- Dry eye disease
Made my eyes worse
My eye doctor examined my eyes and said I have dry eyes and recommended for me to use the zocushield eye gel product. I've been using it for less than a week and my eyes are now watery, gritty, sticky, and has gunky stuff around the eyes and lashes. I now constantly have to wipe my eyes in the morning and periodically throughout the day, causing irritation to the point where they are sensitive and itchy.
Prior to using this product, my eyes felt fine (normal). I didn't feel anything was wrong with my eyes or knew I had dry eyes until after my annual eye examination. Felt as if I started to have eye issues after using this product.
This product might work for others but definitely have made my eyes worse. Felt like my eyes were normal and after using this product, caused my eye condition/issue . I will stop using this product to see if my eyes will go back to how it was before. I will be letting my eye doctor know this product has caused my these eye condition issues for me.

Hi C.N.,
I am so very sorry to hear that! I assume you have stopped using it.
Please call your doctor's office immediately and let them know what's going on. It could be a reaction to an ingredient in the product (which may indicate reporting to the manufacturer and the FDA), or it could be a new condition that needs attention - the discharge you describe, for example, is not necessarily a dry eye symptom.
Regarding the dry eye diagnosis: I'm going to suggest you check out dryeyezone.com and read up on dry eye at other sources if you haven't already. It sounds like more information about dry eye would be a good thing. It's not uncommon to have dry eye that shows up in clinical testing but where you are not aware of the symptoms, but if dry eye disease of some kind is present it really is important to get a thorough (detailed) diagnosis and treatment. Don't hesitate to ask as many questions as possible to understand what exactly is wrong.
Kind regards
Rebecca
