Do eye drops eg) Systane Ultra get rid of eyelid swelling/ the lid and eye changes associated with dry eye? Note that I am also receiving treatment for hypothyroidism (as of last year) and hope that this will contribute to improved eye health/get rid of thickened eyelids, but have had dry eye problems for decades before I ever had any hypothyroidism problem. (age 37, 5ft, 9 stone) History: Have previously been given mast cell stabilisers for the eye w no obvious benefit. I discontinued use after approx 2 months but have never really had itchy red eyes. Another doctor said eye dryness is the problem not allergy. Previous eye drops for dryness though did little to deal with the 'cosmetic changes in the eye, lid issues' I have experienced over the years.
