for more than three years my wife aged 56 has difficulty in opening eyes and sandy irritating feeling as the day progresses, worst in evening.Relieved when white paste(like thread) material comes out of eyes.She hasl type-2 diabetes but dibetician says it has nothing to do with diabetes. Cineraria maritama drops give some relief.
