A member asked:
Last year, i had an ocd ritual that involves washing out my eyes under a tap multiple times a day for about six months. now i have severely dry eyes. could the dry eye be caused by the overwashing?

OCD and eye washing: Please see an eye doctor ASAP. After he/she determines the state of your eyes and what may be need, please get treatment for your OCD. A clinical psychologist trained in a treatment called "Response Prevention" can be helpful to you. Peace and good health.
