OCD related DRY EYE and fear
I have blinking awareness OCD that make me fear that cause natural blinking pattern disrupted due to hyper awareness of blinking. That gives severe dryness like symptoms like red burn gritty feel.  But I intentionally blink excessively for lubrication. But when I distracted myself From concentrating blinking natural automatic blink happen my burning reduced. But the main problem is fear of eye complications like scarr or ulcers. Because Google I see some articles and ai says severe dry eye cause ulcer dry eye that make me fear that increase my OCD. I checked my tear production doctor says I have enough tear production. But my biggest fear is this cause me scarr or ulcer that affect my vision.
