Since my Mirena I have experienced extreme dry eyes. It is so bad that sometimes at night it feels like my eye lid is going to stick to my eye ball. I thought it was because I had lasik surgery, but that was six years before having the Mirena placed. I have been seeing an eye specialist and other doctors and no one can figure out the problem. My first guess was the Mirena because this problem didn't start until after the Mirena was placed. Now after reading other stories I'm really convinced.
I agree...Since starting Mirena I have had ovarian cysts and severe dry eyes. Never have I experienced either of these things before the Mirena was placed six months ago.
