SEVERE DRY EYES SUFFERER
I, TOO, SUFFER FROM SEVERE DRY EYES. ARTIFICIAL TEARS, UPPER AND LOWER PLUGS, MINICIN TWICE A DAY, FISH OIL CAPSULES, VISITS TO FIVE OPTHOMOLOGISTS, CORNEA SPECIALISTS, BASKIN PALMER EYE INSTITUTE... STILL NO RELIEF. I HAVE AN APPT SCHEDULED WITH A REUMATOLIST WHO HOPEFULLY WILL DETERMINE THE CAUSE, WHICH COULD PROVIDE TREATMENT. IN RESEARCHING DRY EYES SYNDROME OVER THE INTERNET I CAME ACROSS AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR HYDROEYE, A SPECIALLY FORMULATED CAPSULE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO IMROVE THE QUALITY OF THE EYE'S LUBRICATION BY ENHANCING THE PRODUCTION OF THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE TEAR FILM: MUCOUS, WATER, AND OIL. IT IS AN ALL NATURAL PRODUCT CONTAING VITAMINS, MINERALS, ETC. I AM GOING TO CALL MY DOCTOR TOMORROW ABOUT IT. NOT ONLY DOES SEVERE DRY EYE SYNDROME CAUSE MISERY BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING TO REALIZE THAT, IF LEFT UNTREATEED, IT CAN DAMAGE TISSUE AND POSSIBLY SCAR THE CORNEA OF THE EYE, LEADING TO IRREVERSIBLE, SIGHT THREATENING CONDITIONS! I PRAY THAT WE WILL GET THE ANSWERS AND RELIEF WE NEED VERY SOON. I HAVE HAD THIS GOING ON EVERY DAY, ALL DAY, FOR THREE YEARS NOW, AND, AS WITH ANY SUFFERER OF A CHRONIC ILLNESS IT IS DEPRESSING. I WILL ADVISE YOU FROM TIME TO TIME IF ANYTHING PROVIDES EVEN THE LITTLEST BIT OF RELIEF - FOR EXAMPLE THIS MORNING I PURCHASED THE ONLY ARTIFICIAL TEAR PRODUCT ON THE MARKET LEFT FOR ME TO TRY - VISINE TEARS - AND GUESS WHAT, THEY DID PROVIDE SOME RELIEF - THEY ARE COOLING. GIVE THEM A TRY IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.
