Hi all,
So both my hubby and I were diagnosed with severe dry eye in July 07. He went to see his optho last week and the Dr saw NO SIGNS of dryness. I sent my hubby with a list of questions which the Dr answered:
1)Do I have corneal or general dryness?
Dr: None, eyes look good. - He did the yellow dye thingy.
2)Am I aqueous or oil deficent?
Dr: Schirmers was good and glands excreting good oil. - The Dr poked his gland area.
3)Any signs of inflamation/belph?
Dr: None.
So my husband eyes are good, the only thing I would say is that he has, like myself, gotten some pingueculla's.
I'm not sure how he improved so well, he never does compresses, uses comp 10 hrs a day, stays up late. But what he has been doing is:
1)Flax oil daily
2)Nutra tear, he doesnt like Dwelle or Dakrina, apparently they make his lids stick together, esp in morning.
3)Got a good pair of wrap around sun glasses.
I am glad and jealous that he is better.
I however, continue my struggle with bleph, MGD, dry eye & ugly looking pingueculla's. I do compresses, use Dwelle and Nutra-tear, blinking exercises etc. I am going to give Azasite a shot. I had to BEG the Dr for a preccrip for it though, he didnt think it would help and he refused to give me a prescrip for Freshkote cos he hadnt heard of it, thought it was too new.
Anyway, I hope my husbands recovery gives everyone a glimpse of hope. He continue's to use nutra-tear, twice a day.
Thanks
Suneet.
