majestic: If your testosterone is not low, then why do you take these drops? Are they still helpful?

I have been using prescription dry eye drops with small amounts of testosterone and progesterone. They are made at a compounding pharmacy and were prescribed to me by my optometrist, who specializes in dry eye treatments. While they don't work miracles, I have seen a noticeable improvement when I use them.

I apply them 4x/day. The drops sometimes irritate my eyes a little for maybe 10 minutes or so, but it's nothing major. They make enough of a difference to be very helpful to me. I'm in physical therapy school and was having serious problems with limitations in my studying before I got the drops. Since I've been using them I've been able to study about as much as I need to, though at times I do have to hold back a bit, especially late at night. They cost me about $70/mo, which is a little pricey but compared to what I've spent on dry eye stuff so far is not that bad.

I've been to a lot of doctors, and have only heard about the drops from this one optometrist who prescribed them. Here is some info about ingredients taken from the Rx form:

PROGESTERONE MICRONIZED 0.005 GM
TESTOSTERONE MICRONIZED 0.005 GM
NATURE'S TEARS (MAJOR) 9.990 ML

As you can see above, it's a very low dose of testosterone along with progesterone.

What I like about these drops:

- I see a noticeable improvement, though still have dryness.
- They're helping me get through PT school (with a 7 month old baby).

What I'm not so crazy about:

- The solution has preservatives.
- I don't like the idea of being on any kind of prescription indefinitely.

I've tried to work in some natural ways to increase testosterone. Exercises like lifting heavy weights and sprinting can help. I don't think that low testosterone is actually the cause of my dry eyes. I've been tested and was within the normal range before ever taking the drops.

Overall, I have to say that I'm very glad to have them and would say they're worth giving a try. Message me if you'd like info about the optometrist I see.
