My first IPL treatment

[jimi51]

Hi,
I will hold out hope for that "healing" to come for sure. It's just that before yesterday, I really thought that the sclera lens was going to help me, when I found out that, at least for now, I am not, I kind of get hopless, you know, one step forward, two back. I do wear moisture goggles all day, I use Panoptix "Taku." I never take them off, I have two pair and I am under a hat as well all day and night also because I have so many floaters as well.

Rose, what is your thinking on the plugs? I know that without them I do not get any moisture at all. I also know that in the mornings I have much tear overflow but by night my eye lids are so worn that they become swollen and I have to use ice and Genteal Gel by 9:00 PM. Any other suggestions, I am listening! Thanks again.

What is IPL?

IPL is an intense pulsated light therapy usually used for skin conditions like rosacea. However, some doctors believe its also helps patients with dry eye.

I never knew that doctors would do 6 or 7 treatments. I asked my doc how many treatments he would be willing to do, he said if I have't seen improvement by the 4th he wouldn't do another. Although some of you are getting relief just not as much as hoped..and with more treatments. I hope that even if I go from a 10 to and 8 and get some relief it'll will be worth it. Has anyone here tried IPL with ocular rosacea?

This sounds like an interesting treatment but the fact that Dr.latkany is not a fan,would make me wary of it.saying that,as a last resort i guess its definitely worth a try seeing as some people have had benefits
