Hello,
I'm new here and only registered to share my experience with dry eyes.
I "caught" this disease when I started to treat my acne with roaccutane (isotretinoine).
Dry eyes is a known side effect, that usually disappear when the drug is stopped, but did not in my case.
Dry eyes (to both eyes) in my case went so bad that I had to go to the emergency room many times because of epithelium wounds (left eye only). I had a laser surgery to make the wound fixed definitely (it worked well).
However, I still have DES since then, and am using drops every day : when waking up (it is really hurting), many times in the day, and before sleeping.
Recently, I started a resveratrol supplement, only for it's general health benefits (dry eyes was not mentioned in what I've read). After two days, I noticed that my eyes were not as dry as usual, and that I needed less drops. Now that is 16 days, if I'm not wrong, and I can use drops only when waking up and when going to sleep. The difference is really significant, and people around me noticed (I was using drops very often).
I hardly only take resveratrol, I'm taking a lot of stuff, so it's possible that resveratrol may enter in synergy with something else (fish oil, vitamin d, curcumin, vitamin c, etc...).
I don't know if I'm allowed to name the brand I'm using ? It's a 250mg pill, with other stuff in it to improve absorption.
I have emailed the company selling the product, and they told me that no studies indicates anything about resveratrol and dry eyes.
I wanted to share my experience, in case it could help other people out there.
I will update my post after more weeks and month of daily use, to confirm that DES in my case is really relieved.
If anyone have experience to share about resveratrol use, I'm interested as well.
Regards,
Guillaume.
