Wich supplements for nerve regenerating?

I also was told that you are not the right candidate for AMT. I went to 2 doctors and both told you cant have AMT since you are not eligible . I don't know what doctors see and judge as almost most people having LASIK suffer from dryness as well as nerve pain and the options available should be tried out for. They did risky LASIK surgery and didn't bother at that time , so why the problems now...

[MGD30]

From everything I read amt is used to heal corneal damage to the eye, chemical burns, cuts, erosions. Lasik is basically corneal damage that hasnt healed. I dont think it would be useful for someone that has dry eye from autoimmune disorders or from any non corneal issue. Im not a doctor though so please seek out real professional opinions. Having said that though some people seem to have continual dry eye because they cant break the innflamation cycle, which amt might help with ( i think i learned that from one of the moderators here)

I've talked to two dry eye specialists about Prokera, one of which is renowned, and they both confirmed what you are suspecting. I have nerve damage as a result of dry eye and was told that Prokera would not help me. I wish I could remember the exact explanation as its been a while but I think it was something to the extent that it would not help because I dont have damage to my cornea.

Don't give up hope, because humanity (doctors included) tend to often make things more complicated than they need to be. For example, see how Dr.****** actually =designed= a tool, while his colleagues were naysayers...

Enough people have had their issues resolved once their lids were unclogged and/or cornea's repaired.

After that's accomplished (and yes, it could be a 50/50 chance):
...then its a matter of realizing that environment impacts on a person as well - not just genes which doctors harp on. So its advisable to minimize inflammatory stuff such as UV light, chemicals, stress, and also keeping oneself cool and moisturized. Its a matter of heeding the call of what your body wants. It screams for coolness? So apply cool-wet cloths. Apply White tiger balm to temples. Take Gabapentin. Coffee/and/cream. Others advise arginine, whereas with me, lowfat-lysine diets agree with me.

I asked the opthalmologist if he used anything like Prokera and he said a few times but does not do it for dry eyes. Since mine appears to be immune related, it may not work for me if it's due to constant inflammation that cannot stop. That makes me sad as I have really been struggling for years, and even more in recent times, but am so glad it can work for other dry eye cases.

So why isn't AM applied to lid-margins when applying ****** Probe as well?
Why not AM instead of lidocaine - which is comparatively primitive?

Even better could be mesenchymal stem cells plus prp.

I've never heard of this method, really interesting. Does this work for all dry eye candidates or for specific cases only?

[Phillips55]

Phillips, what about comfy alternatives such as Aril, or Ambiodisk or others on youtube?

I cant speak to those therapies as I am not familiar with them but the advantage of amt is that it is on the surface of eye 24/7 and the amniotic membrane dissolves into the eye. The problem with drops such as blood serum drops is that any kind of drop doesnt stay in the eye for very long.

[Phillips55]

What antibiotic did dr ****** prescribe?

He gave me 2 ointments one for AM and one for PM, I don't know why the need for 2 different ointments but that's why he is the expert. I took a picture of one of the ointments but I cant seem to upload it but it's bacitracin ophthalmic ointment usp. I don't know the name of the other because I discarded it awhile ago and I cant get my prescription records back that far.

[Minni]

I have to warn you in advance though that those 7 days will be hard to get through. The contact is extremely uncomfortable and moves around in the eye so be prepared for it. That's why if I ever have another AMT I would probably opt to have it sutured in instead of prokera.

If my lasik flap repositioning and prp does not work i will see to have HAMT eu in italy . Its like AMT,but less expensive , its 300 dollars for one month supply , still expensive but buyable.

Peter,
I had Chronic dry eyes, couldn't even produce tears when crying. burning, itchiness, discharge, stabbing pain frequent infections, in fact I developed a staph infection in the eyes and eyelids that no caught until I saw dr ******. He had me put antibiotic ointment on the eyelashes for a week. That got rid of the burning.
Over the course of treating my dry eye I've tried pretty much every therapy and supplement on earth but these are what helped the most
AMT(prokera) KEEP IT IN AT LEAST A WEEK
Staph infection treatment(I strongly suggest getting tested)
tea tree wipes(cliridex from Amazon)
Probing
Sleep masks from Rebecca's shop here
Natures tears eye mist
Peter also the reason why I strongly suggest prokera is that it is basically a hard contact coated with stem cells that you could easily put in place yourself if it didn't require a prescription. I didn't have make the drive a second time to see Dr. Mack to have the other eye done, my local doctor simply ordered it from the manufacturer and put it in, I presume your from outside the US and I figure prokera is the easiest way to get an AMT Treatment. Your dr would have to contact the company that makes it to see if they ship outside the us. If you do try it KEEP IT IN THE EYE FOR 7 days or until the membrane disolves. I have to warn you in advance though that those 7 days will be hard to get through. The contact is extremely uncomfortable and moves around in the eye so be prepared for it. That's why if I ever have another AMT I would probably opt to have it sutured in instead of prokera. But the results from prokera have simply been astounding, so the week of misery having it was easily worth it

[PeterBelgian]

What were your symptoms before prokera or even your records Phillips? Whats your symptoms now?Did your eyes were painful?

[Phillips55]

There is a lot of literature on the effectiveness of ocular amniotic membrane transplants in general I suppose not so much specifically for prokera, what happened in my case was I flew down to Tampa to see Dr. ****** and he suggested AMT transplants which would have been exorbitantly expensive and requires actual surgery. I did my own research after that and actually found out about proCara from a post made by someone here long ago. I then drove down to see Dr. Mac in Chicago who does the prokera and I decided to try it because it was a good halfway step it was far less expensive and invasive than traditional AMT so I gave it a shot. It was about $1000 an eye I but my insurance actually covered it. ProCare certainly has its strengths and weaknesses and I actually am becoming reluctant to keep mentioning it because I do sound like a shill but on the other hand I still stop by on these boards and see so many people still in misery from Lasik that I feel I have to mention AMT. I have been burned by so many procedures like lipiflow that I know what it's like to take another chance on something and risk losing money and time and still being in misery but I lead a normal life now where is before I just wanted to die because my eyes were so awful, there is no guarantee that anything will work such as AMT but I think people have to take that risk and I think while AMT is superior and more comfortable to endure but prokera is a good halfway measure that God willing people may see results from such as I did. I do not work for or get paid to advertise anything I am just a regular guy who did his own research and found something that worked. If you want to PM me I'll be glad to give you more personal information to prove that. But I will keep shouting from the rooftops about AMT to Lasix suffers because I know what kind of living hell it is so I'm willing to risk sounding like some cheap salesman.
