Ngf Question!!!!!!

[Alexandra]

Hello everybody!
I wanted to say first that plugs are something wonderful. I have 4 plugs since about 1,5 years now. I am still experiencing some problems, but I can live with dry eye now without any problems for about 75% of the time!!!!!
But now I have a question: Is there a possibility to get NGF treatment somehow? I am 100% sure that I have dry eye from contact lens. Please write me, my doc is very good, open and experimental. he does whatever I say
Thanks to everybody!!!!

I did a search on this site for "ngf" and nothing came up. I have no idea what that stands for. You're more likely to get some good responses if you spell out what it is you're asking about.

I believe NGF stands for Nerve Growth Factor. Here is a link to an article about NGF drops in the treatment of DES. http://books.google.com/books?id=XU7...um=3&ct=result

I don't know and I did not see anything online about how to get it. You should ask your doctor. You can post here for Dr. Latkany in his forum, he might know.
