I have been very neglectful of this site that gave me so much help in my time of need, but I want to let you know how well I am doing.
After almost two years since Lasik I have to admit that I am fairly much doing nothing with my eyes, no drops, no compresses and no night time gels, though to be honest i should really be doing the compresses. My eye is doing really well, I get an occasional 'dry' felling, but rarely any soreness and never any pain. And that is from a place here I was having erosions and experiencing a pain that I never thought possible, in a place that there is not supposed to be any pain, the eye.
Looking back big chances came:
1. Removing my top plug. With MGD I felt that removing one plug left my eye feeling more stable and not so up and down.
2. Doing rice bag with lid wipes and no scrubs. I felt the scrub left my eye felling raw, even though it was a gentle 'wipe' rather then a 'scrub'.
And of course I swear by eating raw veg and juicing all day every day which helped get my inflammation under control.
Right now I am living in a very remote part of Ireland where the men wear peaked hats and tweed jackets and donkeys abound...a big change from San Francisco. I am doing a course in organic horticulture, a path I never would have taken if it wasn't for my dry eye experience. I am no longer eating raw due to the really cold conditions in Ireland, but I am hopeful now that I am growing my own I will get back into it again.
So there you go...I hope the oldies are doing better and for the newbies, hang in there...it may take a while to find what works for you, but it will happen.
Keep well,
Bernadette
