My visit to Dr. Latkany

[hopingforacure]

I saw Dr. Latkany today, he diagnosed me right away with rosacea. I can't believe that three other eye doctors and my dermatologist missed that. He showed me how to properly express my lids and gave me a regime to follow. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around everything we talked about....

Im so happy that you have a diagnosis. I have struggled with Rosacea for a while and my eyes are getting worse. Would you mind sharing what he suggested for you and your regime. I would be so grateful!

My new regime

Refrigerated Restasis 2x a day. Cold compresses 3x a day (I use rice in a knee hi kept in the freezer). Lid expression in AM after shower. Cold preservative free drops when needed. I need to find my triggers, still working on that. I'm in A LOT less pain, so thankful!!!! I wonder if having a diagnosis also alleviated my fears/anxiety.

Hey, are you still on the program recommended by Dr. Latkany last Fall? Have you experienced sustained relief?
