Hi, I never enter his forum anymore since it reactivates old, dark feelings but felt I had to share that I feel that I'm back to living a normal life (I started out as a post LASIK dry eye sufferer with corneal neuralgia). As you can see from my previous posts I have gone through a whole lot of treatments and experiments. There has been ups and downs, sometimes I have felt much better, then again worse. But I few years ago I started doing IRPL (even if I don't think I have so much MGD) and it was really helpful. However, it was pricey, so I invested in one of these light therapy masks: https://hudcentralen.se/products/lum...ogle&utm_term=
I use it once every two days. Sometimes I put it a little higher up (with closed eyelids) so that the light shines onto my eyelids. The mask is around 200 dollars and since I started this I have not needed to do IRPL (which is like 560 dollars for every round of three treatments), and I would say that I now I'm feeling better and since I can do the treatment whenever I want the effect never fades. I also take evening primrose oil two times a day, like 5-6 grams in total. Apart from that, I don't do anything and I would say I'm almost back to normal, I feel my eyes bother me very little.
What was also helpful when I was more symptomatic was a supplement called NMN (however, be aware it uses up methyl groups (this article talks about another supplement called NR but NR and NMN are quite similar): https://www.thorne.com/take-5-daily/...amide-riboside)
I also experimented with mixing a very small amount of NMN in saline and using it as eye drops (has to be very little, and mixed throughly, otherwise it stings, also it shouldn't be stored but you should mix a new solution for every use since it breaks down in water. Here's an article about a study about it: https://www.hygieiabiotech.com/nmn-dry-eye-disease/
I found it helpful both to take the NMN as a supplement and to apply it topically (however, note that the latter is very experimental). I never weighed the amount that I put in the saline so can not provide you with a number but it should be very little.
Wishing you all great improvement!
