Hello everyone, first of all sorry for my not perfect english, i'm nicolas and i'm 20. i'm doing intense studying at school and within 2 month i'm gonna take my exam. So here is my story:
1 year ago i noticed red veins in my eyes ( i had been wearing contacts for 2 years) and i just said to myself it was because i was used to wearing them for too long,and i thought that it was common for all the pople who wore lenses so i just let it go. But 2 month later i had remarks about it, the veins were still there and more numerous. So i went to the ophtalmologist told me to use new lense, didn't work... my problem was just worsening so i went to an other ophtalmologist who gave me artificial drop...didn't work. At that point i started to be very concerned about it and it deeply affected my mood.I decided to stop wearing my contact and i buy glasses and i felt, for the first time of my life, a terrible feeling of dryness, the wind was just killing me...Then i went to several anothers opthalmologists: told me i had ocular allergie, the drops never worked (just worsened my dry eyes)... they also give me the best artificial drop(5 mn of relief...didn't work). I was so depressed i didn't know what to do...then i discovered this forum and i started to change some things: i started warm compresses (with water at first but now with sock rice), i took omega 3, tried to have a good sleep , drink more water ect... It didn't change anything, my dry eyes were just slowly worsening. At that time, i was VERY depressed( i have just isolated myself because now i'm not like normal people, i can't do what a nomal young people of my age do, and moreover nobody understant what you are going through), thought about suicide, (my dry eyes were at their worse, the slightest air movement was just killing my eyes).
So five days ago my mother and i went to the very famous hospital Quinze Vingt, they said i had a SEVERE dry eyes syndrome and a lot of inflammation and put me on Cyclosporine 0.05% twice a day, they told me to come to see them after 3 months of treatment,and to see a psychologist because the first month will be hard,they also said i was not alone in my case, it was good to hear. It burns a lot but i have to resist, its my only chance.
So here is my new routine :
doxycyline 100mg a day
1600 epa 500 dha a day ( i decided to go with high doses since normal doses didn't work)
hyaluronate drops
a tea spoon of flaxessed oil
cyclosporine 0.05 2x a day
a multivitamin (who knowns ?)
warm compress(rice + microwave) twice a day ( i don't kown how your compress stay hot for 5 or 10 minutes.. mines start to cool down after 3 mn...)
one humidifier
