    dry eyes much beter

    Hello everyone, This is my first post and i hope it will possibly help others. To start with i started with dry eyes in 1985, went to four specialist, was told that i had ker............... ,a long word meaning "DRY EYES". I tried drops--ointments--dark glasses--omega oils etc. --could not watch tv over one and 1/2 hrs, if i did my eyes would be in a very dry state. I was miserable all the time and i kept my faith that i would find some relief someday. I read on some forum 2 yrs ago that one dry eye person quit taking "MULTI VITAMINS" and had dry eyes no more,well i was willing to try anything so i stopped taking my "MULTI VITAMINS" and in 3 days seen a great improvement and in 2 wks a vast improvement. For the 20 yrs that i had the dry eyes (I WOULD ESTIMATE 80% DRY, NOW I WOULD SAY THEY ARE 10% dry ) Bob

    Bob:

    I am very intrigued by this. Do you have any more details you can share? Any idea why this would be?

    Thanks.

      dry eyes?

      Randal, I tried everything under the sun for 20 yrs (1985 to 2005) and nothing worked until i "STOPED" taking multi vitamins, sorry, I can not tell you more. The reason that I am on this forum is to possibly help others with dry eyes as i know all about the suffering that you all are putting up with. It worked for me and I pray that It might work for others . Bob

        Bob:

        One more question, please: Have you stopped taking all vitamins, or just multivitamins? I'm asking because in addition to a multivitamin, I take others: B complex, C, zinc, etc.

        Thanks.

          Randal, All my life i took multi vitamins plus--"c"--"e"-. When i stopped the multi vitamins I went from 80% dry eyes to about 10% within a couple wks. Then i stopped all vitamins as i was afraid to use any type of vitamin. In the beginning, When i was 48 yrs old (i will be 71 in april) i started blinking a lot as i was under florecent lights all day long so i talked to an eye proffesional and he said to try rose colored glasses, well i did and they gave me instant relief for a couple of days and then i got rid of them. I also have a lot of lime in my water so i use filters for that and i do not think that it helped. My next step was the puncial plugs put into the lower drains and they helped a lot, as i still have them in. I know the multi vitamin thing sounds crazy, but it worked for me and i hope it will work for others also. When i had the sever dry eyes I could not go anywhere because florecient lights where present and after being under them for about 1/2 hr i was done for the day. When i tried to watch tv in about 1/2 hr to 1-1/2 hr i was done for the night. "IN OTHER WORDS MY LIFE FOR 20 YRS WAS A LIVING HELL WHEN I TOOK THE MULTI VITAMINS." I now can watch tv hr after hr and i can be on the computer all day long with no problems. Bob

            Bob, thank you for sharing your experience. It's given me something to think about. Once I've adjusted to recent changes I've made (from one eye drop to another), I may try dropping multivitamins and possibly some of the others, and see what happens.
