February Update
Just an update on how I'm doing:
Eye socket pain is gone.
Vision much improved.
OCT 2006: Dry eye investigation at Mathesons Optometrists, Petersfield, Hampshire, England UK.
He found that I have reduced tear production, Goblet glands dysfunctional and Meiobian Gland blockage, Blepharitis / Streptococci Infections. Lacerations to the eye surface and flat bits on my corneas, which pretty much describes why my vision was so crappy at the time.
Prescribed: Theratears single use drops 1 bottle daytime and 1 bottle at night, Sterilid (Mornings), and Lid-Scrubs (Evenings). Also warm compresses to release waxy deposits in the lid margins.
FEB 2007: Follow-up dry eye investigation at Mathesons Optometrists, Petersfield, Hampshire, England UK.
Much improvement in my vision, glands are coming back into use, and corneas are almost healed. Blepharitis has gone though some staph infection. There is much work to do to get back to some normality, although I'm under no illusion that this condition will NOT go away, just good honest management and good habits to maintain my vision.
Thanks all for your help, I will still be in touch and give updates.
Thanks to Advanced Vision Research for Theratears, which seems to work for me.
Footnote.
I began to run out of Theratears and tried going back to Minims single use drops and could not even bear it for one day! Aaargh! My eyes stung terribly and were so sore I went back to Theratears immediately. I won't make the same mistake twice!
All the best
