Hello everybody,
Went to a new doc, finally a doc with schimer test(paper test), my result 5mm.
He said I need powerful lubricants.
He prescribed me:
C-NAC
CMC 3mg
N-Acetyl-Carnosine 1%w/v
Glycerin 10mg
Purite(preservative)
Cyclomune
Cyclosporine 0.5mg
BAK 0.02 % (preservative)
So, about the lubricant, I told him that my inflammation was caused by abusing CMC drops, but he didn't agree and told me use this. Secondly, I haven't heard of N-Acetyl-Carnosine, advice please.
Secondly, about Cyclosporine drops, I went to like 5 chemists, no one had Cyclosporine drops with another preservative, no other brand. So I took a bottle. Also i just talked to the doc on phone, he said only one alternative called Restasis exists but its not popular around because it costs like 5 times of what he prescribed me. Also he said the preservative is not only for shelf life, it also has a purpose, is also linked with the desired effect of the medicine. He said use it.
He said Cyclosporine drops 3 times a day, the leaflet inside says 2 times a day, with an interval of 12 hours.
I asked for plugs, he said come back after 15 days, if no improvement, you'll get plugs. (probably squeezing more money from me)
So I'm confused, I don't really want to use it, because of the preservative, read that BAK damages cornea, also i'm just scared of drops these days. I am feeling bad today, so much money gone and all I have is a lubricant.
Any thoughts, advice please.
Also I went to like 5 big opticians, no one has heard of onion goggles, moisture chamber goggles. So I just went to a soprts shop and got a swimming goggle, it gets all foggy inside after a while and is uncomfortable, also cannot cannot take it to school, I'm already enough of a joke.
Can anybody post pictures of self made moisture chambers and how they did it?
