Hey everyone! Just wanted to share something I've found works for me.
First of all, I got LASIK done in December of 2011. I didn't have any problems with dry eyes before then. After the surgery, though, I used the preservative-free eye drops about once per day, sometimes as little as once per week.
I started taking the Dry Eye herbal capsules from Theralife immediately prior to and following the surgery. I continued to take it, and still take the same dosage as I always have, which is 4 capsules in the morning, and 4 capsules in the evening.
I was really unclear as to what effect it had on my dry eyes, since I had been taking it for the entire time since I got LASIK, but then I suddenly got a control group: I ran out of the capsules. I didn't have any, and it was going to be about a week before I got any more. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but then I realized my eyes felt much drier than before. I had to use the preservative-free eye drops 4 or 5 times per day! I went through one vial of eye drops in one day.
Then when I got the capsules and started taking them again, my eyes didn't feel so dry and I didn't have to use the eye drops so much any more. My friend, who got LASIK a few month after me, has also started taking them, and now she's taking them at a rate of two capsules, twice per day. I've tried reducing my dosage, but anything less than four capsules, twice daily results in dry eyes.
Anyways, hope this helps someone out there!
