So I’m super shocked and to be honest I don’t know what to think?
As as everyone knows in this forum I’m super depressed because of my dry eyes, so I’ve been from doctor to doctor trying new methods, listening to new ideas and just using whatever is working to lessen my dry eyes.
IVe been taking flax seed oil and fish oil omega 3 etc.
so yesterday I went to a new eye doctor, and after talking about my whole story, and looking at my medical record with all the medicine I’ve tried, first thing he told me he was absolutely shocked no doctor has recommended a thyroid test, he says I’m too young (26) and that all the medicine I’ve taken is for 80 year old people. I shouldn’t have dry eyes at this age.
Second he mentioned (after testing and examining my eyes, he added some weird yellow drops) that my eyes looked totally fine! He said I might have MILD dry eye and actually my eyes look absolutely perfect and even my nmeibomian glands were great! He did a test and he said tear evaporation time is 7. (I didn’t get it? But apparently in a scale 1-10 I’m a 7 and he wouldn’t even think I have dry eye, he said dry eye people would get a 3...
he also mentioned that probably I did have dry eye (due to the hormone imbalance or thyroid problem) but flax seed oil and fish oil are greatly helping me.
To be honest I’m doing super good I only have dry eyes know every once in a while maybe couple of days every 2 weeks but I can’t wear any makeup, he said that with time I will probably be able to; he also recommended to buy new eye liner and mascara and just to try a brand new product to make sure my old makeup is not infected with something and is producing the dry eye.
What at do you guys think? I don’t know for example today I have super dry eye I’ve used my eye drops a lot (yesterday I was doing fine) so maybe he’s right? It’s a thyroid problem? One day I’m fine and the next I have dessert dry eyes?!..
he also said the eye takes time to restore some cells or something and if my dry eye was produced due to medicine it might be a while before I’m “normal” again, is that true?
What do you guys think?
