SLK Related to Dental Work (Invisalign) ?

[Guest]

My eyes were so bad i applied lotemax twice yesterday and removed the invisalign trays. Im not sure if its an allergy to the trays or the pressure being put on my teeth but they appear to be the cause of my SLK. Im leaning towards it being the pressure on my teeth causing my thyroid to react which is causing the SLK. This all might sound far fetched but this is what im going with for now. I have an eye doctor appointment tomorrow and am interested to see what he thinks since both my slk flare ups have coincided with starting invisalign. I think im just going to have to cancel my Invisalign treatment.

Go with your gut man...I think the decision you made was smart and safe.

Its been a bit since I last posted but unfortunately I still suffer from SLK years later and treating a flair up currently. I did see a new eye doctor this past Friday that is more familiar with it so I'm optimistic about treatment going forward.
