u/elacudos

I have been dealing with dry eyes for over 4 months now, and my eyes are persistently red. Since going to a dry eye specialist, I am feeling more confused, defeated, and feel like I am wasting money.

To summarize:

·         I have 30% meibomian gland atrophy at 27.

·         She states my scrimers test, and TBUT are normal

·         Stated there is level 1 inflammation on the lower part of eye, and level 1 MGD, and corneal staining. Also stated oil glands are "plugged"

·         She stated lower TBUT, and MGD only in the lower part of eyes

·         She presumed some type of autoimmune disorder/thyroid dysfunction and I tested my T4, T3, TPO and TSH, and a full allergen panel.

o   T4,T3 and TSH all came back normal, and TPO, TSI and TRAB came back negative. Allergen panel came back fully negative.

·         I was prescribed flurometholone 2x a day for 2 weeks, then 1x a day for 2 weeks, and now currently off the anti inflammatory.

I am currently using optohylase hydrating drops 3x a day, 15 minutes of heated eye mask daily, and a night eye mask to sleep. I have a follow-up visit in 3 weeks. I have visited this specialist 5 times, and she is the only one in my entire city (small city) and is very expensive. I don't see any progress, nor do her records indicate any progress. All the diagnostic markers are still the same as they were when I first visited. I am hoping maybe someone here has experienced something similar and has some product/lifestyle suggestions I can try, or something to present to the specialist that she can investigate that maybe hasn't been addressed. This is not only ruining my mental state, but my life honestly.

 

I already have decent pets. Should i spend them on legendary gems or normal gems, or something else? Current resonance is 1700.

SPF recommendation very dark skin, with no phenoxyethanol (preferably chemical). Looking for an SPF for a very dark skin but trying to avoid phenoxyethanol due to dry eye disease and irritation more around eye lids.

Have any very dark skin individuals successfully implemented glycolic acid or vitamin c in their skincare routine? (If you have please provide product, and frequency of usage). Every time i try, i somehow get burned and darker for weeks or months.

I heard there is either a June update, or Diablo Immortal 2 coming in June? I just started the game, and was wondering if this is just rumor or grounded in some evidence?
