dry eyes

[Guest guest]

Hi Fiona and Trish

Thanks for your replies. I did a bit of research and lack of vitamin A may be

what's causing it. So, I've been out and bought some cod liver oil supplements,

and lambs liver (yuk).

It seems that if you are hypo you don't get the benefit from carotene in

vegetables, which can't convert to Vitamin A. I've probably been deficient for

years.

My eyes have become extremely dry over the last few weeks and I'm anxious to get it sorted. They became particularly bad 4 weeks after my GP reduced my NDT to 2.5 grains from 3.25. I've increased the NDT to 2.75 grains but although I feel fine, my eyes don't.> > Many thanks in advance> > Jan M> > > > ------------------------------------> > TPA is not medically qualified.

Hi Fliss

Hypos don't convert the carotene into Vitamin A easily and we often end up

vitamin A deficient as a result. I'm not sure why this is, but I guess its just

another thing we have to put up with. Someone who has an over-active thyroid

converts carotene really fast. Beta-carotene is from fruit and veg. The name

carotene comes from 'carrots'.

The best Vit A sources for us is retinol from animals, like cod liver oil or

liver, which doesn't need any converting into a usable form.

i've just remembered something else about dry eyes ...apparently lack of vit b2

can cause the " gritty " effect ...this came up some months ago with sarah from

france and i believe she added b2 back to her daily routine.

Have you tried that Niva lotion with the Q10? it is pretty good stuff.

I also have dry eyes, probably because of a couple of corneal

dystrophies that I have. At bedtime, I use Genteal gel, and it really

helps. When I wake up during the night to go to the bathroom, I put in

some more. It's a terrific product. There are also dry eye ointments,

but I never did have much luck getting ointment into my eyes. The gel

is much easier.

Me, too... from various drugs for RA. etc., etc.,, diuretics and old age. What

helped me is a drop of plain Castor Oil in each eye upon arising and before

bedtime. it has some Omega 3 as does Olive oil, and lasts all day and night. No

pain!!

Are you sure it's sterile enough to put into your eyes?

I've wondered if mine were still there also lol. I forgot that there was surgery

possible. I think I'll check into that. Thank you. I used to have alot of

problems w my eyes and blocking the ducts has done wonders! Have a beautiful

day!

I have tried the temporary plugs in my eyes and they worked for me too.  I just

need to get the permanent ones put in.  I also use Systane Ultra which works

very well.
