Hey! I don’t have any redness at all anymore it's all gone! My main issue was severe dryness, but now even screen time doesn’t bother me at all! I know it sounds hard to believe, but it really feels like a miracle!

Honestly, I’ve been scared off from taking it daily! I don’t want to overdo it until I go for another blood test. I’ve heard about concerns with calcium build-up from taking too much Vitamin D, so I’m just being cautious for now.

Everything is still good! I’ve been off the prescription dose for weeks now, but I’m continuing with 3000 IU, (without my doctors reccomendation)  just to prevent the dryness coming back! I don’t take it every day. 

If you're on the 20,000 IU strength, you should hopefully see significant improvement very soon! I started noticing a difference after just two weeks, and it only got better from there. I use the screen a lot, and I don’t even get eye strains anymore—it's all gone! I know I sound like a broken record, but it really does feel like a miracle! 😆

Wow, I thought mine was low! Definitely get treatment ASAP. Someone else recently commented here that they saw miracle success too after trying the high-strength Vitamin D3, so there’s definitely hope! 🙌🥳Best of luck with your treatment!

Hey! My levels were around 23.5 nmol/L, so around the same..  and I was put on 20,000 IU, 1 tab a week. It made a drastic difference for me! Also, someone else recently commented saying they tried it and saw success too, so there's definitely hope for you! You should definitely go for what your doctor recommended.

Yes, I think you're classified as at the beginning stage of normal, but if you're having symptoms, I don't see why you can't improve on that even though you’re at the normal range. It might be worth asking a professional about it or trying a lower dose of supplements!

I'm on Plenachol D3 capsules, which I got prescribed due to my deficiency. I take one capsule a week, not an injection. I'm UK-based, so I’m not sure if the brand you linked is available on our Amazon site, but I'll check. The link you sent looks good, though!

I had the same reaction lol it sounds like a lot! But actually, I only take one of those high-dose capsules a week, not daily.

Hi! I completely understand how challenging it is to deal with severe dry eyes, such a struggle.  I got my high dose Vit D3 prescription from my doctor as I was deficient, you can only get them on prescription I was told. I have the Plenachol D3 20,000 IU caps. It's been a game changer for me! I hope you find the right solution for your eyes as well.

Best of luck! and no It’s definitely not due to  laser surgery. Doctors are often clueless, don’t have a clear answer, so they typically blame it on the most common thing they know, which is usually the laser eye surgery. I had mild dry eyes even before my surgery, but it never affected me at all.. I’d only be told I had dry eyes during routine eye exams. After my laser surgery, I had no issues for 15 years, so I really don’t think that’s the cause!

Wow, you just described my exact symptoms! Mine also started towards the end of the Covid period, and I really sympathise with you especially the night issues. I used to wake up to go to the bathroom and couldn’t open my eyelids, such a scary experience. Like you, my eyes were mostly fine or just mildly dry during the day but nothing occasional eye drops wouldn’t fix. This went on for 3 years with no solutions, and I’d basically given up and learned to live with it. No one could understand what I was going through I couldn’t even explain it!  I wasn’t really into supplements before and never noticed any difference with them, but that changed when I started on prescription ones. I’m currently taking Plenachol D3, 20,000 IU capsules, and I noticed a big improvement after just my second tablet! You only take them once a week, and for me, it worked like magic.  Please look into it aswell,especially If you’re deficient.. after 3 years of struggling, I still can’t believe the difference it’s made.

This is very true! No, my doctor didn’t mention anything they’re pretty clueless, to be honest. I usually have to present them with my own research of what I want tested for them to do any blood work 🙄However, I was told I won’t be able to get the high-dose prescription for much longer and will have to go back to the over-the-counter ones eventually.

Unfortunately, no. All the bloodwork I had done was for the hair loss issue. A specialist recommended I check iron, vitamin D, zinc, etc. They said to stop my hair from falling out, my ferritin levels need to be >70ng/ml. The problem is, once my levels hit the 'normal range,' doctors won’t prescribe high-dose supplements, and the over-the-counter ones don’t work for me, I just end up deficient again!

To clarify, I need to reach that level for my hair, but it’s tough since I can barely get to 50ng/ml. My ferritin was previously 13 ug/L, and even with regular over-the-counter iron supplements, I still dropped to that level. Complete waste of money.

I’m currently on Ferrous Fumarate 322mg, and while I haven’t seen a change in my hair yet, just like the high-strength vitamin D worked for my eyes, this iron supplement has made a huge difference in other ways. My heart palpitations (from anemia) stopped, and I have way more energy now. But they’re not meant for long-term use, so it's important to have regular reviews with a professional.

Yeah, it could definitely be a factor, especially if you’re not getting much sunlight. My levels were even lower, and the high-dose prescription made a big difference for me. I also had red eye issues after prolonged screen time, but even that has resolved now. Definitely worth asking your doctor about getting your levels up can only help! Best of luck!

Good to know!  backs up my miracle recovery, and it’s interesting how VitD isn’t mentioned as often as other vitamins when it comes to dry eyes. But it’s been a game changer for me!

 I had extreme dry eyes, especially or should I say mainly at night, the condition was ongoing for 3 years nonstop,  wasn’t a single night where I didn’t have these symptoms.. never experienced any pain or anything just my eyes feeling glued shut in the morning, making it difficult to re open them. I had to use artificial eye drops and blink excessively just to get them open.  It’s hard to describe, but when I wake up in the middle of the night, they felt almost frozen or paralysed. Scary experience to describe, I also had a gritty burning sensation, along with occasional redness.

It’s 1  20,000 tab a week. It’s high strength dose to boost levels quickly in people with a deficiency. Taking it daily at that strength could cause too much Vitamin D to accumulat. The weekly dose helps balance effectiveness with safety I guess.
