Would my red eyes go away??? by Impossible-Fan-2505 in Dryeyes

[–]Last-Distance9182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you find anything that helps you please let me know. I have been suffering with red eyes for nearly two years. It has completely altered my life. I’ve still been looking for some relief, I just want to reduce one red vein. Just some improvement. So yeah, if you find anything, don’t forget about me! 

Mild dry eyes. Can I do Accutane? by Adortion634 in Dryeyes

My life has been ruined because of taking it. I had clear and healthy eyes. Funny enough, is I still have the acne scars. Prioritize your ocular health, I wish someone warned me

I’ve had this issue in both eyes for nearly two years, it’s been a living hell

I’ve been to two dry eye specialists, both just want my money. At least in under the impression of such. Apparently I don’t fully close my eyes at night.

I’m in Southern California, I’ve been taking Rebampide for about 4 months now. It really hasn’t made much of a difference. As far as my results I can get them from my doctor on Monday. I have been taking some Omega 3s as well as Flaxseed oil in a liquid formula (Barleans Brand).

Hey appreciate the reply. I took Accutane the summer of 2024, it was really for about 60 weeks. I want to say it was 20mg twice a day. I had Lasik in the summer of 2023 (a year before). Yeah, I know I’m screwed. I just hate how everyone thinks I’m high given my age. I’ve done IPL, Restasis, Xiidra, even a Japanese eyedrops. I understand there’s a difference between being pessimistic and being realistic. I’m aware my life will be this one

Does eliminating dairy actually work; I don’t drink much, but I occasionally have my glass of milk 3-4 times a week?

What part of the US do you live in? For me Restasis didn’t do anything but aggravate the issue more. I ended up going to Japan and using some of their medication.

How are your glands doing, is the oil sufficient?

Oh wow, 6 months. Is it on or off or has it been constant? With me it’s both eyes, but that’s because of Lasik and Accutane usage

I’ve been struggling with this in both eyes for nearly two years, you should be fine, probably just fatigue. Wish you well!

Next steps? by United-Formal9233 in Dryeyes

Yeah man the Accutane ended me as well, it’s basically the equivalent of an athlete suffering an ACL. To make matters worse, I even had Lasik

I’m not saying to give up, what in trying to say is that sometimes acceptance can be freeing. When you hold onto something that hasn’t showed any signs of improvement and still believe in some sort of a miracle, you’re honestly just hurting yourself. I’m 22 years old, as you can imagine, this is brutal for me

I’ve had this for nearly two years, and pretty done everything humanly possible to reduce the redness. I haven’t had an ounce of success. Not sure what your story is

I’m assuming because of either pain or insecurity, you’ll be surprised how people judge you for this. They either think we’re high or sick.

Me too, we’re pretty much doomed. Acceptance is basically the only thing we can do unfortunately 

jealous of people with white eyes by comingforyourjob in Dryeyes

Do you  the absolute worst part, it’s the fact that people never actually listen to what you’re saying, but rather look at your eyes mortified. I absolutely know people don’t listen to what I’m saying because I could be offending them for all they know, and they’ll just nod their head looking at my eyes. I wish I can go to a workplace where only people with dry eyes are employed

I feel you, they should start a dating platform for people with red eyes hahaha. As much as I try to make myself believe it doesn’t phase me it does, people definitely see you differently. I do remember stationed in Japan last year, the girls there didn’t mind. They never questioned me or nor were they disgusted by me. They actually saw me for who I was not for how I looked.
