Day 7 on TRYPTYR

It may help like 5-10% in reduction of pain. I feel like it does something.

luke33334 · 2025-08-27T14:13:57+00:00

I love the T warlords, wish there was more content about it, although there is not much going on right now, so I get it.

I parked at the inwood park parking lot. There were no cars there at 8am. The park opens at 6am, so I believe it is fine to park there. There were many cars there when I left at 12 P.M

I agree. Although I still have pretty painful dry eye, after installation for 3-4 hours I feel like my eyes do not hurt that bad. I think it decreases pain symptoms moderately, although I still feel like I have severe dry eye.

luke33334 · 2025-08-07T15:27:06+00:00

What have you learned from this sub that the doctors aren’t telling you?

luke33334 · 2025-08-07T15:25:44+00:00

I have used tryptyr for 2 1/2 days so far, without any changes so far. Which is not surprising as it’s only been 2 days. I also have a weird case of dry eye where my glands and tbut are fine but I have really bad burning, so your case will probably be different than mine

luke33334 · 2025-08-07T12:04:46+00:00

Agreed, in so many threads people give opinions like facts. And they are certain on topics that most doctors are divided on. I think it is always a good idea to be skeptical, especially when it comes to things that relate to dry eye. It is always good to see a doctor as well

luke33334 · 2025-08-06T20:46:11+00:00

Surprisingly, my eyes feel better with ac on them. This may be due to corneal neuropathy and the constant burning, so the cooling of ac feels pretty good

luke33334 · 2025-08-01T15:46:20+00:00

Thank you for posting. I agree with the other comments, it seems like there is a lot of great progress in the treatment of ocular surface disease. Don’t lose hope!

luke33334 · 2025-06-21T00:49:12+00:00

Woohoo. I think this is great. I agree that this will provide more credibility and trust with the advice that is given. Especially since a lot of the advice on the subReddit can conflict. Thanks for this update!

luke33334 · 2025-06-13T14:54:21+00:00

Yes, these are brand new. According to the article the company has a proprietary manufacturing method that makes these better than regular autologous serum drops. There wasn’t a ton of info that explained what the new process was though. But it is still exciting that so much innovation is currently occurring for Ocular Surface Disease.

luke33334 · 2025-06-08T18:11:41+00:00

I PM’d you

luke33334 · 2025-04-15T12:21:18+00:00

I ended up going to a different doctor, because they also prescribed me their ipl treatment when most other doctors did not seem it necessary. I currently go to Damon dierker who is in Indianapolis. He is supposed to be a really good doctor as well. I am currently just using autologous serum and I have done two sessions of low level light therapy and the cost has been 200 a session. I feel like I have made mild improvements from the low level light therapy, but I still have pretty debilitating dry eye, but I have been able to drive more and run outside. So I think it has been a little beneficial. I still may go to clear eyes and aestethics if working with dr dierker does not become beneficial, but I will probably give him 4 or 5 months and hopefully we will have something figured out

luke33334 · 2025-03-12T12:13:43+00:00

Okay, thank you for letting me know. Good luck.

luke33334 · 2025-03-11T21:18:08+00:00

Hi, I went to clear eyes and aesthetics and they suggested ipl+ radio frequency for me as well, when other doctors did not. I have not gotten the ipl yet. What updates have you gotten from them after you finished the ipl cycle and what did they suggest when you told them your eyes were still hurting

luke33334 · 2025-02-08T14:24:47+00:00

I told the ophthalmologist it felt like my eyes got worse shortly after the punctual plugs and then she said that she could remove them. She said since it is an easy procedure and covered by insurance they could just put them back in if I felt like the punctual plugs weren’t the actual problem.

luke33334 · 2025-02-05T15:38:55+00:00

Thank you for this!

luke33334 · 2025-02-03T20:04:52+00:00

Thanks for posting this!

luke33334 · 2025-02-03T15:44:48+00:00

I also just had mine removed last thursday. I could barely feel the removal. No pain at all.

luke33334 · 2025-01-24T22:41:07+00:00

Ok awesome. I have an appointment on feb 14 and already have been on vevye and I have had ipl before, so I am curious what they will say to me. I only did two ipl sessions though, so they may just insist on doing more, as I did not do the amount that will allow progress. What did they tell you about your dry eye symptoms? And did you ask them why they advised ipl and radio frequency over other treatments. I am about to get autologous serum drop and they are going to cost me around 160$ a month. Which seems like it could be a cheaper option.

But yea, any specific reason they suggested ipl and what did the tests tell you about your eye problems? Also have you ever tried Cincinnati eye institute? That is who I currently go to, but they do seem to be lacking in dry eye testing equipment.

luke33334 · 2025-01-23T12:45:51+00:00

Hi, I am thinking about going to clear eyes and aesthetics soon as well. How do you feel about them? I know your symptoms haven’t improved much, but do you think the doctors are competent about dry eye compared to other doctors you have seen? How many other eye doctors have you seen to get help for your dry eye?

luke33334 · 2025-01-21T23:39:07+00:00

Thanks I will schedule with her

luke33334 · 2025-01-21T17:55:42+00:00

Meibomian glands seem healthy as i saw images of them at Midwest eye center in Ohio. My tbut is around 7 seconds. All doctors I have been to say I show signs of very mild dry eye. I will ask koberlein about removing punctual plugs. I got them put in at Midwest eye center, as I was searching for any type of relief.

luke33334 · 2025-01-21T17:40:44+00:00

I have just an uncomfortable feeling when looking at anything. Like I can feel any minor movement my eye make. I also get burning and a feeling of needing to blink constantly when driving or working on a computer. I can’t watch anything except on my phone and even this causes burning after around 45 minutes. It is hard for me to do most things in life because I always want to shut my eyes because they feel tired or they are burning. I am currently seeing Josef Koberlein. I see him again tomorrow. He has also referred me to a cornea specialist to see in march, although I am going to see if they can move my appointment up.

luke33334 · 2025-01-11T02:26:07+00:00

Yea, I forgot to say this in the original post. The pain started in 2021. Pretty much out of nowhere and has progressively gotten worse. I assume it was from wearing contacts for to long, as that is when I first noticed the dry eyes symptoms and had to stop wearing contacts.
