At 19, my eyes were so damaged from dry eyes due to an autoimmune disorder, I lost the ability to read, drive, and to my ultimate chagrin, wear contacts. Every specialist agreed that my eyes were too damaged for surgery: the corneas were nearly completely eroded away, and the tear ducts were 6 times the size they should be - and also quite crooked.
They told me I had the eyes of a 90 year old and my only option was a new drug - Restasis. A month into Restasis I developed pneumonia that was resistant to all medication, and - four months into the pneumonia - found out it is a top side effect from Restasis. Mainstream doctors had no further suggestions for my eyes.
By luck, I stumbled upon the naturaleyecare website and called for a phone consult. Not only did they have suggestions - but ones that made sense and gave hope. I began taking their homeopathic eye drops for dry eyes, Biotears, and Visiontone, and in a short time my dry eyes again became moist!
By the end of college I was back to wearing contacts regularly, and after graduation I went for a regular eye check up and left an astonished ophthalmologist - my eyes held no sign of Sjogren's Syndrome or dry eye disease, and I needed a weaker contact prescription than ever before. The thing is, it's a pretty spectacular thing to wake each day as a 24 year old with 24 year old eyes, put in contacts, and read the paper before driving to work - all things I thought I'd never do again.
