TheraTears & Restasis

1/09/10

I've completely finished my second bottle of TheraTears Omega-3 Supplements that everyone raves about on amazon.com. I had many high hopes for the product but I feel a bit indifferent thus far. The bottle states that you should take 3 capsules a day and continue use beyond 4 to 8 weeks which I am currently doing. I will comment on after this third bottle is finished. There website states that the omega-3 capsules assist in providing the fatty acids needed in a healthy diet and furthermore, "TheraTears Nutrition provides the omega-3s your oil glands need to make the healthy oil that coats your tear film to reduce evaporation.* This healthy oil protects and moisturizes the eye and supports healthy tear function.*" I guess we'll see what happens in another month.

I finished my supply of restasis. I'ved used the product since November 19, 2009 for a little under 2 months. I'm also indifferent about this product since I'm not sure if it helped my condition as much since I used it in conjunction with Theratears eye drops. I wish I could comment more on the product; a part of me wants to say the drop of restasis in the morning the the drop at night did help but it could just be the hopefulness inside of me just wanting to believe.

6 Hour Trip

Before I was diagnosed with dry eye, my eyes never really felt that dry. There was just the annoying stringy discharge in both of my eyes. However, about a month ago I went on a trip and drove for about 6 hours from northern California to southern California and truly felt the effects of this condition. My eyes were dying to dive into a deep oasis. The drive back was quite unpleasant also, to say the least.
