My concern is all the young children under the age of 15 with severe dry eye and meibomian gland atrophy in part due to excessive screen time. What will become of them? Why are the schools not banning screens? How can we quickly get this news spread to all schools globally?
Our Stem Cell protocol for the use to restore the meibomian glands, lacrimal gland, and mucin gland has begun thanks to a very generous donor who has contributed to our research.
We will be following patients to see if we can prove or disprove with the relatively objective test of Meibography to see if autologous stem cells work or not.
The message for everyone, is "Do not ignore your eye symptoms. Get a meibography and eyeMD check if you have any redness, tearing, burning, irritation, foreign body sensation, pain."
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI am 22 , male, and diagnosed with chronic dry eye this past summer. I’ve had symptoms for years but doctors never caught it. It was only contact lens intolerance until it got worse and now , tearing , pain blurry vision etc. I have plugs, on xiidra and lipiflow twice. I’m going to duke eye but they can’t do anything else. I’m still in college graduating 2020 but how am I going to be a productive worker like this?
Is ther hope if I came to you? Perhaps trying prp or stem cells? Are there risks? How much is it as I can already barely afford duke eye.
