Stem Cell Use for Dry Eye

Today I saw another patient in her 20's who has had to quit her job because she cannot stand to look at screens. She was a computer programmer working 10hr days in front of some form of electronic screen. This is the 15th patient under the age of 30 who has quit a job because of chronic eye pain. This is unheard of in the eye surgical world. Quitting your job because of eye pain has not been published as far as a I know.

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."
