I've had more eye surgery than you've had hot dinners, on my right eye, including a cataract removal, 2 corneal grafts a barveldt shunt. Loads. Cataract surgery these days is routine through a needle and should be minimally disruptive.

Do you use a good lubricating drop or artificial tears like celluvisc?

I have epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD) with one extremely painful episode in my left eye about eight years ago, before my PD diagnosis that landed me in the ER, treated with antibiotic eye drops. No problem since using otc eye drops twice daily, staying hydrated and avoiding ceiling fans. Last year I had cataract surgery on both eyes with no problems. Best to consult with your MDS and primary prior to surgery. The eye surgeon will probably require that you provide a thorough medical history and medication list.

I am sorry for your suffering. I've been educating and sharing a Patented Technology that heals at the cellular level. Eyes are made of cells, right???

Here's a little from a testimonial of using this product. "I HAD dry eye since 1996. I have seen the best of the best from Duke to the U of Miami. Nothing worked until August 2018.

I used everything for my eyes: plugs, goggles at night, cauterization, hot compresses, fish oil, humidifier, no sugar, gluten free, dairy free, drops, $1600 procedures, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, detox, etc... I was known for corneal abrasions at least every month from the dry eye.

December 2018 appt. my vision had improved from 20/30 to 20/20 and that I did not need any manual expressions.......NO expensive procedures and he released me for 1 year!!!

Presently it has been 7 months and I no longer have the severe pain at night or during the day.....No corneal abrasions and use minimal eye drops.........IT ONLY GETS BETTER FROM HERE. "

And another, "About 10 years ago or more, I had severe dry eye. My eye doctor suggested putting some kind of stent (?) in my eye ducks and of course I was reluctant to any kind of surgery. Months later when I went back to the eye doctor my vision had improved, I no longer had dry eye issues and my floaters were gone."

Feel free to email me. I believe there is Hope & Healing for you too!

Kindly~
