Cosmetic Eye Whitening, looks pretty impressive. Its nice to know there are options out there, something else to fall back on in case nothing else works.
I was diagnosed with blepharitis 5 years ago when I was 21. I think I got the problem from using Accutane for acne when I was 19. To reduce the redness, I used Visine quite a lot, but when I found that Visine just makes the problem worse permanently, I stopped using it. Over the years I have tried so many things eg omega3,6 (TheraTears Nutrition), ginseng, ginkgo biloba, euphrasia eyedrops, flaxseed, bilberry, artificial tear drops, eyebright, scrubbing the eye lids with TheraTears Sterilid (this helped a lot).
I never suffered from pain or discomfort like many people do. But I did have a lot of trouble trying to get my eyes to look clear again. They would always look red, sometimes bloodshot, vessels always visible.
A year ago a friend showed me a fruit/antioxidant health drink, MonaVie. Since then my eyes have looked so much clearer than any other products I tried. The anti-inflammatory properties helped me with inflamed blood vessels. I was taking many different supplements at one stage, now I just take the one product. I find I dont even have to worry about using SteriLid anymore. I just have to make sure I get good sleep, drink water, take this drink and thats it. I�ve still got the veins/vessels in the eyes though but they are nowhere near as visible as they were.
I'm also very interested in the surgery you mentioned. If it became available closer to New Zealand, I would seriously consider it after hearing more from other patients. In the meantime, I will use Monavie to help alleviate the redness.
Everyone�s bodies are different of course. I hope you find some method or product that you're happy with for your red eyes.
