Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Supposedly if the mom has a venereal disease the baby can contract it in the eyes through the birth canal and go blind. So the eye drops are supposed to protect baby from mom's VD. And these are mandatory?????????What if mum never had VD??????!!What next, maybe tie babies up at birth so they don't scratch themselves, in case some rare germ. Sheesh!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Sherm: I have had good luck with Voltaran drops, they are non-steroidal. Methotrexate however finally kicked my worst bout of uveitis. Hope that helps. Kathy from WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Sherm, I can no longer take steroid drops for my eyes as it causes the inner-eye pressure to increase. I have been given the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drops which have given little immediate relief to my eyes. I'll use them, but it seems they do very little to shorten any flareup. The steroid drops were a miracle for me. It took me years to adjust to not being able to use them. There was always a temptation to use them anyway when the inflammation got really bad. I finally threw the old bottle away and decided long-term vision was more important than short-term relief. Ray Neal, moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Thanks, I do take lots of healthy oils already. It could be peri-menopause, but I have had this condition for many years now.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I think I may have to do this also. I've never had any problems with my eyes. Now I find my left eye gets extremely teary, painful, very red, eyelid swollen and after finally getting diagnosed by eye dr. as irritation to cornea he told me to put eye drops for dry eyes. This really helps. My eye does this now at least once a week. Lou From: fritolay66 <fritolay66@...>Subject: Eye Dropsbird mites Date: Monday, July 21, 2008, 1:39 PM We have talked about our eyes being affected. I didn't start having problems with my eyes being attacked until I stopped using eye drops. I have recently started up again, and am experiencing a decrease in eye attacks. I included a few examples of leadingf eye drops for redness and you can see that most of them contain a derivative of salt. Chloride. I also found the inactive ingredients quite interesting as well. Some contain Benzalkonium chloride, known for anti parasite activity, and sodium chloride, salt. I have used the original Visine, Visine AC, and the Clear Eyes AC. I have had good luck with all three, although I prefer Clear Eyes AC, but couldn't tell you why. Feels better? I have 20/30 vision, never worn glasses. I have used eye drops most of my life until developing the crap the birdmites left me. I don't have a problem with tearing, and the rebounding redness was short lived when I stopped. It also seems to help me flush out my tear ducts. I don't know if some of you would be interested in using, but I thought I would share a small part of what seems to be really working for my eyeballs.... ...Frito Currently, Visine is formulated in several varieties: The active ingredients in the Original Visine formulation are potassium chloride and tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride. VISINE A.C. - Astringent/Redness Reliever Eye Drops (Tetrahydrozoline HCl 0.05%, Zinc sulfate 0.25%) Special formula for allergens, such as ragweed, dust, or pollen. VISINE FOR CONTACTS - For Silicone Hydrogel and Hydrophilic lenses Used primarily for comfort during the day, moistening upon awakening and before sleep. VISINE L.R. (Oxymetazoline HCI 0.025%) A longer-lasting formula that lasts for up to 6 hours. VISINE TEARS (Glycerin 0.2%, Hypromellose 0.2%, Polyethylene glycol 400 1% - Used AS NEEDED) Contains ingredients found in natural tears instead of chemicals. VISINE-A (Formerly OCUHIST) (Naphazoline hydrochloride 0.025%, Pheniraminemaleate 0.3%) Antihistamine combined with a vasodilator for itchy eyes associated with allergy. Clear Eyes Allergy-A Formula (Naphazoline Hydrochloride 0.012% w/v, Zinc Sulfate 0.25% w/v, Glycerin 0.2% w/v) Inactive Ingredients: Benzalkonium Chloride, Boric acid, Edatate Disodium, Purified Water, Sodium Chloride, Soduim Citrate.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Atropine is one of the kinds of eye drops used to dilate eyes. The following website says it does not contain thimerosal but also says not to be used for those under 6 yrs. old. http://www.adcock.co.za/Resources/ProductDocs/Atropine%20Eye%20Drops1.pdf Homatropine's another which is often used. It also does not contain thimerosal but says may cause unusual side effects in children. http://www.drugs.com/mtm/homatropine-ophthalmic.html S S ------------------------------------------------------------ Tail Lights Light up your life with great prices on a huge selection of tail lights. http://tagline.excite.com/fc/JkJQPTgKEPHg3TndkT4VIdvmYpcPtjdZfyBSZZiWMrrNW4ESixb\ bLy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Also keep in mind just because something says it does not contain thimerosol, does not automatically mean it is mercury free. There are plenty of other compounds they use that include mercury. Keep an out out for any of the terms that include things like mercuric, mercurial, even just mer...... something, etc Sometimes they even invent a whole new " term " , which is listed on the contents, but the actually ingredients of what is contained in in that item are not disclosed.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 , Similasan makes Piknk Eye RElief which works perfectly, better than any prescription drops and it is homeopathic. Found out that visine and those actually cause the body to PERMANENTLY dialate those blood vessels, with an ingredient that is in many eye drops. So you might find out the ingredient next time you are in the store, then talk to the pharmacist about what it effect it causes, then read the warning inserts.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I don't use similasan because their eye drops contain silver, and Andy says not to use products containing silver. He recommended we try high vitamin containing eye drops called viva drops from life extension foundation. I called to order them but they may not be carried there anymore. They are made by vision pharmasuticals. I have ordered four bottles and they are trying to get some for me. I have been using refresh eyedrops on my children, but I would love to find something better. I looked at eyedrop ingredients for hours this week and that is the best I could find locally. We used atropine in the past with our daughter to prevent blindness. In my mind, blindness trumps mercury damage because if you happen to have to take a drop containing mercury for a short time to preserve your vision, you can always chelate it out later. Plus, our daughters atropine did not contain mercury, we checked first, but even if it did, we would ask for an alternative, but if there wasn't one we would take it. This fear of eyedrops in the autism community really bugs me because 80% of parents don't get their children's eyes examined anyway. The proper way is with dialation and a slit lamp by a opthomologist, not optomitrist. There could be a higher amount of siblings of autistic children who have eye diseases. In the little forum i belong to for uveitis (vision threatening eye disease my daughter has), five siblings have autism. That sounds like too much of a coinsidence, so please get your child's eyes examined regularly. They have mercury free eyedrops at the eye doctor. You just have to ask for them. Which ingredient in visine permanantely dialates blood vessels? I would like to know to avoid that ingredient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I use Visine-A.
