Posted by Xeno on 5/12/2004, 4:30 pm, in reply to "Dry eye research" Compounding pharmacy. Have Dr. call. Chuck Leiter expert on eye drops who goes to Ophthalmologist conventions recommends 2 grams fish oil before bed. 4 Capsules, 1 gram four times per day. That's a lot of fish. Kaiser Sacramento does some things, try Mary Beth Moore, Ophthalmologist. Your eye doctor can supply you with ready-made moisture chamber glasses to wear during sleep, but a pair of ordinary watertight swim goggles will also do fine. In a pinch, says Mitchell H. Friedlaender, M.D., director of the Cornea Service at the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla, California, you can even make your own chamber by taking a piece of plastic food wrap and securing it with petroleum jelly around your eyes. As tears evaporate, the air inside the chamber becomes slightly more humid, preventing further tear evaporation and creating a comfortable, moist atmosphere. To boost the moisture content, use ocular ointments along with your moisture chamber.
