I agree with you in that I'm not aware of a really good comprehensively formulated vision product available. In researching for and designing the formula for ours, I looked at a lot of available ones and remember asking myself 'why would anyone buy this?' and 'how does this even make sense?' so many times.
I have several different issues going on with my eyes - I kept getting really bad knots on my eyelids from the myobian glands getting clogged. For a lot of people, when that happens, it leads to dry eye. For me, they kept producing and it caused the eyelids to swell and get knots in them. I had to have my eyelid cut open once bc they wanted to try to drain it - turned out it was for no reason bc the spot was actually scar tissue. The worst part is the numbing medication hadn't set properly - which I tried to tell them, but they didn't believe me - until they had the eyelid sliced open and I could feel them prodding around. They're like - we're going to stop and give you another numbing injection. I was like - hell no, you're in there now, finish it bc you're not sticking another needle in me today. That's what led to my referral do Duke Eye center.
The doctors at Duke have been great - but for each eye issue, you wind up with a different specialist, which is cool, but its a lot to go through. I've had 5 IPL procedures, which is basically where they shock you around 60 times with a laser and ten squeeze your eyelids with a device that basically looks like tweezers. That sucks as bad as it sounds like, but actually helped a lot. The worst there has been 5FU injections in the eyelid - basically injecting a medication that eats scar tissue - and it hurts as much or even more than it sounds like it does. The arm on the chair in that office they do it in looks like someone has been tortured in it from people grabbing and clawing it. But, it did do a great job at dissolving the scar tissue; but I can see why a lot of people couldn't handle that procedure bc injections in eyelids hurt like hell, and the medicine going in feels like acid.
