Also, Genteal eye gel at night REALLY helped me.
Hi Bella
Thanks for this ... the thing with eye is wierd. I had an operation 10 yrs ago to remove a pterigium (a growth caused by over exposure to sunlight - it's a virus I believe). The hospital put a radioactive 'patch' on the surface of my eye to kill the virus.
To continue starving the virus I was prescribed a synthetic constrictor type eye drop. This shrank the blood vessels in my eye, stopped the redness and stopped making it feel like I had a handful of concrete in my eye. I found antazoline was also a synthetic constictor - and when mixed with naphazoline (which is what is inside most allergy drops) it produces the result I needed - on top of also keeping my eye moist. So when the RX drops ran out, I bought my other drops over the counter with no prob. Until the FDA banned them 18 months ago.
It sounds freakazoid, but to the naked eye, it's impossible to tell there is anything wrong with my eye unless/until I get tired and the redness flares up. I've tried every eye drop on the market in the US, NZ, Canada and Australia. I think the UK is the only country left which sells antazoline in their drops. I'm trying to get a friend to send me a bottle if it's allowed.
Colloidal silver seems to be the only alternative I've found which gives some relief from the radiation patch/operation thingie.
