CAUTION - Slippery when wet!
Free at last!!!! Hi, to all my fellow sufferers of dry eyes, I know how miserable you are because I have suffered for 2 long years with this problem, I haven't felt fully awake in all that time. I sleep and wake up feeling like I haven't slept at all, because my eyes were still sleepy and dry. I have many annoying issues with my eyes and I don't even know where it all came from ( maybe chemo, don't know ) The problems I deal with are Ocular Migraines, Vitreous Detachment, Floaters, Eyelid Sensitivity to chemicals and last but not the least Dry Eyes. The ways that I dealt with my dry eyes are as follows 1. Vicks Vapo Rub - I would actually blow into the jar and leave my eyes open so that the cool vapor would hit my eyes and make them water. this was nice but only fleeting relief. 2. I've used most of the over the counter dry eye drops and they did absolutely nothing for me, some of them made my eyes feel gritty, waste of money! 3. Castor oil - I discovered that using castor oil on your eyelashes would make them grow, so I gave it a try and realized that my eyes were feeling good from the oil that got onto my eyes... this gave wonderful relief although you get a little blurry for a short time but it clears up. (Yes, my lashes were looking pretty good too) So I would put a little bit of castor oil on a Q tip and put some just on the rim of my bottom lashes for relief, but as with everything you need to limit your use of the oil or you will wind up with blocked glands from too much oil. I might also add that castor oil is one of the ingredients in the prescription drops Restasis, so it is safe for use in the eyes. 4. I purchased a lip balm called "Palma Christi" from Baar products ( Amazon sells it I'm sure) it's all natural and has a cooling peppermint flavor. I would and still do put this under my eyes for the cooling sensation, it wakes me up and I've noticed the bags under my eyes have diminished a little. 5. Started taking fish oil because of eye health benefits and I do believe it's working. So all in all I discovered that my eyes needed some kind of oil, because I learned through researching dry eyes that the cause of dry eyes is lack of oil production, which is why the castor oil felt so good. Which finally leads me to RETAINE, my search is over and relief has arrived. Do not hesitate on buying these eye drops, they are TRULY the best my eyes are feeling wonderful from using them. I use one vile 4x a day and I will keep on using them. I still have the floaters but they are more tolerable without the dryness. The secret is in the oil, Mineral Oil. The End You won't regret the money spent
