Indeed, the idea of "informed consent" is complete non-sense because the layperson will have no way to understand what the potential consequences entail - and personally I was lied to multiple times by LASIK before getting the procedure done.

I am bound to my glasses I loath but at least can barely stand to wear contacts to go out once a week due to my diligent eye treatments. I would love to do lasik! But any potential worsening of my dry eyes is not worth it. I would still sacrifice my whole fortune to have healthy eyes again. (to be clear: I did not have lasik, but I probably suffer from permanent isotretinoin damage)

  I developed severe dry eyes, light sensitivity, halos, and migraines as a result of corticosteroids. But I was able to reverse a majority of it and continue to do after learning Tribulus upregulates androgen receptors in the brain, which seems to control the aqueous liquid in our eyes. I'm not sure what Vitamin A does to the body. From a cursory glance, it seems to affect skin androgen receptors, which would explain why it affected your eyes but if it has a similar affect, you might want to consider Tribulus. Start off with a low dosage. Say 1 pill daily for a week, then taper off. On and off for a few months.

    To be more precise, androgens (especially DHT) suppress inflammation in the meibomian glands. I strongly recommend dissolving an oral pill of hyaluronic acid twice daily -do not swallow the pill whole, it won‘t dissolve and you will shit a tiny gelatine egg. Besides that eye heating masks and lid-hygiene (e.g. blephacura) do wonders. As for AR expression, I believe L-Carnitin should also improve it. Creatine should increase DHT. But I am afraid to haphazardly increase my androgens or receptor expression because of my AGA.

      Interesting. I already take hyaluronic acid for my gum disease. But I’m not sure you understand. My dry eyes are basically gone. And it’s only been a few months. Every time I take the treatment it gets better. Not just that but the lights sensitivity, glares, and migraines are basically down to 10%. I understand the hesitation however. I hope you continue to improve.

        It does sound interesting (I also suffer from light sensitivity and glares, in winter it’s especially bad) and I will give us n=2, what‘s your dosage of TT? You just take it a week and feel better? I can try that much. But oral hyaluronic acid should truly be a, no, the first line treatment for dry eye and many eye doctors don‘t even knowing about it is another medical tragedy.
