We do already have these three threads: ... Dear Friends, it occurred to me that this new thread might be interesting and maybe valuable for some.

We do already have these three threads:

• Eyesight restored with the help of a tooth
• Holistic Meds for Eyesight, Eyedrops etc.
• DMSO for Eyes: Glaucoma, Cataracts, Strain, Vision, Retinitis and the Organ Responsible for Eye Care

But I felt that a more general thread might also be useful, as I'm aware that one or two members do have some eyesight issues, including those which may require surgery or other procedures or remedies.

I confess that I know very little about this, so I may have little to contribute. :) The only thing to add personally that may be interesting is that back in 2019 I went for a long high mountain hike under clear blue skies when the UV was literally off the scale (30 or more).

I badly burned my eyes, and was diagnosed with a serious instance of ultraviolet keratitis. I'd never heard of that before, but in lay terms this is really 'snowblindness'. I wasn't actually 'blind', but it was very uncomfortable.

The cornea has a thin protective layer over it, 6 cells thick. Mine had just completely burned off. But before it all evaporated it'd done its heroic job, and my corneas and retinas, all shielded behind it, were 100% undamaged. I'd been lucky.

All that had to happen was that layer had to regrow. I spent three painful days sitting patiently in total darkness, after which everything started to get better.

Since then I've been mindful to ALWAYS wear high-tech zero-UV mountain glasses, even when I'm outside the house under the sun for just a couple of minutes.

That regime, which is automatic for me now, seems to have protected me extremely well. I no longer have any problems at all.... and I still don't wear glasses for reading or anything else.

:fingers crossed:

Might anyone else care to share helpful stories about their own efforts to care for, protect, and heal their eyes? ]]> Health and Wellness Bill Ryan https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?131025-All-about-Eyesight
