For about 1-2 years I have developed Pterygium in both of my eyes, Just a few months ago I started to really notice a change in my right eye particularly.. it got so bad I started to see a beveled piece of skin on the corner of my cornea and extreme redness from inflamed veins that always seem to make my right eye look red. I looked high 24/7 and it really affected my confidence, my want to connect to people, or make eye contact. This year especially, my eyes were constantly dry and red, even my less problematic left eye started getting bad as my right since winter time forces me to turn on the heater and dry out my eyes. This winter, my eyes were dryer than ever before, and began to look for a cure.. I really do not want surgery on my eyes, so I looked around and found Omega-3 Fatty Acid and Vitamin A.

I believe I figured out what my problem was, I was deficient in Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Vitamin A for quite a long time in my life as I do not like to eat Spinach (Vitamin A) or Seafood (Omega-3). I found this out using the Cronometer app, plugging everything I ate on a daily basis, and I was constantly deficient in these two nutrients. I decided to do research to find a food that had both of these nutrients and found Cod Liver Oil which is high in Omega-3, Vitamin A, and Vitamin D. I also found out that Spinach was very high in Vitamin A and Vitamin K. I purchased the best Cod Liver Oil I could find, I wanted a Cod Liver Oil that was un-heated and in its raw form to ensure I had quality nutrients in the most natural state, I settled with Rosita Cod Liver Oil. 5mL of this oil has about 1100 mcg of Vitamin A, 9 mcg of Vitamin D and 1293 mg of Omega-3. I decided to take 1.25mL to 2.5mL a day as I wanted to keep my Vitamin A under 900 mcgs per day since I do not want to overdue it due to hearing about side effects of too much vitamin A. I have been taking 1.25-2.5mL every day for the past 15 days and I can tell you everyday is an improvement! My ultra red-eyes are nearly gone (just a few red veins now that I can barely notice), my dry eyes are nearly gone and believe it or not but the Pterygium in my right eye looks less thick and yellow/orangish since I have been taking this oil. However, the bevel near my cornea is still there. I can say without a doubt that this oil is helping me tremendously, I feel 1000% better about my appearance and hopefully my DED (Dry Eye Disease) completely heals so I no longer have to worry about the Pterygium growing out of control anymore. I have also noticed my mind is much less foggy and much more clear after taking this Cod Liver Oil.

I am also incorporating Spinach to my diet, but I am using Cronometer to ensure that I don't overdo Vitamin A in my diet. I also notice if I stop taking Cod Liver Oil or when my diet is absent of Vitamin A and Omega 3 my eyes dry up again (I'm not making that mistake again, I'm taking this stuff everyday now).

I now believe that Dry Eye Disease and Pterygium is a deficiency symptom, as I said before, my diet did not consist of any seafood or spinach. It's either a deficiency in Omega-3 or Vitamin A I was dealing with. Now that I know, I am keeping an eye on all of my deficiencies with the Cronometer app. I am 100% grateful for Rosita, I do not trust any other Cod Liver Oil manufacturing company. I hope this helps someone who is dealing with this scary disease.
