Supplements for Pterygium

Hello coco . are they gone that Pinguecula. Please let me know . I have 4 Pinguecula and o have used castor oil' ACV and lemon juice . nothing work. And yesterday I wash by my doctor and they say that I can not help you. And I see nothing . I cry everday and every day it worsed. Please let me know if you Pinguecula is gone .

Hi Khadija, God Almighty inspired me to increase my intake of fruit. I have written a review earlier today.

Truly this has worked for me, my pinguculae are shrinking and becoming paler. I increased the amount of fruit I was eating especially pakistani mangos because it is mango season.

Be aware that eating a lot of fruit when you are not used to it will give you loose bowels and possibly stomach cramps.

I have been eating one large mango in the morning on an empty stomach and another one in the evening before bed. I am also eating other fruits (oranges, cherries, strawberries, kiwis, melons).

After only two days of eating mangos I did not experience any dry red eyes even though I work at a computer all day.

It has now been a week of eating mangos and fruit everyday. My eyes are moisturised and shiny with their own good quality tears. The whites have become whiter. The blood vessels are pink now instead of angry and red. The pinguculae look less inflamed and less severe.

I was only eating a banana and a satsuma or apple a day but lots of salad, fish and vegetables. I thought my diet was healthy. This was not enough to heal my eyes. I needed more fruit especially orange coloured fruit.

Please increase your fruit intake. You should be eating so much fruit, like a whole meal should be nothing but fruit.

It worked for me, I hope it works for you.

Thanks for answer coco. But we don't have pakistan mango. Normal also good? Please let me know . thanks verry much .. god gonna change my life.

My husband won't go outside with me.

HI Coco, I to am so tired of the dry, yellowish, eyes. Its strange how the top of my eyeball, under the upper eyelid is white! The exposed and lower lid portion are yellowish and bloodshot. How do you make this vit C eyedrop?

Hi Chris (USA). I'm sorry, I only saw your question now. Buy pure L-Ascorbic Acid powder (This is pure vitamin C). I buy mine from a health food shop in the UK. 1 teaspoon of vitamin C weighs 5 grams. To make vit c solution to 5% mix 1 teaspoon with 95 mililitres of cold clean water. Put the solution in a dark glass dropper bottle (no plastic) and put it in the fridge. Every day you should use one or two eye drops in each eye. To make a solution to 10% which will sting, use 2 teaspoons (10g vit C and 90ml water). I use it for up to two weeks and then make a fresh batch. You can also use it on your skin.

But, when you increase your intake of fruit (oranges, strawberries, grapes, kiwis, melon, pineapple, mangos etc) your eyes will really thank you for it.

I eat lots of fruit and also use the eye drops. My issue is the ping now. I no longer suffer from dry, yellow eyes.

Hi, just wanted to give an update on my ping and dry eyes. Increasing my intake of fruit and vit c eye drops really helped. BUT, it turns out that I have a chronic (low level) infection in the tissues around my eyes.

I worked this out because I noticed a pattern...my eyes would feel healthy for about 1 week to 10 days and then suddenly they would become dry and sore to the point I couldn't even open them. This cycle repeated over and over again. Every time I thought they were getting better they would suddenly get worse.

I already know I have systemic candida and I found that my candida flare ups were happening at exactly the same time that my eyes would go dry. I put two and two together and realised that the mucus membranes around my eyes were infected with candida.

Once a day I started using supersaturated sea salt solution to bathe my eyes and kill the infection (other people on youtube also do this). The first few times I did this the skin around my eyes went crazy itchy. Was this die off? The skin actually became broken and lots of tiny little scabs formed between my eyes and nose. This must be where the infection was living.

Anyway, every time I thought the candida around my eyes was dead, I would stop bathing my eyes. It would be okay for a few days, and then it would come back. I think my eyes were getting infected by the candida that is in my nostrils. So now I have bought a sea salt nasal spray too.

I am trying to kill the candida in my body by eating live yogurt and taking acidophilus capsules (good bacteria).

I am using sea salt spray in my nostrils, I am bathing my eyes with sea salt solution (eyes open) but sometimes I get lazy, I am also juicing to try to get alll the nutrients from fruit and veg and using the vit c home made eye drops.

My eyes now produce tears when I yawn, like they used to when I was much younger.

If you suffer from systemic candida, you will know that it is a very long process trying to rid your body of it. I've been fighting it for 4 years so far.

When I do not have a candida flare up, my eyes generally look quite healthy and the ping appears small and not so noticeable.

When I am having a candida flare up and I have not been bathing my eyes with salt solution (through laziness), then my eyes get dry and red and the ping gets inflamed.

I would say that the flare ups are getting less frequent and not as severe.

If you suffer from dry eyes and your ping is inflamed and red, it may be because you also have a low level chronic infection like mine.

You know when it's a candida infection because you get sudden flare ups.

If it's a bacterial infection then it gradually gets worse.

Oh, I did go to see my doctor and she was very dismissive and wanted to prescribe me antibacterial eye drops. I wanted an anti fungal. She told me that to get anti fungal eye drops I have to see a specialist and she wasn't prepared to refer me.

Can you tell me the name of the doctor you used?

I had a huge pteyerigium and in the 90's there was no surgery perfected for removal. The eye doctor gave me a steroid that I took as directed, used artificial tears every day and wore sunglasses every time I was outside. Mine is completely gone and never returned. Try this before the expense. Like I said, mine was pretty big.

After the surgery it probably took about 6 weeks for the redness to disappear. Pterygium was gone. I kept taking the fish oil to keep the eye lubricated. I believe that is what made the surgery successful.
