Hi ladies,
I do suffer with dry eyes generally, always have wetting drops or gel on hand.
I was very settled on three pumps of ‘amber’ oestrogel but had been experiencing some return of symptoms when using the ‘green’ gel.
I upped my dose to three and a half pumps when using green and then gradually increased to four pumps and I felt pretty good on this dose.
However whilst on four pumps (green) as the day went on my eyes would become more sore to the point where I felt it was just easier to have an early night and give them a rest.
I have now just started a bottle of amber and so have reduced down to three pumps, I have the odd flush at nighttime creeping in (I can cope with that) but my eyes feel a bit better….
So as we know it’s all a very fine balancing act of which symptoms we can live with etc as well as balancing the whole green/amber problem but I just wondered if it was a known issue that too much Oestrogen can cause sore dry eyes? Or was it a coincidence. Was I possibly having too much on four pumps of green?
I’m just curious as my eyes are feeling much better. I think i will stick with three and a half pumps when on green, three of amber….
Just wondered if anyone else suffered with dry eye issues?
Thanks
