Examples of
No. 1 .Over the past three months, I was very worried about my vision. It seemed that the longer I sit at the computer, the more inflamed and tear my eyes.
I did not want to go to the doctor, because, being allergic, I'm tired of hearing the same thing: "What should I treat you with your intolerance to drugs?".Doctors understand, too, you can, but still I wanted to at least once I was advised some new drug.
In general, I stayed at home until the moment when my eyes practically stopped seeing from a half meter, tears flowed constantly, and the vessels burst almost every day. Turning to the clinic, I found out that we have a new oculist. On inspection to me have diagnosed - an inflammation.
After taking the sheet with the prescription, I immediately went to the pharmacy. I wanted to start seeing normally earlier, because the work does not wait, and it's scary to go out into the street with such eyes.
Cost, of course, I was not very pleased - for a bottle of drops of Tebodex, I gave 250 rubles. But already in a day the effect was noticeable. And literally three days later I already saw 100%, and the redness of my eyes disappeared.
No. 2 .Throughout my conscious life, I wear contact lenses, so every spring, I have chronic conjunctivitis. Since for the treatment of this ailment about a week you need to forget about the lenses, it means that the whole week from your life you can cross out. That's exactly what I had until the doctor recommended me the drug Tevodex. This agent perfectly copes with all kinds of conjunctivitis - bacterial, viral, allergic, chronic - because it is a combined drug.
I remove my lenses in the evening, I dig in two drops of medicine in each eye. When instilled, a slight burning sensation appears, but it is quite tolerable. In the morning I do the same procedure, after half an hour I put on new lenses and everything. Eyes feel great. After that, I dig in the drug for three days just before bedtime for prevention.
Doctors recommend for the time of treatment with this drug to completely abandon the use of contact lenses, but I can not. I am happy with the treatment.
