Pinguecula

Hi Agassis,

I was wondering whether you found the natural treatment to be helpful in curing your pings. I myself am in the early stage (3rd week) and have them in both eyes.

I'd love to know whether the vitamins you mentioned have helped you.

Thanks!

Thanks for this useful information! I have pinguecula in both eyes & I just noticed another one in my left eye (temporal) since last week. Now, that area around the new pinguecula is red. I've been looking for a natural cure. When you mention wheat grass, is this is the form of supplements? Or the natural wheat grass? Blinking! I will do it more! And I will try to flush it out with lots & lots of water, drinking & washing! When you wash your eyes, you just wash it with water, right? I believe anything can be cured naturally! I just shouldn't let this depress me! Thanks again!

Thanks for the info, and the incouragement regarding, wheatgrass and praying, I have pingcuela aswell, they say that surgery is the only way, but nothing is to hard for God to cure.

There is now way this could be true. Ok, maybe your eyes stopped beeing red all the time but the pinguecula NEVER goes away whitout surgery, i feel sorry for people who read this and thinks this is true

If a Pinguecula is in the early stages of development, it can often be reversed. However, well-established Pinguecula do not respond as well to treatment.

haven't tested it yet to see for myself with a friend who has pingecula, but ginger I found on the internet is meant to reduce swelling, and I would say have the pure ginger that you can buy from supermarket, NOT as a vitamin supplement. Supplements are synthetic as I learned today from a good friend that is allergic to lots of things, Vitamin A we were talking about, that is only made by the body when it digests food. So have the right food that has lots of vitamin A and don't need any supplements at all.

What did you wash eyes with please? I would love to try your cure! Thanks for sharing:)

How can it be reversed?

I heard that it can't be reversed..

I have been reading thes posts and some of the older threads as well talking about the surgery where they remove the pings and graft a part from the upper part of the eye and use a glue (made from human blood).

No it seems to me that this is silly yet it has been done thousands of times. removing a part from the upper part of the eye and grafting it to where the ping is removed... what happens to the part of the eye where the graft comes from.... My thought is it heals. so why graft at all i thought. just remove.

My wife had lazer eye surgery to corect her vision and get rid of her glasses. the procedure she used disolved part off the clear part of her hey eye before the lazer did its thing then this part grew back with various eye drops of lubricantsw and steroids or something. she was able to see normal imediatly after the procedure. My point is that they disolved this clear part off her eye and it grew back new.

So i searched and searched cause i thought grafting was barbaric. I found a different procedure from hollywood vision called i-bryte. intended to remove redness spots excetera on this part of the eye to make your eyes whiter and brighter and it removes pinguecula and pterygium by removing the conjunctiva. Then it grows back brand new. Sounds better than grafting done ant harvard.

Has anyone else looked into this procedure ? I want to know if the process will be similar to that of lazer eye surgery.

apparently the procedure is spelled I-Brite with an I not a Y, there is a cool u-yube video that shows picks before and after too.

I had pinguecula removal surgery back in July 2012 from Dr. Gulani, so it's been 4.5 months almost. My left eye looks more white (with a couple pink veins), but my right eye has WAY MORE veins. Both eyes are dry and both eyes have a heap of conjuctival tissue folded in the corners, which is normal for the surgery. What's also normal is for veins to grow back. I didn't realize that. It's only been 4.5 months. Who knows how many veins will grow in a few months. I'd advise against the surgery considering it is $5K per eye plus 2.5K for the surgury center and then you'll keep getting $90-500 bills in the mail after that for a few months after the surgery.

I also know that people are going blind from the i-brite procedure, so DONT get that done.

Unless the tissue is covering your eye or if your eye is completely red, I wouldn't do the procedure. From experience.

Thanks for the info... First negative response i have heard for I-bryte procedure. Just to clarify... is the procedure you had done the I-bryte procedure? Or is it the one where they graft a piece from another part of the eye? Or something else?

Holy cow! I hadn't heard that I-Brite could cause blindness... I'd been thinking about the procedure for a while now. I've had pinguecula in both eyes for almost 10 years now (ugh). I visited Dr. Arun Gulani a year and a half ago... I recommend strongly against visiting his office. Just $5k per eye, huh? I was taken to a back office and told it would cost $16k per eye! AND, when I visited, I paid $200 for the eye exam, plus another $200 to have silica placed in both lower eye ducts (which I regret, as its SILICA and cannot be removed, and it didn't prevent my eyes from drying at all). If you are considering Gulani, think on what he told ME: "Don't worry about your questions. Leave it to me. I have the schooling and expertise, so you don't have to worry about any of these questions you ask. That's why you came to me". Uh huh....

I had Dr. Gulani's amniotic membrane transplant procedure done. But I heard from several doctors that the Ibrite procedure has made some people go blind. My pings are coming back, their that or more pink tissue is growing around my eye. I'd advise against the procedure all together. TRUST ME. It looks way worse afterwards.
