[QUOTE="Mocha, post: 12530, member: 1939"] Hi, Dry eyes are definitely liked to hormones (multiple studies available). The visual system is affected heavily by E , Thyroid hormones, and Cortisol (high Cortisol is bad for the eyes). E is incredibly beneficial for the visual system (impacts everything from the Retina to the Cornea). Low E causes major problems in the visual system, which is why any anti-E is a no-no for those with eye disorders. Plus, the vast majority of us don't need anti-E tabs / supps. The Retina in particular is damaged by the likes of Tamoxifen, Anastrozole, Clomid, etc. A fair number of studies (and OCT images) have pointed this out. How old are you? Please post your lab results. Are you Hypothyroid? Hypothyroidism leads to dry eyes as well. How long were you on Anastrozole? 1 tab per week is quite a bit and perhaps unnecessary. Eating clean, etc. is fine....but compounds like Anastrozole are extremely strong. Note that Anastrozole was designed to fight cancer -- I don't need to tell you it's a very strong and potent drug. Getting your T in place can alleviate some of the dryness. However, since you've undergone LASIK, dry eyes are something you may have to live with. The LASIK technology prior to 2013 cuts off a significant portion of the cornea (depending on how myopic you were). LASIK + Anti-E is not right. Not at all good for your eyes. Fish oil, Cod liver oil, clarified butter, coconut oil...can all help. Systane Ultra can help as well. Please get off Anastrozole immediately. I'd urge the seniors here to comment if 1/4th tab twice a week is a good idea, considering that his E is in single digits. [/QUOTE]
