Improved Eyesight
In June 20 2007, I went to the see if I needed bi-focals as the readers I was using were not strong enough…I seemed to have a problem seeing clearly with my left eye…so I thought I just needed a prescription distance and reading glasses…The Dr. after examining me said that I should see a specialist as he thought there was something going on in the left eye…
On June 25,2007 I went to a specialist, Dr. Hessburg at Henry Ford Eye Care Specialist in Grosse Pointe and the diagnosis was, Epiretinal Membrane Macula Traction ,left eye..the vision was 20/200. I did not have Macula Degeneration or Cataracts or Glaucoma…the way it was explained that as we age the vitreous gel on the eye pulls away and we get floaters etc…some of the cells create a thin film and in my case landed on the center vision of the macula..It is sometimes called a “macular pucker”..
He said it would not get worse OR better..He did say they could do a surgical procedure, called vitrectomy and surgically peel the membrane but said it was a very intricate procedure and not always successful..
Since I am not a fan of surgery, I chose to carry on with limited vision in that eye..the only problem I had was a blurred section but could still see but had to keep my right eye open when I put on mascara etc on left eye because of blurred center vision.
Aug 07,when Vitalizer came out at the conference I added it to my already huge list of Shaklee supplements.( I was on the Landmark study) also increased my OmegaGuard to 6/daily along with what I was getting in the Vitalizer.
Got another checkup with specialist 1/08 and there was a slight improvement. 20/100
Saw him again on 5/20-08 and was 20/70
Started on Shaklee Vivix on 8-08-08. I then had a recheck on 10/02/08 and at his amazment it was 20/45
He was so curious that he examined me several times to recheck to see if there was an error in the figures…
this was amazing as it was less than 2 months on Vivix.
I told the Dr. what I was taking and he seemed interested but is still amazed that this has happened when he told me it would NOT get better..I asked him how he could explain the improvement and he did not know…But those of us who use Shaklee know…
I also went down 2 corrections in that eye and one in right when I went for a recent eye glass purchase.
