Mike, have made an appointment to see prof ayliffe back end of May. I'm hoping he can give me some answers, unlike most I've previously seen through the NHS. Going to see him at the Lister Hospital in London. Have gone the private route. I nearly gave up with specialists, as I've received such poor ...

Angie,
I have paid alot of cash for cat 4 wrap around glasses in the past. Now using cat 4 safety glasses, look the same & provide the same light protection, just alot cheaper than designer ones

Angie, Sorry to hear that your struggling with light at the moment. I have suffered from photophobia within my right eye now for around 5 years, since an irirtis flare. I find wearing cat 4 wraparound sunglasses both indoors & out helps me get through the day 8) I too work, part time now. I have...

yes professor Ayliffe it the specialist to see in the UK. he has several hospitals that he practices out of so go to http://www.uveitis.org PATIENT information section INTERNATIONAL specialist list for contact information and email address that you can contact him through. I know he will look for a...

http://www.goodglasses.com/jonathanpaulfitovers.html Thanks for the further info. In your opinion do you still think Prof A is the best guy in the U.K to see? I did see him at Croyden around 4 years ago & he did say at the time he would be happy for me to come back. May be worth myself giving i...

Mike, At the moment I don’t need prescription lenses to see, just the extra dark tint for the light. I will probably look into buying some custom made wraparound sunglasses. Which are not cheap, neither do the cat 4's seem to be in wrap around style. The over glasses seem a great idea, to wear over ...

Mike,
Think the link is lost.

I live in the U.K. I also have seen Dr Ayliffe at London around 4 years ago. I followed links from this website, my G.P referred me at the time. As I live within the North East part of the U.K. Dr Ayliffe based at London. Not sure if the G.P referral route is possible now. I think it is possible for...

Mike, Your right about life goes on, think i'm just starting to come to terms with it. I was 40 when I had my first & only flare (so far). Any future improvement, I shall post again. I find the dark grey tink the best to live with, also use dark brown too. Have you found any other colour tinted ...

Mike, That's interesting to know, that you still can suffer from photophobia, even when active inflammation not present. After an iritis flare. Not that I want you too. None of my previous specialists have took the time to explain that to me or even to tell me that this was a possibility. As I'm now...

Mike, Thanks for you reply. Yes I use eye drops (Hyabak), they're additive free. I also have had all my tear ducts plugged, after time they came out. Fortunately the tear canals have now blocked themselves. Surface of my eyes have been checked & seem to be OK. I use the eye drops around 4 times ...

Have not posted for a couple of years now, still looking for answers. I suffered from my first ever ititis flare, around 4.5 years ago now. I immediately became photophobic within my effected eye (right). After 6 months on pred drops, I was told that the inflammation within my affected right eye had...

I don't know anything about the drops suggested by your primary care physician. look to see what preservative is in it though. Benzylkonium chloride is used as a preservative in many topical eyedrops and it can lead to ocular allergy (me) exacerbating dry eyes etc. that's why I always suggest one u...

I hope the sunglasses help you to cope with the bright lights. and I can empathize with you! Take care, Mike Just been to see my GP, whom was very supportive. She suggested trying Sodium Cromoglicate (anti inflammatory eye drops), I will give them a try for a few weeks. I'll Hope for some improveme...

The omega 3 fatty acids can help with dry eye so keep eating your favorite food. I prefer the 'cold smoked' salmon as they are very tender much like Lox. hope you can get the photophobia under control so that you can enjoy outings again. Take care, mike Mike, Just bought myself a pair of bloc cat4 ...
