Avatar m tn Because you are asking about hyaluronic acid, and because of the recent addition of GAG's to pharmacy shelves, I think it's important to address a few points about the uses of these compounds therapeutically. On the up side, hyaluronic acid is the same from whatever source it is isolated, and it is so common in the body that it can be used as a hypoallergenic surgical material for reconstructing and building up tissues that are lost.
Avatar m tn Could it cause vision problems, I have seen that the main ingredient of restylane is Hyaluronic acid, I have found a topical cream that is 75% hyaluronic acid, I know this wont work as well but do you think this is an option or not even worth spending hte money on the cream. Any comments or experiences would be great.
Avatar f tn Hello, I went to the doctor to have a filler injected into the eyes dark circles area, the syringe with the gel (hyaluronic acid) was not new, I know because he took it out of a box but the blister was not sealed, I also saw that the gel in the syringe was not completely full, I saw that he took a needle with a cover from the blister, so I think the needle was new, and he placed it on the tip of the syringe with gel, I am worried that the gel (hyaluronic acid) has been contaminated with the bloo
Avatar m tn Can somebody from the old school on this hep.
Avatar n tn I have tried Olay regenerist, ROC and Garnier Nutritionist and currently seen ad for Hydroxatone that contains matrixly 3000, argireline and hyaluronic acid and is there anything you can recommend I use that can help minimize the wrinkles while adding collagen and elasticity to my skin. I am tired of products that offer a lot but delivers nothing. I want a product I can stick to. SO PLEASE what would you recommend I buy and how should I use it.
Avatar m tn This has been treated with ultrasound, condroitin sulphate pills for three months, anti-inflammatory drugs on and off, and an insole. The pain when I walk is still there and at times intense. I have two questions: 1. Several physicians have propose hyaluronic acid or cortisone injections. Which is recommended? 2. One physician offered to perform a chondral transplant, consisting in taking fresh chartilage from my knee and implanting it in the toe, with arthroscopic surgery.
Avatar n tn 1) Vitrectomy --complete removal of the vitreous humor and replacement with a saline like solution. (Very prone to complications/infections and generally not something that would be performed without an absolute positive need. ) Which in your case any surgeon in a proper frame of mind would refuse to do this on the subjective reports of the patient without any objective evidence. Make sense?
Avatar n tn Check into MSM, along with the glucosamine and hyaluronic acid. No chondroitin?
Avatar n tn Use the search feature and archives to read about posterior vitreous detachments and retinal detachment and cataract surgery complication.
Avatar f tn This produces an image of the vitreous and retina, sometimes white spots against black or vice versa and sometimes red hues too. This is normal. Rarely this is due to inflammation. Most floaters never completely disappear. There is no medicine or eye drop that can really cure this. Please consult an eye specialist for this. All this can naturally precipitate anxiety. Please consult your PCP for primary examination (blood tests to rule out anemia etc). Take care!
Avatar m tn The saline is eventually reabsorbed and the vitreous cavity is filled with with a mixture of vitreous gel, liquid vitreous and acqeous humor. Under the ILM is the nerve fiber layer and it must be protected. Hopefully the surface will not have more tissue grow over it because that can cause another ERM, macular pucker and macular hole.
Avatar m tn s IOP is maintained by the production of aqueous humor by the ciliary body and out flow through the trabecular meshwork. IOP can be low by decreased production by the ciliary body and a possibility in your case may be a ciliary body detachment. Or increased outflow due to a cylcodialysis clef. Dr. O.
Avatar f tn While pregnant do stay away from retinols which are anti aging. They can cause birth defects. But look for something that has hyaluronic acid in it which is a natural chemical our body makes which helps retains moisture by 1000x its weight. So it is super hydrating which will help reduce and prevent wrinkles.
Avatar m tn After a couple of ACL surgeries over the years due to sports injuries and regular knee pain ever since when exercising, descending stairs etc., I was looking into the option of a combined hyaluronic acid/PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection - about which I'd heard great things - until I realised I didn't want to take the risk after the two half-botched operations I'd had done years ago. So I decided to simply take hyaluronic acid orally on the off-chance, and have had no pain since.
Avatar m tn ve had my eyes dialated twice and in both cases (one with an optometrist and one with a opthamologist) I was told everything looked fine and that my floaters was due to aging as well. The MD did a very thorough examThe reason I made the connection was that hyaluronic acid seems to be involved in both cases so I was curious if there is a connection. If you don't mind me asking, why would joint inflammation be a cause of concerns for floaters...?
Avatar n tn Genigel, the new treatment, contains hyaluronic acid - a sub-stance found in the connective tissues of the body. When applied to gums, it provides a sticky film in which new cells and blood vessels can grow." "A week later, the teeth began to firm up. A month later, I could chew on them. The gel has actually made my gums grow back, which is something no amount of brushing or anti-bacterial mouthwashes could ever do.
Avatar n tn s have to leave the oil in the eye is because the shape of the cornea is partly determined by the pressure of the vitrous and aqueous humor (fluid) in the eye that is naturally there. I heard that vitreous humor does not regrow (the fluid) so that the oil substance is there to help replace the humors and maintain the shape of the eyeball.
Avatar m tn You may want to try eye drops with a higher amounts of hyaluronic acid which acts as a lubricant. Here is an article which has some information on brands that have higher amounts of it. https://www.drmikeng.com/new-blog/2020/3/4/comparing-preservative-free-eye-drop-products-in-canada Some put a drop on the contact before putting it in your eye.
Avatar m tn they are working on a medicine that will cause 100% vitreous syneresis and its a good thing as it will eventually reduce the risk of retinal detachment and proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Avatar f tn I was told to wait for one week and come back and would probably have to have another vitrectomy. My eye pressure is very high and was told it was due to the blood in the vitreous. Does vitreous hemorrhage increase the risk of retinal detachment? Also the retina specialist says he cannot see in the eye any better than I can see out, so we do not know if optic nerve has been damaged. Since pressure is incresing is it likely to do damage to optic nerve that we can't see?
Avatar n tn Not much a doctor can do - x rays - no treatment except pain meds. You might try getting some MSM and Hyaluronic acid from the health food store. Only thing that can heal cartilage. Don't horse around like that anymore. If your rib broke just messing around - think what could happen next time!! Take care of yourself. - Also take some vitamins to build your bones and body. Good health to you...
Avatar m tn (Only light and dark) They checked out my eye that same morning and determined that my retina was fine, but that a vessel had hemorrhaged into the vitreous humor causing my lose of sight. They told me to go home and come back in 5 days. What I need to know is what can be done to regain my vision and I should be doing to help this situation? Also, if this is common problem with vitrectomy?
