autologos serum - game changer

Postby space_cadet » Thu 31 Mar 2022 5:28 pm

back in december via the app "Clubhouse" I found out about autologos serum drops (part of your own blood or donor is extracted to make a serum based eye drop by the blood and transplant team in liverpool) I happened to hav ea cornea clinic apt (Leeds) a few days later so enquired, I got refered as my consultant agreed nothing else has helped lets give them a whirl, I was warned due to covid etc wait times were longer than usual but be hopefully worth it.

a lovely guy from Liverpool rung me to explain all the do's n don'ts not long after, he said Id have to donate a pint of my own blood - but due to my other health stuff theyd use donor which would speed up the process significantly.

Last month I got a call to arrange delivery of the drops n reminders on how to store etc, n they drops arrived about 3 weeks ago now.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WO!!

I can open my eyes, I get eye pain now but due to having my eyes open!

I am rarely using hylo after using it as good as constnatly for years!

total game changer.

That's excellent news. Just a reminder for people who may not have seen your earlier posts on this topic, that this is solving your problem of corneal filaments which kept having to be removed. No wonder you're so excited!
