Ingrown Eyelash and Eye Irritation

Dear Bioptron team,

In 1997 I went to our G.P. to have my right lower eyelid looked at, it was very inflamed, our doctor explained that I had an ingrown eyelash. Our doctor then promptly operated on the inside of the eyelid to remove the offending material.

The small but very painful operation wasn't what the doctor had ordered. and so over time, I learned to live with eyelashes that seemed to want to grow inwards, that gave me constant eyeball irritation and vision problems.

I eventually made an appointment with an eye specialist who remarked on my excellent vision and explained the irritation as an overactive oil gland in the eyelid trying to deal with an infection.

The remedy was a hot cloth and baby shampoo for cleaning, and there was a high possibility that the infection could grumble away forever and that I must keep up with the treatment.

He was right and I put up with this until recently when I discovered the Bioptron light from Jan and Graham Inger.

After one 4-minute session on the right eye, there was instant relief so I purchased the light.

Two weeks down the line using the Bioptron light twice a day 4 minutes on each side, I am practically cured, I now have no irritation at all and my eye as people remark looks the same as my left eye.

The recommendation for treatment on my eyes is for another two weeks to be sure of complete healing due to the longevity of the problem.

Since the Bioptron has been in our household the complete family is on to it, including my six and eight year olds, the use of the light is very simple and is permanently set up making it a first choice for everyone.

Thank you Jan and Graham for the introduction to the Bioptron light.
