I have been taking it for 2.5 weeks now and for the past few days the uninjured eye is back to normal while the one that was damaged just feels a little dry, not sore or painful. Also, I no longer have any discomfort 'below'. No other lifestyle/diet changes so I'm guessing it is the sea buckthorn that has made the difference. FINALLY have a GP appointment booked, so hopefully will be getting some more permanent help soon, but I would definitely recommend anyone in my situation (trying to manage symptoms alone while waiting for GP help) trying this.
