I got really issues with my eyes

I'm pretty sure you can't be allergic to iodine. Intolerant, yes, but not a type I sensitivity.
i dont know what i am, but if i put it on my skin, it gets redish and itchy, if i eat it my overall allergy potential increses, my body seams to silent inflame, my guts feel bad for a day. so whatever it is, i cant have it. which is bad because i had a iodine deficiency at one time.

what can i do to rest my eyes to regenerate?

Hi @linusbert -- I seem to recall you mentioning various neck issues. A variety of eye problems can result from CCI, so you may want to consider that. One other thing you may want to consider, is the role of hyaluronic acid in eye health. Even if CCI is responsible for any given eye problems, it would make sense that ensuring the eyes are getting enough hyaluronic acid could mitigate some of those issues. Here's an AI generated blurb:

The Vital Role of Hyaluronic Acid in Eye Health
Hyaluronic acid (HA) plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal eye health and function. Its natural presence in the eye supports several important processes and structures:
  • Structural Support: Hyaluronic acid makes up approximately 95% of the vitreous fluid inside the eye, helping maintain the shape of the eyeball and supporting essential structures like the cornea and retina.
  • Moisture Retention: With its remarkable ability to bind and retain water, HA helps keep the eyes lubricated, replenishes lost fluids, absorbs shocks, and aids in nutrient transport.
  • Age-Related Decline: As we age, our body’s production of hyaluronic acid declines significantly. By age 50, the eyes can lose up to 50% of their ability to produce HA, often leading to dryness, sensitivity, and vision disturbances.
  • Eye Drops and Relief: Hyaluronic acid-based eye drops offer longer-lasting hydration and protection due to their viscous nature. They are especially effective in managing dry eye symptoms caused by aging, environmental stressors, or digital strain.
  • Clinical Benefits: Research has shown that HA improves tear film stability and significantly reduces the discomfort associated with dry eyes.
In Summary: Hyaluronic acid is essential for maintaining eye lubrication, moisture balance, structural integrity, and overall ocular health—especially important as the body's natural production decreases with age.

Hyaluronic Acid Also Supports Joint Health
Beyond eye care, hyaluronic acid is also widely used in the treatment of joint pain—particularly knee osteoarthritis. When injected directly into the knee joint, HA acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, improving mobility and reducing pain. These injections, often referred to as viscosupplementation, can be a valuable option for individuals with arthritis or chronic knee discomfort, especially when oral medications or physical therapy alone aren’t sufficient. Many patients report significant relief and increased range of motion following a series of treatments.

thanks Wayne , i fear for this relation especially as it seams related to neck posture and how i sleep, if i sleep.
but it also seams exhaustion related because when i do much gaming on pc i can feel it getting worse.

hyaluronic acid i have for eye drops , but i am not sure yet if they change anything.

glad you clarified, because AI translated it to "Chronic cerebral ischemia" (CCI). and that one spooked me off quite hard.

Chronic Cerebral Ischemia:
Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) can lead to several eye problems due to its impact on the brain’s visual pathways and ocular blood flow. The following are key categories of eye-related issues associated with CCI:




1. Visual Field Defects


  • Homonymous hemianopia: Loss of the same side of the visual field in both eyes due to damage in the occipital lobe or optic radiation.
  • Quadrantanopia: Partial field defects, depending on lesion location in visual pathways.



2. Cortical Visual Impairment


  • Reduced visual acuity or visual processing despite normal ocular structures.
  • Caused by ischemic damage in the occipital cortex or parietal/temporal visual association areas.



3. Oculomotor Dysfunction


  • Gaze palsies: Difficulty in moving eyes voluntarily due to brainstem ischemia.
  • Nystagmus: Involuntary eye movements if the vestibular system or cerebellum is involved.
  • Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO): Lesions in the medial longitudinal fasciculus can impair horizontal eye coordination.



4. Retinal and Optic Nerve Ischemia


  • CCI may co-exist with systemic vascular disease affecting the retina:
    • Retinal artery occlusion
    • Ischemic optic neuropathy: Sudden or gradual vision loss due to optic nerve infarction.



5. Transient Visual Disturbances


  • Episodes of blurred vision, dimming, or amaurosis fugax (temporary monocular blindness) related to transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) from CCI.



6. Visual Neglect and Agnosia


  • Typically from right parietal or occipital lesions.
  • Patients may ignore stimuli on one side of space or fail to recognize visual objects.



7. Reduced Contrast Sensitivity and Visual Perception


  • Subtle deficits in visual clarity and spatial interpretation due to diffuse cortical dysfunction.



8. Papilledema (Rare)


  • If CCI leads to raised intracranial pressure (e.g., venous ischemia or large infarcts), optic disc swelling may occur.



Management includes control of vascular risk factors, neuro-ophthalmologic assessment, and sometimes visual rehabilitation.


Cranial Cervical Instability:
Below is a list of eye symptoms and problems associated with Cranial Cervical Instability (CCI):




1. Visual Disturbances


  • Blurred vision
  • Double vision (diplopia)
  • Ghosting or image trailing
  • Photophobia (sensitivity to light)
  • Difficulty focusing or shifting focus
  • Worsening vision with neck movement or upright posture



2. Nystagmus


  • Involuntary, rhythmic eye movements caused by brainstem or vestibular pathway involvement due to mechanical instability or compression.



3. Oscillopsia


  • Sensation that the visual world is moving or bouncing, often due to impaired vestibulo-ocular reflexes from instability affecting the brainstem.



4. Eye Pain or Pressure


  • Due to muscular strain or referred pain from upper cervical muscles or nerves.



5. Pupillary Abnormalities


  • Anisocoria (unequal pupils) or sluggish pupillary responses may occur due to autonomic dysfunction (especially if the vagus nerve or sympathetic chain is involved).



6. Visual Snow or Static


  • Rare but reported; may be due to cortical hyperexcitability or altered sensory processing secondary to brainstem dysfunction.



7. Transient Visual Blackouts


  • Often postural, related to compression of the vertebral arteries or impaired cerebral perfusion during neck movement.



8. Visual Vertigo or Motion Sensitivity


  • Visual input becomes difficult to process, especially in motion-rich environments, due to cerebellar/vestibular compromise.



Mechanisms Involved:​


  • Mechanical compression of brainstem, cranial nerves (especially CN III, IV, VI), or vertebral arteries.
  • Instability-induced dysautonomia, affecting ocular motor control.
  • Tethering or traction on neural structures due to ligament laxity (e.g., in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome).



Imaging and Diagnosis:​


  • Dynamic MRI or CT of the cranio-cervical junction
  • Assessment of clivo-axial angle, Grabb-Oakes measurement, etc.

both eye doctors who saw me, told me to get chelated. The implication is my eye troubles were toxins.

From the info above, I deal mostly with:

1. (I saw double for 24 hours once)
4.
5.....I strongly suspect pupils do not adjust correctly
8....

i cannot believe you actually got a doctor who came up with something which makes more sense than psychosomatic stuff. in germany everything is psycho or migraine. of course they know this without doing the required diagnostics.

how did you chelate and did it actually solve it?
