Great point! mRNA vaccines moved fast due to years of research and major funding. Nasal vaccines face unique challenges (like delivery to mucosal tissue and measuring immunity) but new tech like codon deoptimization is helping speed things up.

I understand it does feel slow, especially with such promising data. But regulatory timelines are meant to ensure safety at every step. The good news is that progress has accelerated post-pandemic, so with strong results, fast-tracking is possible. Fingers crossed we see it sooner rather than later!

Thanks for asking! CDO-7N-1 has already entered clinical trials and is showing promising results. While it’s still under evaluation, if future phases confirm safety and efficacy, it could move toward regulatory approval in the next few years. Definitely an exciting candidate to follow!

You’re very welcome! I’m glad to hear you’ll reach out to them. Wishing you all the best as you navigate your eye health journey. Remember, advocating for your care is so important, you’re doing great!

Allergy symptoms in one eye would be rare, but individual cases can vary. It might be worth consulting an eye care professional to better understand potential causes and management options. Thank you for bringing this up, eye health is such an important topic to discuss!

I wanted to share some resources that might be helpful: Diabetes UK offers guidance for managing diabetes-related complications, and RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People) provides support for eye health and vision issues. Both are great starting points!

I’m so sorry to hear about your experience, that sounds incredibly frustrating and dismissive. You deserve to feel heard and supported by your healthcare providers. Have you been able to find a professional or specialist who’s been more helpful since then?

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that omega-3s have been helpful for your dry eye. Managing Type 1 diabetes and sensitivities sounds challenging. Have you discussed your routine with an eye care professional? Would love to hear more about your journey!
