I never supplemented K-7 with my D3 - what can I do now to reverse the damage done?
I took Vitamin D in moderately high dosages, around 6600 IU for many years, and developed calcification under my eyes. Only recently did I realize what was actually going on after seeing a lot of posts about D3+K synergy.
My question is, I was doing this since 2008 - so around 12 years without using any K at all. What can I do now to reverse the damage?

Since 2008 you haven't asked your doctor about this? Honestly, my reading suggests they are okay to take together but you were taking too much vitamin D, no? But 12 years ago? What has a doctor said in all this time? If you don't know, see one, ask.

To remove calcium deposits under eyes in general -- Laser therapy uses light or carbon dioxide to dissolve the calcium deposits. Iontophoresis can be used to dissolve calcium deposits as well, by using weak electric current to deliver medication directly to the calcium deposits. Even with these procedures though, calcium deposits can reoccur.
I did talk to cardiologists, primary care physicians, they all looked at it and said it wasn't of consequence. I had one doctor say the deposits were cholesterol. Then another one said they're not cholesterol, they're from rubbing my eyes. Then I went back and he said he changed his mind and said he didn't know. But I don't think they're cholesterol because they're not yellow and raised (they're flat). Here's an image of what I'm dealing with:

I should also update my original post, I was taking 10,000IU Mon-Fri (skipped weekends) which averaged out to around ~7100IU/daily. I am currently down to 5000IU but not supplementing alongside K so hoping the calcium gets directed into my bones now and not my soft tissue. I am wondering if it will reverse though, I am taking Life Extension Super K which has 100MCG MK-7.
I am supplementing with the K now so D+K (typo above)
