- Dry Eye Syndrome or Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca is, simply, when you have chronically dry eyes. Accompanying symptoms would be eye irritation, redness, discharge, and eyes that get tired easily. Blurred vision can be another problem for people who suffer from Dry Eye Syndrome.

The hope for you with these exercises and acupuncture points for Dry Eyes is that you can do this instead of artificial tears or eye drops. Even though they can be good in a pinch, frequent use of these products can make your eyes drier in the long run because they can wash away your eye's natural lubricants. Be careful of eye gels, artificial tears and drops that "take the red out". Only once in a while when you really need it. Otherwise, try these eye exercises to help bring your own innate lubrication onto the surface of your eye.
A lot of these acupuncture points, which you will be massaging or putting sustained pressure on, are based on a 2010 study from Acta Ophthalmologica. This is a peer-reviewed medical journal of ophthalmology. The study is Acupuncture for Treating Dry Eye: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial. There were some positive findings in the the tear film break-up time (BUT) after 3 weeks.
Realize these were people who had chronic Dry Eye Syndrome. Many of you may have dry eyes from allergies, pregnancy, vitamin and mineral imbalances, post surgical dry eye, medications like antihistamines, antidepressants or blood pressure meds or conjunctivitis that might not have reached a chronic state. Let's see if this helps chronically dry eyes and those of you who just have an occasional or seasonal flare of irritated eyes.
You are now a study of your own body. Try this video and give it some time. Let me know how it goes. I wish I could put a guarantee on it but this going to be an adventure for both of us.

Am 79, had severe itchy eyes, kept trying new eye drops. Ophthalmologist suggested I go to a dermatologist and dismissed my desperation with a wave of his hand. 2 weeks ago I found you. The day I tried this exercise my eyes had an “oily” feeling and my eyes stopped itching, didn’t feel like sandpaper, etc and dumped the eye drops. After several years of itchiness my eyes feel reborn. It’s a miracle. I visit you every day. Thank you!!!!
That is fantastic Mary, how many times a day do you do these exercises? I have dry eye syndrome as well.
@@arymhansiethanks for the demo in lcan try also this procedure for better of my health
Martha, thank you SO MUCH for sharing your story. I'm incredibly happy that these exercises are working for you.
Yes, dry eyes are from your glands. This can be caused by fungus as well. I use eye wash, just like you would find at an emergency eye station in a lab. It's cheap, just purified water and an eye cup. This is instant relief with no chemicals.
@@arymhansie
This is incredible I had severe soreness in my neck without realizing it. For the past week I have been self diagnosing myself and the quality of my sleep. Nothing worked.
I probably keep my eyes open during sleep or have a bad pillow and my neck stiffens. This exercise gave me back some lost energy due to eye strain. Thank you so much.
There are no words to thank you for all the benefits I’ve gotten from your great exercises Dr Fields. Your wonderful energy when showing how to practice them, is an invitation to enjoy life and, definitely to get well. And yes, indeed, to really enjoy life. I’m 77, still working and trying to stay healthy. You are a blessing in my life, In my health, and I think for all who has the luck to cross your path. Blessings to you, yours, and to All, ended.
Found myself here to relieve red eyes.
Day 1 - Did this video and felt instant relief. Eyes still red though.
Day 2 - Forgot to do this video. Eyes still red.
Day 3 - Forgot to do this video. Eyes still red.
Day 4 - Did this video and felt instant relief that lasted maybe 2 minutes. Eyes still red.
Day 5 - Did this video and felt slightly less relief that lasted maybe 1 minute. Eyes still red.
Day 6 - Forgot to do this video. Eyes still red.
Day 7 - Forgot to do this video. Eyes still red.
Day 8 - Did this video and felt instant relief that lasted maybe 5-10 minutes. Eyes teared up a LOT and still red but seem less red.
Day 9 - Came here to say that my eyes have finally felt the most relief in weeks. They're still red, but not as red. They still itch and are watery, but not as watery. The itchiness is the only remaining issue that's moderate.
Day 10 - Did this video and felt minimal relief and I've had a headache for a couple hours. However, eyes are less watery and less red than when I started. Still itchy and I started using Alaway eye drops for itchiness and watery relief just yesterday. It helps with the wateriness for around 4 hours but I'm making sure to only use them twice a day.
Day 11 - Came here to day that my eyes feel 90-99% healed! I woke up with the same crusty eyes that result from the tear buildup overnight and about 30 minutes later I used Alaway eye drops for the 3rd day today. About 4-5 hours later, I now feel normal for the first time in literally all of August! My eyes are not white but they definitely feel white! The only remaining symptom I feel is the tiniest bit of wateriness in the left corner of my left eye. That is it! I will be updating for sure tomorrow because it could return.
Day 12 - Will edit and update.
Gonna note some things here that I've learned through this process...
Tip 1 - The most important tip I can give right now is simple, time! Time is in my opinion the #1 contributor to 100% healing from this eye issue, if not ALL similar issues throughout your body! Remember this and it will make dealing with it a little easier.
Tip 2 - The less you rub your eyes the better! No matter how much they itch, do NOT rub them. You can still meticulously massage them in ways shown in this video but do NOT rub them the way I know you know what I'm talking about. This is one of the most important things that has helped me.
Tip 3 - When your eyes are red and/or itchy and/or inflamed, the less you stare at monitors/TVs/devices the better! This I believe to be a major contribution to keeping your eyes red and itchy and dry. I used to think staring at displays is what caused my red, dry, itchy eyes in the first place but it's not. It is what KEEPS them red, dry, red, watery, etc, etc.
Tip 4 - The air. And everything in it. This I believe to be a major contribution to red, dry, itchy, watery eyes. There's pollen, dust, mold, pet dandruff, etc, etc in the air that gets into the eyes and causes this to happen in the first place. And when your eyes become really red and really dry, just walking around you can feel the air literally soaking up into your eyes. So imagine all the things that are in the air, everywhere you go. Even the temperature or pressure or speed of the air itself hitting your eyes causes issues.
So basically, take all these tips and do with them as you see fit and your eyes will magically start to feel better. The exercise videos like this one do help as well, just take them very seriously and massage your eyes the correct way. It does help.
@@TryMe749 Oh gosh, it's been over a year now and I've switched to iVIZIA eye drops. They don't sting as much as Alaway(this has that preservative in it so use it minimally and for allergy purposes like pollen or mold or pet dandruff), but iVIZIA doesn't have that bad preservative in it so you can use it often. Alaway feels like it's doing a lot of good things when I do use it but I've been sticking to iVIZIA and it's doing a good job. IMO the season of when winter turns to spring is when my eyes are the worst so keep that in mind too. I limit how much I use eye drops but iVIZIA is really great and can be used a good 2-6 times a day, I stick to 1-2 a day around just 2-3 times a week. My eye doctor recommends using them constantly so that your eyes stay lubricated and get back to normal.
My eye was so sore, couldn’t open it, felt like grit inside. Found your video and I cannot believe the relief after following your directions. Will be following your other videos, so glad to have found your advice. Can’t thank you enough.
That back of the neck exercise @8:23 blew my mind. I had no idea I was carrying so much tension there. Thank you so much!!
Hello
I am 52 and have had major eye trauma in both eyes over last 9 years. Retinal detachment, macular haemorrhage, victrectomies, cataract surgery, lucentis eye injections and now have dry eyes and scar tissue. I found you by accident and I am so glad I found your chanel. What a breath of fresh air and so knowledgeable. The eyes are a part of our bodies we forget to nurture and protect. We take them for granted. Not any more.... I will be doing these exercises daily now. Thank so much for sharing this information.
What an ordeal. So glad you have a positive outlook. I don't do a lot of it in the video but i would concentrate on the extraocular muscles by going between your eye and your orbit....with caution.
This is a great video! So relaxing for the eyes. Thank you, Dr. Fields.
You're most welcome! Look out for more like this ; )
Found you through your videos on TMJ-exercises a few months back. Had a bit of a flare-up with my TMJ and came back to do the exercises again. Upon finishing, this video pops up as a recommendation. I have been suffering from dry eyes since my teens and considering how well your TMJ-videos have helped me it was a no-brainer that I'd come to check this out as well. I have to say that although this is my first time trying these exercises, my eyes already feel more relaxed and not as irritated as they were just a few minutes ago. I look forward to continue to try these exercises out and see what will happen in the long term! I feel like I should spend a day going through all of your videos to see what else you can help me fix, haha. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. They are incredibly helpful! Can't recommend your videos enough!
I have read that tmjd can cause dry eyes.. If it is so... what can be done?
Incredible relief ! Love this so much , thank you Adam ! .. I woke up with dry eyes during the night and instead of reaching for the eye drops went through a few of these exerices they bought instant relief!
🎉🎉
Amazing, been suffering for so long. Vision improved, pressure gone, so helpful.
I have been doing this everyday for months now. It has been so helpful for dry eyes!
Any chance that you could do a video for eye pressure…….It would be greatly appreciated!
Do one of your other eye videos address eye pressure?
Thank you for all you do Dr Fields!
Adam, it's so kind to share this information freely with your public, it really helps the eyes so a big thank you and greetings from Switzerland.
Everyone deserves access to high quality self-care You're so welcome!
Thanks Adam for getting right to the point. It helps when we're short of time. 😃
The truth .since I’ve been doing these exercises I’m using a lot less eyedrops … and when I skip a day I can feel the difference … So now I am using these exercises faithfully I now know better not to skip.. so thank you Adam for your treatment… if I lived close to your office, I would definitely visit and get more treatments for other things
Thank you. I've had six acupuncture treatments for dry eye and my dry eyes kind of stabilized, but your exercises and pressure point massage has kicked my recovery into a higher gear. Very helpful. My eye doc wanted me to do botox therapy to relax muscles around my eye, I don't think that would be necessary now, and I didn;t like the sound of that anyway. My condition has been chronic...4 years. I'm hoping I'll continue to improve over the next few weeks. I'm doing these exercises 3 or 4 times day. Thank you again - wonderful set of videos and instruction.
Do you get tears while crying or cutting onion?
@@medhikasingh6327 Yes. An update: 7 months ago I was diagnosed with blepharaspasm (micro spasms around the eye) and I'm being treated for that with Botox injections (good for 3 months) I'm in my third 3 month period and doing much better. Need to use ocassional eye drops. Procedure is done by an ocuoplastic surgeon.
@@jugl2day2 wat about your result now ?
How to get rid of cataract with out surgery ?
These exercises are brilliant. I have been so distressed by my eye strain, but these exercises are really helping. I'll keep at them for sure! ❤
A video I didn't expect I'll be needing. I started with the TMJ videos, and now this. Thank you Dr Adams!
when binge-watching is healthy ; )
Oh boy, dear Adam, and a Merry Christmas to you ! I have nasal septum deviation and cervical spondiloartrosis and that affects my Eustachian tube and Tear duct on one side so my eye just fills up with gunk. These excercises and your spine and sinus work are doing wonders that no doc or med has been able to help... Blessings and thanks from Caracas !!
Such a joy to help you, Jim!!! Keep being wonderful
Have dry eye also since a chemical burn of permanent solution at beauty academy where had hair done. She didn’t pay attention & forgot to put gauze on forehead & left me for too long before realizing. Gave me a dry towel without knowing to flush eye. Anyway along with almost constant pain when have dry eyes causes a problem. Use natural eye drops throughout day, so these exercises helped wonderfully! Thank you so very much Dr.
These are awesome!! At 71 and having dry eye issues.Will incorporate in my self-care routine.😍
I was on my mobile last night, when I felt something pulled inside my left eye and when I looked, my eye was very red. This morning, I found you and started doing your exercises and felt relieved. Thank you.
This works! I do this first thing in the morning. I am able to stay on computer longer, watch TV longer and no longer use my useless eye drops. Also, I am able to use the ceiling fans again in my house. It took quite a bit longer for the itching to subside, but the itching is so much better. Just keep doing the exercises, it took a few days to notice a difference and each day my eyes got a little better. I have only been doing them for a few weeks and the difference is remarkable. I also take krill oil, but I don't think it makes much difference. Thank you Dr. Fields for this video!
This is miraculous. I have hardly used my eye drops since doing this once a day for a week. My eyes are so much more comfortable. Thank you so much!
A nice doctor and helpful exercises.
Just found you, thank you. I did these with you and will do them daily.
Please lower the music, it’s difficult to hear you in some parts.
In gratitude, Shirley
eye doc here.. with IRITIS :( wanting natural treatment to help myself and patients .. loved this for dry eye.Thankyou ! will share with my patients . Please share anything you may have for other eye problems.. like iritis, etc
The end of my day. As usual my eyes are burning and sore. Am going to be doing these exercises! Thank you.
Wow. Have been suffering with dry eyes for last few years. I’m 71yr old. Found your video today and honestly after 1 session my eyes felt better. Did it last night before bed and again this morning. This is my go too exercise as I can’t believe the difference in my eyes. They feel nearly normal not itchy sore and even my blurry vision has gone. Can’t thank you enough for this information. Much appreciated. Mary 🤗🤩🤗🤩
Tks Dr Fields- your exercises fir the eye strain are superb- tks a million
I’m shocked! My dry uncomfortable eyes felt so much better after this. I’ll do this more. Thanks so much.
Oh wonderful!

I STARTED DOING THIS EXERCISES FOR MY DRY EYES, AND MY EYES FEEL BETTER I HAVE A COUPLE OF TEARS IN MY EYES WHEN I WAS DOING THE EXERCISE AND PRESSURE. THIS IS AWESOME, THANK YOU DR. 👍💛♥️👊👊👊
Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm so happy for you
I just stumbled on your video from one of them off to the side over there ~~~> . I was surprised how fast and how complete my eyes loved this! I have glaucoma and this brings not just moisture to my dry eyes, but also made them feel so relaxed. Strain and stresses in my eyes are gone after one session of these exercises. I also feel this helps relieve some of the eye pressure I have. Thank you for your video Doctor Fields. My 62 year old eyes feel like they're in their 40's again!
Incredibly helpful, thanks a lot!
Wounderful really good presentation
I just made an appointment with ophthalmologist. Nurse said it sounded like dry eye. So, I am on TH-cam, looking dry eye up, and have come across your video. What do I have to lose? I just finished your exercises and am shocked how much better my eyes feel. Will do this everyday and if I still feel good, I will cancel my appointment. Thank you so much for the holistic approach. You have made my day! 🤩
Dr Adam Thank You. It's really amazing points, I cannot explain in two days I feel more better.
I was VERY surprised to find how helpful and relaxing your exercise was . I greatly appreciate it and thank you. I look forward to your other videos and it is nice to see someone providing help. I really can’t say you are in the right line of work. Thank you!
I begin my day with this brilliant exercise ❤❤❤❤ thank you, Dr Fields
Thanks a lot Dr Field. Very helpful exercises. I did it with Your video and I'm feeling better. Great job! THANK YOU.
I love your videos. I have dry eyes and I did this video and the eustacian tube disfunction video. My eyes feel better and I am unblocked. I feel a release and calmer after using the pressure point massage.
I love the sinus headache relief too. Isn't great to help yourself; it is empowering and this is something the GP's do not have time to do. This time spent on yourself with sensible and sensitive help makes all the difference. Thank you so very much. VANESSA M. uk
I'm so glad you get it! Thanks for sharing
Do you get tears while crying or cutting onion?
I tried your exercises for dry eyes and they WORKED!! Thank you so much! My eyes have so much more moisture. At the end doing the pressure points on my hand I stared crying and even more moisture. Wonderful! I have great hope for health to return to my eyes!
I think i'm posting this comment in my office. So happy for you!
Great Job!!!

You're so welcome!
I'm lucky enough to find your video here Dr. Fields. I'm suffering from dry eyes aside from glaucoma and contact dermatitis from the assortment of eye drops that I'm using. SPK became a normal feature too so I'm desperate for a cure. I've tried the exercise you've featured here and in 4 sessions, my eyes seem to open- up wider. I always have edema in my upper and lower eyelids. I'm.using Restasis, applying warm and cold compress regularly, and adding your exercise to my daily routine. Thank you very much doc.
Thank you so much that was amazing. and helpful. 🤩

Greate excersise for the eyes continue teaching
Interesting. My eyes were mostly dry throughout the exercises, but then the oils started to flow immediately after. I’ve been treating my dry eyes for 4 years now and Have tried everything but acupuncture. May have to seriously consider this after trying these acupressure exercises.
Very nice exercise
This exercise was awesome. Thank you 🌹🙏🏻🌹
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was what I needed! 😭
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! My eye pain decreased massively after taking the time to do these exercises 👐
And thank you for taking the time to answer each message. I really appreciate it!
Oh my! Wonderful news, Antonella.
How many days your dry eye decrese after do
@@hrpim9262 I don't remember, but I continued doing it for several days and also tried to stretch other parts such as neck, the jaw muscles and any kind of muscle that I felt was too tense. I realized it happened because of too much stress/tension..So I was trying to do things that made me feel more relaxed in general!
I hope you feel better soon! 👐
