I had a feeling that the heat + pressure on the eyeball can't be good for the cornea, but other doctors told me that the blurriness is just caused by the excess oils. I always suspected it was something more, though
I live in the UK and after years of sore and watery eyes, I resorted to a procedure called Lipiflow. It basically unclogs the meibomian glands. That was 13 months ago and my eyes are just starting to get dry again. Lipiflow lasts 12 to 18 months, I'm told. It cost me £800 but I have to say it was worth every penny.
I just bought the Tranquileyes XL. The heat packets didn't fit precisely and so I could never get them to seat evenly and close enough to my eyes. More importantly, they were only lukewarm. My thermometer gun measured no more than 90F. I returned them.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, doctor! I’ve also been wanting to get the tear restore mask, and I look forward to watching your video on it. I hope you could also talk about if the heat it provides is moist heat or dry heat;)
I have very dry eyes and have had two corneal transplants in my late teens I am 47 now. I use natural tears and restates eye drops. Hot cloth compresses help but affects don’t last. Also for the last month my eye lids have start twitching. I did a cloth hot on eyelids and it helped but in a minute or so the twitching came back. What is the best compress for me?
Someone says that TearRestore isn't effective like a standard warm compress that covers the eye too, but the standard one puts too much pressure. So a solution💡 would be to create two spaces for the eyes by sewing🧵🥽 the standard mask so that the mask will keep covering the eyes, but without putting too much pressure. What do you think?
I have one warm compress eye mask "ThermalON". But I feel the mask a bit heavy on my eyes. Should the mask be this heavy? will this increase my IOP if used daily? I am a bit worried about it.
Have you tried the RENPHO mask? If so, does it reach the right temperature and is there a risk to the eyes? I would greatly appreciate if you could give me your opinion. Thanks!
Hello sir. I don't know if I have dry eyes. About a month ago my eyes started burning all the time and stinging. Especially while at work on my computer. I went to eye doctor and they said my eyes look healthy and it's possibly dry eyes and gave me eye drops. The eye drops change nothing and I feel like my burning and itchy eyes is making me crazy and making work and play hard. You think this could be dry eyes (since eye doctor was able to see nothing wrong)? And would I benefit from buying these products?
Yes, it's definitely a possibility it could be dry eyes. I would let your doctor know that you aren't having any relief with the eye drops you are trying. It's possible the warm compresses could help, you just want to check in with your doctor to make sure.
@@DrEyeGuy appreciate it. Makes it hard cause in 31 years I never been to eye doctor cause I never had issues. 2 weeks ago was first time ever and it just seemed like idk how to explain to the Dr that I don't feel ok. And they just scanned my eyes and said "looks good" pretty much
@@godelneumann3932 my dry eye went away after half a year. Not sure how it fixed but I was eating healthy daily and taking fish oil tablets But also the mask did nothing for me
My mother has severe pain.This has been going on for years.Nobody knows why.She’s been to about 6 eye specialists.She does not have dry eye .One dr.thought it was a neuropathy problem.But no answer.Any ideas
Thank you. How long does it take to get the oil out of the ducts? Weeks or months? Or am I supposed to do it every day for the rest of my life? I have one on the upper lid and one on the lower lid. On right eye.
@@DrEyeGuy Thanks for replying! It’s blocked oil glands. My doctor saw them during a checkup and suggested that I use warm compresses. Would it take a few weeks to get them out by using warm compresses? I really appreciate your expertise.
What do you think about using a face steamer instead of warm compresses. I tried it and seems to be ok. It’s warmer than the compress and it’s moist and your steaming your face as well. I use it a couple times a day and so far seems ok. But do you think steam can be harmful to eyes although my eyes are closed?
This is the only one..... I have some dry eye and blepharitis videos where I talk about warm compresses as a treatment. Is that what you are thinking of maybe?
What warm compress has worked the best for you?
Blephasteam! But it might not be available in the US...
I'm working on getting my hands on one of these. I want to try it really bad.
Is it safe to use homemade heatpacks like rice ones as a warm compress?
Yes it is, just make sure it doesn't get too hot.
That sounds awesome, I'll have to check that one out.
Your energy and effort in your videos are so consistent and genuine! Love your work !
Thank you! It takes a lot of work, but also very rewarding doing these videos.

I was never told that either!
I don’t understand how we can’t find a cure for MGD. This is a life changing issues.
Probably because if you cure such a life obstructing issue then you can't charge people the big bucks to give them only temporary relief.
@@REREMO I’m scared of this answer. Surely there are people that can help that aren’t this cruel. It’s ruining mine and my families life.

Hii how was your eye now
I've been wanting to get the tear restore warm compress for a while but ill wait till your review video comes out since I want to get the bundle
Ok.. ill get right on making the video. I have a few in front of it, but I'll hurry as fast as I can.
@@DrEyeGuy thanks I love your reviews

Is warm compress can cause dark circles?
I've been using cornea care self-heating disposable eye masks Your thoughts?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, doctor! I’ve also been wanting to get the tear restore mask, and I look forward to watching your video on it. I hope you could also talk about if the heat it provides is moist heat or dry heat;)
Thanks! It is a dry heat, but I have been playing around with trying to make a moist heat out of it.
Do you have any recommendations for folks who don't own a microwave? I'm hoping for something that has packs that can be heated in hot water.

The twitching is due to dryness. I get that too
Awesome review!!! Your #1 warm compress pick looks genius - will be recommending to my patients as well!
Thank you! Thanks for checking out more of my videos.

Sounds like the perfect combo

I suffer from blepharitis and warm compresses make it worse. Plz Is this normal?
They haven’t done anything for me either & im wondering if it’s made it worse?
Have you tried the RENPHO mask? If so, does it reach the right temperature and is there a risk to the eyes? I would greatly appreciate if you could give me your opinion. Thanks!
I have not used that mask before. So I'm not sure how well it works. It looks like it has some good reviews.
It does not work for the heat but it is very nice to use. It's relaxing...
Have you done a compare video as yet for the TearRestore vs the generic version ..looking fwd to an honest review thanks
I have it filmed.. just not edited. Working on it. It might be a few weeks. It's tricky doing these videos during the holidays. 😄
@@DrEyeGuy Ok thx for the update .looking fwd to it

@@DrEyeGuy also def gonna sub. This video was so helpful trying to do research on my own! Gonna grab both of those masks and see if they do anything
@@OranguBANG How are your eyes now? Did the masks work for you?
@@godelneumann3932 my dry eye went away after half a year. Not sure how it fixed but I was eating healthy daily and taking fish oil tablets
But also the mask did nothing for me
Whats best way to massage your eyes when ur eye lashes are very weak?
does it really works? what difference between that and ordinal products?
Are you talking about the TearRestore mask vs the others? Really similar results, more convenient to use though.
@@DrEyeGuy u got me, thank you😄😄
Thanks for all the info!
Thank you! I hope it helped. Thanks for commenting too!
Good luck doctor

Are you talking about having a sty? It depends on the person and the sty... it can take up to just a few days to weeks sometimes.

The steam is great, moist heat is the best. I'm looking into doing a video specifically about steam heat options.
Is there a uk equivalent?
OMG I thought the blurred vision after doing a warm compress was just from sweat - wish they'd tell you they can damage your eyes! *Throws away*
Can you review UMay?
Could a humidifier help?
yes it can, especially during those dry winter months.
How to check temperature?….
Hi doctor. Are heated eye masks safe to use? A lot of them need to be microwaved but is that safe? Microwaves have a lot of radiation
2:52 😂
How many of this same exact video have you made for TH-cam?
This is the only one..... I have some dry eye and blepharitis videos where I talk about warm compresses as a treatment. Is that what you are thinking of maybe?
C'mon, use Fahrenheit as well as Celsius in your videos.
Is warm compress can cause dark circles?
