Your Tears starts the focusing of your eyes. If you have poor or a thin tear film, this can cause blurry vision right from the start. If you tears evaporate too fast, and you have a low TBUT, this can cause a foggy cornea, which can cause hazy and foggy/blury vision. If your dry eyes get bad enough, it can cause dry patches on your cornea called keratitis. Superficial punctate keratitis, punctate erosions, and even corneal erosion can form on the cornea, making it tricky to see though those dry patches.
The main dry eye treatments you can do at home include: preservative free artificial tears, omega 3 supplements, and good lid hygiene.

What Dry Eye Video would you like me to make next? Check out my dry eye playlist: 👉 rb.gy/heewbi
maybe advice on can you have the new lens changed??? as I only recently found you can have two different ones, one for long sighted and one for short sighted, I would have had that.
Dry eye regarding Sjogren's Hashimoto's maybe?

Awesome video
I can't believe that not ONE of my eye docs over the years have explained any of this. Not even the test you mentioned or that you can go blind if you don't take this issue seriously. Very upsetting! Thank you for sharing this info.
Some docs are not after your well being but your money.
One thing that I have found with myself... being completely honest and open, is that it takes a lot of energy and time to educate about dry eyes. If a doc is tired, or behind on schedule, it can be really tempting to brush over things. That is something that I have to recommit myself with every day... to try and give every patient my all.
@@DrEyeGuy here in the Philippines, some docs wont treat you unless you are vaccinated. It's like mandatory and as if vax people are 100% immune to the virus. What a joke!
You might not have had all the issues shown here at the time.
Very useful info!!
I've had dry eyes for the last 6/7 years...The best remedy I've used it Organic Castor oil...Just using a tiny drop on the fingertip and swiping it across your eyeline like a eye pencil every night for two weeks in the beginning...Your eyes will become alittle blurry, red n gritty for the first two weeks...In the morning you may wake up with crusty eyes, this is all very normal as the Castor oil cleanses your eyes...After two weeks you use it once a week, over time maybe once a month...Your eyes will be clear n sharp, no more weeping eyes or feeling of grit...Castor oil will also safeguard your eyes against Cataracts and Glaucoma...I carry onto to use it every couple of months to maintain the moisture and clear vision...
Do you get any reflex tears? Like while crying or cutting onion?
@@medhikasingh6327 All the time when I had dry eyes, just walking outside in the Autumn weather was pretty bad tears streaming down my face, having to wipe my eyes all the time...Now after using castor oil once a few weeks, I don't tear up cutting onion or while walking outside in the cold...
I can wear contact lenses still?
Thank you for that valuable information. I tried castor oil because I heard it was great for dry eyes and cataracts but gave up after 2 applications because in the morning my eye lash line was crusty. After reading your comments I will persevere. Thank you for sharing your info on castor oil.
What kind of Castro oil brand name ?
My dry eye problems are caused by a stroke I had two years ago. It has only grown worse over the past two years. Eye drops and eye massages tie in well with what my ophthalmologist recommended. Thanks for the free consultation!
I usualy had very dry and painful eyes in the mornings with blurry vision, and finally found out that my eyes don't shut completely while sleeping. Not wide open, but a bit. Now I wear a nightmask, and that really works! :)
Interesting
@@NAG3❤
Did your vision improved
@@helenivory9830😊no0😊come come 😅
Goggles! You can see the moisture in them when you remove them. I prefer the “Onyx” over the see-through quartz. Lasts longer and you can’t see through the quartz once the moisture builds. I put a silk night eye mask over it just in case it should slip.
I have fluctuation between clear and hazy ever since I had cornea transplants. This entire video made so much sense.
For the last few years(especially around 2020) my eyes have been getting dry and irritated. my eyes were never perfect I never had trouble seeing at night or the double vision you talked about. But I can even feel the dryness and irritation but when my eyes are properly lubricated I have vision like an eagle with amazing detail. I would myself contribute most of my dry eyes issue from lack of exercise/activity, my diet not being the best the last few years, and the irritants of my current home, aka environment. Even when I went to an eye doctor the head lady there couldn't have cared less about what I was saying to her about my dry and irritated eyes that this is a new problem. All she cared about was getting me a pair of new glasses $$$ for which I only ever needed them for the classroom sometimes. She was even nasty to say she would tell authorities or so that I needed glasses while driving, basically threatening me which after I got done with what I needed there I will never return. But from this video I feel this is exactly what I have, true dry eyes because of diet, lack of exercise, and environment and these solutions and reasons make perfect sense.
I hope you never go back to that doctor's office. That is horrible how they treated you and tried to intimidate you. That is how it's become with this Healthcare system or should I say sick care system. Hope you are doing well now. Keep up on research.
haleluja! Praise the Dr.EyeGuy 🙏my blurry vision was bothering me last year...now I know why...I am just careless a bit, but it is time to take the right steps. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with us 🙏 ❤ 👍
This has been a major problem with my eyes. I also have advanced glaucoma. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your post! Helpful! My favorite eye drops are, "Simalisan," it is thick, doesn't sting, lasts & there's 4 or 5 different types for different problems. 💦
I learned more about my eyes here than anywhere else thank you Dr
I found this video very helpful. I had 6 eye surgeries and ended up with a cornea transplant. This guy is right. Drink water and keep those corneas moist! Especially if you have had LASIK or smoke or use antidepressants or marijuana. All of these things dry out your eyes.
Thank you Dr Eyeguy. You just diagnosed me and gave me a treatment plan. Why didn’t my last three eye docs do this for me?! You’re a champ. Thanks
Its a lottery these days trying to find a suitable doctor. Once you find one you resonate with, life is great 😁
Hi I am glad your doing well. Did your eyes blur when you had dry eyes. What helped mostly to clear the vision? Thanks in advance!
Thank you Dr just did my check up and I got a new glasses and told the doctor my eyes scratch me alot and she tells wet a rag water and put on it sometimes it's very bad so thank you for your help.
Green tea with honey does an amazing job. I make myself a cup of tea and fill my dropper bottle. Be sure to use fresh organic tea and raw honey. I use it on my dogs too.
Dr eye guy I have been suffering for 6 months from problems with my eyes due to mold exposure and I'm completely blind in my left eye from scarring from a progressive ulcer and my right eye has been going out for about 2 weeks now I have been complaining about having a ball or something on my eyeball that is preventing me from seeing and out of frustration I started watching this video and you just literally explain to me what is wrong with my eye now and you explained it to me and my opthamologist didn't even say anything close to what it could have been other than a corneal abrasion I want to thank you so much because your videos have helped me through this whole thing everything that has gone on with my eyes and I have had a question about I have watched your videos and you have helped me thus far but this video right here really literally just told me everything that is going on with my right eye and now I feel like I'll be able to save my vision completely I will have to have a corneal transplant on my left eye but I think I'm just going to rock with the one I if I can get my right back into working shapeI want to thank you so much for making these videos because without you I would not know where I would be at literally probably bumping into a lot of wall thank you so much
Just found your channel and greatly appreciate your help! I have chronic Uveitis and have very bad dry eyes, I just started using Walgreens own brand of drops after reading a review of the best drops to use, they have no preservatives in them and so far they do a good job. I look forward to watching more of your channel!
I also have lupus SLE and sjogrens which causes dry eyes. My eyesight is fine except for the dry eyes. My optometrist used a steamer on my eyes followed by squeezing to clear the lower lid oil glands which were blocked. Once this was done, my eyes went from very blurry to clear vision. Very informative video. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing!
great insight thank you for sharing
I also have SLE lupus and secondary Sjogren's, but I went to an ophthalmologist 2 months ago, who told me that I have 4/10 cataracts. Will have it checked out in a year's time.
Can you explain the steamer and squeezing? Hot steam directed towards your eyes? Did the doctor squeeze, or use a tool?
@@wandamusictube first she put a steamer on my eyes for 20-30 minutes, like swimming goggles, this to warm up the oils, then she put the yellow drops in the eyes before she squeezed the oil ducts with a flat paddle like tweezer to unblock the oil ducts. To follow up at home, putting a hot/warm face washer over the eyes then slowly run your finger across the lower lid, finishing upward to the outer eyelid like a smiley face. Do this several times. Do as often as you feel you need. Hope this helps.
So many times I'll tell patients that their meibomian glands are dropping out and going away and they probably have a certain level of evaporative dry eye disease and they respond by saying "but my eyes aren't dry". At the same time they are blinking about once every 2-3 seconds so their automatic blinks are accommodating for their evaporative dry eyes and they don't even know it. The next discussion is exactly what you talked about when you brought up "Tear Break Up Time" or TBUT. Good info!!!
So common! I would say a good portion of people don't realize that they have some level of dry eyes. Thanks for the comment.
@@DrEyeGuy Thanks for the good content. Keep it coming.
@@DrEyeGuyyep! Just got diagnosed with dry eyes. I thought the overabundant tears were....wet.😅She said my eyes are overcompensating. Got drops, and Lidnlash eye wipes. Will check for omega threes. Thankyou!
Thanks doc... optometrist prescribed blue light glasses. Hasn't worked for years, and after watching you it all makes sense now.
Just was looking at your video. Am very happy to have this info, as U struggle with lupus and the effects it has on my eyes! I will look at all your video’s regarding this. I am almost going to blind state after living with this condition for over 55 years
Sorry to hear this... I'll do my best to keep making videos that can be helpful.
I have suffered from dry eyes for many years and have learned so much from you, thank you for your very informative videos!!
Since I was a child I had a 1/4” grey spot on the white of my left eye which my eye doctor told me was a birth mark. When I was 60 I started to close my eyes in the shower and let the water spray on my eyelids, (eyes closed), turning my head side to side, 20x to improve eye circulation. Within two weeks the mark was completely gone. When I told my present doctor what I did he said it was impossible.
I also asked him what the effects were of preservatives on living cells, or if cataracts were a kind of callus the eye makes from dry eyelids rubbing on the surface membrane of the eye and he didn’t know.
I have always had dry eyes and could never wear contacts. Now I think it’s from clogging my tear ducts with the black eye pencil we used to line our inner eyelids with.
Hi can I please know when you where on the shower did you open the eyes?
@@abshirohassen5 …I run the water on my closed eyes, and when I’m done I just wipe the water off before I open them . I don’t run the water in my eyes, just on the eyelids.
Thank you for replying.........I do have blurry vision and dry eyes and some yellow fat on my side of the eyes......Will maybe that shower trick help.
@@abshirohassen5 …you’re welcome. When I was a massage therapist they taught us that 75% of pain and other problems are due to lack of circulation because the blood heals. It brings nutrients and takes away waste and toxins. That’s why exercise is so important too. You can also move just your eyeballs up and down, side to side and in circles when sitting in a chair. When you’re in the shower with your eyes closed, make sure you hold onto something. Good luck and God bless you.
@@cmwHisArtist Thank you Mr/Miss.
24k+...Thanks. Great video. I have been suffering blurry vision from time to time.
Very useful information, appreciate your video
Top tier videos - thank you so much for all of this!
Thank you! Trying to improve with every video.
Thanks for providing excellent presentation
Thank you for finally giving me confirmation that I am sane and that this there something wrong with my eyes, in which multiple eye doctors failed to diagnose much less explain. This has gone back many years with first problems with my eyes. After a long course of going to different eye doctors one told me after his exam that I had Auto Immune in my eyes, have a good day and pay at the desk. A few years ago I was also diagnosed with cataracts & had both eyes done to correct it, but then I was still have all the same symptoms just as you described it, blurry intermitted blurriness, severe light sensitivity, itchy and on and on it goes. Interestingly enough as well showers are extremely painful when washing my hair and water hitting my face, after I get done I look a vampire with bloodshot eyes for an hour or so afterwards. I can't begin to tell you how relieved I am to at least know what is wrong and how to treat it!
Do you get any reflex tears? Like while crying or cutting onion?
Excellent video. I have this occasional blurred vision on my eyes which comes and goes away in 10 mins. I consulted my optometrist who diagnosed it as Visual Migraine. I am more inclined to believe it's Dry Eyes.
I have suffered with extreme dry eyes for almost my entire life. As a teen, I would poke them or blow on them to make them tear up but with little relief. Then one day I realised that if I yawn, my eyes produced tears. These days I yawn like every few minutes through out the entire day, everyday for the tears. I never use eye drops because the relief is short lived. I have also experienced extremely blurred vision for months and became scared that I was going blind but didn't know why. Now I understand that it's down to the same dry eyes that have plagued me for my entire life :(
Eu tenho o mesmo problema por causa do olhos muito secos! Você melhorou ?😊
Hello I hope your good now. What helped you in treating the dry eyes mostly. How long where they blurred. Did you check with doc?
My heart goes out to U. Not fun at all! I used restasis, prescribed by eye dr., and it caused a much bigger problem, which is dry mouth. It happens while a person sleeps, and drinking water doesn’t stop it. DRY MOUTH , caused by restasis destroys your teeth. We have to have saliva in our mouths 24/7 to not get teeth damage. So beware of any drug like restasis. People have some ideas here that I’ll try, like the organic castor oil. Good luck to you. 🫶🏻😳🤫😝🤨🫶🏻
Thank you and God bless you
Wow I never thought of that. Whenever I read for like 20+ mins on my phone my vision starts getting blurry recently. Tried so many things even bought those anti blue light glasses and nothing worked. I tried some eye drops and it helped instantly def gunna be using these more often. My eyes never felt dry so it never crossed my mind. Thank you!
First time I heard a thorough explanation,regarding dry eyes ,together with remedy,j I have dry eyes ,tomorrow I have a schedule with Eye Specialist,Thank you Doc.from Phil's.
Do you get any reflex tears? Like while crying or cutting onion?
Thank you for your info god bless you
Very informative and helpful video. Better explanation and advice than I got from eye doctor visits.
Thank you! I'm glad this video is helping so many people.
LASIK also causes dry eye 👁️. I’m very lazy using drops so I find that closing my eyes for a few seconds does help a lot.
Happy Anniversary Father Dave may You have a perfect health. Godbless You more
This the best honest info ever -
Thank you Doc!
Thank you! This comment actually means a lot to me.
@@DrEyeGuy there are only a few honest people on TH-cam and you are definitely at the top of the list!
This is best video on dryness. You literally solved my concern and doubts on my doctor.
I have get checked up by 5 doctor each and everyone gave a different prescription and number for my lens and last the conclusion was my original number was correct and I have dryness which can only be corrected by artificial tears.
I had all these problems listed below
1. Pain in my right eye only when I wear specs. Without specs its fine
2. Right eye feels like a stone in my eyesocket
3. Pain in eyebrows, below eye, nerve and forehead at right side, when I have the specs.
4. Vision gets blurred after continuous working on the laptop. That's why I follow 202020.
5. Little overlapping characters not much but worsen with continuous work.
6. For dryness I have eyedrops 4 times a day which only delays the pain for a while.
7. I feel sleepy and heavy eyes on my mac all the time and I have to sleep to recover, which I cannot afford
8. Sometimes I cannot see the fonts clearly the same font and sometimes I can. ( Dont remember when) I think after continuously working and not having eyedrops in the last 2 hours
What can be the reason and solution for this.
Hi, I have similar symptoms, I have met 4 doctors and they have given different eyesight numbers, I got four different spectacles still blurriness is still present. However, I have the following problems--
1) I feel little blurry in the mornings from 8:00AM to 10:00AM
2) After breakfast(after 10:00AM), my vision gets more blurry
3) It continues until evening 6pm
4) However I feel active from 6pm until dinner. After dinner, I get blurry once again.
4) Blurriness in the sense, that if I close one eye I can clearly see the vision(closing of any eye). This blurriness is seen both with specs on and without specs.
5) I feel like there is some substance inside my eyes, I want to get rid of that substance. However doctors say that my eye is perfectly fine.
6) I always want to close one eye (any eye) and focus with another eye.
7) Due to this there is headache too, I always want to rub my temple head area due to this headache and always feel sleepy after 8pm. I am not able to hold my sleepiness after 10pm.
8) Due to this I have become completely lazy. Concentration worsened too.
9) Especially I feel this in my left eye.
Finally, I feel like torture and none of the doctors are able to treat my problem from the past two years and now I feel my symptoms have worsened by a bit, If you can help me I would be thankful to you.
My doctor told me it’s screen time. I work on my pc for about 8 hours and my eyes are dry. She explain being on a screen ex laptop, phone, tablet we blink less which produces less tears.
@@iviaqua Ohh same here. Doctor said its because of dry eyes and I get to use eye drops throughout my career.
Thank you 🙏🏼 you have said so much what I’m going through with my eye 👁️ thank you 🙏🏼 again
I can’t believe I’ve never been advised before I had problems for the last few years with blurred vision I use dry wipe when really bad
Thank you so much, Doctor. You nailed my problem. Now comes the question as to how to bring it up with the eye doctor without offending them. (I know doctors don’t like patients doing their own research on line. But, this was such a relief to watch.) Hope they can help me. I have been losing vision in one eye for two years due to dryness. But, I am on Medi-Cal, which I am greatful for, that takes a great deal of self-advocacy and perserverance.
The referral to an optomologist came from a doc who thinks it’s a cataract. This may be a challenge to overcome. The eye not tearing up as well as the other, seems to be the underlying problem.
Thank you, again.
Try Evo Tears Omega my dear friend. Perhaps they help you, they are focused on building up the lipid phase and work best in combination with drinking cold sparkle water to get your eyes to tear. They build a real long lasting and solid film over your eye.
@@LunaticSpice What’s working for me, now, is to put a bit of peppermint oil on the eyebrow and below the eye. The fumes make it water like crazy. But, I will look for those drops, as well.
If you’re in California, try to find a medical school or university with an optometry department. I believe U.C. Berkeley has one. You will get more advanced eye care than going to your local optometrist. Good luck.
@@RobertMclean-wj2yg Be careful with that, if you eyes are as dry then they are extremely sensitive to sharp things like peppermint and it may cause irritations. Standing in a cool stream of air works too, or walking around a bit with wide open eyes. Good luck with the Drops and dont mix them with peppermint please, because you want your eyes to relaxe not to exite.
As a Srojgens sufferer I use gel type eyedrops, especially last thing at night, they keep the eye moisturised for much longer. I also carry with me the eyedrops that you can spray at a closed eye, eye drops are great, but this is good as it an be used anywhere and is convenient to carry.
Thanks for sharing!!
You may want to try the new nasal spray, Tyrvaya. It has helped me a lot. A friend has srojgens and tyrvaya has helped her a lot also.
I suffer from severe dry eyes...I'm so happy that I found your TH-cam channel 💯...and I just Subscribed on 5- 29 -23 😊❤
Thank you! Hopefully I can help in some way.
Do you get any reflex tears? Like while crying or cutting onion?
I learned from your video the effect of dry which I often get blurry vision after rubbing my eye it would start to show a little clear, I was always confused that why there is a layer of fog, so it's the dry eye issue I'm getting, thank you for the information.
Heck yea - preservative-free tears all the way! Thanks for sharing this important information and it was great to meet you in person ❤
Thank you! It was awesome to meet you too! Super small world!
Drink water! I had Lasik surgery on my right eye, I can tell when I’m dehydrated by that eye. I then drink water and then shortly after feel my eye hydrate. It is worth a try!
Great Comment!
Was it blurry?
Did it get cured by drinking water?
I use Thealos Duo drops. It is amazing! I haven’t had a drop that keeps my eyes so wet.
In addition to what you are saying, what helps me a great deal dealing with dry eyes, is to wash my eyes with lots of VERY WARM water and mild soap (eye lids closed of course), water as WARM, hot as I can tolerate, it makes a BIG difference! 😄. I was told to do this by my eye doctor.
Thank you!
I use a wheat bag, as warm as possibly and place that on my eyes. Works really well
helped my eyes a lot watching this! thank you
@@judithhogan453
How to prepare a wheat bag?
Use baby shampoo
Thank you! Finally got some good tips! Eyes are not producing enough tears and reg eye Dr wanted to put plugs in. I knew that would not help my condition.
Hopefully the treatment you use will work well!
Thanks you have explained the problem so well
Thanks for the video, i'm gonna try your advices for my dry eyes.
I recently had my eyes examined 2 months ago, at vision works. I wear my glasses most of the time, but I notice recently that I've been scunching my eyes real tight and and opening up to make tears. the lighting in our home is not good. I have a hard time looking at things even with my glasses 👓 on .
I have severe dry eyes and it was causing me massive anxiety. I have noticed improvement since following your recommendations. It has saved my sanity! Thankyou❤
So good to hear! Thank you for saying this.
What did you do that help the most?
@@DrEyeGuyDear doctor I have anxiety and blurry vision what is the connection between blurry vision and anxiety?I am also taking anti anxiety medicine.
So I’ve had dry eye for many years. My routine is electric dry eye mask for 15 to 30 minutes. I’ve used many brands. The best I’ve found is a newer one called IVIZIA. I use 2 drops each eye morning & evening. It comes in a preservative free bottle. It takes some getting use to squeeze out a drop. Shake well, turn upside down for 20 seconds. Say away from heat sources, wear good sunglasses that block wind & sunlight. I also use Retaine MGD if I’m traveling & need a quick treatment. The cleansers work if you have a lot of bacteria & a slight message. Thanks for the video!
Do you get any reflex tears? Like while crying or cutting an onion
Wow! Huge THANK YOU! This makes so much sense for me.
Do you get any reflex tears? Like while crying or cutting onion?
EXCELLENT presentation. This was very helpful.
Thank you! I'm glad it could be helpful. Sometimes I worry I'm not explaining it very well, so comments like this make me feel better. 🙂
@@DrEyeGuy it was absolutely helpful. Can you answer a question for me that has been bugging me. Is it common with dry eye that near vision is blurry, but far vision is much clearer?
@@terrigordon5552 good question... not usually. Dry eyes usually affects all distances. But, it could depend on what younare looking at. If you are on a computer or reading from your phone, or your book, then we don't blink as much, and our eyes dry out more. So it could be that. Or, you may need correction, glasses, for close up.
Interesting home remedies! Thanks for sharing your recommended products.
Thank you! There are so many I could have talked about, it was hard to limit it down.
I am very interested in your comments and would love to follow on with your products .I am 67 and have all the problems you mentioned.
Thank you, finally a real Dr. on TH-cam with helpful information.
Yes, you have to be careful. There’s a chiropractor on TH-cam that always gives all sorts of medical advice. A chiropractor is not a medical doctor.
@@Amen.22 As somebody who has gone through 3 back surgeries. I've seen these people. And I want to grab the so called patient. And drag them out of there. So you are right. I wish there weren't so many naieve people. And the same goes for these other fake Drs. Pelvic floor people. They're physical therapist at best.
Thank you for educating us and explaining this I went to sleep with a face mask on and I woke up to blurry vision. I have to say I never wore glasses in my life and I've never had this issue this severe it's hard for me to see things that I wouldn't normally see easily so this video is helping me get my vision back and I don't recommend anybody wear a blindfold to sleep because this is literally never happened to me before until I wore a blindfold to sleep. Aka sleep mask
Thanks for the information! This is actually really helpful to know. I just completed my CXL procedure about a week ago and feel as though preservative free tears are really helpful. Will it also help healing from the CXL as well?
Hello what is CXL?
I am facing same issue after my cxl treatment can it helps you pls share your experience
@@libertybelmonte1602 it is a treatment for eye disease called keratokonus
You sound like Matt Patt, doc. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for sharing this information.❤
Experienced dry eyes post cataract surgery. Thanks for the video…
Thank you for commenting. I have been getting a lot of comments about post cataract extraction dryness. I may have to do a specific video about that topic.
@@DrEyeGuy oh YES…PLEASE DO!
Super video, very informative, thank you 😄
You are very welcome!
Thank you. I'll try some form of moisturizer next time I get a blurry fit.
Dr eye guy u literally are a gem I am an mbbs student and u solved my eye problem quickly..... With a simple video❤❤❤❤
You always have such great information and you present it so well. I usually get this in the summer a lot because I sleep with a fan on. Eye drops definitely help!
Thank you! Same thing happens with me... the fan can really dry the eyes out.
hi, do your eyes blur also in summer.. how long does it take for them to be back to normal?
@@roopaofficial5633 just a couple of minutes if I use eye drops. If I didn't, maybe six or seven minutes until my eyes re-lubricate.
Here’s the best way to avoid severe dry eyes like mine….don’t ever have laser eye surgery.
Already have had it. Recommended to stop bleeding in eye after having Covid.
Same here! 7 months after lasik surgery! Don’t do laser!
@@user-ty6jh9fo4y To late they already did it.
100% agree...
I've heard this a lot so I'll not consider Lasik.
Thank you so much for this very valuable information!!
Dear everyone, I wish you peace inside your soul. We are all light and all connected, don’t be scare, all gonna be ok. Your futur gonna be fantastic because you are fantastic. Thank you so much for your reading.
Thank you so very much for this info, it's exactly what I needed to hear... finally a clear and not blurry explanation! 😂
Haha! Thanks!
A really helpful video thank you. I drive a lot 8 - 10 hours a day. I’m careful to make sure the air conditioning is directed away from my face as this can really aggravate dry eyes. I regularly use good eye drops and do warm compressions and that really helps.
I came across an article that omega-3 and GLA, gamma lenolinic acid, helps with dry eyes. I increased my intake of both and my dry eyes went away. The added benefits of taking both omegas at higher amount is they addressed my inflammatory cytokines which I was tested for years ago.
@@angelperl77 how many months did your dry eyes take to go away..after omega 3.. did you have blurred vision
In addition to a wonderful video you are so kind to answer all sorts of queries indeed a rarity online
I try my best... I get a lot of comments so I feel like I fall behind sometimes. But I like talking with people. It help me learn as well.
@@DrEyeGuy all good qualities God bless you with the best
I had an eye test and was told I had dry eyes and was prescribed an eye wash and drops. I couldn't use either I have sensetive skin and they both irritated my eyes and made them worse. Thank you for the info you have provided.
I have been on refresh tears for 5 years now an sometime my eyes or so feeling sore as I also has glocumma can thanks for your advice
Sorry to hear this. I hope your eye conditions are controlled.
The is the best eye health channel on YT.
Thank you!
I agree i have had more information of this doctor than My own medical team good man
Thanks doc for your wise advice. Be bless.
Thank you Doc! 🙏🏼 Gosh it was good yesterday and then today wondering prescription was correct!! This video really talked to me today!🙌🏽
I appreciate you saying this! I'm glad videos like this can help people.
Is it possible to overuse moisture-replenishing eye drops? What would be the downsides if any? Will they be of any help to reduce light halos when driving at night? Can you discuss glaucoma and why damage could be more central vision than peripheral vision? Is there any promising study or trials on treating or reversing glaucoma damage? Why can you lower IOP with drops but there are no drops to raise IOP? Just a few suggestions for future videos I would be interested in. Thanks!
I have drier eyes have hyloforte for last 15 years it’s a eye drop
Superb video Doctor I have blepharitis for about 20yrs omega 3 ground linseed with my porridge clean eyelids, helps but I'm going to explore your expert advice, thank you
Thank you Doc. Had my lasik year 2014 and still have dry eye. Yes I am having blurry vision amd sometimes I thought my eyesight is becoming poor but after putting artificial tears it will suddenly be okay. 😢
My dry eye has gotten worse and worse over the last 20 years.
During that time, I have gone to about four different doctors. Even though dry eye was my biggest complaint, none of them gave me any of this information or options.
Thx, so much...
You're welcome, glad I could help.
What you feel now
Castor oil drops for the eyes are really good. I use that at night. That helps to lubricate them..Also helps with cataracts as well.
I did that and switched to coconut oil. Nothing has cured my eyes sealed shut every morning.
@Fairchild Hopefully, they'll be a cure one day.
Dry eyes
You can make your own eye drops, MSM powder, sea salt and few drops of iodine. There are formulas on the web , just make sure everything you use is sterile
@@joyeugenie it's been a few years now. I think I'll switch back to castor oil for a while. I think my inside of my eyelids are damaged and don't whole moisture, so they stick to my eyeballs. Ripping affect. I use saline on them all night long if I have to open them. Horror story, like my eyes are sowed shut.
Who knew there was treatments like this
This is very beneficial information. I recently had such pain experience with one of my eyes. Felt like a foreign obj and an inflamed tearing eye. I thought I just had dry eye but drops were not doing much for me. I had to see a specialist and recently got diagnosed with "anterior basement membrane dystrophy" and on and ointment to be placed 4x a day for about a month and a half. I may have to have some surgery called "superficial keratectomy" and absolutely scared out of my mind.
Do you get any reflex tears? Like while crying or cutting an onion
@@medhikasingh6327- yes.
Being a DR
And I hate to run anyone down, or say anything against them.
you did very good with helping with symptom relief.
But I thought DR's were supposed to help fix problems and not to just alevieate the symptoms and allow those symptoms to continue.
You are correct.
Dry eyes is usually a multifactorial condition with many possible causes depending on the person. I have a playlist of dry eye videos that I am striving to add to to help out as many people as possible. But what it comes down to, is that each person should have a dry eye exam to determine the root cause and develop the proper treatment. I would be unable to do that in a video, even though I try my best to talk about different causes, symptoms, and treatments to give people a better understanding. I try my best to treat the core issue with my patients that I see.
@@DrEyeGuy great answer and respect for your qualifications as a professional
Drs are not God not every problem can be fixed
DO you expect a doctor creating a series of videos to help many people is magically curing individuals he never met?
God can't fix every problem!
Why do you think he doesn't do anything about kids starving to death or getting raped?@@semoneg2826
Blink 100 times or more a day will create the moister you need it work for me
You have dry eyes
I had just woken up, checked my phone, and could barely see. After some eyedrops they cleared up but man was I freaking out. I guess that’s what I get for gaming so far into the night.
A very professional an informative video
After I done my cataract my eyes become worst and blurr
I wake up in morning with this and everything is blurred like I can’t see my left eye is much worse thn my right eye I have to blink and blink and wipe my eyes until I can see clearly again the way you explained it with the glass was spot on that is exactly how my eye is when I wake up I hate this and my anxiety is so bad 😢
Same here !
@@erizabeth613 how are your eyes? I found out my central heating was making my eyes really bad since turning it off in my bedroom my eyes are much better first thing in the morning I also bought myself a humidifier from Amazon I’m sure it helps
@@TASIAawful1 yeah a humidifier really helps!! Now about my eyes I've got moderate dry eyes my eyes irritate when I'm around air conditioner or fan. They irritate when I use a little too much digital devices and they get strained too easily so you know I need to rest my eyes a lot throughout the day and I use two eyedrops, cyclomune and hyla fusion they really do help with lubricating and reduce the redness and inflammation in my eyes and do not forget to hydrate yourself properly that really helps. Its very hard to use computer and on that I'm a comp science student so it's really hard to manage every second is of irritation.
@@TASIAawful1 thoughts like giving up on your life are really common in this condition 🤣 but we should stay strong man, shit happens.
Thanks for motivating
Thank you so much. I appreciate very much your effort to inform us since many doctors don't give us efficient informations..
I wish you were in my town LOL you described exactly everything I have.
Great video! Extremely informative! I was diagnosed with cutaneous Lupus as well as Sjogren’s. Aside from eye drops is there something natural I can use to stop my blurry vision from progressing? Thanks so much for your time!
Do you have sticky liquid come from your top lids? It is awful.
@@susanbrown2578 that is a meibomian gland issue. I use hot compresses.
Did you attend to your B12 and B1 intake? And at the same time, cut refined carbs out of your diet?
moringa leaf juice is the natural eye drop...steamed moringa leaf juice is safe...we grow moringa tree at home...3 continuous day for each month is enough for me
I have severe dry eye and it's the worst makes me have light sensitivity and severe pain
I'm sorry to hear that! It is a battle for sure, and a lot of people don't understand how much it can actually change your life.
@@DrEyeGuy what about “Clear Eyes”?
Try serum drops !
No gritty feeling in the eye?
First of all THANK YOU! Why am I paying my eye Doctor and he is telling me none of this, but I get it from you for free? Thanks again!
I have something going on that seems like dry eye or eye strain or 'mild' conjunctivitis although when it first showed up I thought it was way more serious. I was trying everything, and blaming everything from the weather to the screen on my new computer. Finally, I started doing the easiest thing. Every time I visit the bathroom, I splash water on my face. Not a soapy wash, just water. It helps with the flakey skin I was having around the bridge of my nose and the dry eyes are already much better. The somewhat scarey "I am going blind!" splotches are almost gone.
Enjoyed your advice and I did warm compresses once to relieve a clogged tear duct. So I know the advice is good. Just thought I'd mention this simple possibility.
thank you sharing... It's awesome how sometimes it can be a simple thing like that, that can make such a big difference.
