DId you have anyone named Tyler and you just took the contacts right out of his eyes then that might be him
Brewstew lives in minnesota so if u do it is possible
who else loves to get really high before going to the eye doctor? 😂
@@MeMe-kk1xt No he grew up and I think still lives in Toledo Ohio. I think he has flat out said that he grew up in Toledo in a few videos but I know he did grow up there because I recognize a lot of the things he talks about in his videos as Toledo. Pretty sure he still lives there but that I am less confident about as I just watch his videos and don't really "follow" him.
We need more of these reaction videos, it's way too fun to watch 🤣
Great to hear that feedback! I have another one planned soon.
Agreed
I used to work in an optical assistant role. The one parent I remember is the lady who had a brain tumour. It was found with a simple eye test. And the older lady who was staring to get cataracts and the opticians saved her eye sight.
Any healthcare job can be hard, but it really is amazing to be able to give someone their life back
Kids being able to fool the test because they can manipulate their eyes is so true I remember as a kid I hated getting the glocoma test and I knew how to cross my eyes my doctor would would get mad and tell me to stop it 😂
lmao😂
I had a 'bad' experience at the eye docktor when I was a kid, just nervous and like the video thought he was impatient but I saw the same guy like 15 years later and he was fine. I think as kids we perceive most adults as scary so he was probably fine when I was a kid it was just all in my head.
True! Our perspectives change so much from childhood!
It’s a great video. I like that you taught us the names of all the instruments and purpose of the tests. Thank you Dr. Joseph.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I just now realize that his eye test in the back says something
My husband and I went to the eye doctor today for our eye examinations. I am laughing at this. Love the new info.
I laughed so hard until my stomach was hurting!!! I was crying!!!🤣🤣
I needed a laugh!!! 😊 THANKS
I also learned a lot.
Lol I absolutely loved this video! Please do more like this. Such a great way to keep people engaged while also learning something new. I loved how they showed the new instruments like the iCare. Thank you for reminding patients why it is important for eye doctors to look at your retina. It's not just about getting a new prescription but also determining overall health. I think everyone should have an eye exam plus a lot of medical insurances cover it! ❤
💯💯
@Doctor Eye Health LOL I was laughing inside all day today at the clinic. A lot of patients ask me: Is there a reason why it's a hot air Ballon or a farmhouse? Do you know, haha?
The dreaded eye-puff test...omg! I hate it! My body gets so tense and My eyes water so much from the anxiety/anticipation that they usually have to do it more than once. There has to be a better way!
The iCare tonometer is way way better! Hopefully the clinic you go to can get that!
@@DoctorEyeHealth After watching this I am realizing that I hold a minority opinion: I much prefer either the puff test or the third one you mentioned over the handheld device because in both of those my head is firmly held in place by the machines and the process is more controlled. I panic when someone comes at my eye with something that is going to touch it that isn’t supported and moves quickly (opportunity to poke my eye out if something goes wrong) and then I move my head and that makes it worse. I have rarely managed to successfully get pressure read with the handheld one but the others are momentary inconveniences/minor discomfort.
Same!
My dad, who was an optometrist for 45+ years, he always dilated. He would get a Visual Field Analyzer, the best auto refractor, a tonometer both air and hand held, the best phoropter, but used those 2 drops and his slit lamp for most patients. Very old school.
This was an awesome and informative video! Came up watching a brewstew video, so thanks so much!
Last time I went to the eye doctor was like 12 years ago and it was a great experience. My grandfather has this very very rare eye decease called Wagner's decease. Because it's genetic and only infects men (grandfather from mothers side) I had to be checked. The doctor that check me was the same that found it in my grandfather. When he found out that my grandfather had it he rejoiced because he was writing his thesis about it. Because my eyes were dilated I had to put sunglasses on but my mom had forgotten mine to home so the doctor decided to buy me a new pair. He retired a week later.
edit: I forgot to mention that it was found that I thankfully don't have it.
Great show, and that video was hilarious! I can totally relate, and as far as ophthalmologists finding other ailments, mine several years ago found a squamous cell cancer in the crease of my eyelid.
Been watching both you and brewstew for a while..nice video
I'm one who likes my eyes dilated. Love the look of my big pupils.
This video was great. I love how much you enjoyed it, too.
True...I get sooo stressed at the puff on the eye. Not the 1st one, but, wow, the second! I keep blinking, in fright, before the 2nd begins!
Very informative. Thank you.
I prefer the old blue light test for pressure from the 90's. I never can get used to the air puff test.
Years ago I had intercranial hypertension. One of the steps of diagnosis (before the LP) and one of the things they did to track the recovery was, I forget the term, checking the back of the eyeballs for bruising. I *think* that towards the end of my recovery my neurologist sent me to the Ophthalmologist to get the inside of my eye checked out w/ their big old machine.
I wonder if it was that new no-air-puff machine.
😂 made me giggle another great video the worst thing i had done a procedure to unclog my tear ducts was awful
Glad you enjoyed the video! What was so bad about having the tear ducts unclogged? The taste of the saline?
i'd be much more relaxed if i saw this before my eye test last month XD
I appreciate your recommendation to have both the eye dilation and wide field imaging procedures performed. I like that my eye doctor has photos as a historical record of my eye health.
Thanks doc this is perfect explanation 👌 🎉🎉
My optometrist caught spots that ended up being the early stages of eye disease. I’m 43 but the disease is usually seen in people in their 60’s. So now I’ve seen seen 3 different doctors looking for answers and help so I don’t go blind.
You explain the instruments in a actually good way and i love it
Funny. You got a subscriber. Also reminded me I need to make an appointment to see the eye doctor. 😅
Yeah…the dilation is something I know all too well. Yearly diabetic eye exams.
Good news being, they’re absolutely fine according to my optometrist, and it was just a few days ago I had it done. I’m badly near sighted, but that’s been an issue since childhood, not related to diabetes. Can’t see even a few yards in front of me clearly without my glasses. Tried contacts once but they didn’t work out, just gave me headaches and were a pain to use.
Hahahah this video is crack up 😂 great work Dr Eye Health!
Haha thanks!
@@DoctorEyeHealthhi
Loved it!
According to my parents, when I was little I fought and screamed over the eye-dilation droplets and apparently some other kid asked if it was scary because I was pretty loud in there!
Love it! Story - in the 60s I was placed in a convent and the Nuns noticed I had the GIFT OF SIGHT! They named me after Santa Lucia (with Greek spelling) Well as it turns out aging is cruel but I am blessed as I don't have all the OTHER problems people my age have. Aging has hit my eyes big time. I am not only blessed with the gift of sight I am blessed with cataracts, dry eye, MGD, recurrent chalzion and hordeolums. Of course presbyopia. I can really see far into the future now! OMG! I'm doing my 1st ZOOM class and I am supposed to limit my computer time. (how does that work in this day and age?) I leave the eye doctor asking for a SEEING EYE DOG to drive me home. Love your work. It sure helps me a lot!! Love your humor!!!
Loved this! 😂
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
I’ve been told for almost 15 years that I was developing cataracts. Finally this week, I was told one of the cataracts has reached the point where it’s thick enough to obscure vision and be removed (I’m 65).
Unfortunately, the doctor said that there are a number of complications that cause problems to the final vision outcome.
He said I have 1) A LOT of astigmatism in my left eye (he said it three times), so much that a Toric lens might not help as needed. I also have 2) dry eye disease and he wants me to use drops twice a day from now on. I have 3) Recurrent Corneal Erosion resulting in 3 cysts in that eye. Finally, I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in 2009 that affects my eyes. Double vision/ghosting, and Saccades. The Saccades are in both eyes and affect vertical and horizontal tracking (or lack thereof).
He said all my issues do not make me a good candidate for cataract surgery.
My first question is why wouldn’t any of my other eye doctors (including him) mention that these issues, that I’ve had for years, could cause complications down the line?
Did I sleep too much on my left side? Is that why the astigmatism is so bad?
If having cataract surgery could require multiple surgeries that could ultimately cause vision loss. Why did he have me look it up instead of just telling me?
Did I read the complications issues wrong?
What alternatives do I have? He just said come back in 7 months to a year, unless I have other problems. Does this mean I will eventually go blind?
Of course, I wish I’d thought of these questions while in his office, but I didn’t until I had time to research and have come to you for guidance.
Should I seek a second opinion? This doctor was highly recommended, and he seemed fairly straightforward, but I don’t know what to do now.
Please tell me what you think!
Thank you for your time.
My refraction tests were always done the old school way with the glasses frames and multiple lenses that are over 100 years old
My doctors always uses the contact pressure tests both sit down and hand held because I’m hypersensitive to the air puff test.
Will you make a video about pros and cons of ICL?
Even eye doctors need eye doctors
I love your video it’s so good
I never had these problems. Eye drops etc don't sting as much as an eyelash in the eye. Dilation just makes things look really bright to me, but I take along those sunglasses that fit over glasses that look like goggles, they block light really well.
For sure! I usually keep a pair or two of the dilation sunglasses in the car just in case I forget my regular sunglasses.
I need to renew my glasses prescription, but have been putting it off due to being way too poor, and I remember how much I hated being tested. What you described at 6:45 is what I remember having to do as a kid, and I absolutely hated it, which is probably why I don't like having things near my eye, and just seeing an image of that machine with its blue light gave me PTSD.
I have Nystagmus that only affects me when 1 eye is closed or covered. Needless to say the balloon gives me a ton of anxiety for this exact reason. So many years of doctors getting impatient with me for not being able to concentrate on the balloon when it’s totally out of my control. Thankfully people are a lot more understanding these days though.
not me trying to read the reading cart behind you out of sheer curiosity. Does it say "Believe in things you can not see?" Cause if so that's a great eye chart.
I couldn’t make out the last 2 lines. Thanks..
@@xVxHELLOKITTYxVx of course lol
@@xVxHELLOKITTYxVx- Me too. I even got out my 5x loupe that I use for checking for dead pixels and it didn't help.
next time i do next checkup/updated glasses, imma take some sunglasses just in case, waited 30 in my car after process, ordered food(1 min away) , 40 min pass by after exiting eye place and still had trouble driving back home
I didn't know about the alternative to pupil dilation. Next time in I will see if there is one in the office I visit because it takes way too long for my pupils to come back to normal. I laughed all the way through this video it definitely was funny!!
i’m so high rn i love this guy
About 5 or 6 years ago I flunked the school eye exam for the first time. (Probably my 10th grade year but I'm not sure) and I am VERY happy to say I never had to get my pupils dilated! Both times I've gone, it's been the pictures (if I'm thinking of the right thing, I know the last time she showed me the picture of my ocular nerve) and it wasn't even a fancy doctor or anything, it's a little rinky dink family business in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere SW Pennsylvania!
There are a few brands of wide field cameras to take a picture inside of the eye without dilation. They are a huge convenience but there are still medical conditions and scenarios where dilation is recommended and still standard of care.
Perfect presentation ❤
Thank you! I appreciate that!
the noise is the biggest issue with the glaucoma test...the loud bang before that puff of air.
That was great!!
Glad you thought so!!! Thank you
I know about the hot air balloon and the barn house, but I’ve never heard of one with the Christmas tree
I always get anxious with eye exams. What’s worse is that this time the refraction test was inconclusive in terms of my myopia progression (-8.75). What does that mean when it’s inconclusive? With the prescription I have from last year, I can’t see very well but when looking through the phoroptor, I also couldn’t see well. It’s frustrating.
Hey fellow near-sighted friend
Lol😂 battery acid!
Feels like it some times lol
I’ll have to look up Brewstew.
(I was hoping it was Dr. Glaucomflecken)
Haha Dr Glaucomflecken is pretty awesome! Hope to collab with him soon.
Does anyone else notice what that eye chart spells out? Believe in things {Blurry} Oh shit! Do I need glasses???
Being someone who was interested in optometry, I Question why not pair the dilation with the Wide field imagery machine to get a more accurate image?
oddly enough for me i hate the puff test more than the prism one
I would come out of early retirement to work for you!!! I did not have many problems with giving tropicamide drops to my patients, except my 6'2" little brother. I had to put his lower lid on the floor and step on it, then pull his upper lid over his head. What a big baby he is.!!!
On children or just anxious patients, I would have them lean their head back, close their eyes and I would drop them in the corner of the closed lids, then tell them to open....drop goes in and they did not see it coming at them. It was great!!!! I loved using the optos too! I spent the last 5 years in the lab and running, measuring patients for their glasses, helped select the perfect frame for the prescription. Etc. I hated teaching people how to put in their contacts though. I was cross trained for the clinic so that I could just jump in anywhere I was needed. I miss my patients but not how toxic the staff relationships had become.
I’m so used to these items which makes me laugh reaction. I’m working too, lol I’ve been doing this I stuff since I can remember since birth. 🤪😱👀 can’t remember any instrument other than my surgery that something touch my itself note can’t recall. Die die later liquid testing it just makes everything really really bright for me.
Lol the flag he was holding at the end. Imagine if different types of doctors had BEEF with each other. 😂😂😂
I actually just watched Brewstew's video and youtube said check out this real eye doctors video. I was a little kid the last time I had my eye dilated, so don't remember much, I wen to my current office for about 30 years now, I am not sure what he did other than looked inside with a big magnifier thing. I also never had the air puff test, probably around the age of 30, he used that super accurate test you mentioned, I never minded it much, he always said I did really good with it, that a lot of people don't like it. A few years ago he retired and his son took over his patients as they worked together 20 years or so. and last January was the first time he used the new "gun" that tickles.
One thing I really miss from this video, the old doctor used to do until he got older, and I guess less steady, or could not see well enough, was the taking out my contacts, and putting them back in. He'd do better than I could, and I am blind wearing -8.00, and at one time I think I dropped to -9.00 and putting them in in a strange place it not fun, not when he was so good at it. That's the only thing I would change about my current doctor.
Doctor, can you please tell me what you think about acv diluted with water as eye drops for surfer’s eye??
What about the brand-new machine? The one that you put both eyes and it shows images or some split green red with black letter.
My Cousin was a victim of Childhood cancer, and it was discovered, by his Eye Doctor. And well cancer itself isn't something you ever want to find, what made my Cousin's case stand out is the specific type of cancer he had, normally (as in 95% of the time) isn't discovered until it's way too late to do anything, so I give full props to his doctor, my Cousin did eventually lose his life in this battle, but because of his eye doctor finding his cancer, it allowed him to live 8 years longer then he would have otherwise, and he helped in how scientists are fighting this cancer now in ways that I think make him close to a saint. Say what you want about the eye doctor, but I have a lot of respect for them because of this.
Now, I grew up in the 90's as well, and I definitely remember hating going to the eye doctor at times depending on who my eye doctor was. now, as an Adult (and a pilot) I'm basically on a first name basis with my eye doctor because I see him yearly. and when I showed him both this video, and the original video, he about died laughing. so full props to you and Brew Stew for that.
I've put off my eye exam because of Covid but I need to make an appt. Question: My dad has AMD and he stopped having exams because there was nothing they could do for his vision. Is it a good idea for him to still get an exam even though he is legally blind?
I would love to go to the eye doctor, but I have to get an appointment 3-4 months beforehand. The ones I have been to before were absolutely under time pressure, rushed me through everything. Weren't very pleasant visits.
That is always so frustrating!! Our clinic can get super busy too. Wish our medical system was better.
When i was watching another doctors channel he was watching brewstewfilms i was laughing
1:00, yeah I can confirm, I wear my daylies for a week. otherwise its just costs to much.
I’m not a doctor, but from experience, I know that if you often sit at a desk with a window next to it, big frames, make it really likely for the sun to bounce off the back of your lens and right into your eye causing annoying glare. That’s why I recommend smaller lenses that are closer to your eyeball. you obviously don’t want them to be close enough that your iris is touching the lens. when you’re trying out different frames, I recommend using a flashlight (you can use your phone’s flashlight) and testing to see if it’s possible to shine it in such a way that the light bounces like that to find the best frames for your head.
The advancements made have really improved. I still don't like the glaucoma test though lol. Just anything like that up close to my eye. But, I've had good experiences with my eye exams. I make sure to go annually.
haven't been to the optometrist since like, 2015, but he said I had better than 20/20 vision(?) sooo 😎
4:39 bullshit It’s noncontact every time I had to do one of those I felt like JFK in Dallas. 😂
😂
You'll love the on when he was a kid. Would have been great to do both back to back, it makes the improvement here have more impact.
The last time I was at the eye doctor I had my eyes dilated AND had to get the backs of my eyes photographed. I feel ripped off. 🤣
I do appreciate the changes in how things are done now. The only thing I don't like is the eye drops, because I can't deal with things on my eyes. I would never be able to wear contacts. Sometimes I'll be sitting in the chair and imagine myself jumping up and running around the place like Cartman when he had to get a shot.
My experience with the Eye Doc has always been Good and they had the Machine with the Christmas tree in it.
The christmas tree is such a rare instrument!
8:54 I would also like to say that attempting to read text after your eyes have been dilated is an absolute nightmare. The letters appear so small and blurry and it’s very difficult to type 😭
I had to do the yellow eye drop thing with the blue light thing it scared the shit outta me it was my first time doing that seeing that come at my eye to touch it was scary
I have to have my pupils dilated because my cornea is partially reflective due to all the glaucoma surgeries I have had and the wide field photography doesn’t work for me
Hey hope your doing well DR allen, how can i contact you for questions about eye alergys with pollen😢
I have small black dot inside white part of my eyes .what can i do to romove this
The eye dilation drops is the reason I had a phobia of eye drops and avoided contacts for so many years
He is the doctor Mike of eyes
I haven’t been to the eye doctor since 6th grade
I liked getting my eyes dialed because I already have big pupils and when my eyes were dilated it looked like there was no more color just pupil
In 2020 i lost over 70% of my vision due to non-symptomatic, undiagnosed diabetes, causing retinopathy. It was as if someone turned off the lights in my eyes, like a switch was flipped. Over the course of 3 1/2 years, I have become almost an expert with the equipment used at the ophthalmologist and the glaucoma scene (with the air puff) is the funniest to me, it took me back to the “FRIENDS” episode when Rachel had an eye infection and she kept dodging the puff of air. Funny stuff!
As an ophthalmic technician, can confirm!
Haha right! So many good things in this video! Does your clinic offer dilation or wide field imaging at all?
@@DoctorEyeHealth My clinic definitely does dilation, but no wide field imaging.
We do have multiple strengths of dilation, like 0.5% Tropicamide, 1% Tropicamide, and 2.5% Phenylephrine w/ 1% Tropicamide especially in the retina clinic. Sometimes our patients would request a lower strength dilation because they don't want their vision to be that limited for that long.
I never tried to fool the first machine
I recognize this guy's voice! He sounds like the guy who shares swimming pool info, Swim University !
I didn't get a hot air balloon or a demon. Mine was just a super bright little blue light. I feel cheated
Haha you wanted a balloon or something scary??
@@DoctorEyeHealth anything but that light lol
@@DoctorEyeHealth I have angiod streaks and druising in both eyes and have to get injections in both eyes. I have a genetic disease called pheudoxanthoma elasticated ( pxe) it's super rare , have u heard of it or treated anyone for it ??
Cool we know where some limatil space images come from
The eye-puff test puts a lot of strain on my back.
Just bending or hunching over?
Ugh, I am still avoiding going and I my eyesight has gotten pretty bad in my old age.
I have Discoverd something Weird whit my eyes, when i cover my right eye it is lighter color in my left eye and when i cover my left eye it shows dark color. So my question is if you know anything about it?
I have a question my eyes turned white and started glowing one night when I was walking down the street and I could see in total darkness and everything was kinda a blue tint is this a normal thing?
What are those things at 11:46 that look like hairs?
Do more brewstewfilms vidz
You really need to check out his first video on this
You may not like double bridges now, but wait until you see the lead singer of Sabaton absolutely rock his double bridge sunglasses
A man/woman/other of culture I see !!
Jesus Christ! You just unlocked like 79 new fears in me through this video alone! Mom! This is why I can never be a doctor! I almost pass out whenever he shows a picture of an eyeball! Shut up about me wanting to help people as a kid! F**k that! I wanted to be a magical healer not a surgeon!
😄 I wish I could be a magical healer too
Hi Doctor, an oftalmologist diagnosed me with posterior polar cataracts, is that dangerous for me? (im 35 years old)
