Question: neighbor sprayed some liquid on my dogs face. Dog got acute glaucoma from it, had to remove both eyes. (Not immediately) have any idea what chemical could do that and what my chances are of seeing him in jail?
Why are you telling people to ask their doctor if they should take this supplement when, as you said yourself, “i've never heard of this.” so you should know that doctors don't know sh*t about it?
@didamnesia3575 I'm so sorry what an awful thing to do! I can only guess it may have been toilet bowl cleaner or something containing sulphuric acid 😢
Personally I would trust you over any local doctor in the medical field... I almost lost my sight completely... I told my doctor all my symptoms and she gave me lipitor! I didn't take it... Instead, went on a plethora vitamin injections, vitamin d, alpha lipoic acid, nac, glycine, vitamin a... lutein, astaxanthin, zinc, copper, magnesium, potassium etc. Thanks to you, my eyes have restored to almost 20/20 vision in just 8 weeks... I am not making this up... I'll be forever grateful. Thank you so much.
@@MiteshDamaniaI went through years of an abusive marriage... cortisol was a runaway train, which became chronic stress, then my abusive wife set me up after a cardiac arrest, leaving me on the street. I was depleted, literally, but coming back leaps and bounds now 😊
@nancyk5203 Yes, lack of vitamins caused by extreme cortisol overload... blurred vision, very slow eye movement or adjusting to surroundings, pressure at back of eyes, almost loss of colour or colour confusion, hazy white clarity, brain fog etc.
I started taking Astaxanthin about a year ago and noticed an immediate change to my night vision and dry eye. It's something I use on a daily basis now. I also sent my son a week's worth to try for himself. I should ask him about it, but I will also send this video to him. Thank you for making your viewers aware, Dr. Eye Health! I am 62 yrs old and not on any prescription meds!
An important FYI: As a medical professional, it is important that you do not neglect to include negative effects of anything you are presenting as a remedy or preventative measure. While fairly rare, an allergy to astaxanthin and other carotenoids like cantaxanthin can be a big problem for some people, and in high doses it can cause stomach pain. It is also not recommended to take it with blood thinners, cholesterol medications or immune support medications.
Thank you for reviewing the studies on Astaxanthin. I started taking 12mg daily 11 years ago after getting some bad sunburns on glacier climbs. Also before taking I had noticed some ocular rosacea symptoms during the winter months when indoor air is very dry. As a software engineer, I spend 12+ hours 5-6 days a week staring at screens. I haven't had a bad sunburn since I started taking Astaxanthin and my eye symptoms have also improved. (Though your other video on Omega 3s makes me think taking an Algea Omega 3 supplement also helps prevent dry eye.) Another side benefit of taking Astaxanthin for 11 years is that I appear to be somewhat tan year-round even in cloudy Seattle. If it's enough to turn farmed salmon from grey to pink, it is likely doing that to my muscles and fat as well but at least the whites of my eyes are still white.
Ok and what about it? If you read rewievs on a specific supplement, some helped the majority who took it, they were only a few who it not helped. It can be reverse. Sad or not, need to keep trying
I love astaxanthin for my dry eyes! Restasis is now generic and Good Rx makes it reasonably priced! It definitely helps but has a few systemic effects! I also use a heated eye mask and sterile free eyedrops. Thx for the info and continuing research on dry eye!
Thank you for being an honest doctor and telling us about alternatives to pharma. I no longer go to MDs because they have become glorified pharmacists, for the most part.
Hey thanks. I have always had an interest in lifestyle, diet and supplements. Medications are important and there are times where they are preferred. But I have seen too many patients on 100+ medications, just to leave them feeling sick.
Same here! I agree, and I feel very sad for all my friends who put their trust in the medical field and have good reason to now regret it. I guess some people have to learn the hard way.
Actually, pharmacists know more about prescription drugs than doctors do. If I get a prescription filled, I always ask the pharmacist about the medication, the dosage I got, how to best take it, what other meds or foods it might interact with, and possible side effects. All that is often in a package insert in 2point type, but I can’t read that. A few times she has suggested that I ask my doctor if he really meant the dosage or instructions he gave me. I had one doctor who automatically prescribed vitamin D3 50,000 units for all her patients over 55years old. That seemed high to me, especially with no deficiency symptoms. She didn’t include K3, which is necessary with D3. I asked her why so much, and all she could say was, “I think it’s a good idea.” That was my last appointment with her. The pharmacist had raised her eyebrows when she saw the prescription. She didn’t want to contradict the doctor, so she just said, “You might want to look into this.” I had a smart doctor years ago. He died. I haven’t found a good one since.
Awesome! I've been waiting for more info on this! I do like having Salmon in my diet but nowadays you really have to vet your options and make sure it is fresh caught not farmed.
@@jnewman1718 From what i've heard, the farmed fish are in small tanks, not particularly well fed, & end up eating what's in the bottom of the tank, if you get my drift. Also, the food they do receive is cheap & therefore lacking in nutrients, so the farmers can make more profit. Unfortunately, it's all about the money these days...
@@jnewman1718 Farmed salmon are fed grains, which they eat because they aren’t given anything else. Their meat is much less nutritious than wild salmon. Also, farmed salmon are raised in super-crowded pools of water where disease can travel from one to another, so they dump loads of antibiotics in the water, rather than clean it. Their flesh is full of antibiotics which are not good for humans to eat.
Farmed salmon are fed grains. They are raised in large pools in extremely crowded conditions. Grains are not their natural food, but they eat it because they are not given anything else. As a result their flesh is not nutritious like wild salmon flesh is. Kind of like the difference between grass-fed beef and corn-fed beef. The pools of farmed salmon are overpopulated, and the fish can’t swim freely. The water becomes extremely dirty with fish feces and urine. The fish can become diseased being raised in these conditions. Instead of cleaning the water and putting fewer fish in the pool, they dump loads of antibiotics into the water. So the flesh of farmed salmon is full of antibiotics, which are not healthy for humans to consume. Because farmed salmon are not fed a correct diet, they do not turn pink. To get them to be pink so people will buy the farmed salmon, they put chemicals into the water. Wild salmon are naturally pink because of their natural diet. Long story short, wild caught salmon is better for your health and for the environment. Unfortunately, it’s more expensive.
I accidentally found this in Hawaii two years ago. I picked it up for inflammation in my knee after MCL/ACL surgery. It really seemed to help and I took it diligently about taking it, then got lazy. My knee started flaring up more often….I’m back on track now. I’ll pay more attention to how my eyes are affected as well.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I too had ACL surgery (Back in highschool). And sadly I occasionally trigger it when I push myself athletically. Cheers.
Thank you Doc for providing a very informative video on astaxanthin! My eye doc mentioned I am in the beginning stages of cataracts. Am doing research on supporting eye health. I want to try astaxanthin:)
I learned about Astaxanthin from Dr. Mercola 20 years ago. I stated taking it and the first thing I noticed was the whites of my eyes became brighter. It is kinda expensive. Probably good to get from wild salmon and wild saltwater shrimp.
@@DoctorEyeHealth - I tell people Dr. Mercola saved my life because he told me about the importance of vitamin D. I worked the night shift for 13 years and must have been massively deficient in vitamin D because when I took D3, it hit me like a bus. He helped me take control of my health just like you helpe people take control of their health. Thank you for that. Dr. Joseph Mercola is a physician and New York Times best-selling author. He was voted the Ultimate Wellness Game Changer by the Huffington Post and has been featured in several national media outlets including Time magazine, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, Fox News, ABC News, TODAY, and The Dr. Oz Show. His mission is to transform the traditional medical paradigm in the United States into one in which the root cause of disease is treated, rather than the symptoms. In addition, he aims to expose corporate and government fraud and mass media hype that often sends people down an unhealthy path. Some people really hate this doctor, but he saved me.
@@steve9189- Dr. Mercola is a hero to humanity. Being a superhero spreader of vitamin D is something to be proud of as a doctor. Only the uncouth ignorant can’t fathom this.
I'm 35 and I've been taking astaxanthin for the past 15 years. Since 2018, I've been taking 4mg-12mg every day. I now plan to take it ever single day and possibly increase my dosage.
Great vid. I've been taking astaxanthan 12 mg too. My favorite vid part is to hear how u were looking at eye supplements in the store. I do that frequently too.
I’m 66yo and for years have taken Astaxanthin, Zeoxanthin and Luteine as part of my “vital” supplement stack., so far no cataracts, dry eye and 20/20 vision… I’m sure that won’t last but any delay is good. [I also stare at a screen all day, and parents and siblings all,wore glasses]

I have been taking lutein for years. Using castor oil on my lids and lashes for months. Started astaxanthin a few weeks ago. Now I regularly want to take my progressive glasses off when doing ANY up close work, like reading or knitting. Do I need new glasses or should I wait a few more months? This years prescription was zero change from last years prescription.

@@lucyvaughan7757 Castor oil has been a hot topic over the past year as a beauty product. Many claim it helps thicken and lengthen lashes as eyebrows. It does sound like some people truly do get some results. I have not personally tried it because I only have one eye and will not do anything to risk my vision, even tho it appears to be harmless. Nothing is worth messing with my sight. But I have used it on my skin and it seems to be a nice moisturizer.
maybe I'm trippin' out here, but I used to walk through a park (at night), it's a path I took to get home easily and I used to always had to turn on my phone's flashlight to get through the park... Now I no longer need the flashlight but can see at night easily... It's freakin trippy man (and also amazing). I think I took astaxanthin for maybe less than 1 month to notice this result.

I have been using astaxanthin for over a couple months , I definitely feel that it help with my MD , severe dry eys . Just trying to find out how long I can keep taking it .
My opthamologist came across as way too eager for me to have cataract surgery. It was creepy, so i postponed it for a few months. I've been taking Leutein suplements with Astaxanthin for over a year. Apparently, the supplements aren't working.
Maybe try a different brand. So many companies have now been compromised, but there are still a few who won't cave. KUDOS for following your spirit & not having the surgery done!
Hey thanks for sharing. The challenge is that once cataracts have formed these types of supplement wont reverse it, but they may help slow down the formation in the first place. What is holding you back from wanting the cataract surgery?
If your doctor uses the InflammaDry diagnostic and you are POSITIVE , this means you have inflammation on the ocular surface. I am consistently inflamed. This supplement works for me and reduced my symptoms quite noticeably. It also helped my digestive issues.

Hey Doc, is that affiliated link "Sports Research" the brand you're using?? I have chronic dry eye, dont eat seafood either so want to try to supplement this and would trust whatever one you use.
Hey thanks! Yes, that is the brand I currently use. I do eat seafood myself a couple times a week so I only take the supplement every other day or so. But the research in one dry eye study used 6mg twice per day. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8792747/
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks, I'm gonna give it a try! I also work on a computer screen all day and read books a lot as well so I tend to have pretty bad eye strain.
The problem is that there are 100s of studies showing some benefits of antioxydants for eye inflammation. But we also know taking high levels of antioxydants for long periods of time might have negative effects such as increasing risk of cancer (which to make it even more complicated may vary wildly by individual antioxydant). So unless we have something really targeted for the eyes, we can all just swallow 10 pills a day randomly, I'm not sure this is the right strategy.
I agree! I also prefer to try and optimize my diet first before relying on supplementation. That is why I only take a supplement of astaxanthin every other day or so. I am trying to cover interesting research on various vitamins/supplements and diet as it is something I find fascinating and something that is not traditionally taught in school for eye care.
Dr what are your thoughts on Manuka and Jimerito honey drops, I have Keratoconus in both but my left eye is the worst one. I had the cross linking surgery in my left eye and developed an infection that caused a scar in the middle of my cornea everything looks whiteish.Steroids gave me glaucoma so a transplant may not be an option. I wear a Scleral lens and it does help.
Question ... have you come across a condition where the lower lids no longer close upwards meeting the upper lid, therefore, causing dry eyes? And is there a solution other than surgery?
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks. Some tested the uv flashlight, and the rayban failed but this was around 5 years ago on youtube. The paper darkened so it means the uv passed though the lens. I dont know which one is accurate the machine or the uv flshlight using the photo paper or paper dollar bill for testing uv protection of rayban sunglasses. I already searched many time here on youtube but its hard to find an accurate tests of rayban sunglasses. Some failed some passed the test.
So, if part of the definition of Cancer is cells that are not apoptotic, meaning they do not self destruct when they are supposed to, wouldn't something that's anti-apoptotic be a carcinogen?
"astaxanthin has been widely studied in the last years, both in animal and human models, showing neuroprotective, cardioprotective and antitumoral properties, together with promising results on skin and eye health promotion, suggesting its therapeutic potential for the prevention or co-treatment of diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer, Parkinson, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and glaucoma, among others." The anti-aptosis property makes it neuroprotective by avoiding neurons dying after a trauma, such as stroke or photooptic stress. It's probably cancer protective, but who knows why. Perhaps because it reduces oxidative stress.
Potentially yes, that's why beta carotene supplements increased cancer, it's wild to see doctors recommend other carotenoid supplements without any earnings about risks
Gelatin astaxanthin supplements are typically made from a combination of astaxanthin (derived from microalgae, such as Haematococcus pluvialis) and gelatin, which is usually sourced from animal collagen (like cows or pigs). The gelatin serves as a capsule or delivery form for the astaxanthin. Some products may use plant-based alternatives like vegan capsules made from agar or cellulose for those avoiding animal products.
I eat salmon at least 3 times a week. I also ate it as part of a low carb diet a few years back but notice too much with my eyes. I still have cataracts and dry eye.
Check this out. They did a study which proved that 2 ounces of pistachios a day for 12 weeks greatly improved eye health (I believe it increased the health of the macula).
Nice video btw I have questions doctor My eyesight was -1.25 and because of COVID I started using my phone too much and know iam at -5 my doctor gave me atropine for 6 months and my eyes start hurting me when I exposed to light and also I start seeing floaters too much is that normal
Hey thanks! Atropine can cause pupil dilation which can let more light in, leading to light sensitivity. It can also change thay peripheral light rays focus on the retina. Which may make floaters appear more often. However, if anyone sees a sudden development of floaters, it is best to consult a local eye doctor asap. Out of curiosity, when you get your eyes examined and get a new glasses prescription, does your doctor dilate your eyes?
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you for the response, Doctor. My doctor does not dilate my eyes before the examination he just do the business directly anyway Thank you very much for your response

Hello! I hope I'm not bothering you and this might not be related to the video but I have few questions. Last night I used artificial tears (Santen, OCUTEARS HYDRO+ 10 ml) and after putting it in my eyes started to itch and burn for a few seconds. And then surprisingly only the corner of my left eye (the corner where my nose is) became slightly red or more like I saw a red line appear. It disappeared after some time but I really don't understand why it did that. It didn't happen before. I checked and the artificial tears were clear. It didn't seem discolored. Sometimes it did have bubbles in it but my mom said that it was because I used it already and now it's filled with a little oxygen too. Why did it happen? I won't lie, I'm paranoid. I'm a little scared of using it now. Do you think it's okay to use? And since when I putted it in my eye it dropped into the corner of my eye at first and then it went into my eye perfectly after I turned my head a little, could it be possible that I accidentally washed a little irritant into my eye and that caused that little redness?

And i only done puff test and the doctor looked into my eye with his rooms microscope with a light and said it has no problem and that presure is ok, but I forgot to tell him that my mother and grandfather had glaucoma but in 50, so no i am worried and dont know what to do, another doctor said you should check 6 months to know if optic nerve damage or anything but i dont know shall i believe them, wouldn't that be too late, and i had blurry vision 2-3 times in past 6 months i am a medical student studying hard on ipad for 15 hours with a lot of stress which may be also contributing. I dont know what to do. And is there anything working like eating bluberry or anything . Qill i be precribed with iop eye drops? Are they for life? Do they have side effects? If this pressure lead me to glaucoma in my 20s will i get blind by 40s? And please i have one more question in the next two weeks i am going to check my eve pressure again with the GAT and corneal thickness measure and if my pressure was still borderline shall i accept the doctors advice to not take any treatment and just keep checking 6 monthly or shall i start taking iop lowering drops if he said? Wouldnt it be bad to start taking drops from my age and with knowing the fact that drops have side effects.. And wouldn't it be risky to just leave it as it is and wait until it damages the nerve and when that happens Then start taking treatment as some doctors say. i wish i could visit you because my case is rare in Iraq and the doctors tell me it is nothing, but i cant be confident. And I can't visit doctors abroad as I am Iraqi. I am so worried about what to do next. I truly appreciate it if vou can reply
Astaxanthin comes from algae and is plant based . Salmon have astaxanthin due to ingestion of the same algae . So no need to eat salmon to get it . Better to take Algae based vegan astaxanthin. Same goes for omega 3 as well . Fish don’t make omega 3 . They get it from algae . So better to get it from algae as a supplement rather than from fish . Cut out the middle man .

Farmed salmon are fed grains, which they eat because they aren’t given anything else. Their meat is much less nutritious than wild salmon.
Also, farmed salmon are raised in super-crowded pools of water where disease can travel from one to another, so they dump loads of antibiotics in the water, rather than clean it. Their flesh is full of antibiotics which are not good for humans to eat.
Farmed salmon are fed grains. They are raised in large pools in extremely crowded conditions. Grains are not their natural food, but they eat it because they are not given anything else. As a result their flesh is not nutritious like wild salmon flesh is. Kind of like the difference between grass-fed beef and corn-fed beef.
The pools of farmed salmon are overpopulated, and the fish can’t swim freely. The water becomes extremely dirty with fish feces and urine. The fish can become diseased being raised in these conditions. Instead of cleaning the water and putting fewer fish in the pool, they dump loads of antibiotics into the water. So the flesh of farmed salmon is full of antibiotics, which are not healthy for humans to consume.
Because farmed salmon are not fed a correct diet, they do not turn pink. To get them to be pink so people will buy the farmed salmon, they put chemicals into the water. Wild salmon are naturally pink because of their natural diet.
Long story short, wild caught salmon is better for your health and for the environment. Unfortunately, it’s more expensive.
I accidentally found this in Hawaii two years ago. I picked it up for inflammation in my knee after MCL/ACL surgery. It really seemed to help and I took it diligently about taking it, then got lazy. My knee started flaring up more often….I’m back on track now. I’ll pay more attention to how my eyes are affected as well.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I too had ACL surgery (Back in highschool). And sadly I occasionally trigger it when I push myself athletically. Cheers.
Thank you Doc for providing a very informative video on astaxanthin! My eye doc mentioned I am in the beginning stages of cataracts. Am doing research on supporting eye health. I want to try astaxanthin:)
I learned about Astaxanthin from Dr. Mercola 20 years ago.
I stated taking it and the first thing I noticed was the whites of my eyes became brighter. It is kinda expensive. Probably good to get from wild salmon and wild saltwater shrimp.
I don't know of Dr Mercola. Are they someone local or are they online at all?

I tell people Dr. Mercola saved my life because he told me about the importance of vitamin D. I worked the night shift for 13 years and must have been massively deficient in vitamin D because when I took D3, it hit me like a bus. He helped me take control of my health just like you helpe people take control of their health. Thank you for that.
Dr. Joseph Mercola is a physician and New York Times best-selling author. He was voted the Ultimate Wellness Game Changer by the Huffington Post and has been featured in several national media outlets including Time magazine, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, Fox News, ABC News, TODAY, and The Dr. Oz Show. His mission is to transform the traditional medical paradigm in the United States into one in which the root cause of disease is treated, rather than the symptoms. In addition, he aims to expose corporate and government fraud and mass media hype that often sends people down an unhealthy path.
Some people really hate this doctor, but he saved me.
Famous Dr @@DoctorEyeHealth
He's known as the "Misinformation Superspreader" if that helps with his credibility.

Dr. Mercola is a hero to humanity.
Being a superhero spreader of vitamin D is something to be proud of as a doctor. Only the uncouth ignorant can’t fathom this.
I'm 35 and I've been taking astaxanthin for the past 15 years. Since 2018, I've been taking 4mg-12mg every day. I now plan to take it ever single day and possibly increase my dosage.
Thank you SO MUCH❣May GOD bless you for blessing us 💖
Same to you!
I agree. Astaxanthin in Antarctic Krill Oil has made it easier for me to focus on things far away.
Thanks so much, Dctr! I ordered the astaxanthin you recommended and will get it tmrw. I despise my dry eyes and hoping this helps!!
Just ordered my Astaxanthin. I hope it helps my dry eye, which gets much worse as we go towards the cold weather.
How did you do with the Astaxanthin?
Looking forward to your dry eye recommendations.
Isn't it amazing that our bodies are so individualized?! Of course, it's confounding too.
Great vid. I've been taking astaxanthan 12 mg too. My favorite vid part is to hear how u were looking at eye supplements in the store. I do that frequently too.
Nice , thanks your content is helpful
Glad you think so! Thank you
Looking jacked doc!!!
💪💪thanks dude!
I take it daily 12mg. for anti-aging and antioxidant protection..Good to know it’s helpful for eyes as well..
I’m 66yo and for years have taken Astaxanthin, Zeoxanthin and Luteine as part of my “vital” supplement stack., so far no cataracts, dry eye and 20/20 vision… I’m sure that won’t last but any delay is good. [I also stare at a screen all day, and parents and siblings all,wore glasses]
what about skin and overall "younger looking benefits" of this...? did you noticed anything like that?
More videos on eye floaters please!!!!
I have my condition. It's uveitis / glaucoma together I would like to know what is good
❤VERY FASCINATING, SO GLAD YOU RESEARCHED THIS! PLEASE SEND LIST OF EYE SUPP. YOU TAKE, I'M HAVING EYE SURGERY AGAIN END OF MONTH- WOULD LIKE TO ASK EYE TEAM ABOUT STRENGHTENING EYE HEALTH NOW & IN FUTURE...😅 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU'RE DOUNG!❤ THANK YOU

Would you consider a video on NAC drops?
(N-Acetyl Cysteine)
They have helped a great deal personally then were taken off the market unless it's for animal use.

I hadn't heard of this one so I'll check out drug interactions and maybe try it. Can you speak to the recently approved "orphan" drug Visomitin?
Fascinating! I had not read much up on this. (doing quick pubmed search) - will dig into it. Thanks!
Worth a try here, not heard of this one before either. thx
I have been taking lutein for years. Using castor oil on my lids and lashes for months. Started astaxanthin a few weeks ago.
Now I regularly want to take my progressive glasses off when doing ANY up close work, like reading or knitting.
Do I need new glasses or should I wait a few more months? This years prescription was zero change from last years prescription.
There's a guy on TH-cam that does lab testing go watch that video. He shows that many brands actually had much less astaxanthin than they claimed on their label
This is a very good point. Some brands hardly contained any Astaxanthin at all.
That is a good point. It is hard to know sometimes. What is the channel?
I would also like to know the channel
I don't know the channel but I did find this article @@DoctorEyeHealth. I've been taking it for a few months. I think I'm starting to feel a difference with my eyes, but before that I noticed a difference in very quickly with myoverall energy and health.
What’s the name of the channel?

💪💪 haha thank you!
My dad was a retired ophthalmologist I heard Castrol oil can cure vision which I completely laughed at but for the last six months I am button Castrol oil on my face and eyes , It’s the craziest thing I am back to 2020 vision it’s unbelievable I cannot believe Castro oil cheered my vision but it absolutely 100% did , the great awakening is coming the truth about everything awesomeness ahead😄😎 PS I am speaking 100% truth it absolutely cured my vision after six months
How do you use castor oil on your eyes?
@@bme7491I hope folks see the joke! But you are right; makes one wonder if someone knows what they are talking about if the spelling is off in a crucial way.
You got the malapropism. Bonus points to you!@@bme7491
That's what I was going to say. Making an awful lot of typos for someone claiming to have perfect vision 😊@@lucyvaughan7757
@@lucyvaughan7757 Castor oil has been a hot topic over the past year as a beauty product. Many claim it helps thicken and lengthen lashes as eyebrows. It does sound like some people truly do get some results. I have not personally tried it because I only have one eye and will not do anything to risk my vision, even tho it appears to be harmless. Nothing is worth messing with my sight. But I have used it on my skin and it seems to be a nice moisturizer.
maybe I'm trippin' out here, but I used to walk through a park (at night), it's a path I took to get home easily and I used to always had to turn on my phone's flashlight to get through the park... Now I no longer need the flashlight but can see at night easily... It's freakin trippy man (and also amazing). I think I took astaxanthin for maybe less than 1 month to notice this result.
This is awesome..thank you 😊
My ophthalmologist recommended lutein and astazanthan….i have been taking it for 15 years…also, I recently replaced wine with fresh orange juice….
I simply love astaxanthin... valasta astaxanthin is the best
What separates valasta Astaxanthin from its competitors like bioastin? Valasta seems a bit more expansive than other brands, what makes valasta superior?
Thanks so much for this video! I suffer from dry eye and am always looking for something to help. Speaking of which, are you familiar with the Regener-Eyes drops? If so, I would love to know your opinion! TIA!
Very interesting, thank you!
Hi Joseph, thank you for all your videos. It has helped me better understand my MGD and also RCE. I came across NovaTears Omega 3 eye drops and noticed on the box it states that this drop is 'antimicrobial'. Can you please let me know what it means that the NovaTears Omega 3 eye drops is antimicrobial? Thanks
Have taken it for

I have been using astaxanthin for over a couple months , I definitely feel that it help with my MD , severe dry eys . Just trying to find out how long I can keep taking it .
My opthamologist came across as way too eager for me to have cataract surgery. It was creepy, so i postponed it for a few months. I've been taking Leutein suplements with Astaxanthin for over a year. Apparently, the supplements aren't working.
Maybe try a different brand. So many companies have now been compromised, but there are still a few who won't cave. KUDOS for following your spirit & not having the surgery done!
Hey thanks for sharing. The challenge is that once cataracts have formed these types of supplement wont reverse it, but they may help slow down the formation in the first place. What is holding you back from wanting the cataract surgery?
Dr can I take nordic naturals omega 3 for life time as it has improved my dry eyes symptoms ??
I take this for leg swelling and have seen a dramatic lessening in the swelling in my legs. 24mg/day for 2 years now
Thank you for this.
Which anti oxidant is better for eye cataracts Astaxanthin or N Acetyl Carnosine ( L Carnosine ) ? Can we take both ?
If your doctor uses the InflammaDry diagnostic and you are POSITIVE , this means you have inflammation on the ocular surface. I am consistently inflamed. This supplement works for me and reduced my symptoms quite noticeably. It also helped my digestive issues.
I've been taking anstaxanthin along with lutein and omega 3. Not sure if it helps or not but my dry eyes seem at least manageable now.
Love hearing that! Are you doing anything else? Warm compresses?
@@DoctorEyeHealth warm compress. Eating better. Exercising a lot more. One thing I'd recommend folks is to not get old. Tends to help not having aging eyes

Hey Doc, is that affiliated link "Sports Research" the brand you're using?? I have chronic dry eye, dont eat seafood either so want to try to supplement this and would trust whatever one you use.
Hey thanks! Yes, that is the brand I currently use. I do eat seafood myself a couple times a week so I only take the supplement every other day or so. But the research in one dry eye study used 6mg twice per day. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8792747/
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks, I'm gonna give it a try! I also work on a computer screen all day and read books a lot as well so I tend to have pretty bad eye strain.
Thank you sir ❤❤❤❤❤
The problem is that there are 100s of studies showing some benefits of antioxydants for eye inflammation. But we also know taking high levels of antioxydants for long periods of time might have negative effects such as increasing risk of cancer (which to make it even more complicated may vary wildly by individual antioxydant). So unless we have something really targeted for the eyes, we can all just swallow 10 pills a day randomly, I'm not sure this is the right strategy.
But taking some drug that could do even more harm is cool with you is that what you’re saying you sound like you’re part of the medical field
@@patriciarussell1177 no, I'm saying the opposite, that you should show caution and avoid multiplying supplements and avoid high dose
I agree! I also prefer to try and optimize my diet first before relying on supplementation. That is why I only take a supplement of astaxanthin every other day or so.
I am trying to cover interesting research on various vitamins/supplements and diet as it is something I find fascinating and something that is not traditionally taught in school for eye care.
Dr what are your thoughts on Manuka and Jimerito honey drops, I have Keratoconus in both but my left eye is the worst one. I had the cross linking surgery in my left eye and developed an infection that caused a scar in the middle of my cornea everything looks whiteish.Steroids gave me glaucoma so a transplant may not be an option. I wear a Scleral lens and it does help.
Question ... have you come across a condition where the lower lids no longer close upwards meeting the upper lid, therefore, causing dry eyes? And is there a solution other than surgery?
Is Astaxanthin the same thing as zeaxanthin ? I take Eyepromise Restore and it has the z in it.
No, it’s different.
No, they are different. They do sound similar though. Zeaxanthin is also very good for the eye.
Please test the uv protection of rayban wayferrer and clubmaster
Sadly my UV light meter at the clinic is not functioning. However, I am relocating to another clinic in a month so perhaps I can use theirs.
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks. Some tested the uv flashlight, and the rayban failed but this was around 5 years ago on youtube. The paper darkened so it means the uv passed though the lens. I dont know which one is accurate the machine or the uv flshlight using the photo paper or paper dollar bill for testing uv protection of rayban sunglasses. I already searched many time here on youtube but its hard to find an accurate tests of rayban sunglasses. Some failed some passed the test.
Is asthaxanthin the same as xanathan or zxanathan ?
So, if part of the definition of Cancer is cells that are not apoptotic, meaning they do not self destruct when they are supposed to, wouldn't something that's anti-apoptotic be a carcinogen?
I was wondering the same thing
"astaxanthin has been widely studied in the last years, both in animal and human models, showing neuroprotective, cardioprotective and antitumoral properties, together with promising results on skin and eye health promotion, suggesting its therapeutic potential for the prevention or co-treatment of diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer, Parkinson, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and glaucoma, among others."
The anti-aptosis property makes it neuroprotective by avoiding neurons dying after a trauma, such as stroke or photooptic stress.
It's probably cancer protective, but who knows why. Perhaps because it reduces oxidative stress.
Potentially yes, that's why beta carotene supplements increased cancer, it's wild to see doctors recommend other carotenoid supplements without any earnings about risks
Is zeaxhantin similar in eficacy?
Will you be or have you done any videos on arcus senilus? Can it be reversed/removed?
I have mentioned it in a couple of videos but nothing on it specifically. I will see if I can make a quick short video on it tomorrow.
The Areds 2 formulas have much lower levels. Where do you get supplements at the higher level?
Val Asta is the highest quality astaxathin product period.
Can i ask? What is Gelatin Astaxanthin made from?
Gelatin astaxanthin supplements are typically made from a combination of astaxanthin (derived from microalgae, such as Haematococcus pluvialis) and gelatin, which is usually sourced from animal collagen (like cows or pigs). The gelatin serves as a capsule or delivery form for the astaxanthin. Some products may use plant-based alternatives like vegan capsules made from agar or cellulose for those avoiding animal products.

What about the mercury in the salmon.
Check this out. They did a study which proved that 2 ounces of pistachios a day for 12 weeks greatly improved eye health (I believe it increased the health of the macula).
Is there any benefit to taking 6mg twice a day spaced out rather than 12mg once a day?

Nice video btw I have questions doctor
My eyesight was -1.25 and because of COVID I started using my phone too much and know iam at -5 my doctor gave me atropine for 6 months and my eyes start hurting me when I exposed to light and also I start seeing floaters too much is that normal
Hey thanks! Atropine can cause pupil dilation which can let more light in, leading to light sensitivity. It can also change thay peripheral light rays focus on the retina. Which may make floaters appear more often. However, if anyone sees a sudden development of floaters, it is best to consult a local eye doctor asap.
Out of curiosity, when you get your eyes examined and get a new glasses prescription, does your doctor dilate your eyes?
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you for the response, Doctor. My doctor does not dilate my eyes before the examination he just do the business directly anyway Thank you very much for your response
pls improve sound of the video (for example it's too quiet in comparison to other videos)
Hey thanks for pointing that out. I will have to ask my editor if something changed. I know I had to change my microphone for this video and a few others due to a broken part. Hope to fix it in the next few videos.
I feel higher pressure in my eyes when I take an astaxanthin pill. Not sure what that means.

Hello! I hope I'm not bothering you and this might not be related to the video but I have few questions. Last night I used artificial tears (Santen, OCUTEARS HYDRO+ 10 ml) and after putting it in my eyes started to itch and burn for a few seconds. And then surprisingly only the corner of my left eye (the corner where my nose is) became slightly red or more like I saw a red line appear. It disappeared after some time but I really don't understand why it did that. It didn't happen before. I checked and the artificial tears were clear. It didn't seem discolored. Sometimes it did have bubbles in it but my mom said that it was because I used it already and now it's filled with a little oxygen too. Why did it happen? I won't lie, I'm paranoid. I'm a little scared of using it now. Do you think it's okay to use? And since when I putted it in my eye it dropped into the corner of my eye at first and then it went into my eye perfectly after I turned my head a little, could it be possible that I accidentally washed a little irritant into my eye and that caused that little redness?
Link for Europe ?😊

Dear doctor please please answer i am so worried i am 22 my eye pressure right side is 19 and left 23. And i only done puff test and the doctor looked into my eye with his rooms microscope with a light and said it has no problem and that presure is ok, but I forgot to tell him that my mother and grandfather had glaucoma but in 50, so no i am worried and dont know what to do, another doctor said you should check 6 months to know if optic nerve damage or anything but i dont know shall i believe them, wouldn't that be too late, and i had blurry vision 2-3 times in past 6 months i am a medical student studying hard on ipad for 15 hours with a lot of stress which may be also contributing. I dont know what to do. And is there anything working like eating bluberry or anything . Qill i be precribed with iop eye drops? Are they for life? Do they have side effects? If this pressure lead me to glaucoma in my 20s will i get blind by 40s?
And please i have one more question in the next two weeks i am going to check my eve pressure again with the GAT and corneal thickness measure and if my pressure was still borderline shall i accept the doctors advice to not take any treatment and just keep checking 6 monthly or shall i start taking iop lowering drops if he said? Wouldnt it be bad to start taking drops from my age and with knowing the fact that drops have side effects.. And wouldn't it be risky to just leave it as it is and wait until it damages the nerve and when that happens Then start taking treatment as some doctors say. i wish i could visit you because my case is rare in Iraq and the doctors tell me it is nothing, but i cant be confident. And I can't visit doctors abroad as I am Iraqi. I am so worried about what to do next. I truly appreciate it if vou can reply
I hope there is a vegetarian and seafood-free supplement.
Astaxanthin comes from algae and is plant based . Salmon have astaxanthin due to ingestion of the same algae . So no need to eat salmon to get it . Better to take Algae based vegan astaxanthin. Same goes for omega 3 as well . Fish don’t make omega 3 . They get it from algae . So better to get it from algae as a supplement rather than from fish . Cut out the middle man .
@@saritakumta5958 Thanks. I hoped so. I take vegan omega and I will look for vegan Astaxanthin.
