Dry eyes are a common side effect of LASIK surgery. The eye relies on a thin layer of tears to keep it moist, and LASIK surgery can disrupt the tear film, causing dry eye symptoms such as burning, itching, redness, and blurred vision. There are various treatments to minimize the discomfort associated with dry eyes, such as lubricating eye drops, dry eye masks, and in more severe cases, medications and therapeutic procedures.
While this video focused on dry eyes treatment proven to help with post lasik, these treatments are also helpful in all forms of dry eye syndrome.

Thank you for making such informative videos. I have been suffering from severe dry eye over the past year. My eyes are very damaged. I have found that not a lot of health professionals understand the disease or take it seriously. Thankfully I was able to find the right clinic and I am now using all the treatments described here except for the plugs and the autologous serum. Your videos have been a source of hope and a great education. Thank you so much ❤
Thanks Again. Everything my personal MD did not mention. I have You and others keeping up to date Appreciate it. God Send.
Many many thanks for educating us about our eyes 👀👀.
I listen to this guy all the time and when I went to see an opthamologist this guy is right on! The guy I went to see was a total jerk. I paid to have him tell me what I already learned from this guy. I never went back! This guy on the video is totally awesome and very knowledgeable. Thanks Dr.
Amazing video, thank you so much.
Very informative video. Thank you for being transparent about your involvement with pharmaceutical companies or other service providers. I wish other experts were as forthcoming in their representations of medical treatments. Too often experts, and not just experts in the medical field, do not disclose potential conflicts (key word being potential) of interest. Always enjoy your videos.
Hey thank you! I appreciate that. I am constantly trying to evaluate the ethics of this social media world and how I engage with industry. No matter what, I know I want to stay transparent and I also don't want to be a poster child for some companies products (especially prescription things). I feel it would degrade trust. Thank you.
Thank you for making this video. It’s always amazing to know how much we don’t know about our own bodies.
Don't get Lasik. That is the best way to avoid dry eyes.
You're the best🙏
dry eyes is the worst the compress tip you mentioned helps so much another great video
Yes! Thank you! Glad to hear the WCs have helped!
Thank you for such a helpful video
My pleasure 😊
Love the red light challenge tip💖💖💖
haha thanks! Hope it helps!
This is an incredibly well-made video. I had lasik March 3rd, 2023, and everything went well. I'm currently dealing with dry eye and ended up in the Optometrist's chair 3 weeks post-op due to dry patches forming on the cornea which blurred my vision. All well now, but the dry eye post-Lasik is no joke!
When did it get better for you?
@@_alysonh The dry patches cleared within 5 days by using drops min. 8x/day. My Optometrist said I need to use artificial tears no less than 6x/day for up to 6 months post-surgery. I've been following her guidance and my eyes feel great. My night vision has also improved drastically by using the drops more frequently throughout the day.
@@jennag5715 love to hear that for you! I’m 5 months out still dealing with the dry eyes. I’m using the drops every hour just to keep my eyes hydrated. I’m hoping that is normal to still need them that much this far out.
@@jennag5715 whatbdrops did you use?
@louiser6155 I use HydraSense eye drops, the "long-lasting relief for dry eyes" kind - Although I'm sure all kinds would work. They work great
As an ophthalmologist who had LASIK, I can confidently say that my dry eye was waaaayy worse when I was a heavy contact lens wearer. ❤
Great feedback! Yes, contact lenses do increase tear film evaporation so I am not too surprised! When did you have LASIK?
@@DoctorEyeHealth hi
How long does it take for the dryness to completely go after smile?
Do you feel dryness eye White 6 months after lasik ?
Did you have to use prednisolone eyedrops after lasik surgery and if you did for how long.. My Lasik surgeon wanted me to use them for 3 months I told him the drops were making my right eye blurry when I did research info said it should only be used for 1 week or it would cause problems to the eye.. This question is for 2699 Thanks...
@@mrdrejonn In our practice we do not prescribe prednisolone drops routinely after LASIK. Probably in your case your physician considered it a necessity
I have dry eyes, I use Refresh gel drops 4 times a day. Then at night I use Refresh lubricant at night with paper tape to keep my eyes shut at night. Paper tape is cheap and doesn't take out any eyelashes. I put tape from under eyelashes to cheek (not across eyelashes like on the diagram). Only one piece. Works great.
Thank you for this! Have you ever seen redness in ONLY the inner corners of the whites (from inner corner to the iris)?
Thanks!
Wow you rock!!! thank you!
Not had Lasix yet but was thinking about it.
I’ve had lasik and suffered from dry eye after the procedure. What helped was eye drops in the vials and drinking …LOTS of water.
Thank you for the Nocturnal Lagophthalmos product recommendation! There are very few products out there for this condition but it is a HUGE pain and contributor to dry eye.
Nice Video.
Many many thanks
Thank you for acknowledging dry eye after lasik. I had so many eye Drs I went to deny that was a thing after it happened to me after I got lasik 10 years ago. I never had dry eye before lasik.
Absolutely! No, clearly dry eye after lasik is well documented in the research and some people do experience neuropathic pain after the procedure. Do you think you had dry eyes even before the procedure?
@@DoctorEyeHealth I didn’t. That’s why I am so adamant it was the lasik. It’s been a long time but I don’t recall being told how essential it is to use eye drops afterwards like you mentioned and they did it twice. I’m excited I found a dry eye clinic near me I’m going to seek out more focused help.
I've had dry eyes about 10 years but have found sun & very brightside I was very young. I had cataract surgery a year ago after years of contacts. I use drops but one eye seems dryer & the other has more tears which overflow the lower corner. Is there a way to balance this? Learning a lot from your videos.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my ❤ I got lasik and my eyes got so dry after one week and I was following what the doctor told me but nothing was helping until I found your video I am feeling so much better thank you ❤
Wht are you practising for dry eyes now
Where do I get the sleep right sleep tight eye patch? Thanks
Wow, this is right on time. I had lasik 6 days ago. Ive been curious if I can do more than what I've been told to use/do already. Thanks for the upload :D
Excellent! How did the procedure go? Have you been pretty happy so far?
me too had Lasik week ago but now I'm having red eyes from morning can even take bright lights. last night I just went walk
@@karthikeyandc How are your eyes now? Did the symptoms decrees or fully go away?
Thx doc. Stay blessed. This upload is for me. Got dry eyes after my lasik in November 2022.
Best of luck! Hope it helps!
@@DoctorEyeHealth 💯👍🙏
@@Lovememore231 ..that is a long time. Yeah I still got the dry eyes but not severe like from the beginning. Still using my tear eyedrops tho every morning as I got up don't want to hurt the cornea..but yeah I am still healing and it's 2024 already..All the best to you..
@@Lovememore231 ..will definitely do..thank you for your advice..most appreciated. 🙏
Should you not put artificial eye drops the day of assessment for dry eye?
Hi doc roughly 2 weeks post op i got s burning sensation in my eyes usually putting the eyedrops is this normal?
I’m curious as to whether Oxervate or Tyrvaya have been studied in the scenario of lasik-induced dry eye, especially because of the theory of it being a neurogenic etiology. Have you read anything like that, Dr. Allen?
Thank you for your great Opthalmological Expertises this helps us a lot.. No other Doctor can do what you are doing for your patients!...
Yes, I have dry eyes and I don't think I want any LASIK Laser.. I am using Systane Hydration Eye drops and also Systane Complete for the past 2 years and I feel good. I also take Vit D3 and Procard Omega fish oil supplements... Stay safe, happy and healthy Dr. Allen.. Thank you.
Hey thanks so much, Franz! Glad to hear things are doing well for you. I have been testing out Vit D with Omega supplements too and should have some content on that soon.
In 2013, I had bilateral eye cataract removal ,bilateral lenses implant. Since then, I have been experiencing dry eyes until this time. I have used system e yedrops, refreshed advanced drops also Limigan eyedropper prescribed by my EENT MD. Is any better eye medications you could suggest for me to try? Thanks.I would be glad & thankful to hear from doctor ❤
Is this video works for PRK surgery?
last week Wednesday I had femto Lasik. yesterday night I went for stroll with protective eye gear and from today morning my eyes are red and my eyes are not handling light from morning very well
Is the treatment can be applied for those operated in cataract too?
Have you considered making a video describing post-Lasik Corneal Neuropathy?
No he won't admit that's a problem with Lasik. He know's it's a problem but his people can't make money if he tells the truth
PRK vs LASIK, which out of two has more severe dry eye as side effect?
I discovered your channel a couple of hours ago... I have seen several of your videos - thanks so much.
Q: How is it that my right eye is practically 100% dryer than my left one?
Me too have u find a solution
After catract surgery can I get 20/20 vision by lasik. Now Im using spectacles for see.
Been Denied Lasik Surgery x10.So just gave up after as a healthcare prof that har had 4 CVA 4MI. Ocular wise had many major opthalmic changes despite environmental changes.
Yes. Both. Also have Hashimoto's and pterygium on both eyes. I was using restasis and punctual plugs and was happy. Now I only have only plug and haven't used restasis in years. I would also, do lasik again. Thank you
did you go any time without the plugs? how much do they help?, im allmost on my knees begging my eye doctor to put them in, he doesnt want to do it.
4 years post Lasik and the suffer is still ongoing 😢
try decrease screen time
????? Can multi-focal lens replacement cause MGD? Looking to have this procedure? have mild dry eye now, but only when wearing contact lenses? Good content thank you :) from the UK ??????
Very informative. if you can discuss the impact of multiple eye or ocular procedures on dry eyes. For example:
Dry eye after Lasik. Then upper blepharoplasty surgery (eyelid numbness -upper and lower- is evident from nerve regeneration post surgery). What risks are then of undergoing lens replacement surgery for increasing/worsening dry eyes?
I ask as since Lasik (monovision) My presbyopia is driving me nutd. I basically live in my entire day in reading glasses for work. I can't even read a food label without taking a photo and zooming in. Decided as a 60yr old with the start of cataracts (and entire family who had cataracts) to get the lens replacement. Last minute b4 the procedure the surgeon said Lasik caused scarring and my vision might remain blurred, so called it off. Only positive was now knowing that the bright blurriness I see when reading (frustrating at eye exams to explain I can see the letters but there is some light refraction in the middle of the letter) and the type of glare from oncoming car lights, is due to the astigmatisms. Canada has since approved the light adjustable lens, which I'm told will allow the adjustment of the prescription to try eliminate any bluriness from astigmatisms. I really want to do this RLE and be done with readers, and be proactive against future cataracts. Soo would love to see it explained in a similar fashion what compunded effects are from Lasik, to severing nerves in upper bleph, to a lens replacement.
Starting to think that the impact of Lasik corneal scarring on cataract patients are only going to come to the discussion as Lasik patients age.
I did have eye surgery. Cequ drops generic. Helps a lot. I always had dry eyes. Lot allergy my medicine to help me breathe. Causes me to have dry eyes. 👀 I am going to try the warm wet cloth on my eyes. I hope it for me.
Wishing you the best! Allergy medications do dry out the body and contribute to dry eyes.
I went to the clinic to see my ophtalmologist, who was also the one who did LASIK on me. She basically told me that the dry eyes were in my head and that I was fine. Yup. My eyes were super blooshot and had a visibly dry surface. But I was perfectly fine.
In late 1980, early 1981, Dr. Peter Arrowsmith in Nashville made 32 (!! Thirty-two!!) incisions in my right cornea and 16 incisions in my left cornea. That was called "Radialkeratotomy" at that time and it was done by hand using a diamond-tipped scalpel. I still have a LOT of problems with multiple images and dry eye. The only thing that has helped at all is Manuka Honey eye drops.
I never had dry eye at all prior lo lasik or my first lasik procedure. I then got PRK Lasik and org worse decision ever. Have had bad dry eyes at night ever since and it’s hard to ever get a good nights rest. So I’m really trying to find help :(
Vey Well Made Videos. Live in the Deep South after leaving Major Cities in Texas due to Marriage.
Ive had lots of Opthalmic Conditions. Because my Career is medical. So have tendency to have more exposure than most. So Im a horror for any MD with BSN that failed out of advanced medical hx.
Great information and love the fact you cite your findings. I just had Lasik less than 48hrs ago and can see perfectly in the distance now. However up close 😞 not so much, which was never a problem prior to surgery.. Hoping this goes back to 'normal'. Also my right eye is dry and irritated compared to my left, so I will keep a close eye on it.
Yes my myopia is very bad but I can see amazing detail up close. Did it go back to as before?
What happen now ?
@@Islandman776 It's still not as great reading up close as it was before however I can see fine.
@@blueseptember2174 Kind of. Not as great as it once was up close but if I have great lighting and hold my reading material at arms length I'm good. Best thing I ever did was get the LASIK.
I got SMILE surgery in Feb 2023 and in my case it’s the opposite. My left eye gets blurry and hazy while the right eye is normal. Also left eye feels more dried however as soon as I use artificial tears, the vision goes back to normal clear vision. So i’m guessing using artificial tears for atleast 6 months after surgery, should help stabilize the vision.
Pls give new update about eye floaters !!
Can dry eye cause headaches I’m post 6 months from latex
Thank you! I had the Smile pro a week ago and while it did get much better after day 1/2, now my eyes feel super dry and my vision seems blurrier than then. I have to admit I barely got any sleep because I've had a lot of night shifts and exams and probably should be less infront of a screen (mostly tho, it's just not realistic not try not to use your eyes in a regular day). I liked the evo hylo drops at first, but now they seem to make it worse - especially since they somehow make my eyelids/lines sticky. And trying to focus better somehow hurts my eye...muscles(?). Hopefully it'll all regulate by itself soon. Quick question: Since IPL seems to be helping, it couldn't really do much harm, right? I have an IPL devince that of course isn't made for any eye/medical issue but just for hair removal, but I noticed that even though yesterday I closed my eyes when using it on my legs, I still see bright red light through my eyelids. Before, I never even closed them (there's just a lot of light in the room leftover when you flash with these devices) - could this ever be harming the eyes? Or might having them closed even help a little bit?
Also! You have such a wonderful talking voice! You should make hours long videos of you just rambling about whatever and I'd listen to it all day 🙃😄
I had ICL as I wasn’t eligible for lasik. I’m not dealing with dry eye but unfortunately, well over 2 years after the surgery, I’m dealing with the other side effect usually associated with lasik: halos at night which makes night driving very difficult. I was wondering what your thoughts are on this.
There's a video by taran van hermert about this
Would glasses with anti reflective coating be helpful with your night driving?
U can use scleral lenses
I think my Ophtho rushed me into the procedure, and I’m pissed. He did the tear test and I was extremely dry 4 days pre-op. Then he redid it on day of but it was weird, it was only like a minute and I think he put some drops on it? My dry eye has been ridiculous post op, especially after sleep and it’s basically not letting me heal. I’m a radiologist so I am 1000% dependent on my eyes for my work, really frustrated now.
I have done smile surgery before 2 months, i have since, more after 1 month(because stopped cyclosporine drops)
Lasik over 10 years ago and have been having more issues with dry eyes. Also vision is getting worse.
I want lasik for my -2.75 and -3.00 prescription but the thought of having perpetual dry eyes or worse is a real turn off when I can almost sorta see without glasses
What about supplement designed for dry eyes, I am using fish oil. I feel drops just drains away the natural tears I found more relief after I stop using them. Maybe I wlll try the hyaluronic version. Also looking into Sea Buckthorn for supplement.
Great suggestions! yes, I have some content coming out soon all about omega and other supplements for dry eyes and other eye conditions. It has taken me awhile to prep as there is so much research to flip through.
Yes. I have been using eye drops. It’s dry eyes. And it happens for about the 1 year after lasik is what I read. But the dr never responded.
Does dry eyes affect mostly long distance vision? My short distance vision is good after lasik but my long distance vision fluctuates and improves for a short time after when I use eye drops or when I yawn.
How's radio frequency therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction?
Very good question! This is a growing area of research and I hope to have a video on it! However, as of now, I am not fully read up on it, so let me get back to you.
I had lasik eye surgery four years ago. I never had dry eye before and developed dry eye afterwards. One day my left eye went black for 20-30 sec and I got scared and saw my optometrist who looked behind my eyes and saw nothing also confirmed it wasn’t and eye stroke. I still had a healthy eye and 20/20 vision. Today I wake up and have a sharp stabbing pain in the same eye. I put warm compress, too fish oil supplements, eye drops, and castor oil and it has been shooting the pain on and off all day. Please do you have any suggestions? Do you think it’s more than dry eye🙏
I have dry eyes due to Bell's Palsy. Systane gel drops offers much relief.
Bell's palsy can be trouble. Do you have constant exposure? Eyelid taping often helps with nighttime exposure with Bells.
Me too. My left eye was really affected. My ophthalmologist put me on Xiidra and it's really helping.
Im so grateful for your video i had lasik 7 days ago, and all the side effects of the initial part of video i am having. My eyes have started hurting when i squint or touch it. When i tell my doc about it he said its dry eye, i never believe him 😅... so with the intention to see if he was wrong or right lol I increased the amount of eye drops i was using. I have now completed 2 boxes of sustane complete pf since surgery ..just yesterday i used two tubes all day and my right eye now looks like your cover photo for this video. But im so appreciative i came across your video, now i feel bad for not believing my doc you explained so well, i will add the warm compress and see if that helps with my symptoms. Thanks again😊
Hey! Thanks so much. I hope things heal quickly for you!!!
I got lasik almost a month ago my my left eye seems to be hurting , what the dr says could be dry eyes. Which is the best brand of eye drops? I am currently using bio true individuals and the the drops, which help but some days they don’t. any advice ?
Did this ever get better?
Do they ask patients if they have dry eyes before surgery?
i had LASIK a week ago. I didnt have dry eyes at all! everything was over after like 3 hours. my vision is almost crystal clear.
Hows your experience now
@@WayedM3 it's still getting better and better. right now i see razor sharp like 75% throughout the day. if the air becomes a little bit dryer, or if I am on my screen a lot, i see a little bit less sharp, but it still keeps getting better. so glad that i did it!
Hey, doc!
What do you think about Hylo Dual eye drops?
Never tried them myself but I have heard good things. Perhaps I can get some from Optase.
I love my Hylo Night Gel and I didn't know it had vitamin A! The Hylo Gel is a little difficult to get into the eye. I have tried Restasis, Tryvaya, and Xiidra but I haven't tried the IPL or Cequa yet.
Hi, does the Hylo night gel help your dry eyes?
@@MinhThu.buddhist Hi May, YES, it helps a lot by making it more comfortable with my lids closed and my eye mask. My eyes move and blink better.
Is Hylo night gel available in the USA?
Yes, it is. I find it online
This gel made me.feel like i had glass in my eye.i had to wash it out after an hr
Had PRK on one eye and LASIK in the other, LASIK went so much deeper into my eye and I'm just in pain all the time - dryness and pain, can't see well out of it... too many complications with LASIK imo, I pray for the day when my eyes feel normal
Same here I looked up and found Dr Hamrah. He supposed to be the best for treating Lasik complications.
I had PRk on both eyes
@@SG-dq5pj Looked him up, but I'm on the west coast - not sure what my options are out here. I went to a top of the line specialist and got just some of the worst clinical recommendations one could get given my lifestyle.
Why did you not do PRK in both. Makes no sense
I have tried all the medications that you have mentioned before 30:53 but still I suffer from chronic dry eyes
Hi why would my dry eye get worse after an electric heated eye mask. I used it one evening, it was as hot as i could bare, for 15 mins. Eyes severly dry that night and worse that usual also surface of eye stinging. Could dry heat from eye mask actually make inflammation or tear evaopration worse? Thats what it feels like? Please reply as this has perplexed me as i feel it should have helped
For some people, especially if they have rosacea, heat can be a trigger for inflammation on their skin and eyelids. Heat is usually really good for the meibomian glands but again, for some people it can make inflammation worse.
can you tell us about ocuvite eye vitimin or any similiar product with the active ingredient lutein ? i had dry eyes from contacts . this one product seem to help . no need for eye drops any longer .
Yes! I will have some videos on eye vitamins and other supplements in the coming weeks. Lutein has been studied specifically as as carotenoid which is known to be about 1000x more concentrated in the eye. It helps with free radical damage within the retina itself and may help with some conditions such as macular degeneration. As far as lutein on dry eye, I have not seen studies on that as much but maybe. I know other vitamins within ocuvite and similar brands have been shown in some research publications to have a benefit for tear secretion.
I started taking ocuvite 3 weeks ago and l never say one thing works but l have more moistire in my eyes and l also take thera tears too.
Good night everyone

Hello, my eyes have visible red veins caused by dry eyes. I’m on Xiidra and EYsuVIS for a week now. I use Refresh celluvisc, Digital PF and Relieva PF a few times a day too. Many of my symptoms are improving , except the red veins. 😢
Anyone who knows what to do , please help!
Hey May, the redness is a challange for sure. The veins dilate due to acute and chronic inflammation. Some eye drops can cause them to constrict and appear smaller for a short time but long term solution is to decrease the inflammation and treat the vessels directly. I find IPL (optilight) helps a lot of my patients, also sometimes use of amniotics and other medications help. How is Eysuvis working for you?
@@DoctorEyeHealth my doctor mentioned Lumify in case I need it occasionally. But I don’t even want to try it. I was on EYsuVIS for 8 days with Xiidra and other OTC PF drops. Blurred vision, dryness, photophobia have been improved slightly. Both my doctor and I decided to stop using it. Now I’m on Xiidra and others PF drops for 3 months until next appointment.
I’d like to know your opinions about autologous serum eye drops ( ASED)! I’ve read that it helps dry eyes and red vessels without side effects. Thanks !
Testa sis caused massive burning that would get worse with use. Had to stop.
The best treatment for dry eye, is change your life and go to live in a place with high humidity, that's all that is needed. It is not the cure, but symptoms improved a lot.
I had LASIK two years ago and its been a nightmare. Severe eye pain and migraines. Dry eyes and corneal neuralgia diagnosis. I was asked to do IPL but the person who was going to do it said I was darker skinned so it will look bad.
I use vital tears and mythprednisol Preservative free. And medications to control migraines.
I can’t use computer and photophobia is severe.
Wow its been 2 years for me too. The dry eye and migraines have been awful 😖
I have a bruder's mask. Every time I use it my eyes get really red from the heat, and very blurry where I can't make out the TV images very well. Is that normal?
The heat and pressure with those types of masks cause a temporary corneal distortion which will make your vision more blurry. The heat will encourage the blood vessels around the eyes to dilate and the eyelids may look more red for short time. Worth a discussion with your local doctor about their thoughts.
You could also try the TearRestore mask is it doesn't push on the eyes and cause that distortion.
I had Lasik, never wore contact lenses, devloped glaucoma because Doctor give me drops which containt steriods, after stop using drops which conatint steriods and using only atrifical tears and eye ointment my vision totally got blurry due to dry eyes, as i had allergy and i was taking anti histamine ( causing dryness) even after stop using anti histamine, Still todate sometime i wake with up very inflamed eyes. finding hard to focus on near objects. with my busy life style working with computers and driving most of time i feel LASIK is not a good option to go with. I would say get LASIK if you really need.
I had lasik 3 years ago. At first I had 20/10 vision then after a few months then years after, my right eye regressed significantly and doctor said it was because of dry eye syndrome.
He prescribed me preservative-free eye drops and I've been using it for 3 years. I think eye drops doesn't work for me.
Doc, should I have another lasik enhancement even I'm still suffering from dry eye syndrome to improve my eye grade? Thanks
For God sake, don't get a second surgery,you will suicide
Try liquid MSM eye drops , organic if possible .
Corneal nerve damage after lasik? Do you suggest a different procedure for vision correction or is Lasik still the safest?
I've heard PRK is safer than Lasik but I'm no optometrist
Safe just like the jab.
Ortho-K, the non-surgical (reversible) treatment for vision correction.
They all damage corneal nerves! Don't be fooled.
I had LASIK 5 days ago. I experienced dry eyes since my first pregnancy, and Im really worried I’ll end up with dry eyes forever 🙈 I wanted lasik a lot, but this was a concern and still is. The worst part for me is the blurry vision from the dryness
How is it now???
Eyes have never been the same after lasiks, regret it to this day. Dry eyes is terrible
That always breaks my heart to hear. What is helping you the most so far?
I've been thinking about getting LASIK for my birthday but I already have dry eyes, I'll stick to my glasses and contacts. Don't wanna risk it.
I have an eye that's so dry it affects the vision in it. It feels as if the glands are dead. It's dry 24/7. I had Lasik in '03. I can't find anything that really helps.
Serum autologus
I got Lasik in March 2023. I had dry eyes before my surgery. Now a year later from my lasik my dry eye is worse. I've been doing eye drops: refresh omega, xiidra (current), and retaine at night. I have an eye mask but it falls off. I'm very discouraged. My eyes are fuzzy and blurry all the time.
I went with the Bates method to deal with Myopia.

You will definitely want to see a local doctor to have it diagnosed, but for many people with redness, I find the IPL (optlight) procedure helps, also anti-inflammatory medications can help.
Yes, I do get dry eyes occasionally and I have had lasik surgery. But I also had dry eyes prior to the lasik surgery. I could never wear contacts because my eyes were just too dry.
I have also dry eyes after lasik, I am 2 months post op, how long time do you have dry eyes ? Is it better after 6 months ? Or more
@@sabrinanina7747 No, I still have to use Sustane eye drops.
@@Angiehere-1how much drops per Day ?
Hey! I already have dry eyes & planning to go for lasik. Can you pls share your experience?
@@sabrinanina7747 Hey! I already have dry eyes & planning to go for lasik. Can you pls share your experience?
It's about 80 days since I did femtolasik.I'm suffering from dry eye,floaters and blurry vision mostly at nights.I wish It was 3 months before and I would never ever do lasik...
Me too, I always regret this terribly choice. I d lile to die, dry eyes and burning are not bearable for me
Hey doc i was only 18 when i done my femto lasik surgery, it's been 6 days now and my vision is still blurry up close and very far..... Is it normal, did i done lasik too early❓
How is your condition right now. Can you see clearly?.
Just after a week of surgery, my eyesight was the best, i could see things very clearly from a long distance. But 3 months post surgery, i started realising that the vision is no more the same. I have dry eyes. It's been almost a year and the vision hasn't improved much, i still have dry eyes. I have a doubt, normally post surgery, the two most common problems are dry eyes and refractive error. Since my vision did improve just after the surgery, that means i don't have refractive error, but i still do have dry eyes issue. Am i right at this deduction or i may have refractive error issue???
im also in a similar spot my dryness increased ever so slightly at 3 months, tho might also be something else, nerves take 6-24 months to fully regrow for prk and 6 months to 5 years for lasik im praying for you, the dry ness sucks and blurry vision sucks, im only 3.5 months post op atm tho so im staying positive. consider moisture chamber glasses they realy help me with comfort. im also nagging my local eye doctor to put in those damn punctual plugs, he is against doing it saying they will just fall out, but next time im gona be a pain in the ass and ask him to do it once again.
Same
@@ericstorm6554 sorry to hear that bro, I'm going through the same situation. Last week i went to my doctor and he said it's just dryness and my vision is 6/6. It was quite unsatisfactory, but I don't think i can do anything. They didn't find anything serious or concerning after the retina test. Now I think I'll have to deal with it myself.
What about nutrition for treatment?
Love this topic and I should have something coming within the next few weeks.
Can I do my facial after one month of lasic surgery??
What are you doing with your facial hair?
Hey doc - OBSESSED with your videos. Thanks for all of this dry eye related information. I have an interesting situation that’s recently happened. 🧐
I’m blind as a bat with really bad myopia (-6.5) and have worn regular Acuvue Oasis contacts for at least 15 years. For some reason, I literally woke up one day and both my eyes were severely dry. Never any issues prior. I can’t tolerate my contacts anymore and I’m stuck with my glasses. I am dying to get my contacts back, but after about 5 hours of wearing them….major redness occurs that takes days to recover.
It’s been a few months, and I’ve been to the optometrist a few times and they’ve prescribed a couple of rounds of drops that didn’t work. Eye pressure is normal. No other medications other than one very interesting correlation that I fear isn’t discussed enough these days. I was using over the counter La Roche Posay adapalene on my face every night. This is a retinol and a fantastic skincare product!! However, I’ve read that retinols can cause dry eye issues. Have you heard of this issue happening to any of your patients? I stopped taking it 2 weeks ago, and still can’t tolerate my contacts. 🥺 For all of my the dry eye people - be careful with retinol and other skincare products!
Beauty creams, they ALL make my eyes dry and burn. Wish I would have connected the two years sooner.
Hi Doctor! Thanks for your video. I had lasik done 4 months ago and still suffer from dry eye. I have to use drops every hour still but I do work at a computer for my job so that is very drying. Before my lasik, I did wear contacts but never had issues with dryness so I was excited for my lasik. Unfortunately I am disappointed with the amount of side effects I’ve had (almost all of them)… and have become depressed over it… any advice on what I can do? I take omega 3 supplements, I use a eye mask, use my drops frequently… just worried the dry eye will never go away 😔
It will most likely go away, I'm almost 6 months in after Lasik and had the same problem as you until last month. All my side effects after 5 months went away except dry eyes but even that drastically improved. I still have dry eyes but now only need 1-3 eye drops per day to feel 100% (although I have a bit of redness at the end of the day).
According to google most people have dry eyes cured in the first 6 months but about a quarter take up to 1-2 years to fully recover from that symptom. Ask help to an eye doctor that is specialized in dry eyes to help you managing the symptoms and stay strong, one day the symptoms will be completely gone
@@prooheckcp thank you so much for your response! How long ago did you have your lasik?
@@_alysonh I had mine in October last year
@@prooheckcp thanks again for the positive response. It can be pretty upsetting reading all the negative comments that people have (which gives me anxiety it will never get better). I hope to be in your position soon.
@@_alysonh people searching for these videos are the ones still suffering from the side effects so it’s normal that most comments are negative. People with permanent damage from lasik are a way less than 0,1%, it’s just that some people take longer to heal
You should do the right thing and denounce Lasik and other forms of laser surgery. You know it's immoral, unscientific and life-ending in many circumstances.
what about some cucumber water?? i mean we use cucumbers on the outside of the eyes for cooling and relaxing. seems like whatever is in there the water may be very good to dab a little so the blinking is not as dry. the cucumber and cucumber water is also very good for the skin. if it is fresh cut and home grown there are not any pesticides and it seems a helpful free benefit from mother nature. dab some with a clean finger, and repeat. close eye for a bit to let it absorb. might work just as good as or better than most eye drops out there. some people may not have "advanced" medicine or eye doctors. not anything against your videos as they seem very informative and you seem rather nice. just came across this after having some eye issues from the computer.
Really hoping you can help me please - I had lasik surgery last Thursday - and next day thru Sunday at 5:00 pm the vision was awesome, I put Systane PF Hydration in my eye from lasik center - immediately my vision got very blurry and 5 days later my vision is very blurry and washed out after seeing Dr he said it was just healing - I dont believe it :( not a coincidence after putting that systane in my eye - also never thought to check exp date on package it was 2 months past exp date - I should have never put anything in eye my after surgery - Antibiotic and Steroid drops didnt cause any issues - I dont think this will get better what do you think ? Please help - thank you much
I too use expired eye drop wo knowing & my eye is very blur too. I stop all eyedrop & continue w the heat therapy. Before I sleep, I would use a cold spoon to sooth my eye , It takes sometime to get back to normal. No point keep going back to the dr. We ve to do a bit of research to learn from others too. Hope u get well soon.

Thanks very much Pat appreciate it - I did go for another procedure Dr scraped inside of flap - he put in a contact bandaid which I told him will not work then he floods eye with numbing drops six days later - eye is worse its ever been now also thinking the scraping changed prescription in eye so not good, just saw him again and he said flap is not right - maybe if he listened to me it would have been fine - thanks again for helping
