My father in law had the copper colored rings around his eyes and yes for sure he has liver issues, we made sure his regular dr became aware if it so they are keeping up with his bloodwork. Personally youve helped me a lot understanding and treating my MGD. We ❤ you Dr Allen.
I was honestly really confused and somewhat scared because I have different sized pupils, but it's only slightly and they don't differ when it comes to light exposure. So it's really good to hear that it's normal in my situation, so thank you for including that in this video!
I am so glad I came across your chanel and listened to the end. I have red eyes often, but the ophthalmologist didn't say anything thing other than having dry eye. I do have much pain inside the eye and it shoots to the whole side of the nose and ear. It's miserable. Thank you for this message!
Regarding anisocoria. I believe this can be vagus nerve related. I used to come in out of the sun to relative darkness and one pupil would dilate much more than the other. I noticed this and it went on for several years. On the less reactive side I also had a flat affect, darker circle under the eye and lowered palate/ uvula (cf the test in Stanley Rosenberg’s excellent book, Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve). Since doing a lot of vagus nerve techniques, the anisocoria and other symptoms have gone away (the circle under the eye is still slightly darker, I’m in my 50s so it may not completely go away). For anyone interested, I highly recommend the book mentioned above!
I got a concussion on the left side of my head recently and it caused me to have temporary aniscoria for about 24 hours. Went to urgent care, doctor barely looked at me or spent a little time asking me questions before sending me to the ER to get a CT for a possible brain bleed. When the ER doctor checked me out he actually took to proper steps and in the end decided I didn’t need at CT because there was no way I could have had a brain bleed from my injury. When I followed up with my pcp she said it’s normal for people to have 1-2mm difference in size of pupils. Just because they are different sizes doesn’t mean someone has had head trauma
Eye doctors don't make a thorough exam like this. I had spondylosis since at least 2019. My eye doctor didn't see anything but in my primary care doctor tests spondylosis was discovered on xray.
Take it personally and go after your eye doctor. Tell them off and reflect your rage on them . Make them feel you the least of your life. Make them remember what they did to you
I am genuinely impressed how he didn’t twist his tongue even once saying all those complicated words in detail or full form instead using the shortcuts or keywords . I rather keep this guy as my spoken English teacher
Thanks for sharing. Ironic how my allergies are at their worst and you break down a video explaining your health and the eye link between them. Looks like #1 dry eyes and #5 pinguecula are something I live with! Time to order some sunglasses to slow down my damage.
Hi Doc, my wife has small black spot on the white part (Sclera?) of her eye for years. Then last year, she had a stye and was given antibiotics. then we noticed the dark spot grew into a curved faded brown spot (Like a letter "C"). We had it checked by an opthalmologist, but she wasn't able to give a definitive diagnosis and referred us to a different opthalmologist which is very far to where we live.
My eyes have been changing. They were brown and now there starting to turn green. There supposed to be blue. It'll take years to get them there but I'm committed to getting my health back and turning my eyes there original color.
HI AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS. IM SO INCREDIBLY PROTECTIVE OF MY EYES. I DON'T EVEN WEAR MAKE-UP..THE ONLY THING I SUFFER FROM IS DRY EYES. THE EYES ARE VERY IMPORTANT. TO TAKE CARE OF
I never thought I had to worry about my eyes. No one in my family has had any eye issues. I have ocular hypertension and eye drops for that to keep my pressure down. One drop every night. I see my eye doctor every six months. I was also told that I have vitreous detachment that I had never heard before. My doctor stated that the vitreous had completely separated so that I don’t have to worry about it rearing the retina. What the heck? Now I worry about my eyes which I never thought I even had to think about. Great info.
It’s hard to say which was my favorite because it was all very interesting. I understand a little more now how people can see illnesses in someone’s eyes.
any update? I came down with it from a medication, Trileptal, I had to stop it and I'm still dealing with so many issues. liver issues is so scary, I hope so much your child is okay. I couldn't imagine having it as a child, I'm 20 and it's so terrifying. I hope it's all good
@@DoctorEyeHealth I am a GP and also incharge medical officer of National transport medical institute for my district. That's why I started to watch your channel and it helped me to do my work efficiently. Some of your videos I watched many times to have a good knowledge in opthalmology. Thank you.
@@benhuransala1136 hello, do you like "Ben Hur"? And can you telöl me how come most Drs don't seem to care , not examine properly, not want to help and "punish" one for what is disease, stress, slee-deprivation, fear from longterm mistreatmwnt in healthcare, and CPTSD Aspergers, which i inform them I have? I'd be very grateful and glad if you would be so good as to answer what you think. All the best to you.
So interesting! Such a great video! I always look forward to seeing that you tube notification that you have posted a video! Would be interested to hear about how systematic diseases can be detected as well through an eye exam.
Excellent video as ever! Very informative. Was actually looking to see if you would outline any possible small blood vessel damage, or something else, caused by diabetes. This was a great video though. Thank you!
Hi Doc, so thankful I discovered your channel. Thanks for making all these informative videos. Super helpful for someone who just got their first pair of glasses and contacts at age 50! Regarding Corneal Arcus, any concerns if I'm seeing a beginning of a gray ring around my dark brown eyes?
Welcome! Thank you so much. If you are seeing a grey ring form, it would be wise to ask your eye doctor to confirm what it is (there can be other conditions that look similar). Usually, corneal arcus in people older than 40 is considered fairly normal.
Thank you for sharing this information it's very helpful.😇🙏🏽🙏🏽 I was diagnosed with glaucoma and nerve damage to my eyes. QUESTION: Why does the sunlight, the computer, the brightness of a cell phone or television cause pain and irritate the eyes❓
I've been a subscriber for several years now and really appreciate the information you provide. I was diagnosed with a macular hole 5+ years ago (which has mostly corrected itself) and have had aura's since I was a teenager due to stress(?) I am getting older now and preparing for retirement. Last time I had my eyes checked they said I had a freckle on my eye which I was already aware of, and they proceeded to schedule me with 3 more visits within the year - not to mention forcing me to purchase 2 pairs of glasses. Yes, they have a scam going where if you buy one pair it will cost you a mortgage payment but if you buy 2 you have an extra pair you don't need and will never use for the same cost. Pardon the rant of a soon to be senior citizen.... As I age it seems like when I go to a doctor (of any kind) I feel more like I'm visiting a slimy used car or vacuum cleaner salesman! They go above and beyond to find any little issue, push any new drug, vaccine, or test they can dream up to extort more money from you and your insurance company. They make every excuse to find a reason to send me to a specialist. I mean I get it. I'm not a youth anymore but for crying out loud I don't make enough money to pay specialist co-pays for every little thing they think might possibly go wrong as I get older. I went to my GP last week for a well check and before I left, he had tried to push me into so many tests, vaccines, etc., that my calendar would be filled for the next 6 months - which coincidentally would be when I would see him again so it would start all over again!!! Many of these tests he had just performed in the past year!!!! What is going on with healthcare in the US? If it was necessary, I would consent, but it seems more and more as if they just want to waste my time and money so every physician within their network will get their equal portion of my money!!!! I've begun to feel as if I'm being fleeced by the US Healthcare System. I'd be willing to bet that if I were in the UK or Canada this would not happen because their healthcare is paid for out of their taxes not out of the citizens pocket on an as needed basis. I would never have imagined when I first started working that at this stage in my life after paying for health insurance since I was a teenager and seldom if ever using it- now that I need it the cost of insurance and healthcare has grown exponentially and all those years of good health and paying out to insurance companies has lined their pockets and I get no breaks now that I'm older!!! It's a rip off because I guarantee that if I were diagnosed with any terminal disease, they would say the same thing they did about my parents...too old and too frail to perform lifesaving procedures--just administer morphine to inhibit respiration and let them die peacefully. I've told my GP over and over again that whatever money I have saved for my retirement they aren't gonna get it. If I do have a terminal illness just administer morphine and let me go to sleep peacefully. He just doesn't seem to get it!!! I didn't work my entire life to hand over my savings to a doctor or hospital!!!! I'm not following in my parents' footsteps by refinancing my home to pay a hospital bill and end up without a home because you can't make the payments for all your doctor & hospital bills. It's not gonna happen to me!!!! When I die, I will die with dignity!!!
Hey thank you for sharing so much of your feelings and experiences. Sorry to hear you felt pressured to buy multiple pairs of glasses. I personally try never to push people, the whole hard sell tactic never felt right with me and is not the reason i went into eye care. My job is to take care of peoples eyes, not to sell glasses. The US healthcare system is ripe with problems. Mostly due to capitalistic business. The Healthcare system is not run by medical professionals, it is run by insurance industries and the people who own the big hospital systems. And they don't care about your health, those industries only care about your money. Even for the healthcare providers, their jobs are put at risk and the industries put increasingly more responsibility and pressure on those providers to see more patients (which they try to call "efficiency" and even charge more or do more testing). Medicine has shifted from being conservative about examination and treatment, to being TEST FOR EVERYTHING, for one reason, because if they miss something in the US, the legal system is very hard and a doctor will lose their license or at least get slapped with a big lawsuit (this is often not the case in other countries), and another reason i think testing is done at a high rate is but because if they do not, the insurance reimbursement for an exam is so low, that their income levels will drop and the clinic may go under. There is a lot more that can be said of this. But again I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and for your continued following of the channel. I hope life is treating you well otherwise.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thanks so much for responding and you are right the healthcare system in the US is a huge problem. I worked at the Corporate HQ of an international retail organization for most of my working life and as purchasing manager we were forbidden to take expensive gifts from vendors because, "Nothing is ever free." The same is true for healthcare services. I know that citizens of other countries pay taxes for the care they receive but those nations are in a much better position to negotiate those costs. As a US citizen I certainly believe that our costs could be better negotiated but because its capitalistic nature our costs are overly inflated. Also, most corporations enter into negotiations with insurance companies by saying this is all we want to pay out per employee now tell me what kind of coverage we can get for that amount. With that type of negotiation style, the only losers are the employees!
I have a swollen eyelid,, thought it was a bug bite but I noticed on the inside of my eyelid it was red. It feels sore when I blink. It’s been 4 days. Been doing warm compress not wearing my contacts and no makeup. If by Monday it’s not better I will visit a eye doctor. I’m hoping it’s nothing serious. This video was helpful, Thank you!
My favorite, or the closest to me is the last one. Trauma to the eye/ grayed out cornea. My mom has that. She ran through a glass door at age 3 and cannot see out of that eye.
Yes, my husband has one pupil smaller than the other. When lights are bright, his one goes small and the other goes big. It is very noticeable. He had his eye checked years and years ago and they were amazed at how different they were. They weren't concerned about it though apparently🤔 I have IIH so I get the swelling in the optic nerves with papiladema 😩 x Thank you for your very helpful videos 😊
@@DoctorEyeHealth I get a lot of pressure in my head from the excess fluid and have horrible migraines from time to time with loss of vision temporarily on the left side 😬 I had a lumbar puncture in February where opening pressure was 34.5cm CSF and closing was 20cm CSF. I can't believe that the brain can think there is a tumour and attack itself when there is nothing there 🤔🤣 Thank you for responding, your videos are very helpful. 😊
Your entire video was informative and helpful as always! I got a kick out of the pupils segment. So that’s why some people wear sunglasses playing poker!
I have glaucoma managing it with drops, all education re vision is of utmost importance ...windows to the world, thank you for the informative videos , from South Africa
Hello, doctor! Huge fan! I am 24 yrs old and my right eye is congenitally hyperopic. I even developed 'wandering eye' for my right eye. My local doctors say that it has become "lazy" and that there is no hope for it, so they never prescribed glasses for it (I use glasses for my left eye, which probably has irregular astigmatism, but the main prescription is -1.5 cyl and -0.25 sph). What should I be better doing about my right eye?
Hey thank you for sharing! An eye that is congenitally more hyperopic does carry a risk for developing amblyopia or “lazy eye”. It is sadly not as much of a problem with the eye as it is the poor development of the visual centers of the brain tied to that eye. Depending on how extreme the amblyopia is, your doctor may be right in that there is little that can be done. I wish I could offer more help but I can’t without an examination , best to continue with your local eye doctor. Hope this helps.
Great review! You seem to have left out the most common systemic disease affecting the eye: diabetes! a major cause of retinopathy and dry eye disease! Also severe arterial hypertension is often suspected due to optic disc edema and retinal hemorhages! Congrats and keep up good work
Haha thank you! Yeah I tried to keep things to what we can detect just by looking at someone - without the need for magnification or a dilated exam. But that will need to come up in the next video like this. Otherwise thank you again!
I have noticed as I age that the whites of my eyes have dulled. Is there something I can do to improve this? Could you do a video on this topic? I have enjoyed your very informative videos!
Hello Doc! New here and Absolutely love your channel. I have a condition called Keratoconus and had a doctor managing my care for the past 5 years. He just retired and I need to find someone in GA who is at least as good or an expert at managing my complex condition. Do you have any information on this subject or a video to share? Any recommendations of docs in my state or surrounding states?
Thank you, Doctor. There was a lot of great and helpful information in that video! I am a 71 yr old female. Thee months ago, I suffered a TIA stroke and an SHA aneurysm was discovered on the scan with contrast. I have an eye appointment coming up. Do you think that this any of the might be revealed on the eye exam? Thank you
Just found your video, and your video just made my day! (And happy subscribed your channel). I hope if you can talk about the difference between Systane Complete Eye drop and Gel Eye Drop. Currently, suffer minor dry eye to due exposure of dust and sun where I work, and found these two eyes drops recommend by different pharmacist in my area. Not too sure which one should I maintain it ..
I’d like to say, I love your channel. You’re always give such useful information in a easy to understand format. I was curious about your opinion on astaxanthin. I have heard some very exciting research about it.
Quick question. 57 yo femaile. Had glasses since 3rd grade for nearsightedness. Eyes progressed pretty quickly (like pop bottle thickness). Was told by eye doctor when I was in 8th grade that if I could wear contacts (semi-hard gas perm), it would help my vision from getting worse. Started wearing contacts in 9th grade which seemed to slow down the worsening of my vision. I've been wearing gas perm contacts ever since (a blessing not to have to wear thick glasses!!!). My vision is 12 & 12.5. During Covid, I worked from home & I switched to wearing glasses for convenience sake. Now I'm wondering if that was a mistake. Could switching from gas perm contacts to glasses have worsened my vision? Seems my vision has gotten worse (things aren't near as clear with glasses now). I also noticed that when I look out of my left eye only, things seem to bow to the left a little (imagine looking at anything vertical like vertical blinds, the corner of a wall, the edge of a portrait). Same when I look out of my right eye only (things bow to the right). However, when looking out of both eyes, everything seems to look okay...just not clear. Trying to figure out why of late that is happening. I also have floaters which are really annoying. Both parents and two brothers have had retina issues as well. Was told by eye doctor a year ago that I have the beginnings of cataracts also. Time for new glasses, but I'm thinking I need to see a new doctor that can deal with all of these issues. Any thoughts on the wavy vertical issue?
Could you do a show on Retrolental Fibroplasia? I was born 3mos premature in 63 and developed this from being in an incubator. They weren’t sure how much Oxygen had to be given and it damaged my eyes. This led to enucleation and a prosthetic. A few tips about social interaction would be great! I always have to deal with very rude kids, but the adults really take the cake! 🙄
Thank you so much for doing this video. I’ve been to at least for doctors and they haven’t been able to pinpoint my corneal ulcer. I’m guessing I have # 4 currently.
Very informative!! Thanks, I have been having eye fatigue . My eyes feels like collecting dust and I can’t rid of that itch!! They are no longer white but slightly red. Help!
I always assumed that the white ring around my iris (both eyes) was from cataracts. TIL that they are from high cholesterol (I have both). Thanks! I love your videos! Q: should I avoid cataract surgery until I have my Blepharitis/meibomian gland dysfunction under control?
Can you make an almost updated version of this detailing the information shown by the area surrounding the pupil in regards to what it’s supposed to look like and what the inner. Issue. Also how red/noticable Are the average nerves visible once, One would look to the far corner per se ?
Ok, at about age 45, I was working on a very toxic workplace. It was Monday morning & I was brushing my teeth. Suddenly, thick solid black lenses moved simultaneously from the outer part of both eyes & almost reached the colored circled part. I felt really dizzy & moved to the couch & sat down. Suddenly I was throwing up. I went to the emergency room, but they never gave me any clear answers as to it's cause. Never had it since. I am now 77. Any ideas?
I had Lasik done a few years ago. I broke my toe and after that I had a broken blood vessel in my eye. A floater showed up at the same time. The eye cleared up and the floater became less noticeable. My broken toe is causing scabbing at the top of my toe nail. The floater came back and there is occasional flashes in the eyes when I close them. I’m wondering if the nerves in the toes and eyes are directly linked. Also should I still be using after lasik eye drops or just any kind of saline eye drops.
#9 because both of my eyes got cornea abrasion do to having keratoconus an wearing sclera contacts lens On a warm day in California and the solution in the contacts dried up .
@@DoctorEyeHealth took 9 months of pred forte & muro128 to bring back 70% of my vision on my left eye .then the same thing happens to my right eye . still can’t see so I’m getting a cornea transplant next week. So I feel good thank you
Hello, Doc 🥰 Loved the video ✨ I have an extra red vein in the eye that never goes away (I think that is due to the bad use of contact lenses). I can't find info about this anywhere. Maybe a video about this, causes, if there's a solution, etc. could be interesting. Thanks for everything 🌟💜
Hey thank you for suggesting this! I too have a few extra red veins on the eyes from contact lens wear, it even follows the curve of the lens too. I will try to plan a video of what causes redness of the eye and how it can be treated.
I have a noticeable red vein that’s been in my right a few years. If I get a headache, the pain usually settles in that same eye. Should I be concerned?
Fist of all .congratulations for your carrier. I always wanted but I'm old . .thank you for your time and your help. Aldo information. All for helping us . Thank you so much. 💓
Thanks Doc. for your meticulous service as usual. That said, I have itching and tears in my eyes. What is these caused by? Peace ☮️ Love ❤️ from Denmark!
Hey thank you! In the eyecare world, we are taught that if someone has itching of the eyes, to think allergy or some hypersensitivity. I do have a video about eye allergies, ruclips.net/video/auhhD64BH18/видео.html
None of the conditions were my favorite. One of my eyes turns red as soon as i step outside or when the lights are bright, sometimes there's a little pain. It feels like my eye is strained and tired and I have no idea what's causing it. I've seen a few doctors and i was told it's dust or make-up but i don't put on makeup . One doctor in China told me to ignore it cause i see well. But i can't just ignore it. When i wake up my eyes are all clear and by noon I have a red eye, it feels tired and strained. I don't know what to do.
Thank you for all the information you shared. Because you are so awesome 😎 I heard you mention psoriasis. And how it affects the eyes. You are so right. I had psoriasis, after having shingles close to my eyes. My doctor prescribed the strongest antibiotic known to man. I knew I needed probiotics to replace the good bacteria 🦠 in my gut. However my Doctor and Pharmacist, didn’t know what to prescribe. Luckily for me I found a doctor Steven Gundry from Loma Linda, California. As one of our nation’s top thoracic surgeons and cardiologists he discovered that many of the surgeries he performed had no problems with the heart ❤️. They were caused by stomach issues. He set out to find why. What he found was his patients had a lack of a bacteria found in the lower gut. Other than a fecal implant there was no way to deliver the bacteria to the lower intestine. So he found a way to encapsulate it. I forgot to mention that I had suddenly developed PTSD at the same time. Thank God, I Accidentally 🎉found this amazing Doctor (Like You) on RUclips. He was being interviewed for helping people with the Coronavirus, before the vaccines came out. I didn’t expect the results I got. I just knew something was wrong with my biomes and my Doctors didn’t have the right answers… Amazingly after 30 days of taking, ( Total Restore) and (Bio Complete 3 ) the PTSD and psoriasis disappeared…. I also took a product called Lectin Shield (which was what I was originally looking for) not knowing what I needed. I think I should mention when I stopped taking the (Total Restore ) my psoriasis came back. I can tell you want to help as many people as possible. If you find anything else that is this amazing, please let me know. Thank you 🙏 again you deserve the best. God Speed, Raymond Kress
When you examine someone's eyes can you tell if they will have Retina tears or Retina detachment sometime in the near future or later ? What percentage of nearsighted with strong prescription will go on to have Retina tears ? Is it true that if you get on an airplane and fly with a Retina tear or detachment you will go blind ? After someone has had successful laser surgery to repair a Retina tear can they fly or should they continue to avoid flying ? 🤔
Wow these are all such good questions! I may have to make a video just about all of this. During a dilated exam I am usually able to see the retina well enough to see retinal tears or holes. Some people have thinning of the retina which can increase the risk of a tear or detachment and so we educate and watch those areas more closely. The higher the nearsightedness the greater the risk of RD, depending on the study there have been slight variations in the exact percentage, but I usually see it reported around if you are a -1.00 to a -3.00 diopters you are about 3x more likely to have a RD, if you are -3.00 to -6.00 it is about a 9x increased risk and if someone is over -6.00D then they have over a 20x risk factor. Risk for Myopic Degeneration is worse when over -6.0 though, 40x more likely. Air travel is associated with slight eye pressure changes but I have not seen any specific publication linking retinal tear or detachment to air travel, some anecdotal reports but nothing wide studied. The bigger concern is if a gas bubble was placed inside the eye during surgery, that may have more consequence. Ultimately, these are good questions for your eye surgeon or local eye care professional. Hope this helps.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Regarding air travel , If someone is traveling abroad and develops a Retina tear or Retina detachment , and chooses for whatever reason , to wait and have laser surgery when they arrive back home , can/will the person go blind due to any cabin air pressure , eye pressure issues regarding the untreated Retina tear/detachment ? Someone I know traveled abroad and had a Retina tear , elected to have laser surgery at home rather than treat the Retina tear before getting on her flight and returning to her home country . When she returned home she realized she had lost permanent sight in the eye with the Retina tear and was told if she had had the laser surgery before her return air travel her sight most likely would have been preserved . Apparently had something to do with cabin air pressure , eye pressure , and untreated Retina tear . If this is true could you elaborate on why , or could other factors been at play ? Separately , if a person has had 3 Retina tears on one eye and 1 Retina detachment on the other eye 👁 all successfully treated with laser surgery should they avoid air travel in the future or is it not a concern ? If someone is already prone to Retina tears and it happens during air flight what can happen and what should they do , if anything , prior to being able to see an Opthalmologist / Retina Specialist when landing home from air travel ? Thank you very much for your prior reply .

Sjogrins syndrome causes that pain in the eyes when you move your eyes. That's me. So freaking painful and dry dry dry. My eye ball cracked two years ago before I found out what the heck was going on ... This video was great thank you
My IOP Iis 22 in one eye and 23 in the other. I also have slight visible blood vessels I have planter psoriasis. Is the IOP serious.? Pls answer doctor
Hi I bad a brvo with Macular Edema. I've been getting Eyelea injections and the swelling is under control. I'm still having spots of distortion in the center of my vision. Can you tell me what's causing that and is it reversible with continuous injections or any other treatment? My specialist tells me it's damage from my condition.

I was honestly really confused and somewhat scared because I have different sized pupils, but it's only slightly and they don't differ when it comes to light exposure. So it's really good to hear that it's normal in my situation, so thank you for including that in this video!
Same here 🙋♀️
Great videos. As an eye doctor myself, I appreciate your videos and the simplicity of the explanations.
I am so glad I came across your chanel and listened to the end. I have red eyes often, but the ophthalmologist didn't say anything thing other than having dry eye. I do have much pain inside the eye and it shoots to the whole side of the nose and ear. It's miserable. Thank you for this message!
Regarding anisocoria. I believe this can be vagus nerve related. I used to come in out of the sun to relative darkness and one pupil would dilate much more than the other. I noticed this and it went on for several years. On the less reactive side I also had a flat affect, darker circle under the eye and lowered palate/ uvula (cf the test in Stanley Rosenberg’s excellent book, Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve). Since doing a lot of vagus nerve techniques, the anisocoria and other symptoms have gone away (the circle under the eye is still slightly darker, I’m in my 50s so it may not completely go away).
For anyone interested, I highly recommend the book mentioned above!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing the book!
I got a concussion on the left side of my head recently and it caused me to
have temporary aniscoria for about 24 hours. Went to urgent care, doctor barely looked at me or spent a little time asking me questions before sending me to the ER to get a CT for a possible brain bleed. When the ER doctor checked me out he actually took to proper steps and in the end decided I didn’t need at CT because there was no way I could have had a brain bleed from my injury. When I followed up with my pcp she said it’s normal for people to have 1-2mm difference in size of pupils. Just because they are different sizes doesn’t mean someone has had head trauma
Brain injury here also pupils we're different sizes and I got bells palsy along with cluster headaches and purple behind left ear from swelling.
Eye doctors don't make a thorough exam like this. I had spondylosis since at least 2019. My eye doctor didn't see anything but in my primary care doctor tests spondylosis was discovered on xray.
The same with me, that really pissed me off
It's always good to have another set of eyes, especially an expert.
Take it personally and go after your eye doctor. Tell them off and reflect your rage on them . Make them feel you the least of your life. Make them remember what they did to you

Thanks for the educative video
They're all pretty cool as long as you're not experiencing them. Just knowing all the details is fascinating.
💯
I am genuinely impressed how he didn’t twist his tongue even once saying all those complicated words in detail or full form instead using the shortcuts or keywords . I rather keep this guy as my spoken English teacher
😂😂 thanks for noticing!
Thanks for sharing. Ironic how my allergies are at their worst and you break down a video explaining your health and the eye link between them. Looks like #1 dry eyes and #5 pinguecula are something I live with! Time to order some sunglasses to slow down my damage.
I have to admit that I always find your eye videos interesting. It amazes me what the eyes can tell you especially concerning your health. Yvonne
Hi Doc, my wife has small black spot on the white part (Sclera?) of her eye for years. Then last year, she had a stye and was given antibiotics. then we noticed the dark spot grew into a curved faded brown spot (Like a letter "C"). We had it checked by an opthalmologist, but she wasn't able to give a definitive diagnosis and referred us to a different opthalmologist which is very far to where we live.
Love your info your very talented
Thank you! I appreciate that!
My son has asymmetry of his pupils. It was diagnosed when he was an infant. Very informative video.
My eyes have been changing. They were brown and now there starting to turn green. There supposed to be blue. It'll take years to get them there but I'm committed to getting my health back and turning my eyes there original color.
HI AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS
I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS. IM SO INCREDIBLY PROTECTIVE OF MY EYES. I DON'T EVEN WEAR MAKE-UP..THE ONLY THING I SUFFER FROM IS DRY EYES.
THE EYES ARE VERY IMPORTANT.
TO TAKE CARE OF
❤Thank you so much! It means a lot to see your comments.
@@DoctorEyeHealth
You Are So very Welcome
I never thought I had to worry about my eyes. No one in my family has had any eye issues. I have ocular hypertension and eye drops for that to keep my pressure down. One drop every night. I see my eye doctor every six months. I was also told that I have vitreous detachment that I had never heard before. My doctor stated that the vitreous had completely separated so that I don’t have to worry about it rearing the retina. What the heck? Now I worry about my eyes which I never thought I even had to think about. Great info.
It’s hard to say which was my favorite because it was all very interesting. I understand a little more now how people can see illnesses in someone’s eyes.
yey! That makes me happy!
My child is having Jaundice. A liver function test has been recommended by a doctor. Hope things will turn out well.
Thank you very much.
any update? I came down with it from a medication, Trileptal, I had to stop it and I'm still dealing with so many issues. liver issues is so scary, I hope so much your child is okay. I couldn't imagine having it as a child, I'm 20 and it's so terrifying. I hope it's all good
You are an excellent teacher. Keep up your good work 👏 🙌 👍. You are not only helping the people as well as medical professionals like me. Thank you 😊
Thank you! I really appreciate that! What are of medicine do you practice?
@@DoctorEyeHealth I am a GP and also incharge medical officer of National transport medical institute for my district. That's why I started to watch your channel and it helped me to do my work efficiently. Some of your videos I watched many times to have a good knowledge in opthalmology. Thank you.
@@benhuransala1136 hello, do you like "Ben Hur"? And can you telöl me how come most Drs don't seem to care , not examine properly, not want to help and "punish" one for what is disease, stress, slee-deprivation, fear from longterm mistreatmwnt in healthcare, and CPTSD Aspergers, which i inform them I have? I'd be very grateful and glad if you would be so good as to answer what you think. All the best to you.
Dr. Allen, Great video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So interesting! Such a great video! I always look forward to seeing that you tube notification that you have posted a video! Would be interested to hear about how systematic diseases can be detected as well through an eye exam.
YES YES YES! I have had a few people ask about this! Sounds like I have another video to make.
I have learnt lots of information. Keep giving more on the eye health. Very informative. Thanks a lot.
Great information, thank you! I think the best part of this video was how you organized and taught this information.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Excellent video as ever! Very informative. Was actually looking to see if you would outline any possible small blood vessel damage, or something else, caused by diabetes. This was a great video though. Thank you!
This is the best eye video I've ever heard! Thank you, you know your stuff!!! 😊
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that!
Hi Doc, so thankful I discovered your channel. Thanks for making all these informative videos. Super helpful for someone who just got their first pair of glasses and contacts at age 50! Regarding Corneal Arcus, any concerns if I'm seeing a beginning of a gray ring around my dark brown eyes?
Welcome! Thank you so much. If you are seeing a grey ring form, it would be wise to ask your eye doctor to confirm what it is (there can be other conditions that look similar). Usually, corneal arcus in people older than 40 is considered fairly normal.
Thank you for sharing this information it's very helpful.😇🙏🏽🙏🏽 I was diagnosed with glaucoma and nerve damage to my eyes. QUESTION: Why does the sunlight, the computer, the brightness of a cell phone or television cause pain and irritate the eyes❓
Oh this is a good and tough question. I was just thinking of doing a video on photophobia or light sensitivity.
I've been a subscriber for several years now and really appreciate the information you provide. I was diagnosed with a macular hole 5+ years ago (which has mostly corrected itself) and have had aura's since I was a teenager due to stress(?) I am getting older now and preparing for retirement. Last time I had my eyes checked they said I had a freckle on my eye which I was already aware of, and they proceeded to schedule me with 3 more visits within the year - not to mention forcing me to purchase 2 pairs of glasses. Yes, they have a scam going where if you buy one pair it will cost you a mortgage payment but if you buy 2 you have an extra pair you don't need and will never use for the same cost.
Pardon the rant of a soon to be senior citizen....
As I age it seems like when I go to a doctor (of any kind) I feel more like I'm visiting a slimy used car or vacuum cleaner salesman! They go above and beyond to find any little issue, push any new drug, vaccine, or test they can dream up to extort more money from you and your insurance company. They make every excuse to find a reason to send me to a specialist. I mean I get it. I'm not a youth anymore but for crying out loud I don't make enough money to pay specialist co-pays for every little thing they think might possibly go wrong as I get older. I went to my GP last week for a well check and before I left, he had tried to push me into so many tests, vaccines, etc., that my calendar would be filled for the next 6 months - which coincidentally would be when I would see him again so it would start all over again!!! Many of these tests he had just performed in the past year!!!!
What is going on with healthcare in the US? If it was necessary, I would consent, but it seems more and more as if they just want to waste my time and money so every physician within their network will get their equal portion of my money!!!! I've begun to feel as if I'm being fleeced by the US Healthcare System. I'd be willing to bet that if I were in the UK or Canada this would not happen because their healthcare is paid for out of their taxes not out of the citizens pocket on an as needed basis. I would never have imagined when I first started working that at this stage in my life after paying for health insurance since I was a teenager and seldom if ever using it- now that I need it the cost of insurance and healthcare has grown exponentially and all those years of good health and paying out to insurance companies has lined their pockets and I get no breaks now that I'm older!!! It's a rip off because I guarantee that if I were diagnosed with any terminal disease, they would say the same thing they did about my parents...too old and too frail to perform lifesaving procedures--just administer morphine to inhibit respiration and let them die peacefully. I've told my GP over and over again that whatever money I have saved for my retirement they aren't gonna get it. If I do have a terminal illness just administer morphine and let me go to sleep peacefully. He just doesn't seem to get it!!! I didn't work my entire life to hand over my savings to a doctor or hospital!!!! I'm not following in my parents' footsteps by refinancing my home to pay a hospital bill and end up without a home because you can't make the payments for all your doctor & hospital bills. It's not gonna happen to me!!!! When I die, I will die with dignity!!!
Hey thank you for sharing so much of your feelings and experiences. Sorry to hear you felt pressured to buy multiple pairs of glasses. I personally try never to push people, the whole hard sell tactic never felt right with me and is not the reason i went into eye care. My job is to take care of peoples eyes, not to sell glasses.
The US healthcare system is ripe with problems. Mostly due to capitalistic business. The Healthcare system is not run by medical professionals, it is run by insurance industries and the people who own the big hospital systems. And they don't care about your health, those industries only care about your money. Even for the healthcare providers, their jobs are put at risk and the industries put increasingly more responsibility and pressure on those providers to see more patients (which they try to call "efficiency" and even charge more or do more testing). Medicine has shifted from being conservative about examination and treatment, to being TEST FOR EVERYTHING, for one reason, because if they miss something in the US, the legal system is very hard and a doctor will lose their license or at least get slapped with a big lawsuit (this is often not the case in other countries), and another reason i think testing is done at a high rate is but because if they do not, the insurance reimbursement for an exam is so low, that their income levels will drop and the clinic may go under.
There is a lot more that can be said of this. But again I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and for your continued following of the channel. I hope life is treating you well otherwise.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thanks so much for responding and you are right the healthcare system in the US is a huge problem. I worked at the Corporate HQ of an international retail organization for most of my working life and as purchasing manager we were forbidden to take expensive gifts from vendors because, "Nothing is ever free." The same is true for healthcare services. I know that citizens of other countries pay taxes for the care they receive but those nations are in a much better position to negotiate those costs. As a US citizen I certainly believe that our costs could be better negotiated but because its capitalistic nature our costs are overly inflated. Also, most corporations enter into negotiations with insurance companies by saying this is all we want to pay out per employee now tell me what kind of coverage we can get for that amount. With that type of negotiation style, the only losers are the employees!
My left eye is always glassy, no matter what supplements I take or water I drink, I even use hycosan drops,
My husband has floaters, ( I told him that is from sugar, he has a poor diet ) do most ppl get floaters ?
Thank you for such informative videos. Explain things very clearly in layman's terms. You would make a great University professor.
“… then their pupils are going to be humongous and large.” 😂
I have a swollen eyelid,, thought it was a bug bite but I noticed on the inside of my eyelid it was red. It feels sore when I blink. It’s been 4 days. Been doing warm compress not wearing my contacts and no makeup. If by Monday it’s not better I will visit a eye doctor. I’m hoping it’s nothing serious. This video was helpful, Thank you!
My favorite, or the closest to me is the last one. Trauma to the eye/ grayed out cornea. My mom has that. She ran through a glass door at age 3 and cannot see out of that eye.
Ouch....that sounds awful. Hope she is still doing well
Yes, my husband has one pupil smaller than the other. When lights are bright, his one goes small and the other goes big. It is very noticeable.
He had his eye checked years and years ago and they were amazed at how different they were. They weren't concerned about it though apparently🤔

Your entire video was informative and helpful as always! I got a kick out of the pupils segment. So that’s why some people wear sunglasses playing poker!
Read about Adie’s syndrome . I also have my pupils do this. I’m struggling with blurry vision now and it’s getting worse.
I have glaucoma managing it with drops, all education re vision is of utmost importance ...windows to the world, thank you for the informative videos , from South Africa
Hello, doctor! Huge fan! I am 24 yrs old and my right eye is congenitally hyperopic. I even developed 'wandering eye' for my right eye. My local doctors say that it has become "lazy" and that there is no hope for it, so they never prescribed glasses for it (I use glasses for my left eye, which probably has irregular astigmatism, but the main prescription is -1.5 cyl and -0.25 sph). What should I be better doing about my right eye?
Hey thank you for sharing! An eye that is congenitally more hyperopic does carry a risk for developing amblyopia or “lazy eye”. It is sadly not as much of a problem with the eye as it is the poor development of the visual centers of the brain tied to that eye. Depending on how extreme the amblyopia is, your doctor may be right in that there is little that can be done. I wish I could offer more help but I can’t without an examination , best to continue with your local eye doctor. Hope this helps.
I like your videos...i use your content to educate patients as an optometrist.
Thank you!!! That means a lot
This dude is literally the best doctor on RUclips.
Great review! You seem to have left out the most common systemic disease affecting the eye: diabetes! a major cause of retinopathy and dry eye disease! Also severe arterial hypertension is often suspected due to optic disc edema and retinal hemorhages! Congrats and keep up good work
Haha thank you! Yeah I tried to keep things to what we can detect just by looking at someone - without the need for magnification or a dilated exam. But that will need to come up in the next video like this. Otherwise thank you again!
@@DoctorEyeHealth nicely done great video
Thank you for the information 😊
Happy to share!
I have noticed as I age that the whites of my eyes have dulled. Is there something I can do to improve this? Could you do a video on this topic? I have enjoyed your very informative videos!
All are interesting and good to be aware of. Thank you for you channel.

What is throbbing eye pain like with a migraine? Thanks for your videos!
My son has two different pupil sizes due to Traumatic optic neuropathy from a near fatal car accident at 17
Wow! Hope he is doing ok.
❤ we found out that one can bigger one can smaller comes from having seizures
Hello Doc! New here and Absolutely love your channel. I have a condition called Keratoconus and had a doctor managing my care for the past 5 years. He just retired and I need to find someone in GA who is at least as good or an expert at managing my complex condition. Do you have any information on this subject or a video to share? Any recommendations of docs in my state or surrounding states?
Thank you, Doctor. There was a lot of great and helpful information in that video!
I am a 71 yr old female. Thee months ago, I suffered a TIA stroke and an SHA aneurysm was discovered on the scan with contrast. I have an eye appointment coming up. Do you think that this any of the might be revealed on the eye exam?
Thank you
Just found your video, and your video just made my day! (And happy subscribed your channel). I hope if you can talk about the difference between Systane Complete Eye drop and Gel Eye Drop.
Currently, suffer minor dry eye to due exposure of dust and sun where I work, and found these two eyes drops recommend by different pharmacist in my area. Not too sure which one should I maintain it ..
Hey I really appreciate this video very in-depth and also thanks for the extr elaborations of similar cases and misconceptions regarding glaucoma.
When I first came down with fibromyalgia I had horrific eye movement pain but I don't have MS.
I’d like to say, I love your channel. You’re always give such useful information in a easy to understand format. I was curious about your opinion on astaxanthin. I have heard some very exciting research about it.
❤ Beautiful show but my eyes are red all the times for years. I do have a bad back and neck problem for years as i said before.
Quick question. 57 yo femaile. Had glasses since 3rd grade for nearsightedness. Eyes progressed pretty quickly (like pop bottle thickness). Was told by eye doctor when I was in 8th grade that if I could wear contacts (semi-hard gas perm), it would help my vision from getting worse. Started wearing contacts in 9th grade which seemed to slow down the worsening of my vision. I've been wearing gas perm contacts ever since (a blessing not to have to wear thick glasses!!!). My vision is 12 & 12.5. During Covid, I worked from home & I switched to wearing glasses for convenience sake. Now I'm wondering if that was a mistake. Could switching from gas perm contacts to glasses have worsened my vision? Seems my vision has gotten worse (things aren't near as clear with glasses now). I also noticed that when I look out of my left eye only, things seem to bow to the left a little (imagine looking at anything vertical like vertical blinds, the corner of a wall, the edge of a portrait). Same when I look out of my right eye only (things bow to the right). However, when looking out of both eyes, everything seems to look okay...just not clear. Trying to figure out why of late that is happening. I also have floaters which are really annoying. Both parents and two brothers have had retina issues as well. Was told by eye doctor a year ago that I have the beginnings of cataracts also. Time for new glasses, but I'm thinking I need to see a new doctor that can deal with all of these issues. Any thoughts on the wavy vertical issue?
Dr eye health I have no word's to say you covered everything exelent video as all ways have a good one
Thank you! Much appreciated
Could you do a show on Retrolental Fibroplasia? I was born 3mos premature in 63 and developed this from being in an incubator. They weren’t sure how much Oxygen had to be given and it damaged my eyes. This led to enucleation and a prosthetic. A few tips about social interaction would be great! I always have to deal with very rude kids, but the adults really take the cake! 🙄
Hi Doc. Love your channel. Any idea why skin tags on the eye lids?
Thank you so much for doing this video. I’ve been to at least for doctors and they haven’t been able to pinpoint my corneal ulcer. I’m guessing I have # 4 currently.
Very informative!! Thanks, I have been having eye fatigue . My eyes feels like collecting dust and I can’t rid of that itch!! They are no longer white but slightly red. Help!
You briefly touched optic neuritis. Also the bit about sty’s my mother gets them.
Dry eye's that never go away. Eyes always red.
I always assumed that the white ring around my iris (both eyes) was from cataracts. TIL that they are from high cholesterol (I have both). Thanks!
I love your videos!
Q: should I avoid cataract surgery until I have my Blepharitis/meibomian gland dysfunction under control?
fyi: I’m also diabetic.
The more I learn the more i understand how much I have not know . Useful

I have experienced significant traumatic life events, and I think that’s how I got the anisocoria, my unique trauma change the way my brain works
Ok, at about age 45, I was working on a very toxic workplace. It was Monday morning & I was brushing my teeth. Suddenly, thick solid black lenses moved simultaneously from the outer part of both eyes & almost reached the colored circled part. I felt really dizzy & moved to the couch & sat down. Suddenly I was throwing up. I went to the emergency room, but they never gave me any clear answers as to it's cause. Never had it since. I am now 77. Any ideas?
I had Lasik done a few years ago. I broke my toe and after that I had a broken blood vessel in my eye. A floater showed up at the same time. The eye cleared up and the floater became less noticeable. My broken toe is causing scabbing at the top of my toe nail. The floater came back and there is occasional flashes in the eyes when I close them. I’m wondering if the nerves in the toes and eyes are directly linked. Also should I still be using after lasik eye drops or just any kind of saline eye drops.
#9 because both of my eyes got cornea abrasion do to having keratoconus an wearing sclera contacts lens On a warm day in California and the solution in the contacts dried up .
That sucks to hear that. How are things going right now for you?
@@DoctorEyeHealth took 9 months of pred forte & muro128 to bring back 70% of my vision on my left eye .then the same thing happens to my right eye . still can’t see so I’m getting a cornea transplant next week. So I feel good thank you
Thanks for the information, doc!!
Hello, Doc 🥰 Loved the video ✨ I have an extra red vein in the eye that never goes away (I think that is due to the bad use of contact lenses). I can't find info about this anywhere. Maybe a video about this, causes, if there's a solution, etc. could be interesting. Thanks for everything 🌟💜
Hey thank you for suggesting this! I too have a few extra red veins on the eyes from contact lens wear, it even follows the curve of the lens too. I will try to plan a video of what causes redness of the eye and how it can be treated.
@@DoctorEyeHealth yes! It's the same with mine. Many thanks, doctor ✨
That’s why I stopped wearing contact lenses years ago
I have a noticeable red vein that’s been in my right a few years. If I get a headache, the pain usually settles in that same eye. Should I be concerned?
I don’t wear contacs
Fist of all .congratulations for your carrier. I always wanted but I'm old . .thank you for your time and your help. Aldo information. All for helping us . Thank you so much. 💓
I got that white faded look today due to contact. How can I make it go away, because now my vision is blured in that eye. Thank you for your time
Thanks Doc. for your meticulous service as usual. That said, I have itching and tears in my eyes. What is these caused by? Peace ☮️ Love ❤️ from Denmark!
Hey thank you! In the eyecare world, we are taught that if someone has itching of the eyes, to think allergy or some hypersensitivity. I do have a video about eye allergies, ruclips.net/video/auhhD64BH18/видео.html
Thank you for making these videos I’m in high school and this helps me a lot and will help me in the future
Glad to hear it! Are you thinking of going into medicine or healthcare at all?
Have understand well what is Aniscoria
None of the conditions were my favorite. One of my eyes turns red as soon as i step outside or when the lights are bright, sometimes there's a little pain. It feels like my eye is strained and tired and I have no idea what's causing it. I've seen a few doctors and i was told it's dust or make-up but i don't put on makeup . One doctor in China told me to ignore it cause i see well. But i can't just ignore it. When i wake up my eyes are all clear and by noon I have a red eye, it feels tired and strained. I don't know what to do.
I get a lot of styes. Usually when I am going thru stress. Some of them are inside the eyelid. Some are outside and incredibly painful.
Great information. Thank you, Dr. Allen. :)
Thank you!!! I appreciate that!
Thank you for all the information you shared. Because you are so awesome 😎 I heard you mention psoriasis. And how it affects the eyes. You are so right. I had psoriasis, after having shingles close to my eyes. My doctor prescribed the strongest antibiotic known to man. I knew I needed probiotics to replace the good bacteria 🦠 in my gut. However my Doctor and Pharmacist, didn’t know what to prescribe. Luckily for me I found a doctor Steven Gundry from Loma Linda, California. As one of our nation’s top thoracic surgeons and cardiologists he discovered that many of the surgeries he performed had no problems with the heart ❤️. They were caused by stomach issues. He set out to find why. What he found was his patients had a lack of a bacteria found in the lower gut. Other than a fecal implant there was no way to deliver the bacteria to the lower intestine. So he found a way to encapsulate it. I forgot to mention that I had suddenly developed PTSD at the same time. Thank God, I Accidentally 🎉found this amazing Doctor (Like You) on RUclips. He was being interviewed for helping people with the Coronavirus, before the vaccines came out. I didn’t expect the results I got. I just knew something was wrong with my biomes and my Doctors didn’t have the right answers… Amazingly after 30 days of taking, ( Total Restore) and (Bio Complete 3 ) the PTSD and psoriasis disappeared…. I also took a product called Lectin Shield (which was what I was originally looking for) not knowing what I needed. I think I should mention when I stopped taking the (Total Restore ) my psoriasis came back. I can tell you want to help as many people as possible. If you find anything else that is this amazing, please let me know. Thank you 🙏 again you deserve the best. God Speed, Raymond Kress
God Bless You Dr. Allen , you truly are a blessing. Merry Christmas!🕊
Same to you!
When you examine someone's eyes can you tell if they will have Retina tears or Retina detachment sometime in the near future or later ? What percentage of nearsighted with strong prescription will go on to have Retina tears ? Is it true that if you get on an airplane and fly with a Retina tear or detachment you will go blind ? After someone has had successful laser surgery to repair a Retina tear can they fly or should they continue to avoid flying ? 🤔
Wow these are all such good questions!
I may have to make a video just about all of this.
During a dilated exam I am usually able to see the retina well enough to see retinal tears or holes.
Some people have thinning of the retina which can increase the risk of a tear or detachment and so we educate and watch those areas more closely.
The higher the nearsightedness the greater the risk of RD, depending on the study there have been slight variations in the exact percentage, but I usually see it reported around if you are a -1.00 to a -3.00 diopters you are about 3x more likely to have a RD, if you are -3.00 to -6.00 it is about a 9x increased risk and if someone is over -6.00D then they have over a 20x risk factor.
Risk for Myopic Degeneration is worse when over -6.0 though, 40x more likely.
Air travel is associated with slight eye pressure changes but I have not seen any specific publication linking retinal tear or detachment to air travel, some anecdotal reports but nothing wide studied. The bigger concern is if a gas bubble was placed inside the eye during surgery, that may have more consequence.
Ultimately, these are good questions for your eye surgeon or local eye care professional. Hope this helps.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Regarding air travel , If someone is traveling abroad and develops a Retina tear or Retina detachment , and chooses for whatever reason , to wait and have laser surgery when they arrive back home , can/will the person go blind due to any cabin air pressure , eye pressure issues regarding the untreated Retina tear/detachment ? Someone I know traveled abroad and had a Retina tear , elected to have laser surgery at home rather than treat the Retina tear before getting on her flight and returning to her home country . When she returned home she realized she had lost permanent sight in the eye with the Retina tear and was told if she had had the laser surgery before her return air travel her sight most likely would have been preserved . Apparently had something to do with cabin air pressure , eye pressure , and untreated Retina tear . If this is true could you elaborate on why , or could other factors been at play ? Separately , if a person has had 3 Retina tears on one eye and 1 Retina detachment on the other eye 👁 all successfully treated with laser surgery should they avoid air travel in the future or is it not a concern ? If someone is already prone to Retina tears and it happens during air flight what can happen and what should they do , if anything , prior to being able to see an Opthalmologist / Retina Specialist when landing home from air travel ? Thank you very much for your prior reply .

Hi I bad a brvo with Macular Edema. I've been getting Eyelea injections and the swelling is under control. I'm still having spots of distortion in the center of my vision. Can you tell me what's causing that and is it reversible with continuous injections or any other treatment? My specialist tells me it's damage from my condition.
Great information. Thank you
