How often can you use preservative free drops?
Hi doc, hope you are doing well. Can you please share cons of ICL?
Have you ever felt that eye drops irritated your eyes or made things worse?
When I apply drops for dryness, initially my eyes feel more lubricated. But after a few minutes they feel even more dry than before, especially if the drops contain carboxymethylcellulose. I use only the good brands (Systane , SootheXP…) including the ones you recommend for each of the 3 types of dry eye. This happens even with preservative free drops. Why is this happening?
@doctor eye health
Due to prednisolone steroid eye drops after ICL surgery my eye pressure increased to 50mmHg and when I stopped using them pressure was back to normal but I felt dryness. Doctor said there are dry patches in eyes...is this normal? If so how long it will take this dryness to go off
I have dry watery eyes,so when I use eye drops my eyes gets more watery
@sewcrazy64
same kind of things are happening to me
I am definitely buying the nano dropper today!
I had issues with my eyes were so dry, it was so red and burning everyday.. i bought clear eyes and it may it worse.. I just had my eyes check and the doctor told me that the bottom part of my eyes are very dry so she prescribe "SOOTHE" LUBRICANT OINTMENT and so far its working, there is such a difference now, no irritation or burning.. very happy.. thanks for the tips.. love your channel...
Hi there, Im pretty much new to your channel, and i love it that you have answers for problems a lot of ppl have.. I'm from New Zealand, and Im 61 years old, got diagnosed at 30 years old, with Macular Degeneration, a few years back I got Glaucoma, and about 4 years ago I got Bilateral cataracts, which the doctor said they cant remove them because the chances are high, that I could lose my sight very quickly.. I have drops for Glaucoma 3 times a day, and I get really dry eyes now, so in between these drops ive been putting in other drops to help reduce the burning, but it doesnt really help at all.. But anyway I just wanted to let you know that im about on your pages at times, and I just wanted to say I think you are awesome at explaining things, and you are just being so happy to be helping others on here.. Keep up the great work..👓😀
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!! I really can't tell you how much this means for me to hear. I also appreciate you sharing a bit of your story. Eye drops for glaucoma often do contain harsh preservatives and may contribute to ocular surface disease. Hopefully, your doctor may be able to help you switch to preservative free formulations. The eye drop Alphagan is also well known for causing eye irritation and allergy. I'm bummed to hear that you are not a great candidate for cataract surgery. Hopefully, your prognosis stabilizes or improves. Again, I really appreciate you and your comment. Thank you!!
Bless you for speaking the truth.II have not yet tried any of the eye drops brands you referred to,but when I was discharged from the hospital earlier this year,I was told that I had to take artificial tears I am still doing that and I am still looking into getting the brand that is best for my left eye and my pocket.
My eyes feel worse after eye drops even when using preservative-free lubricating eye drops (not the redness relief kind). IMO, lubricating eye drops don't really help with evaporative dry eye because they evaporate within minutes and leave the eye drier than before.
I have the same exact issue..... What do u do to make it better
I m 18 n STRUGGLING.....WITH ONLINE CLASSES
@@anushka...9976 did you find any answer I have the same issue
naah .... i just take break every 20 min.... wash my eyes n do warm compressions 3 times day ....makes situation better
Just use water
@@anushka...9976who has time for that??
Thank you for your channel. I have terrible dry eyes but I’ve learned a lot about dry eyes through you.
Thanks Kirsten! That means a lot to hear
@@DoctorEyeHealth You’re very welcome. It’s nice to have someone to watch who understands.
Thanks for the Lumify tip. I will only use it occasionally.
My dry eye routine continues to grow every year, and it's exacerbated by my glaucoma, Simbrinza followed by DuoTrav, followed by Xiidra to start my day. Aritficial tears throughout the day. Evening is warm compress, followed by Lid'n'lash cleaning/massage, followed by Simbrinza, and again followed by Xiidra. Adds up to over 75 minutes everyday of eyecare. IOL has helped lower the eye pressure and I usually hover around 12/13 but still occasionally jump to the high 40's. At that point I'm on Acetazolamide for 4/5 days of hell but the numbers do come back down to normal.Just have to remind myself that's not 1940 as I would be blind.
I find your vid's very informative and I'm waiting for the day you announce a breakthrough.
Top of line, without preservatives eye drops were initially used to treat the dry eye symptoms your describe. I had to eventually switch to Restasis as the otc drops caused continued dry eye pain. Restasis produces acceptable results. Btw my eyes were drier and not very red.
Wow. That is happening to me. I feel lucky to have found your video. Thanks!
Every time someone enters my clinic, and I read on the intake form that they complain about dry eyes, I then look directly to what eye drops they use. The vast majority of the time, they're using visine and that triggers my "ah-hah" moment.
I mean, personally, I don't mind red eyes. They make my baby blues pop 🤪 But for real. Thank you for what you do! I have yet to find a brand that truly helps me (I have allergic conjunctivitis along with dry eye) but I also didn't know the names of preservatives to look out for... so maybe that knowledge will help in the future.. Thanks for this!
Thank you! Does the water or maybe makeup that you are exposed to cause irritation? I imagine that is a common thing for Mermaids? BTW - think what you do is amazing. Keep making the world a magical place for all! Perhaps some day, assuming you can find a way to travel on land, we will bump into each other at a renaissance fair some day.
Please stop using eyedrops to prevent poisoning yourself! Do RESEARCH PLEASE !!
Your videos are always too good ❤️❤️
Very much informative
Your video are always to the point. Thanks
So nice of you!
Could you do an updated video on what eye drops you recommend for eye itch and dry eye?
I suffer from chronic dry eye caused by Sjogren's syndrome and use Restasis as my main medication. But I also use preservative free eyedrops as many as 10-20 times a day depending upon symptoms. Before settling upon Thera Tears preservative frre drops I tried 8 other big name preservative drops and they all irritated my eyes. Even the very expensive Oasis eyedrops recommended by my ophthalmologist were very irritating. So my guess is it pays to try a variety of differeent drops if the first ones you use don't work well.
Hi, I also had severe dry eye after using artificial tears. The drops we'll have the immediate dryness effect and ointment the long-term and worse effect
Thanks Doc!
Thank you for all these wonderful videos. I’ve learned a lot and my dry eye problems are significantly reduced thanks to you. A recent reaction to Pataday allergy reduction eye drops (from one of your great videos) caused my eye lids to swell and even my eyeballs felt swollen. I immediately rinsed with Retaine MGD drops (another of your videos) which decreased the reaction.
I’m very careful with the Pataday drops, only one drop in each eye and use the lower lid pull out method to administer the drop. No other eye drops were used before the Pataday. Occasional use over the last 6 months with no problems until now. This is the original bottle. I’d appreciate any suggestions on preventing this from happening again.
Yes, this video is an answer to prayer. I've diagnosed with sjogren's disease and I have this all the time. So glad you made this video!
Thank you! So glad to help!
@@DoctorEyeHealth I'm using Thera Tears Extra. How are these?
Drops are not an answer but merely temporary relief. I have been flooding my eyes with them every 40-60 minutes for the last 18 months and still no closer to an actual cure. The eye "doctors" i have seen have been virtually useless.
@@vw5056 I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can find some better relief. My mom had to have something do with surgery to her year ducts if I remember and it did her great.
@@jeffreyrood8755 I know my problem is meibomian gland dysfunction and possibly a tear production problem.
Great video, thank you! What about eye drops for allergies? Some of those sting like crazy & hurt so much…
I had laser eye surgery 20 years ago and have severe dry eye. Even using preservative free eye drops if I use them multiple times per day they cause irritation too.
I recently was diagnosed with dry eye!!!
Yess finally! I have had this happen to me several times, that's why I'm so hesitant to use my eye drops nowadays 🙈
Redness and stinging and burning happens every time and I use preservative free eye drops already and I have allergic reaction to most eye drops and sensitive skin
Good to know all this info🤩
Glad it was helpful!
I use Refresh eye drops, but I have noticed that I tend to use them more during the winter and because I use a Bpap machine too. Is that normal? I use them before sleep at night and then when I walk in the morning. I also sleep with a ceiling fan on and of course there's our central heating too. I live in the North Central part of Texas, which tends to be really dry. Thanks for your help.😊
Refresh helpes for dry watery eyes
What a difference the nanodropper made! So glad you mentioned it.
Absolutely yes.
@doctoreyehealth could you make a video on products to avoid around the eye? Or direct me to a previous one? Thank you
Is the rebound effect permanent after long-term overuse of whitening eye drops?
Yes.. I used Rx eye drops for glacoma for years, then surgery for cataracts with shunts put into eyes for glacoma. No more drops required but then dry eye set in. Doc gave me Refresh LiquiGel to resolve dry eye.
Worked okay kinda sorts but after putting drops in my eyes they felt strange for a few hours. Relief seemed iffy at best. She then prescribed an ointment that worked but blurred vision for a while, depending on variables unknown to me.
After trial & error I figured out I needed both drops & ointment combined - one to augment the other.
Drops worked but only if oil based ointment allowed them to remain in the eye longer.
Why can't my doc explain this? She's a highly respected eye surgeon, but I don't think she likes having to repeat the same old song and dance to every patient funneling into her care.
She's very intense but also very detached. I suspect behaviorally she can't help this. She has mellowed some, after taking time off to have a baby.
I'm verging on asking for one of her other associate docs to work with. If a major problem comes up they can always fall back on her as a backup.
Thanks for bringing this up. Ointment does work wonders for some people.
I know many amazing surgeons and they are very good at what they do. In my experience, and this is for sure a generality and there are always exceptions, but many surgeons are brilliantly skilled but often fall short with communication to their patients. In addition, and for sure in ophthalmology, there is a shortage of ophthalmologists for the demand, which means they are often overworked or have very little time to spend with each patient (which is a frustrating shame). Either way, I hope you are able to spend a little more time with a local provider to help you with your case.
I appreciate your comment, Thanks.
I was using eye drops about 4-6 times a day. I rotate between Refresh and a brand called Similasan. Curious about your take on the latter. I started doing the eye lid massage technique you shared before - although been slacking and back to pretty dry. When I was doing the eyelid massage, my eyes were a little more moist and comfortable.
Please stop using eyedrops to prevent poisoning yourself! Do RESEARCH PLEASE !!
I went to an eye doctor last year because I was studying for my boards and my eyes are dry. The doctor prescribed 2 brands of eye drops one is Systane (which says preservative free) and the other one is Refresh. So,, of course, I bought systane and as time goes by both of my eyes became puffy (lower of my eyebrows) and my upper left eyelid is a little bit retracted. So I stopped Systane because aside from the problems I've encountered mentioned above I had photosensitivity and blurry eyes. Now, my eyes are looking better but I still have a little retracted eyelid on the left and a little puffy eyes on both eyes.
Hi. I got red eyes after overusing eye drops. What kind of treatments would you recommend?
Yes. Please help!!
I have been using Combigan for over 10 years and lately they have been stinging my eyes, it never used too. The Lumigan is ok when I use it at night. These eye meds I'll be using for life.
Thankfully most glaucoma meds can be prescribed preservative free as well. Do you know if the SLT procedure is an option for you?
I use Theratears in the vials and sometimes it feels gritty and stabby and then I have to use Refresh Plus and then I'm fine. I know I have a collection of eye drops.
I bought the Systane Complete because they are recommended by my Dr. My eyes were much worse and I had to stop using them. My contact Dr gave me a sample of Blink for severe eye dry yesterday. Only used them once last night and my eye was good this morning. Hope it continues.
I have been experiencing this lately. I have been using systane ultra and for me it
causes burning and a sandy grainy feeling.
That happened to me several times after I changed for drops with hialuronic acid
HI DOCTOR, I HAVE DRY EYELIDS, HAVE TRIED A COUPLE OF THINGS, HASN'T HELPED TOO MUCH. DO YOU HAVE ANY REMEDIES ? THANK YOU
I have an appointment with my eye doctor on monday, I fell asleep with my eye makeup on 🤦🏻♀️and now not only are my eyes dry, they what kind of blurry and a little bit swollen. I used visine one time days ago 🥺 and it really made it bad. I've just been using artificial tears or pataday, seems to have lessened the sting✌🏻
My mom has definitely had trouble with eye drops that had preservatives in them. We have had to switch to the individual packaging for her. This has been a challenge with her assisted living facility, who keeps trying to get the ones in the bottles (with preservatives) instead of the individual plastic droppers, to save money. I keep having to remind them over and over that these are NOT the SAME.
Can you bring an extra supply for her? What brand is she using BTW?
Did it actually help? I wish those weren't so expensive I don't really want to pay that much for eyedrops. Seems like it doesn't always work for some people.
Please stop using eyedrops to prevent poisoning yourself! Do RESEARCH PLEASE !!
I’ve been trying every kind of preservative free drop over the last two years. Eyes just continue to worsen it seems. Developing large prominent red veins in eyes that never go away.
The specialists at the hospital and the doctor have given up nothing agrees with my eye. Even water hurts them. I have Sjögren’s syndrome and rosacea
I don't have dry eyes, but use contacts and use some sodium hyaluronate drops every now and then, but all of a sudden, one time I put them in they burned and itched terribly, even weirder, just in one eye, not the other one. Weeks later the same happened, again just one eye; the one I put the drops in first. I bought another bottle, I started to think that maybe the bottle I had got some components out of solution or something... because only the first drop burned, Idk...
YES!! That is happening to me, too!!
What should I do If my eye drops touch my eyes I just bought them
I use Systane Original for my eye drops about 6 times per day, my eye doctor said to use Systane Complete but I
found that it felt like burning when I drop it in so I went back to the original and I have no problems.
That is very interesting! Either way though, I'm glad your found something that works for you. Seems like some people struggle with every drop on the market.
I use the Systane that you've suggested and I still have burning and have NO whitening.
Same problem
Rebound effect!!! Happens with almost every drug/prescription I have taken.
My eyes burn so much more right after putting drops in. And yes, I use preservative free vials. Can you explain this?
Thanks for the info! I was using Systane Complete and noticed my eyes burned after applying. My eye doctor recommended switching to preservative free drops, so I am now using Systane Ultra PF (preservative free). No more issues of burning eyes.
Exactly the same with me.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try.
Did you also get rid of dry eyes?? I'm asking because I suffer from it and it feels like my eyes got worse after I used eye drops prescribed by my doctor. It is only now that I started to google and discovered that eye drops with preservatives aren't good. And heck, those eye drops I used contain that stuff. Sigh.
@@user-tp8fh6gp5y Sorry to hear your eyes got worse. I haven’t completely gotten over my dry eyes. Sometimes it seems like the preservative free drops are helping, and other times, not so much. Sometimes I still get some burning even with the preservative free drops.
@@hepgeoffI see... it sucks to hear that. :/ Btw have you ever tried Hylo Comod eye drops? It contains the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found in the eye but also in other parts of the body. I'm currently using other single eye drops from Duratears preservative-free, will give it a few more days and then consider trying out other eye drops. Doesn't feel like it does anything much. Also getting new glasses, apparently my current ones are way too strong and i've been using them for almost two years. Only now understanding that my eye strain might have been caused bc of that! :/ i hope it will give my eyes some relief.. Thank you for your reply btw!
Hey doctor recently had a cataract removed in my left eye about 6 months ago I was using drops to provide moisture but I stopped because it seemed like my vision was getting worse in my left eye my vision is bad anyway however now it appears the vision in my left eye that had the Cataract is worse than before and it feels like something is in my eye like a grain of sand or something that's the best way I can describe it but there isn't anything there
Where do I get my eyes examined? I know I have blurry vision and an eye problem significantly damaged and in need of evaluation. Two OD's and still no confidence in the provider's evaluation.
For anyone with dry eyes please try using eye drops that are preservative free those usually work really good (always make sure to check each brand ingredient of course) they almost come in single free vials which can be used twice in a day since those little vials do bring more liquid than what they lol
Please stop using eyedrops to prevent poisoning yourself! Do RESEARCH PLEASE !!
My eye is s bad today and i don't know why but thank you so much for this video 🥳🥳🥳
I'm wearing a recommended glasses but sometimes I don't see things clearly (like everything looking blur). What do I do?
I had cataract eye surgery a year ago and it seems like ever since my dry eyes have been 5 times worse. Is that possible it could have something to do with my surgery? I am in my mid 60's.
Yep that has happened but it wasn’t right away. It was refresh plus but I also had inflammation of the cornea so…
I had this with Xidra. I don’t use it anymore. I have had 4 IPlL treatment which helped
Please advice on wearing computer glasses and driving glasses when there is less or no eye sight imperfection. And can you compre crizal and zeiss offerings in these?
I find my eyes burn when I use eye drops (Hycosan Extra) too soon after using my Hypochlorous acid spray or eyelid moisturiser. It's a tricky balance sometimes!
I have dry eyes. It's just my right one, and I use Systane for dry eyes. I use it 2 to 3 times a day and I don't have trouble with my eyes for the rest of the day. And I want to say thank you for making the videos, they are so helpful.
Same here right eye only
Same here. Right eye only. But, when I use Systane, it eliminates the dryness but it stings. I checked for preservatives and it only has "0.001% preservative" listed so that's probably not it. Do those drops ever sting you?
Reading down further, I found this recommendation: Systane Ultra PF (preservative free) Will def be trying it!
@@fibrefoxx no they do not sting. They're very soothing.
@@fibrefoxxdid they work ?
I found a spray that sprays over a closed eye.
Then u blink and it goes into the eye, no rubbing or touching eye.
It had the effect of moisture, not at all cooling or refreshing, just moisture, like normalizing the eye, any dryness just became normal.
I didn’t even use eye drops that much because all those chemicals can’t be good, so I really liked the gentle spray over a closed eye.
I began to use it every morning, sometimes thru-out the day, no side effects at all.
It was a teeny tiny bottle, went thru it fast, sought out some more, can’t find it any more :-/
Too good to last I guess…
I've used some eye drops for allergies/itchy eyes and my eyes are worse now. I've stopped using the over the counter stuff since my eyes felt worse. Going to eye doctor in 2 weeks.
Thanks for the information. I never thought the drops I use couldn't be working. I'm on Xiidra but suffer from Blepharitis and decreased tear production. Xiidra doesn't burn but it might not be working at all. I use Refresh Optive Mega-3 Lubricant Eye Drops occasionally if my eyes become dry during the day. I may switch back to Retaine MGD. @dreyehealth Have you done a video on Regener-Eyes?
Does Xiidra have BAK?
Appreciate all of your help
Eysuvis and Restasis used same time to treat dry eyes? Thx
Doc,here is my question to you please? What eye drops is good for teridium?
I saw my eye doctor about blurred vision. I did not have symptoms of dry eyes. My doctor prescribed Sistine Lubricant Eye drops Complete PF. After using the drops as prescribed the first day, I woke up the next morning with dry eyes and a headache.
Hi Doctor. What causes dry eyes? My eyes are fine, only needing to go to get sight testing every 3 years. I came across your site and didn't realise there's so much to learn about the health of eyes!! Very interesting info. Oh and you have the perfect eyes for your job😁 greetings from the UK🕵
There are many causes of dry eye! If you haven't come across it yet, here's a playlist of most of my dry eye content, with a few videos talking about the causes.
ruclips.net/video/7roXAdaEraA/видео.html
@@DoctorEyeHealth Much appreciated, thank you.
When my eyes are too dry (especially in the morning), even preservative free lubricating tear drops (Systane hydration) hurt my eyes. I have pain and burning feeling. Normally it doesn’t hurt but when my are too dry it hurts. Is there anyone know the reason?
I'm 71 with severe dry eye, worse in my left eye. Eye drops only give temporary relief, and Ive used every kind. I currently use Refresh Optive Mega-3 Lubricant Eye Drops with flaxseed oil. Oddly, my eyes only produce noticable tears when I yawn, cough, or sneeze a lot.
I too love the Mega 3. It is my favorite for MGD/ evaporative dry eye. Have you had a chance to try Tyrvaya yet?
Thanks for answering! No, I had not heard of Tyrvaya, but I am certainly willing to try it. Thank you for the advice. I will be going in for an eye exam soon.
Yep...but I'm using refresh gel and systane complete
Doc any thoughts on drops containing preservative Phenyl mercuric nitrate?
Yes, this is what happening to me .
Is it safe to use preservative-free eye drops with contacts?
I get the burning. I use eyedrops from my eye doctor. Use preservative free ones: Hylo-Dual, I-Drop MGD and other ones. Never used "get the red out"
I use Hybak in UK because when i put contacts in my eyes they feel dryer than if im using glasses. Hybak is preservative free and i literally only have to use it twice a day.
I use preservative free, Refresh. Can only do 1 a day cause more leads to stinging and bad vision. Had full cornea transplant just over a year ago. Tried all the tips, nothing works seemingly.
That's such a bummer to hear Matt. How is the transplant coming along? I imagine you are still taking topical steroids long term?
Enjoy your videos. Yes, long term drops. I'm 58, born with glaucoma so I praise God I have vision in 1 eye anyway that got the transplant. Antihistamines can also dry eyes so I recently stopped those. Thanks much you are appreciated.
hyabak but just had cataract surgery on both eyes the last eye three months ago !
Doc can I ask some questions, my eyes feel burn when i put my eyedrops , does it affect the vision or not? I feel anxious and I don't know how to remove the feeling of burning
Can you do a video on nystagmus please?
I tried few brands and a gel, there was one brand that stung, and the few of others just made my eyes dryer soon after ,also gel just dryed out and made my eyes feel sticky, havent gone to the doctor yet tho
I used HYLO-FORTE prescribed by my Dr. It's now it's getting worse... Please advise. Thanks Dr.
I use Systane and this happens to me.
I've been suffered with dry eyes for years especially when i wake up. It felt dry like Sahara Desert
I have recently bought Ivizia preserve-free per recommendation also started taking eye health supplements containing Lutein eyes are still red and burning any suggestions??
In the past, I've had to use prescription eye drops with BAK for years(6-12X/day) and also have dry eye syndrome.
How would I know if my doctor is discerning the damage from BAK or from having dry eye?
Do they look the same?
Good evening Dr I have dryness I put cell wet eye drops and eye mist gell is this good I have blurry eyes
Ditto. Whatever brand I use.
I was doing so well when I found Retaine MGD. However, they disappeared from the shelf.
I always like em ur the 👌 best
I’m having reaction and my eyes irritate me after going to the hospital to get an eye drop I’m going to wait one day or two days if it keeps irritating me I’m going back to the hospital
Hey I've suddenly started seeing floaters like 2 weeks ago and didn't think much of it at first but the just two days ago there was a rapid increase in the amount of the tiny little ones and I'm getting concerned
Floaters, like redness, usually come with dry eye. It's the unholy trinity.
If you had flashing in the eyes before the floaters increased, you should go to your eye doctor ASAP. Tell them when you make the appointment so they know. The viscous part of the eye pulls away from the retina, this can cause detached retina so it should be checked ASAP.
@@vw5056 yeah mine increased after dry eyes which lead to burning in my eyes and increased my floaters.
I have severe dry eyes due to lasik surgery and im using the autologous serum. I've got a very slow improvement as what my doctor says.what is the best i drops do you suggest for me to use together with the autoserum?
I got some Clear Eyes triple relief eye drops recently in the past week or so to help with my eyes. It seems to work since I use them before going to sleep at night to prevent waking up not being able to open my eyes and feeling like grains of sand in them like before.
Though they do tend to burn sometimes as well when I use them I just started ooking fkr other ways to help.
I should try a warm compress and get an eye mask you can heat up to put over them.
Would you recommend using preservative-free eyedrops as a general maintenance/ preventative measure? For example, if someone has dry eyes generally but doesn't need eyedrops that day, could they benefit from using eye drops to make sure their eyes stay moist? Do preservative-free eyedrops cause any harm to the eye, or are they 100% good?
I believe they can play a role for maintenance, in that dry eye is all about homeostasis. For many people, even if they are not symptomatic, the salt or osmolarity may be thrown off and that can lead to a cascade of dryness. For people who frequently experience dryness, I often recommend at least twice a day dosing. But you may want to ask your eye care provider about how severe your condition is and if they recommend it.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thanks!
i'll start with a couple drops of artificial tears as an eyewash before i put in contacts for the day, which extends how long i can stand wearing them. i've occasionally used blink contacts and blink-n-clean drops whilst wearing. never had to use red-out drops, though
