High Eye Pressure. Mine went from 26 to 30 last year and was 30 last week, it's been over 22 for 40yrs. My cornea thickness is only slightly thicker than normal I'm told. I'm being monitored for Glaucoma and have just been upgraded to a Glaucoma Suspect, which I believe means I haven't got Glaucoma but have the right conditions for it. UK. (I have a ptyrigium as well).
By chance I discovered my Pinguecula is getting smaller and the redness is going away when I use organic castor oil eyelash serum. I’ve been putting it on my eyelids at night and any time I’m not leaving my home. Many people claim that castor oil is a anti-inflammatory and reduces lumps and cysts in the body, others claim there is no proof. 🤷♀️ I will continue to use this since I am seeing great results. It also helps with lubrication in the eye area.
Hey, would you mind to give an explanation how to use the organic castor oil ur talking about. What brand and and what are the improvements that you’ve noticed?
I had that yellow spots in my eye from a long time. Now i know about it thanks to you. I was quite afraid after watching your thumbnail but now there is nothing to worry. Love from India ❤️
My left eye has been aggravated and inflamed due to my pinguecula and when I thought my eyedrops were actually helping they were actually irritating and causing more issues like redness, soon developed pingueculitus lucky for Systane balance restoring eyedrops to lubricate my eye is what tone down and made my eye appear much better very quickly. I’m so glad for this kind of informative and helpful videos. My eye is improving fairly quickly.
Same, I am 5 years with the pain of irritation that I want to keep my eyes closed. By my own I have found some stuff, gel lubricantd without conservants, washing my eyelids, and lately taking omega 3, that I read it helped to the brain, ans later on to the eye lubrication, my irritation pain is less frenquently, but the redness is there always, sometimes even more red. The oft. here, which is the only one, said that i cannot get surgery and gave me a lubricant with hialuronasa?, but i felt my eyes kept asking for more each 30 min, the gel one, sometimes make me feel dry after hours :)
Thank you. You're the best. I had pterygium iit was removed by my Opthalmologist Dr. Weinberger at Kaiser Hospital Los Angeles California. No pain at all. Its been 12 yrs it did not reoccur. Thank you. Keep safe Doc.
I have also ptregiym in my both eyes since childhood and my sister also have ptregiym in eyes... But she done surgery by dr.... But ptregium again growth... We are worried
Thank you!!!! Yes! Blepharitis is an important topic and there are always some new treatments coming out. I have been researching Ocular Rosacea a bit more and should have an update on those two conditions soon. Much appreciated.
Very clearly explained about both type of P.. I am suffering all the blood test and chest X ray my opthomologist concluded as Sarcoidosis. Thanks for the information
Great video. I had a ptrigium removed and my eye doctor used a cadaver piece to put back in and unfortunately my eye wouldn't accept it and so a surgeon had to remove it and then he took a piece from the back of my eye and now my eye is back to white and not red anymore.
Dr. You are so smart. I find all your videos very informative. I have had myopia sice I was 9 years old. If I lived in your area, you would definitely be my eye doctor.
i have reversed this condition four times now. It can be done. With plenty of hydration, avoid vitamin c, as you may have had too much of it. That what caused mine a few times. Antioxidant supplements and foods as well. blink one hundred times every half an hour. it will disappear in three days or so
Very interesting thank you! I would like to see a video on the different types of synthetic lens they put it during cataract surgery. And also maybe one on why some people have prism in their glasses.
Both very good topics. I have been planning to do a more in depth series about cataract surgery, including a breakdown of implant options. Prism lenses would be an interesting one too, the simple answer is to help alleviate eyestrain or double vision.
My pinguecula is on the outer part of my eye. I always used to sleep on that side and thought it was from my pillow case irritating it. 🤔 I'm so glad I found your channel. 😊👀
@@southerncalifornia3155 The only way to treat it is to have it surgically removed. They are usually harmless. Mine isn't noticeable so I just leave it be.
I got one recently and it’s on my eye with astigmatism. I was diagnosed with dry eye and I guess it got so bad I developed pterygium. I wear Sun glasses every time I go out with full UV protection but it wasn’t enough. Now I live with eye drops near by just to make sure to prevent any irritation.
I had pterygium in my right eye for over ten years and it did't effect my vision before. But in early december 2022 i got eye infection in my right eye and eye doctor said that i got inflammation because of virus infection. Doc gave me maxidex eye drop (corticosteroid). After a month my eye fully recover from the infection but i noticed that my astigmatism getting bad from before. Doc suggest me to remove the pterygium in my right eye coz it can be the cause of astigmatism. Untill now i didn't decide wether to remove it or not. Recently i also have dry eye and need me to use mosturizer eye drop daily.
I noticed my eye started to be quite sore after laser surgery 13 years ago and then noticed this thing growing about 5 years ago..would the laser have caused this?
Hi Dr, Love your videos, they are very informative. Is there any chance you could do a video covering marginal keratitis? I've had multiple ulcers over the past couple of months and my doctors are telling me it's due to MGD/blepharitis even though I do the recommended treatment of compresses and lid massages. I would just like to hear you talk about it as you clearly know your stuff. Cheers
What eye drops should I use for Pinguecula? I have dry eyes and already use Refresh Omega 3 eye drops and I just started using Bruder eye mask for the dry eyes. I have been diagnosed with Pinguecula also.
Love watching your handsome face! I often get an irritated eye once a year after being outside doing yard work in the spring. My primary care physician would prescribe eye drops that had anti inflammatory and antibiotics in them. It would take over a week to feel better. Would that be one of these conditions? If so next time I will see an eye doctor instead of my primary care doctor. Thanks 😎
Very helpful, thank You very much❤. I am from Oman, I started during Ophthalmology rotation this week (it extends 3 weeks only). I am using Toronto notes (highly recommended).
I had a pterygium when I was a kid. Went to many doctors and lots of different drops tried. Not sure what they contained, but it eventually went away. I have scar tissue from it though and have ghost vessels that sometimes get irritated. Also told I have holes or lattice appearance of my retina and am at risk for a detached retina. My eyes are messed up, but I can see, so that's good. 😎😎
My dad has perfect vision, never in his life has he needed glasses, and have never had eye complaints or issues, like 2 or 3 months ago, he started seeing a shadow in his right eye, and it happened for like a week, until he realized it wasn't going aways, well, his retina was detached, he had to get urgent surgery, 2 more days and I guess he could've lost all his eye, idk how it works, that's what they said, and also on his checks up like 2 weeks after, his left eye retina was going to detach as well, and they caught that one on time, it didn't cause any damage like in his other eye, now, he just sees like a water drop that the ophthalmologist told him it was normal from something they put in there, but he still doesn't need glasses, the ophthalmologist also explain that the retina detachment can happen to anyone, bc as we get older there is like a type of gel like in our eyes but it starts to dry out as we age
Well to my knowledge there is no procedure for these conditions using lasers at this time. Perhaps once a pterygium is removed, lasik or another form of refractive surgery could be used.
I just asked, I was still checking up when my eyes said I can't have surgery yet because I'm still small, do I need a doc to grow up before surgery, I hope you'll notice my question
Something else that has improved my Pinguecula, is Claritin. Allergy season seems to irritate it and make it red and bigger. I took a allergy pill and it looks like it’s practically gone.
since this pinguecula my vision got decreased i now cant see peoples faces from a distance that I usually could before everything became a little blurry
Good to know! Why does sunlight/UV affect the white part of the eye in this case and not the lens directly? Also I wonder why does uv cause red blood vessels to grow in the eye?
Question & I need advice: Is a Conjunctival Cysts the same as Pinguecula and/or does is fall under this term? I have one of these bumps on my left eye--although it's clear, not yellow in color. I've had it for a few years now and it's made wearing my contacts uncomfortable to the point where I've stopped trying over the course of the pandemic. I work from home anyway, so I usually only wear my lenses outside of the house if there's somewhere I need to be but don't want to fiddle with having to keep my glasses clean. My other problem with this bump is that I can't get my eye doctor(s)--been to multiple offices trying to find one who'd help me--to believe me when I visit for my appointments. It's most prominent and raised when my allergies are bad, and I know it's there because I can definitely feel it when I blink. Especially when it's irritated. I've even had the dumb luck of coming to my annual eye exam with it raised and clearly visible only for my doctor to turn around and say "Sorry hun, I don't see anything." So Dr. Allen, what can I do?
@@MannuKumar-lv2fm no it is not. I have gone to a few different eye doctors. The last one I’ve gone to says that if she removes the cyst, the scar tissue left behind will probably be more irritating to me. I saw her a few weeks ago and she said she seems to think it’s gotten smaller. I use an allergy eyedrop in the morning and then throughout the day I use moisturizing eyedrop’s. I’m going to see her again in October. She said if he gets bigger to go back and see her and then we would talk about possible surgery.but I still have it. Sometimes I feel it and it’s very irritating, and sometimes I don’t feel it at all. It’s very weird and frustrating.
I’m so sorry you have not gotten the answers that you need. It is very frustrating and scary. I hope and pray that you will find some relief and get some answers. As I hope that whatever it is that I have goes away and I will not need to have any surgery.
Very well done explaint DR i use to have that about 10 years a go ecxacly what t;he eye dr told me.like people working out side get this Like police fire man and so on but it is not there no more dr what i want to ask you if the catarect surgery have to do anything with MRI AFTER YOU GET THE SURGERY DONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANK YOU
Dear Doc. Pls if I v bn diagnosed to have pterygium by a Doctor is wearing sunglasses help to reduce it’s growing and what’s the treatment apart from surgery. Thanks
Hi Dr. I had a pterygium operation but the place where the pterygium was removed was not covered now it's growing back though I was several eye drops. There was something else that grow from the spot and the doctor explained it to be infection or reaction to the surgery. Now my question, will another surgery be done as the pterygium is growing back
It really depends on the type of dryness present (like the cause of it). Usually systane complete or refresh Mega 3 works best for myself. Here is a video going in depth about eye drops. ruclips.net/video/UrmpLwR7vt4/видео.html
Thanks for the information. I do have the ptegyrium that is not too inflammed. I was prescribed systalin, but each time that I use it, I have redness. Please what can I do so far. Thanks you
Any thoughts on the clinical trials for a treatment for Ptygerium? I think stage 3 if the trial is starting by Cloudbreak Pharma I have Ptygerium in both eyes as well as dry eyes. I’ve been on Restasis for 5-6 months and don’t feel any difference
I sunburned my eyes very badly on a weekend spring skiing trip when I was a teen. As an adult now I have large pingueculas on both sides of both eyes. I have allergies and they frequently irritate my eye, plus my eyes always look bloodshot. I want to ask what you think about Interferon alpha-2b eye drops to get rid of them. I've read many positive things about it.
Hello doctor. Great video! Are there any topical treatment for pterygium to possibly shrink, retract the growth? I think mine is starting to give me blurry vision. Eyedrops you would recommend?
I was taught that it's main treatment is surgery and then follow-up adjunct therapy. The Adjunct therapy includes Beta radiation therapy, and antimitotic agents (to stop cell division) like Hydromacin C and fluoroUracil drops. But the best bet is to ask your doctor what cam be done about it.
I don't know what mine is, just like crack at the sclera i have lived with it for 6 months since then my eyes is being sensitive to light, i can't stay wherever someone spray perfume if am going to school by any means of transport(like bus) and air enters inside my eyes it become worse most especially at that particular cracked scleral spot but the good thing is that my vision is still very clear am not experiencing anything blured, my fear is that i asked someone he says that they may remove that my eyes am just very scared
Hello doc, I guess I have this pinguecula both in my eyes. Can you recommend an eye drops? I also noticed that if I dont get sleep for 8 hrs my eyes are more yellowish. Is that normal ?
Sleeping helps with reducing inflammation and perhaps there is a connection. If this is a regular thing or getting worse it would be wise to consult a local eye doctor about it. Here is a video I did on some of the best eye drops out right now ruclips.net/video/UrmpLwR7vt4/видео.html
I recently had to start wearing an RGP contact lens in my left eye to try to correct stromal scarring following an ulcer. I was wearing it every day for about six weeks and one morning I fitted the lens and had a severely painful sensation in the eye which meant I had to remove it straight away. I attended my eye care provider and was told to stop using the RGP contact lens and they would make an appointment to see the contact lens clinic (hospital dept) for a review of the use of the lens. I did notice a pinguecula on the nasal side of the eye and I suspect that it's this that caused the pain, I had never noticed the pinguecula previously. the hospital suggested using eye drops (Hylo forte) regularly, which I have been doing for about 4 weeks. I am waiting for an appointment but would was wondering if the hospital are likely to now move me onto a scleral lens. Any thoughts?? Thank you so much
I noticed having a growth on the colored part of my eye. Watched it for sometime. After going to the doctor to have it removed, thinking that it was a pterygium, come to find out it was basal cell.

@@femaledragun7102Apply straight to the eye before bedtime, the oil blurs your vision. Use an organic oil in a dropper.

@@DoctorEyeHealth PInguecula Doc, and I guess I got it from prolonged exposure to the sun during our annual summer activities

I have it, and it is growing. Sir, kindly recommend eyes drop to enable me to get it away.
Good to know! Why does sunlight/UV affect the white part of the eye in this case and not the lens directly? Also I wonder why does uv cause red blood vessels to grow in the eye?

Oh no! Have you seen anyone for that?
@@DoctorEyeHealth going to see someone this week
@@thewizard2842 any update? Are you having surgery to remove?
Hi Dr.
I had a pterygium operation but the place where the pterygium was removed was not covered now it's growing back though I was several eye drops. There was something else that grow from the spot and the doctor explained it to be infection or reaction to the surgery.
Now my question, will another surgery be done as the pterygium is growing back
Doc What medicine for pinquecula because I have eyes
Hi thank you Dr for this vidio it is very helpful
Glad you enjoyed it!
Which is the best drops
Thanks for the video - which eye drop would you recommend (I don’t seem to suffer from dry eyes, probably developed my spot from UV and dust)? Thanks!
It really depends on the type of dryness present (like the cause of it). Usually systane complete or refresh Mega 3 works best for myself. Here is a video going in depth about eye drops. ruclips.net/video/UrmpLwR7vt4/видео.html
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thanks!!!
Thanks for the information.
I do have the ptegyrium that is not too inflammed. I was prescribed systalin, but each time that I use it, I have redness. Please what can I do so far. Thanks you
Thank you!
How can you create yellow bumps on your eyes ❓❓❓❓
Any thoughts on the clinical trials for a treatment for Ptygerium? I think stage 3 if the trial is starting by Cloudbreak Pharma
I have Ptygerium in both eyes as well as dry eyes. I’ve been on Restasis for 5-6 months and don’t feel any difference
What kind of topical medication would you prescribe for pterygium? Specific names please
I sunburned my eyes very badly on a weekend spring skiing trip when I was a teen. As an adult now I have large pingueculas on both sides of both eyes. I have allergies and they frequently irritate my eye, plus my eyes always look bloodshot. I want to ask what you think about Interferon alpha-2b eye drops to get rid of them. I've read many positive things about it.
Is a bright light of the phone also worsens pterygium conditions?.
i have yellow spot eye and also the eyes are so yellow please suggest any tips or eyedrops
CLPU, CLARE, SMILE, SEAL and 3 & 9 o'Clock Staining video please...
Hello doctor. Great video! Are there any topical treatment for pterygium to possibly shrink, retract the growth? I think mine is starting to give me blurry vision. Eyedrops you would recommend?
Same problem
Use perservative free eye drops. And wear sunglasses all the time.
I was taught that it's main treatment is surgery and then follow-up adjunct therapy. The Adjunct therapy includes Beta radiation therapy, and antimitotic agents (to stop cell division) like Hydromacin C and fluoroUracil drops.
But the best bet is to ask your doctor what cam be done about it.
My mother has been diagnosed with pterygium but she is a homemaker and is not exposed to any UV rays .Then what may be the reason ?
Is tetracycline good for pinguecula
Can a light of my room can cause these problems?
I don't know what mine is, just like crack at the sclera i have lived with it for 6 months since then my eyes is being sensitive to light, i can't stay wherever someone spray perfume if am going to school by any means of transport(like bus) and air enters inside my eyes it become worse most especially at that particular cracked scleral spot but the good thing is that my vision is still very clear am not experiencing anything blured, my fear is that i asked someone he says that they may remove that my eyes am just very scared
Please make a video on Carboxymethylcellulose relub eye drop
Can these effect contact lenses not sitting on three eye correctly
I just have a couple brown spots on my sclera that drive me crazy. I’ve been told their birthmarks because I’ve had them as long as I can remember
Doc I got a problem on my left eye,,,it’s getting red when to much sun exposure,,,,
thanks doctor
i am shan race man from myanmar.😁
Oh cool! I hope life is treating you well
When do we remove a pterygium ? After it reaches the pupil ?
Hello doc, I guess I have this pinguecula both in my eyes. Can you recommend an eye drops? I also noticed that if I dont get sleep for 8 hrs my eyes are more yellowish. Is that normal ?
Sleeping helps with reducing inflammation and perhaps there is a connection. If this is a regular thing or getting worse it would be wise to consult a local eye doctor about it. Here is a video I did on some of the best eye drops out right now ruclips.net/video/UrmpLwR7vt4/видео.html
how old are you when you get this? im 15 and i also have this on my both eyes.
@@HaydenMint are either of your guys‘ eyes dry?
@@ryanmiller5810 Sometimes i get dry eyes when im dehydrated and my eyes doesnt have glasses and it looks worse for me

I recently had to start wearing an RGP contact lens in my left eye to try to correct stromal scarring following an ulcer. I was wearing it every day for about six weeks and one morning I fitted the lens and had a severely painful sensation in the eye which meant I had to remove it straight away. I attended my eye care provider and was told to stop using the RGP contact lens and they would make an appointment to see the contact lens clinic (hospital dept) for a review of the use of the lens. I did notice a pinguecula on the nasal side of the eye and I suspect that it's this that caused the pain, I had never noticed the pinguecula previously. the hospital suggested using eye drops (Hylo forte) regularly, which I have been doing for about 4 weeks. I am waiting for an appointment but would was wondering if the hospital are likely to now move me onto a scleral lens. Any thoughts?? Thank you so much
does fasting help it get healed or not?
What type of eye drops can i use for pterygium? Can you help me guys
I noticed having a growth on the colored part of my eye. Watched it for sometime. After going to the doctor to have it removed, thinking that it was a pterygium, come to find out it was basal cell.
What did it look like when it was growing??
@@ryanmiller5810
2-4mm black spot is how it started. Slowly growing. All gone now
