How did you like my wife's acting in the video? 😀 Have you ever had to use eye ointment before?
I have dull yellow eyes and I feel uncomfortable. Can oiltment whiten my eyes?
@@linaphiri7570 If the ointment is treating an underlying condition or inflammation, then it could help recover the eyes to their natural white color. But they won't dye your sclera more white if that is what you are asking.
I did it by myself
Thanks brother I appreciate
@@DrEyeGuy hhh really I appreciate and my eye still burning and itching and stinging and I pot hot water with salt and I am feeling good and thanks for everything
How sad that the pharmacy didn't explain this to me but I had to learn it on RUclips. Thank you so much
@@shannonwhite3721 I feel in you
Thank you for explaining how to do apply!
Thank you so much for this video! My son got prescribed this instead of drops so I needed to see how it’s done.
When I had bell's palsy and I had to use eye ointment I went to Dr. EyeGuy for his golden nuggets of wisdom. I hate hate hate putting things in my eye and would have never gotten through it without you. Thanks a bunch doc!
Those Golden Nuggets of wisdom are magical. 😄
Very helpful tutorial, now i know how the right application 👍
Thanks Doctor. It is helpful 👍
*I have to start eye ointment tomorrow and this video makes me feel a bit better.*
I have the exact problem you described--the ointment strings out of the eye when I pull the tube back. I'll try the finger technique. Thanks.
Really helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the advice
Hi, I just had to get this from my eye doctor.i needed to know how to do this
Thanks for the super helpful tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent instruction on how to administer eye ointments.
Thank you! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for giving us the finger ... that's a really good tip
I now feel certified to apply ointment to my eye. Thanks for the helpful tips
I'll send the certificate in the mail. 😉
Thanks Doc!!!👀
Thanks Doc. Very helpful.
You're welcome, glad it could help.
Thankyou! Very helpful! 💧
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Excellent tutorial
Thank you! Thanks for commenting as well.
U told me how to use it better then the pharmacy thank you
You're welcome. 🙂
Very helpful, thank you Dr Eye Guy! I tried adding Muro 128 last night for the first time using the applicator tube and got the "strings" everywhere except in my eye! Tonight I will definitely try your method using the finger instead.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully trying the finger will work better.
Thanks. The standard recommended procedure is almost impossible to control accurately for an individual applying to their own eyes. The finger method is possible and not a bad solution. This is an area ready for an improvement in service, preloaded applicator pads or something. Tiny squirt tubes.
A great video.
Thanks doc, it was really helpful, I wasn't sure how to apply the ointment but now i do. Thanks to you. Just one question tho: do we need to keep the eye where we applied the ointment closed for a certain amount of time even after that 30 sec - 1 min time
Thank you for your videos it was very helpful could you possibly tell me what this ointment treats because infection come back a couple of times erythromycin ophthalmic ointment thank you
Thank you so much
Glad it helped! Thanks for commenting!
A very timely video for my requirement. Thanks for sharing this important message. Unfortunately doctors are too busy counting time to allay our fears of right way of doing it.
Thank you! This is one of the main reasons I make videos like this.
@@DrEyeGuy and you have even time to reply….
Bless you.
Great video and advice! My question is should I avoid consuming alcohol while using this ointment?
Thank you
You're welcome!
I've never used eye ointment before and the pharmacist had to explain it to me in a rush..
Thank you so much for this video! Just letting you know you helped another one get better!
Thank you for commenting this. Spendin gthe time to make this video makes it all worth it if I can help at least one out there.
What of im using erythromycin ophthalmic ointment for a bacterial affection eye should I still put it on fhe same way if i don't have any drops
Hi Dr
How do we wash our eyes next day? By warm water and soap? Or do we need to use a tissue and clean inside the lid and out?
Awsome video but can you please tell me do I need to wash my hands with soap after applying eye ointment or I can wash only with water after applying it?
Loved this video... especially your wives acting! 😂 Very entertaining.
She made the video that much better!
How long does vision get blurry and when should i open my eyes after eye gel?
Your techniques are right on but that gooey gel still never wants to break off from finger or tube tip. It's a great challenge. I, too, think the finger method works better since the gel refuses to let go of the tube tip. Either way it's a mess and I've been doing it for 2 years. Bravo to those who've mastered it!
Yeah, my eye ointment never drops out of the tube even though my doctor said, "just let it drop onto the red bottom part of your eye."
Doc, what if the stye is located in the upper of the eye. How should we apply the ointment? Both in lower and upper?
Drop before ointment got it😉 thanks
Important Golden Nugget
For my stye, my eye doctor said i didn't need to apply the ointment (neomycin, polymyxin B, and Dexamethasone) directly into the eye as you show, but rather apply it across both eyelids, top and bottom. Apply at bedtime, if some gets in the eye, fine, but no need to apply into the pocket. Does this make sense, Dr. EyeGuy?
I dream of the day the same can be had with viscous eyedrops like CellVisc. I have severe ocular rosacea and have been prescribed erythromycin ointment and MaxiDex steroid ointment. With arthritic fingers it's quite impossible to apply. So...
Got myself sterile long-stem Q-Tips. Apply 1/4 inch strip and "roll" the ointment strip onto the inner eyelid. Tkles a bit of practice but it works.
BTW Doc, before step 1, I'd clean the ointment tube with alcohol . In ur vid, after washing your hands you handle the tube which was handled prior to washing.
Cheers!
If I use an ointment before bed what is the best way to wash it off in the morning? I have MGD.
Soooo glad I just found your videos!
Glad you found my videos as well. You could use lid scrubs, like ocusoft lid wipes, and that is beneficial for you eyelids as well. As well as using eye drops in the morning.
I've seen the video on how to give your toddler eye drops. But how do you give your toddler ointment. Same position you used in the eye drop video and then use the tips from this video?
Is it the same for ointment to apply on eyelids..? For blepharitis
Gud day doc am i asking if cequa cyclosporine opthalmic solution 0.09% is better to eyes withbor without dry eyes coz my sometimes feels itching n burning sensation after usingnof cellpone n is cequa is otc means over the counter?And is that safe?
I was prescribed ABX ointment by MD. After placing the strip in, most of it went into my eyelashes. I keep wiping my eyelashes since they feel thick and goopy. Does the ointment cause more itchiness/swelling since I keep trying to wipe excess off?
I have no trouble getting the ointment in my eye, but I'm having trouble getting it to actually stay in the eye! I'll try your method & will shut my eye for 30 seconds to see if that makes a difference. I was following another video where they said to blink, perhaps that is the issue.
I hear ya. Some brands of eye ointment can take a while to dissolve. It might take longer then 30 seconds to dissolve a little bit in the eye. Let me know how it goes! Thanks for the comment!
If you have cold hands, using your fingertip may harden the ointment. While washing your hands, using warmer water to heat up your fingers. Spreads like butter, then.
Awesome tip! Thanks for commenting this.
Erythromycin any use for pink eye?
Could it be applied with a cotton swab or some sort of sterile applicator?
Brilliant! everything you advised I needed to take on board, especially since I put the tip of the applicator all over the inside of my eye failing to release the ointment from it. It was very frustrating! But now I know it's okay to use my finger tip instead of the nozzle tip. And it's also great that I can sanitize the applicator tip just to be double safe. Nobody else seems to be advising that in particular, and I was worried about how to deal with the matter. Thank you very much 🙂
Wow 1/2 hour between oitment doses. Don't know what to say (I do but would not be appropriate). Thanks for the tips.
I know what you mean. Thanks for watching.
Hi Doctor, all the eye ointments on the market have white petrolatum on them is that ingredient really safe to the eye? Since is from petroleum? Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, it's considered safe. There are always people that might have reactions to it.
After using ointment at night, Morning we should wash the eye or not?
How long do I wait before I can drive
So after use, should i wipe the applicator with a tissue?
Dr. EyeGuy how can i put eye ointment in my 2yo eye with pink eye?? Help PLEASE
I started used Zigna tonight and I accidentally used it on my eyelid because that’s how other ointments were applies and not inside and on both instead of the right one which is affected. I’m very anxious that it will have a bad side affect and I find no resources online.
How are your eyes feeling? Any reaction? Are you saying you used cigna on the outside eyelid?
How long do you have to wait before going to sleep; if you have to apply ointment just before bedtime?
You can go asleep right after you put the ointment in. You don't have to wait a certain amount of time. Some people like to clean the ointment off of their eyelids and eyelashes before they go to bed.
Erythromycin ointment 3.5GM we can use the same way my son is afraid the er dr said to use it so it goes IN the eye ?
We r doing this he said just incase the symptoms confused him seem like viral and bacterial 😢
How long should the ointment be in the eye before I wash my eyes if I put it on daytime
Good question. At least 15 minutes. If the ointment is a medication like an antibiotic then at least 15 minutes, but try and go longer if you can.
My eye has gotten smaller. What do I do
Is it ok to put eye ointment (tacrolimus) , when the child is in sleep? 5 year old , he didn't allow to apply eye ointment. 😢
What happens if the non-steroid eye ointment thins the skin?
What if i have stye on my upper eyelid?
If you have ointment for a stye, you can still use the same method, applying it on the bottom of the eyelid, and then moving your eyes up and down to move the ointment to the top eyelid. You can also apply the ointment on the top eyelid at the base of the eyelashes, but it's a little trickier.
Hi doctor . l use the eye ointment bed time ?
Yes, eye ointment is perfect to use before bedtime.
What benfits for ointment before bedtime? If one feels OK upon awakening & NO lid seal issue, still need ointment BEFORE bedtime? Thanks, great caring expert.
Is it Normal to see blurry when opening the eye?
If you mean opening your eye after you put the ointment in, then yes, it's normal. The thicker gel or ointment can blur vision for a little bit.
That's the solution indeed, using directly from the tube is the wrong way, it's dangerous and inaccurate. Not sure why they recommend that application method as default, finger is the only way to go.
Do you do this in waking time, or do you go to sleep after you do it?
Only once a day before going to bed
Ummmm, can I apply the ointment on my upper eyelid if I have a stye?
You absolutely can
what a happy family, can i use Qtips, not the finger?
Thank you! And yes, you can absolutely use qtips.
I got eye ointment called ophthalmic. From my doctor she think I have some virus infection cause my right eye be very watery right eye lid was red from wiping my eyes because of watery feeling .she told me call my eye doctor have them do exam see what causing it could be behind eye or pupils.i have put ointment on 3 tines a day I have tiny tube 5mg/GM.4 tube in total .my left eye is not watery at all more dry then watery doc told me use med for both eyes.my eyes never been this water or dry during winter.but during spring time allergy starts from pollen.i use nasal spray.in case I need it when I go outside.i hope it nothing really bad but when I see eye doc maybe they find out cause .
How are your eyes doing now? Any improvement?
@@DrEyeGuy gel did not work well for me so I went to my eye doctor she told me gel for eyes do not work for some people have me nite go to my pharmacy get special eye drop to use twice a day for 2 weeks see if it help had small infection in tear duct it take time fix it .going see how it works
Hey doc! Hope you notice me. How many days before the red eye heals using eye ointment?❤❤ Hope You notice and reply this 💖
Hi! It would depend on what is causing the red eyes.
@@DrEyeGuy or does it heal itself?
@DrEyeGuy Can eye ointment heal subconjunctival hemorrhage or does it heal itself?
@@DrEyeGuy doc?
@@Nah29q73 a Subconjunctival Hemorrhages usually heals itself. Artificial tears and ointment can help with comfort.
How long will the blurred vision last after putting the ointment in my eyes?
Maybe 10 min give or take
👌🙏🙏
Your wife is so adorable so funny
Help me im scared
Same
I have to do this now for the first time ever and I’m so upset 😂 it’s so gross 😨 wish me luck
SAME!! I get so freaked out with anything having to do with my eyes and I can’t get my lower lid down that low… there’s just no way 😂 so I’m not sure if I’m using the ointment properly 😢
No wonder my eye wasn't getting better put it around the eye it's the neomycin type
Its easy getting it in the eye. The problem is KEEPING it in. A minute later all the ointment has fallen out 😭
Some of it come out. But hopefully you can keep a lot of it in the eye so it's still useful.
I don't understand, why they invent such a difficult-to-apply eye ointment. I really had a hard time applying even when using finger. I am phobia to see those in red..
I wish I got oral antibiotics. This sucks.
Ointment isn't the same as gel. No videos about gel on youtube
Low key can't u just use vaseline in the eye since it's basically that 🤔
