The DRY EYE DIET (Eat This, Not That for Relief) 2024
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Dry Eyes is no laughing matter. There are many drops you can buy to "treat" this condition, but none of them correct the root cause of dry eye. That's where the dry eye diet comes in, telling you what to eat and what to avoid to improve or reverse your symptoms of dry eye.
The physiology of the eye is quite complex, so taking some eye supplement is not going to help much. And, by adding the foods I talk about in this video, and avoiding the foods I call out, you can give your eye everything it needs to stay moist and comfortable.

I have suffered with dry eyes for years due to Sjogrens Syndrome. In the last 60 days I took your advice and started eating lots of bacon. I put a teaspoon of bacon grease each cup of hot tea. I also began sleeping with a Hand towel covering my eyes at night. I have seen great improvement. I no longer awake with eye pain. I started strength training, no sugar, no caffeine and I have lost 10 total inches in 60 days. I'm 74 and determined to be healthy. Thanks for all you do.
Hello, may I ask how the Sjogren's is today? I also have Sjogren's with muscle pain and dry eyes. Is all of that better? TYIA.
I've recently tried castor oil on my eye lashes to gently get it into my eyes. It has helped quite a bit.
As a side note, my husband has been having sharp near pain in his knee for months. The doctors are stumped. After watching a RUclips video, I put the oil on a 4x4' gauze, wrapped a bit of plastic wrap around it yo keep the oil ftom getting on things, and then a knee sleeve over that. He hasn't needed oxycodone for three nights now! And in the morning, his pain was completely gone. After suffering for months, we are very thankful. 🙏🏼
All the best.
Congratulations! I have had dry eyes for years but just recently received the diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome. It's so difficult to avoid sugar---they even put dextrose in iodized salt now. I am 78 now. Sounds like you are destined for success due to your own efforts!
why do you use hand towel?
For years, I used to wake up nearly every morning with my eyes dry and painful and almost unable to open. I went Keto a year and a half ago. I just realized it has been a long, long time since my eyes hurt in the morning. I didn't even realize it had gone away!
I'm keto now 2 years but still dry eyes in morning.
@@MrDavidknigge Maqui berry is the only nutritional supplement that I know of that might help. No guarantees.
oh my, I forgot about that joy! when I couldn't even open my eyes they hurt so bad and were a mess!! so much better now. went carnivore and quit all booze and coke.
@@katjongeward7155 so did only eating meat help with your dry eyes?
@@MrDavidknigge check your gall bladder, Dr. Berg explains if your bile doesn't work beacuse e.g. of stones in your gallbladder, you don't absorb fat and fat soluble vitamines like vit A.
Thank you Dr berry i lost 190 lbs thanks to you ❤❤
That is AWESOME!!! Congrats!! I need to lose about 90, so I'm starting on it now.
Congrats!
Keto makes it very easy !
@@justsaying4451 I started 29 days ago and have lost 21 pounds. NO cravings for carbage. Love a 16 hour fast followed by a good healthy fat. You won't believe how you're going to feel.
Congratulations 🥳
I smiled when he mentioned “Big Ass Salads”. Always current, hip and relevant.
My dry eyes started after Lasik. I have used prescription drops and even had plugs. Drops helped somewhat. I started adding cod liver oil to my diet and to my surprise it has helped my dry eyes. Who knew!
lasik destroyed e eyes as well.
are you still ok?
What brand and where didnyou buy it? thx
Yeah, Even I have dry eyes after lasik. I'll try cod liver oil. Thanks
Dry eye after lasik does go away eventually, so it might no be related.
Lasik messed me up too
This is true. My dry eye problems completely went away after eating high fat diet. No more eye drops!
WOW! I just realized that I haven't used eye drops in 29 days. I would wake up and feel like I had been in a sand storm. Eyes stuck shut.Tomorrow is 30 days on Keto/Carnivore. Imagine that! AND have shed 21 pounds. THANK YOU DR. BERRY!.
I'll try it, i was avoiding meat
Wonderful!
Congratulations!
hi can you recommended witc Keto diet to follow pls?
I'm 64 year old woman who needs to lose at least 100 pounds. I've started the carnivore diet this week after watching Dr. Berry's and others videos. So excited to do this. My goal is to do it for at least a month and assess my health and keep going if I feel it's going well. After just a few days I feel lighter and my skin seems softer and more clear. I think I'm probably in a bit of a detox from sugar and carbs, but I'm very much thrilled with how full and satisfied I feel. Thank you Dr Berry! I plan to check back in with my results after a month. 🙏❤️👍
Oh and hoping my dry eyes improve too!
will you share an update?
Rooting for you!
I’m just starting too. Trying to lose 15 (Covid) pounds. Started intermittent fasting 3 days ago and feeling lighter already.
Good luck, yes let us know how things go for you. 😉
WOW, this is awesome. My sister has scleroderma and I have been telling her to change her diet for years now; and I am so happy you addressed this issue specifically. I am definitely going to share!!!
Looking great, Dr. Berry!!!! 👍 Younger than ever!!!
Wow, Who would know the dry eye had a root in the food too. I always heard associations with exposure to dust, contaminated places, sun, overfocused behavior, and that it provoked carnocity to the side of middle face. Thank you very much. Topics like this are excuse for my dad and I to stay in contact. It is amazing the years you have in your area of work, 30 years I heard. Thank you for sharing good knowledge!
This is PURE GOLD !! saved to my YT Medical list. Thanks Doc.
Thank you so much for showing up and making the difference to our lives!
This is so awesome! My eyes keep getting super red lately, so I really appreciate this info!
So happy Dr. Berry presented on this subject, which is rarely discussed. This condition can be so very painful it is beyond anything. Very valuable nutritional points made here. I have never heard of any actual research to back his ideas up, though, but that's natural since you can't patent food. My eye docs never speak about what Dr. B. just said, and he's not an eye doctor. I am eating high fat and am losing weight, as it keeps me from getting hungry.
That's what I needed to hear , you saved me time pain and money once again my favorite doctor 💯💃❤
Wow, thanks so much! I hated the burning of my dry eyes, and your advice has helped improve them amazingly.
GREAT VIDEO! YOU AND DR. BERG ARE AWESOME!
Of my list of healed ailments, thanks to one year of keto, I had not even remembered my dry, sandy eyes until this video! It's just so normal not to be bothered with that irritation, rubbing them all the time to try and encourage moisture. Wow! When I think back to the discomfort and annoyance ... Very grateful.
Anyone who thinks supplements are totally unnecessary is usually wrong. Hundreds of human studies show how helpful they can be, particularly for those with limited diets. I understand that omega 3s have no value but Triglyceride Omega 3s in human studies show benefits for dry eyes though it's not going to make or break and they cost a lot more so I would not recommend it. I have found that Lacterrifin capsules and alpha lipoic acid (200 mg daily) is effective but don't take 600 mg or your hair can fall out. Glycine supplements can help and collagen can help. There is a Preservative Free eye ointment with manuka honey and glycerin that has really helped severe eye dryness. Squeezing not blinking my eyes helped me produce tears.
Thank you for this. I don’t even know if it will work, I just appreciate someone trying to help me.
I’m hooked on Carnivore diet and hooked on your fabulous health teaching. Thank you soooo very much.
Brilliantly done and to the point solution for dry eyes....this is what I have came after doing 3 weeks research.
Boy did I need this video! Best birthday present ever....Thanks doc!
Amazing info,👍 thx for all u n ur team do!💯
Thank you always for your knowledge and expertise. I found you a year and a half ago and went on the keto living. I lost 40 pounds and as a female I feel awesome. My husband lost 55 pounds and he looks and feels great. Thank you. However, I just awaken with pain in my right eye and did not know why. I felt like I had sand in my eye and my eyes are so tired and I feel exhausted so I have to close them in the middle of the day so I can continue with my day. I went to the eye doctor and he suggested lubricate eye drops but I am applying them 6 seven times a day. As you said, the sand feeling in my eye has disappeared but my eyes ache with pain and I need to close my eyes or take a nap. I also have high cholesterol of over 400 and my doctor wants me to stop keto but I feel that my cholesterol is hereditary and it is always going to be high. I am a mess right now and so confused. I am increasing my omega with fish such as salmon and I hope I will feel better by the end of April.
Again, I am lost for words. I stopped all medication for high cholesterol and I feel great. I can do my walks, I can sleep, I am no longer inflamed, and my body aches have disappeared. Thank you for all your insights and knowledge. I will increase my omega intake and hope this eye dry can at least subside or disappear.
OMG! I’m 1 week into my “Keto/Carnivore” experiment, and the first physical symptom I’ve experienced relief from is DRY EYE! Thank you so much! (BTW my first meal today: calf liver, 3 eggs, 2 pieces bacon!)
Nice! Was it meibomial gland dysfunction by chance?
Why so little bacon? Jeez.
It's better than get vitamins through your diet but do you want to gain weight and change your diet? Sure . Well you should if your diet it too much carbs and worse sugar, in particular.
So believer me you should eat right but take more supplements of fish oil, omega 6 (if you have my diet, you will need it.. he's talk about those who eat a lot of junk food, etc) , olive oil , lutein, zeaxanthin. Or go out to the west coast for the perfect salmon.
There are studies underway that indicate choline is good for Meibomian gland dysfunction. Glutathione supplements could help or go ahead take a lot of time to eat the right foods. Take Spermidine - read up on it first, don't trust me or Ken . B12 (not synthetic) can possibly help. Check with you doctor first but eat eggs, don't worry about the cholesterol; Ken is right.
Also they have a new eye product .. called Travaya .. may not be as expensive as you read. Look into it. I have nothing to do with the company. Look into eye drops. Just be careful
I love liver!
@@beau5296 Maybe because they now sell it the price of gold.
THANK YOU for this information. I've had night time dry eye for over a year and just thought it was part of menopause. I'll be opening up the sardine can at dinner soon
Great Video, Dr Berry 🙂
Thank you 👍
Dr.Ken Berry…You, sir, are the very best of the best. Thank you for being you.
Thank you Dr. Berry. More real doctors are giving us meaningful medical advice. Finding the root cause is more important than just fixing symptoms.
Yeah I'm addicted now.. had chronic debilitating nerve-pain for a third of my life that doctors kept getting me to spend tens of thousands on 'managing'... until I found the root cause and was able to **cure** it through lifestyle change... then followed the *actual resolution* of many PTSD triggers through inner-work and lifestyle change instead of medications to manage symptoms (I'm happier than ever and take no medications whatsoever to feel that way), I corrected my chronic eczema and dry eyes by adjusting my diet, etc... nobody told me I could be perfectly healthy all on my own if I knew what lifestyle changes to make. I feel so much more free and empowered these days and take pride in being responsible for my own health!
Thank you so much Doc!!! ❤❤. I have suffered from this for years and this is the first time I have ever heard why or how to fix it. I thought I was doomed to buy eye drops the rest of my life. Thank you so much!!
Omg I found a new fav Dr 😍 thank you so much!!
Thank you dr. Berry can't wait to try this!!!
Doctor Berry massive thanks for teaching what really affects our heath, I have spent lots of money on my eyes health but this video is what I really needed to whatch.
Thank you, I loved your presentation.
So well timed!!
You are a great teacher. I eat most of the foods you suggest but definitely will be adding others. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I have suffered with this for several years. It’s miserable.
Finally - a video from Dr Berry that doesn’t focus on smoke-shaming us…
Txs 4 all u hard work.
Thank you. From today I started your diet, which you write. I have had dry eyes for 15 years. The doctors did not tell me what was wrong with my eyes. A small country and little competition for doctors
Thank you for this sensible insightful suggestion. You have explained how dry eye is caused and cured - something my GP is utterly ignorant of - as is my ophthalmologist! Unreal, but true! All they recommend are eye drops which just don't address the problem. Ken, would you like to come to the UK and run the NHS for us? Please!
Great video Dr Berry 👍💕
Wow! My hubby is on your your diet, the one to lose weight, and fix his diabetes! So I’m already eating some of the things 😊 AND... he’s lost 20 lbs, & is off one of his meds! He feels better, and looks so much better!
Exciting, having a new Doctor!! Thank You!❤️
Sjogren’s Syndrome here. I’ve wanted to dig my eyes out with a spoon due to pain. I’m on two eyedrops several times a day. I’ve had surgery on one eye and don’t care to ever go through that again. Following you has helped keep me on track. I’ve seriously thought of making the trek to TN to see if I need to make you my permanent pcp.
Thanks alot..
Thank you so much for this video..I suffered for years with dry eye...recently I went carnivore and I'm still learning to tweak my diet. I will add in sardines for a Omega 3 source. Thank you so much!!
Thank you very much for this video. I know have no doubt a low fat diet with wrong thinking about healthy oils gave me serious dry eye problems. Eye doctors have tried over priced moisture and redness drops, tetracycline over months, expensive prescription eye drops, laser treatments and recently two rounds of name brand steroid drops with temporary relief. I have been on a keto diet for less than a month now and have seen amazing positive changes. Love the education I get at 61 from your videos to expose the truth. 🙏❤️
You are hilarious! We cauterize the puntum... we don't sew eyelids shut. Usually try a little plug first. The rest was SPOT ON!!! Better info than most ophthalmologists will bother to give.
You are very correct in many ways!
Thank you!! Living in dry Colorado, this is great advice. We love our Keto diet & lifestyle and have had excellent health benefits so far. But, we’ll add even more of the foods you’re recommending to deal better with our low-humidity climate here, which often creates moderately (but still uncomfortable!) itchy, dry eyes. Your advice has always been proven to be Golden for us!🥰
Colorado here too, and this diet helps so much with that and also dry skin 😊
Thank you Dr. Berry I’m going to take your advice and see what happens
I had outpatient surgery 3 days ago to remove a tumor on my uterus, no cancer. I ended up staying an extra couple of days bc my internal organs were out of place with scar tissue and it ended up being a more complicated surgery. Since I wasn’t expecting to stay I didn’t have my lid wipes or anything. Ever since, my eyes seem cured of dry eye.
I wonder if the tumor (grapefruit size), was causing inflammation or an infection? Since surgery i also no longer have back pain. I realize this could be temporary, but I’m praying for a full recovery of my weird symptoms.
Thank you so much for this info
Thank you so much Dr Berry for teaching me about my severe dry eyes! I’ve been given so many drops by my doctors that scare me and make me feel worse because of you I feel I can help my self* I need you Your amazing*
Thank you Dr Berry. I'm going to try this. My dry eye condition I really affecting my life (very uncomfortsble) - and my appearance (my eyes always look bloodshot).
Hey Doc. It’s like you’re reading my mind about the issues I’m having 🤯
Great video! Definitely shared
video right on time..thanks.
Thank you so much for this informative video, which gives more insight into this condition.
This advice worked for me. My eyes were very painful, excruciating to blink sometimes. Since going strict Keto, no more problems with dry eyes for the last 7 months.
Keto ???
Wow! Thanks so much for the information.
Love to you, Dr. Ken Berry and thank you.
Thank you Dr for a great information!!!
Thank you so much , going through this right now, saved me
I wish he practiced in central Florida. This is a great doctor
I never really thought of it as dry eye because it was always accompanied with other allergy symptoms. I just lumped them all together as allergies, especially since the optometrist once told me I had allergic conjunctivitis.
Since I started keto, and more particularly since I stopped eating yogurt, my "seasonal" allergies have disappeared. And until just now I didn't even realize that the dry irritated eyes were also no longer a problem.
I probably need to nix the dairy to see if it is problematic. Cheese is a go to at lunch, so it's going to be hard!
Awesome video as always
Very beneficial video thank you Dr. Berry you are amazing!
great information! Thank you Doctor
Thank you for this. I wish I knew this before spending lots of money with allergists. They don't even talk about diet.
Right as most Drs do not with any disease for that matter.
They want those dollars from those pills
Thank you Dr. Berry.
Thanks so much Dr Berry.I ve been suffering from DE for 21 years...Hell on earth.Bravo et merci.,شكرا
Thank you so much Dr so great full to you for great information ❤🙏
Very informative as I suffer from dry eyes. Thank you for your advice.
I love your videos..thank you
You're the greatest doctor. Inspiring
I worked with a menopausal lady who had dry eyes. I had read an article that mentiioned flax seed oil being beneficial to use in diet. She bought some and told me many months later that not only had it worked but that she was now wearing contact lenses for the first time ever!
I’m post menopausal and I’m going to order flax seed capsules. I used to take them years ago. Thank you. I can’t even open my eyes some mornings.
Thank you, Dr. Berry. My husband has “dry eye” and suffers with redness, swelling, continuous tearing in his right eye only. I’ve heard that tear duct plugs would help. I never knew this about those types of foods you’d mentioned. I’ll definitely be updating our Ketogenic Lifestyle to accommodate the needs of his mobian glands for the excretion of mebum. What an excellent explanation. Serendipitously, we reside in the Pacific Northwest. I am so glad you listed those foods to avoid (as well as the advice on the dietary supplements...I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY). Thank you!
Kathleen Dexter --- I beg you, get your husband some iodine. Read what I wrote in this comment section about it. You put drops in your beverage, not the eye.
My husband had that, and was later diagnosed with Acute Angle Glaucoma. Need to monitor eye pressures.
I had tear duct plugs put in many years back. They never helped, only had them in about 6 months because the ducts became infected and they had to push them out...would never recommend anyone getting them.
My eye doc put put plugs in my eyes. One eye never produced the first tear. The other one constantly watered and would run down my face. I had to carry a tissue all the time. It was like I was looking thru water. Two weeks later I had them removed. The plugs were an expensive mistake.
@@marilynguinnane4663 I've been taking iodine for other benefits, but I do remember tear production (saliva and sweat also) as benefits of supplementing or inability of those things as symptoms of iodine deficiency.
Great topic, never knew food could help.
100% !
@@KenDBerryMD Do you know about pinguecula? What do you know about eyebright?
Carnivore 90 days extremely dry eyes meobian gland dysfunction? Before Carnivore 4vyrs keto..I can't afford $1000 eye drops..believing Carnivore will help????
valuable information thanks!
Keto and high fat meats have cured my inflammatory dry eye syndrome. I suffered for a long time - horrible debilitating symptoms. Thank you Dr. Berry for educating about the value of eating high fat meats and low carb healthy whole food and eliminating bad oils and crappy carbs to eliminate dry eyes - and so many other health issues.
Awesome Cathy! Was it meibomial gland dysfunction and did you also eat sea food?
What cooking oil did you start using?
I didn’t have dry eye problems until I developed glaucoma over 30 years ago. Some surgeries were less than effective, I think some of them were mistakes and in my right eye I had nine different surgeries and six in my left eye. Cataract surgery began problems with my left eye which in the past was not a problem with glaucoma like the right eye was. So I developed gout and I’m not supposed to eat any kind of organ meat like liver. I still do eat some of it I know there’s so many things on the gout list of no no’s that you must eat something to live. What did man do 500 years ago? I suppose just die of something early. I guess I didn’t mention, I’m blind in my right eye about 95%, I can see light but nothing beyond that. I also didn’t mention that my surgeon recommended that I get eyelid surgery for droopy eyelids, that contributed to dry eyes as well so I have used drops in the past, I’ll see what I can do to make it better. Everything that they say is bad now in a year or two they’ll say it is good, like butter.
Thank u Dr. Berry . I suffer Dry EYES . Now I'm going to buy these foods.
Thank You. No one is talking about this.
👏👏👏 Thank you Doc. A breath of fresh air.
Thank you for this information Dr. Berry! My eye doctor suggested a omega 3 supplement and wrote me a prescription for a very expensive eye drop. No thanks.
Thank you for your insightful and valuable information about dry eye. I suffer from severe GVHS after undergoing a transplant. I tried using a vegan diet when I had aplastic anemia and it did not work. Now that I have ocular eye disease from cancer I will try to eat more Omega rich foods and foods rich in vitamin a. You have all these so called healers liked Gerson who spoke about juicing before she died but she did not even have ay sort of degree. It is unreal that people get the nerve to write books and open healing centers that lack any form of education.
Just had plugs put in my eyes for my severe dry eyes. They be improved but not completely. Im so excited to find a food remedy!
Back in 1986 I had a laser surgery closure of part of the tear duct on eacheye. It didn;t work and I have had this issue for decades. I have been on Keto for 5 weeks graduating into it and like all the other benefits I just realized the last few days that my dry eyes are almost completely gone. It is disappearing like every other form of inflamation I had.
Add good nutrients and minus bad food from your life and you be in great shape. Very simple advice. Thank doc.
Simple but not easy.
I've had dry eyes for years, had refractive lens exchange two years ago which should have made it worse but since eating keto for one year now it has almost gone!
Good basic nutrition is good for your whole body. Thanks for this dry eye diet. 👍
Great advice 🙏
I really need to pay more attention to Dr. Berry, he keeps hitting the mark dead on with my symptoms.
AHAH! Many thanks Dr. Berry. Have suffered with dry eye my whole life getting worse as I aged inherited from Dad like other auto immune things. Now I know why my frequently eaten Kippers in a can haven't helped. They are packed in canola oil otherwise no unhealthy oils for me. All Wild Salmon from now on. I only ate farm raised salmon once. Instead of seasoning my iron skillet as always that junk seemed to strip my pan of seasoning.
Fantastic data. Never heard this before
Thank you!
I have over producing tears from Dry Eye Condition where Dry Eye condition is over producing my tear production so my condition is called Over producing tears from Dry Eye so could you please make a video on this as I sure would love it as I love all your videos and your videos got me started on Keto by explaining what Keto was and let me know I with my low income I could afford to eat a Keto diet and as of this date I have lost 65 pounds on Keto in a year. I started at the weight on January 28, 2022 at 223 pounds and as of January 9, 2023 I weigh 158 pounds. I love eating Keto as I have COPD and never smoked got it from second hand smoke from living with smoking parents and now I can breath better and I had Spinal Meningitis in 1965 at 5 weeks old as a baby and my loss of balance issues are still there but are much better and I can walk an hour before I have to sit down and can do my exercises I learned at Physical Therapy without pain and I now have no pain in my head and can grow my hair out from bald now and I can stand up at the stove and cook my lunch without pain and I owe it all to your video telling me what the Keto diet is and oh I have had a laser surgery in 9/1993 to remove my gallbladder and as long as I do not eat foods that are a mouth full of grease I can do Keto and I take generic questran in the morning as soon as I get up to not have diarrhea from my loss of gallbladder. So thank You for making these Keto and Carnivore videos.
🙏🙇♂🙏. I got my healthy eyes but taking note to this Doc. Ken.🙏
Interesting ever since I went keto my eyes have not been as dry as they used to be! I never made the connection until now thank you
TDRB (Thanks Dr Berry) 🌈🌞
