We really need better treatments for dry eyes and insurance really needs to help out 😡
I don’t use my insurance for anything, and after the past I don’t trust doctors are people as far as I can throw them
AMEN
Amen! Insurance definitely needs to cover and not force us meet our Deductible! It's our Eyes for God's sake
Insurance is to busy helping illegal Immigrants.
Hi
Can you please clarify the affects of phenoxyethanol on meibomian glands?
There’s so much confusion about this. 34:53
Dr. Allen, thank you so much for spreading hope to this community. As someone who is only 23 years old and has suffered severely from dry eye and corneal neuropathy I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing hope for better days ahead. This disease can be very depressing and difficult. I’m excited to hear if some of these treatments being studied now become available soon !
Hi I am 25, and suffering from dry eye and severe discomfort while wearing lenses. Can you pls tell what all has helped you? I have tried multiple eye drops & warm compresses etc , though it is a little relieving but contact lens make things worse
I also suffer from corneal neuralgia, do you have burning or aching?
I second this. Thank you, Dr. Allen!
I feel you
@@aishwaryachauhan do you get any tears when you cry or cut onion?
MY TIP: Direct warm water from the shower on to your closed eyes. This apparently frees congealed oil from the tear ducts. Add some eyelid massage if needed.
Great idea!
This used to work for me. Apparently the dry eye is bad enough that it doesn’t any more. I am suspecting this is related to allergies.
I have a dog with chronic dry eye.... Has been on meds and lube and his eyes are terrible.... I agree with this warm compress. Some relief is better than nothing for now...
I do that when I have an allergy attack ands it helps. It stops the itching and soothe the eyes.
Excellent info. Ty! 🙏🏼🎯💯👏🏼
As a Sjogrens pt I thank you for even mentioning it. I take Restasis which burned like crazy, until my dr said to keep it in the fridge, no burning and after a week or so no burning at all so hope this helps someone.
Wow, they could have told you to put it in fridge before ❤
Yes, I will try that. Thank you
Restates did nothing for me. bHRT hormone therapy fixed my dry eyes.
I have been seeing an Opthalmologist for 25 years & just learned that a have AMD! I have learned more from you then I ever learned from my Dr! I have done my own research as have been told only eye drops help; well I have learned that I might have been able to Prevent AMD. I am so disappointed that Opthalmologist's are not more informative with their patients; my Opthalmologist retired a year ago + I am seeing a younger one, however, he has not been anymore helpful then the older one. thank you so much, you have educated me on what I can do & I feel I am doing better trying everything safe that I can with your guidance. I live in Canada. Recently a local Optometrist has advertised treatment for AMD called MacuMira. Have you heard of this treatment? If I lived in Minnesota, I would be calling you for an appointment. Keep up the amazing work on RUclips, you are making a difference!
Thank you so much for this!
Just one small comments:
- sleep absolutely impacts my dry eye and how intense that “foreign body feeling”, blurred vision is. I travel a lot for work and feel my eyes way worse as soon as I sleep in a new environment or even if I sleep 1 hour less than usual. As soon as I’m home and back to the normal routine, the dry eye becomes manageable again.
It is really nice to understand this is not just a coincidence I made up in my mind - it feels very validating. Thank you again!
Thank you! Yes, Sleep is so powerful, for many health reasons. I hope to do a video on some of the research presented this last month.

Dry eyes were waking me up until I started bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (bHRT).
And ahah is that?
Google it. Easier than me trying to explain it
Love Dr. Allen, which he was in my state, I would certainly be his patient. His videos are so helpful, I learned how to remove my contacts and maintenance from several of his videos. Blessings to him and his practice.
I’ve been suffering from dry eye for two years after lasik. Please do not get lasik it will ruin your life.
Restasis has made my condition very manageable. The reason know this is because I ran out of my prescription for two weeks and my eyes got bad again.
Heating eye pads nightly by OPTASE have helped in the past, but I do not do it as much as I should.
Tried punctual plugs once, did absolutely nothing for me.
So yeah, heat packs and restasis has been helpful for me so far. Don’t give up hope!
Thank you for the tip!
Restates and plugs did nothing for me. bHRT fixed my dry eyes immediately. It’s sad that doctors don’t now this.
@@carrerahorsewhat’s that? Bhrt
Dr Allen is like my superhero of the medical world. Drs who explain things, go above and beyond “the norm” and have peoples best interests at heart are few and rare.
bHRT fixed my dry eyes.
Many thanks Dr Allen for your very helpful videos. I'm watching them from Cheshire, UK. My dry eyes have improved dramatically after your suggestion of using the warm patch for between 10 and 20 minutes. For me I've found 16 minutes works well, using an electrical heat pad daily, that plugs into a USB socket and then massage my eye lids.🙏👍🙂Best regards Oliver
I find hot treatment works better than anything else at the moment .
It's amazing to hear about the progress we're making 🙌 thanks for the information 😀
Thank you for for dedicating your time to give us all the information you provide!
I never heard of this disease until I got it. It was hard to get diagnosed, got an RX drop. I am to wash my eye lids with baby shampoo and also use hot, wet cloths. I had thick blurry tears running down my face. It was oil glands overproducing to make up for tear glands that no longer produce. I understand it is common to older women. I’m 73.
do you get any tears when you cry or cut onion?
bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (bHTt) fixed my dry eyes.
Sleep!! If I get a poor nights sleep my eyes are terrible the next day. Thank you for putting this together. Great and promising information.
Your videos are very informative.
Dry eyes were waking me up until I started bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (bHRT).
Miebo convert here. I've been using it for a month and for the first time since April 2021 I've had zero staining when I got my dry eye check up. Dry eyes have been a problem off and on for years but in 2021 I developed an ulcer on my eye (work in healthcare and constant masking then). My journey from then to Miebo has included: lotemax, restasis, xiidar, cequa, tyrvana, punctal plugs, nightly ointment with protective goggles for sleep, autologous serum tears (4 rounds), amniotic serum drops, and two rounds of amniotic sac membranes placed on my corneas that finally healed them enough to wear scleral lenses. I'm hopeful that Miebo will continue to improve my eye health. First ray of hope in a ling time.
This is so exciting to hear! 😊 I was just prescribed Miebo & it was approved by my insurance on Friday. Looking forward to starting it this week. Are you using any other prescription or OTC eye drops/treatments during the day or at night in addition to Miebo? I’ve been using Restasis & wonder if I should use Miebo in addition to Restasis. Or do you use any other eye drop right before using Miebo?
I’m also going to ask my eye doctor about the scleral lenses in the future.
Happy for you & hope the Miebo continues to work for you.
Currently just using Miebo during the day with Optase hylo ointment at night (with dry eye goggles). I stopped Restasis when I started Miebo as directed by my doctor. Still doing fairly well. Awaiting my latest adjustment to the scleral lenses since the new ones didn't fit quite right.
@@victorianovoselski4411 I'm a Miebo convert as well. After dealing with severe dry eyes for 35 years (due to Accutane), I'm finally hopeful. I liked Tyrvaya, but I started to get sinus headaches after being on it for 18 months. I've been on Miebo for four months. I've been off Tyrvaya for one month.
Europe has EvoTears (same as Miebo) for $18/bottle and it is over the counter. Miebo was $834 at my local Walmart. I got a free bottle of Miebo from my doctor and my insurance approved Miebo, but since I learned Europe has it much cheaper, I'm now buying EvoTears from Europe. I'm in Houston, Texas.
p.s. New Zealand has NovaTears (same as Miebo), but I was unable to order it online.
So you are saying miebo was the one thing that made a huge difference? How is dry dye now ?
@@Cooliewhistles Miebo is a game changer for evaporative dry eye disease. It is by prescription in the U.S. and very expensive ($832). EvoTears is the same as Miebo, and is available over the counter from Europe, for about $18. I use EvoTears. I had to stop using Tyrvaya as I started getting sinus headaches after having used it for 18 months.
I’ve been on restasis for a long time. I began taking Omega XL (fish oil) for my joints and have noticed how much less dry my eyes have become.
Great news!
I tried i got face pimples.
Dry eyes were waking me up until I started bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (bHRT).
Which Omega Oil?
As someone who has struggled with severe dry eyes these videos really help give me hope for all the different new treatments! Medicine is always advancing and you never know what could help! so on my worst days I try to keep remembering this! thanks for the great information!
do you get any tears when you cry or cut onion?
Medicine: bHRT fixed my dry eyes immediately. Plugs and Restasis did nothing for me.
Thank you for all your advice and help!
Thanks for all your wonderful videos ❤️
Hey doc, I've been struggling with MGD for the last 20 years (crazy it's been so long). Thanks for the effort you put into those videos, it's a good feeling that a major youtuber is interested in this topic!
Wow thank you. I am honestly kinda honored you consider me a "major youtuber"😀
Is there any info about MGD I could make a video on that would help you further?
@@DoctorEyeHealthyour 2links are incorrect (the eye cream and the other product) they both lead to a completely different product.Could you possibly link the correct item?🙏
dr my meibomian gland losses more😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭guide me dr plzzz
I’m in Minnesota too and our winters are brutal on dry eyes. Not looking forward to another 5 months of my eyeballs sticking to my eyelids. Hope the new treatments work and are approved quickly. Thank you!
I would definitely recommend eye ointment if you are not already using it
I second the eye ointment suggestion. Muro 128 5% hypertonicity ointment (or a generic version) is what my eye doc recommends, and it is a miracle for me, as long as I actually use it EVERY night. Ask your eye doc about it if you think you might like to try it. It’s not an Rx, but it is very expensive, so if your doc doesn’t recommend it you should stick with the less expensive versions!
Most of those new treatments won't be out until 2026, like Lacripep and AZR-001 ointment. I'm tired of those burning eyes..
Have you tried humidifier?
Thanks for the tips, all. 💖🌸
There's a whole lot of hope in this video! 🙏
Glad you think so! I am excited for the future.
I've had really good results with OptiMel drops before bed. No more blepharitis or marginal infiltrates. Burns a bit for 5-10 seconds but feels great afterward. You get use to it.
Watching from Minnesota too. I've never struggled with dry eyes myself but I do make sure I'm hydrated and always blink often never get too caught up in staring/focusing.
Really appreciate your shows..thans!
Hi from Florida, so glad I found you, your videos are giving me so much more information than I get at my eye specialist🙏
bHRT fixed my dry eyes immediately. Plugs and Restasis did nothing for me.
@@carrerahorse what is BHRT?
Absolutely incredible video. Most specialists wouldn't have the time available in an appointment to go into all this. I live in NZ & have a great Doctor but I imagine this drives a lot of US patients to your practice
Medicine: bHRT fixed my dry eyes immediately. Plugs and Restasis did nothing for me.
I really appreciate what you do…people like you give us some hopes.
You are fabulous! Thank you for these videos! Your presentation is wonderful & you're pleasant to listen to.
bHRT fixed my dry eyes immediately. Plugs and Restasis did nothing for me.
I suffered with severely dry eyes for about five years. Went to doctors specialist everything. I was post menopause so all I needed was female hormones my dry eyes have been 90% better since I started on hormones.
Which hormone were you lacking?
Dry eyes are viral based, so any physical, chemical, or emotional stressor lowers the immune system and introduces toxins to the body for the virus to absorb, concentrate, and excrete, causing inflammation.
Patent drugs and their fillers are semi-toxic synthetic chemicals NOT recognized by the liver (thus stored in the deep fats), so look for nature-based organic hormone sources, such as yams. 95% of soy is 'RoundUp-Ready' GMO, so avoid it and unfermented soy (tofu, etc).
Also use anti-viral herbs and teas, such as Lemon Balm and Nettle Leaf, mixed with your favorites.
Also remember Menopause symptoms are not based on female hormones. Men get hot flashes, too. They just call them Night Sweats & blame them on overwork and stress. They are from a dormant EBV (HHV-4) virus re-activating in the liver as the immune system weakens and fatigues. Hence some women getting them in their 30s and men getting them. Insulin Resistance (from inflammation in the liver), weight gain of 20-35 lbs, and pre-diabetes usually follows. Hence the weight issue in America. 50% of children and 99.9% of adults carry the toxin-excreting Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV).
It underlies 102+ chronic diseases and cancers per the 2018 Cincinnati Hospital EBV study of it's DNA and transcriptions (RNA), with no 2 people having the EXACT same symptoms, since their toxin exposure and diets differ.
Research doctors who sort sick people by symptoms instead of common underlying cause miss this completely.
Viruses cause epigentic changes inside cells, so all the current genetic research for the 'genetic cause' of disease (like breast cancer) mostly just results in tests that tell people they have a viral infection and toxins deposits in the fat in their body.
Universties that expose this lose millions of dollars of funding for doing genetic research. Many med school professors and grad students working on post-doctorates thus get fired and discredited if they go public. Many MD doctors seeing this happening to their friends & get fed up with not being able to cure their patients. They often quit their practice.
Hence the many good doctors who are now 100% online, and most are DCs, NDs, TCM, Aturvedic, and other 'Alternate' types since MDs get their license threatened the allopathic medicine 'Western' Medical Industry.
This may get fixed within the next 10 years, as thousands of medical doctor groups worldwide file lawsuits after the 2020-2022 fiasco and continuing censorship of their Papers, RUclips & FB postings, and outreach.
Japanese doctors won't even publish their cancer and diabetes cures in English language journals, since many of those who try to seem to suddenly die shortly thereafter. Is it just coincidence? They don't care to find out.
It will be interesting to see it all play out, and learn the truth.
Meanwhile, see a holistically -trained doctors and nutritionists that can test your hair and blood for nutritional deficiencies and switch your patent Rx & OTC meds to the original nature-based ones they were derived from.
In the old days, doctors only got paid AFTER they cured a person (or whole village) and it was affordable. Bad doctors (the 'quacks') were run off and good ones paid well so they would stay. It was a much better system.
Nowadays we keep the bad and run off the good healers. That is unsustainable.
@@lindakean7392I’m not the person who wrote the original comment, but generally the issue with menopause is the drop in estrogen. There are issues with HRT, however, including various cancers. So it’s definitely something to discuss with a licensed medical professional.
@@lindakean7392at post menopause a woman lacks all hormones. They are very minimal compared to what a woman has for 35 years prior to menopause.
How much hrt do you take?
Thanks Doc for your channel very informative. Watching your video replay from PH.
bHRT fixed my dry eyes immediately. Plugs and Restasis did nothing for me.
Great video, good suggestions. Lyme disease and dry eye. Alpha-gal syndrome, ehrlichia chafeensis from the Lone Star tick. I didn't get dry eyes until a few years after I took much antibiotics for an unrelated problem. That's when the Lyme went ballistic. I was dumb and happy with Lyme, but the antibiotics ruined me. The Lyme spirochetes built biofilms, and my immune system tuned on me instead of the Lyme. Also, with regards to the collarettes, in the 70s my baby sitter had these h her red eyes- they raised Pekinese dogs. Had them all thru the house. Mites. There ya go.
I Love this channel so much great information 👍🏽
This was very interesting and informative watching from NC, priceless video!
bHRT fixed my dry eyes immediately. Plugs and Restasis did nothing for me.
It is so frustrating that all the prescription things are so ridiculously expensive and now that I'm on Medicare nothing gets covered

And... thank you very much for sharing this valuable information!

New Dry Eyes Treatments Revealed! Oh wow.... It's so awesome! Thanks for sharing a video full of useful information!
I’ve had dry eyes for almost 20 years. I’ve been on Restasis (hate it - it burns!), and Xiidra (better than Restasis, but still burns), and both at the same time (really bad dry eyes). My doctor put in plugs in my lower tear ducts, as drips would drain almost as soon as you put them in. She then put me on Lacricert (a tiny tube placed in the lower lid that dissolves. I like that, but can’t wear overnight, as my eyes are too dry. They discovered that my mybomium glands are mostly gone 😞 on one eye and 1/2 gone on the other. I also have a demodex mite issue (I had 2 in-office treatments where the lid was scrubbed with a tool and a tea tree oil solution. The second treatment caused a scratched cornea). Plus fibromyalgia. Then my doctor left the practice. I lost one of my plugs. The new dry eye specialist requested I start using an overnight eye ointment. I discovered that most over the counter overnight eye ointments contain lanolin (I’m allergic). Ended up with 2 major eye infections before we figured out the cause. My new specialist seems so ambivalent about replacing my missing plug. He did give me a trial of a prescription dry eye treatment, I cannot remember the name, it was new 2ish years ago and starts with an “S”. It seemed to help, but as I’m unemployed, there was no way I’d be able to afford it.
I have found that taking 2,000 mgs of Omega 3s a day is helping. I also wash my eyes with Thera Tears Eye wash for dry eyes, and use Clearadex wipes. Lots of different eye gels (Dr looked at them and approved). I don’t have insurance so I can’t afford any of these new treatments coming out. I can’t even afford to see my eye doctor right now! We need affordable options so we don’t lose our sight, as I’m told that will be my future.
If it helps, I read somewhere recently that dry eye often causes blurred vision but rarely causes blindness.
Just so you know, many pharmaceutical companies have programs to help with the cost of your medication. We did that for my granddaughter since the medication was so high even with a copay. The program covered the ENTIRE cost of her ADHD medication! My daughter didn't have insurance, but they covered it even when she did, because the copay was high. Now it's generic and only $10 a month. Anyway, definitely check it out. You may be pleasantly surprised. Wishing you success!
I also can’t use lanolin products and most night ointments are too thick and goop up. My eye dr. recommended Muro 128 and it’s better than anything I’ve tried for night time. You can buy a generic version of it, (CVS). Still a little pricey but the best for me. Ask your eye dr. if you can use it nightly. Mine allows it. The best day time drops I’ve found so far are Systane PF Complete. I can’t use anything with a gel in it. The gel sits on my lower lid and causes the skin to become red and irritated. I also use Restasis, a heated mask, and preservative free tears 6-8 times throughout the day. Tried plugs but had to have them removed, again the tears just sit on the duct and cause irritation. Lipiflow did nothing for me and it was expensive. I hope you can find relief.
@@AlcoveShadow No, they won’t do lasik on me. My eyes aren’t healthy enough.
@@kamilekapel I carry the Macular degeneration gene, with a high probability of it occurring. I was on vitamins for it, but I had to stop when I became unemployed. The vitamins are very expensive!
Thank you sooo much I love yr video but this 1 was really amazing brilliant work 👏👏👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️☘️☘️☘️☘️🍀🇮🇪
I have had moderate success lately with lightly massaging my lids. I place a lite cloth across my eyes & gently massage counting to 100 twice a day. I compress with warm / hot water 1 / 2 /day . Also in my one room lodge I hang a wet towel in bathroom & on the heat register. I’m having much less irritation. I’m now using drops mostly @ bedtime.
Thanks Doc ...your the best!!
Thank you Dr. Allen. Your videos are always so thorough and informative. Absolutely checking out some of these products, especially the PM drink supplement.
The first couple times that I used melatonin I also had vivid dreams, but that goes away once you get used to taking it every night.
Omg - this was so helpful to me! Thank you. Next time I see my opthalmic surgeon (dec 20) I will have some knowledge about what's best for me. I have ramifications of an orbital decompression gone very wrong... Still looking forward to more surgeries, unfortunately...
I just started using Hycosan another UK version of MIEBO. it works well. I did take it to my eye Dr. for her to check out. She gave me the thumbs up. It was $25 with S/H.
Which Hycosan are you using? I am using the PLUS but not helping :(
bHRT fixed my dry eyes immediately. Plugs and Restasis did nothing for me.
Watching Oct 28, 2023. I have SLK so my eyes tend to be extremely dry. I have an eye mask with beads that I warm in microwave. I apply to my eyes for a few minutes. Afterwards, I massage the lower rim - roll my finger up over my tear ducts. Very helpful.
Thanks Dr Allen, good nite ❤
Your videos are very informative.
A lot of information. Thank you!
Thanks for being here!

Hello, I have been using a warming eye mask that has a Lavender pad in it that I love to smell. I use the mask every night and I also take some omega 3 fish oil. I have dry eye, but it's not that severe, yet. Those methods seem to work for now. I have sleep apnea, and I sleep under a ceiling fan at night, so it's a double whammy for me. I thought this video was interesting. Keep up the good work 😊
Great segment as always! Installed a home water softner and really helped with my irritated dry eyes.

Dr. Allen, thank you for everything you do. I have MGD/evaporative dry eye and IPL just stabilized my tear film back to 10+ seconds. Do I need to continue using artificial tears daily, or will they potentially destabilize things now? Thank you again!
Hi from Houston. I have had Dry eye for several years and have been on Restasis. It worked for while then stopped and as I told my Ophthalmologist Freddie Krueger was in my eyes and I needed him evicted ASAP!!!
I am now in Tryvaya nasal spray. It has been great, just have to watch out for pepper spray feeling ..lol
Hello, I'm from Houston as well, and I'm on tyrvaya. I just started using EvoTears, so I hope it works well with tyrvaya.
I use a smear of organic virgin coconut oil to remove eye makeup. I noticed my eyes seldom get dry even after golfing in the wind. Also use a contact rinse directly in my eyes.
Yes, with at least 8 hours of sleep, I find my dry eye symptoms are much relieved. I'm going to try the drinks you mentioned. Not only are my eyes dry, they are painful... and I find they are more dry at night; I wake up and have to put drops in sometimes 3-5 times a night. I'm almost 70 and it's not fun. Just got a diagnosis of possible angle closure glaucoma too. The 'golden years' they are not!
wow thank you!
I wish I lived near this doctor!! I have dry eyes and really haven’t found much helpful 😢. I’ve tried 2 prescription drops so far Xiidra has helped a little more but still very frustrating. I’ve done this and warm compresses and lid hygiene of every kind. Love this video!
Did you try IPL ? Omega 3s, GLA ? Manuka Honey Gel ? Exercise and anti-inflammatory diet ? You need to throw the sink at it

Hi, Dr. Allen. Thank you for all of the wonderful educational videos you produce regarding dry eye. Where would I be able to go to find dry eye specialists in Orange County California?
After watching this I had a family member bring the EvoTears for me from Germany, they are amazing! They are a bit odd in that they feel really thin when you drop them in, like barely feels that you put anything in your eye, and they are almost a bit oily. But wow they work. I had been using systane PF and another PF drop/gel that I forget the name, and I’d have to use them every hour or more during dry times. I have used the EvoTears for a day now and only used them 3 times, with no other drops in between! By end of a long day still feel incredibly good. Highly recommend, thanks for the tips!!
I'm on EvoTears as well. They are truly amazing. I ordered online. Once from Portugal & once from Germany. I live in Houston, Texas.

Hi doc!
Love watching your videos, I suffer from corneal neuralgia from lasik surgery also with mgd.
Do you think corneal neuralgia will ever receive its own treatment?
Hi there! Thank you for this information! I have dry eye and glaucoma so my eyes are constantly dry. I love Systane Ultra (in viles) that really helps with dry eye. I love Lumify to get the redness out of my eyes. It is quick and makes the whites of your eye really white!
do you get any tears when you cry or cut onion?
Thank you for the heads up on sleep. I usually get 4 or 5 hours sleepb Mon -Thurs. I am a high school teacher with a lot of grading. I have had dry eyes for at least 25 years. My last corneal transplant did not go well because I have an exposed lower lid. That eye is extremely dry and my other is dry but not as bad. I am always buying OTC drops and gel. It hurts so bad sometimes. I am now trying a soft contact for the eye with the transplant. It's been a challenge trying to put it in. When my doctor puts it in, the eye feels so good. I have chronic dryness
Thank you for all the information. You always provide great content. I live in Wayne, Pennsylvania which is 20 miles outside of Philadelphia. Can you recommend a DRY EYE SPECIALIST in this area (if you know?) Thank you again.
❤❤❤ Crotamiton cream an anti-scabetic medication when applied to the tightly closed eyes including the eyelashes and eyebrows twice daily for 1 month cleared up the severe itching from my dry eye syndrome....probably by killing off the Demodex mites? 😂
Cod liver oil, I drink a tablespoon once a day.
i am in Australia and Nova Tears are on the shelves of Chemist Warehouse in Queensland. I may give these a try rather than various Systane products. I've had dry eye for a long time but recently it has become worse, particularly with both eyes flowing with tears. I've tried antihistamines and they help but it wears off. We're in Spring change of season at present, lots of dry air and wind so feel this aggravates the condition.
My wife suffered from this. I started supplementing her with cod liver oil and omega 3 oil. My wife no longer suffers from dry eyes anymore after supplementing.
Thank you very much much for the information. How long it took to work and brands please.
bHRT fixed my dry eyes immediately. Plugs and Restasis did nothing for me.

Been watching your videos. Great information. I’m watching from S. Florida. Have had dry eyes/MGD for the past year and a half. I believe some from a reaction to some mold in our house we recently found. Allergy meds causing some dryness also. Dealing with that now. Have not found any outstanding product I have used that reduces the redness, itching or swelling. I believe the eye mask does help trying to use it more often. Will continue to watch your videos love the info in products to use.

Im from australia and have used nova tears. Was fine for the first week then caused severe burning and surprisingly even sinus pain.
I want to thank you I came across your channel a few years ago and you said what kind of vitamins to take for the eyes and I have been taking them and after a week of taking them my eyes started to clear up and it was the thera tears eye nutrition for dry eyes thanks again

I have been watching you for a while I really enjoy all your tips I live in a little town in Upstate New York my dry eye doctor does very little. I recently traveled out of state to try the lipiflow but I had no idea this was not covered by insurance
I have tried all drops that are available in Northern Europe, including EvoTears. What ended up helping was E-Eye through my health insurance (ironic that it isn’t available through our public healthcare). I don’t know if it’s been mentioned on the channel before, and the stats for the treatment aren’t that amazing, but I was one of the lucky ones I guess. It’s more or less IPL and given how well I responded to it I’ll keep doing it and probably also invest in a red light/NIR panel or mask (because it genuinely felt amazing, not just for the eyes).
Are you in Denmark? What insurance convered it? Thanks a lot
Dr. Allen thank you for your time and dedication to spreading hope and correct information! I have to ask, how does one find these places that are trying these newer treatments and are more open to trying different methods. Every doctor and specialist I have seen just spew out the same methods of restasis, xiidra, and eye lux. They don't seem open to trying other options as they are lesser known. It is frustrating because they just often default to "if these methods haven't worked for you, then just continue using otc eye drops for comfort. It doesn't seem like there is much else we can do for you"
Huge thank you. Dr can advice which drop is suitable to reduce tears😢 thank you
Thank you soooo much for such great education. Do you know a dry eye provider in or around Atlanta Ga?
Watching the replay. Hello from upstate NY. 👋
Im in europe and Im going to run get Evotears right now! Thank you for the info!
The past few years I've struggled with pyogenic granulomas, unaware of the cause. I have been wearing contacts for over 20 years, but have had to resort to glasses to deal with these issues.
A few months ago, I had a pyogenic granuloma surgically removed, as well as an upper eyelid chalazion drained. Blurred vision has been the main issue I've dealt with -- it comes and goes. I take plenty of algae based omega 3 supplements and eat hemp seeds/flax seeds daily for omegas, use a warm compress (rice in a new sock) nightly, and perform a q-tip eyelid massage I followed from your channel, as well as purchased an ocusoft lid scrub I use nightly as well. I've had clear vision on two separate random occasions since the procedure, however it keeps returning to a blur and my eyelid seems to be slightly red and puffy still.
My eye doctor told me it could take 3 months for my vision to go back to normal after the eyelid procedure.
Are there any tips or methods you recommend to help with blurred vision?!
Thank you Dr. Allen!
Dr. Eye Health, please open an office in Honolulu, you are awesome.
Hello, I live in the Orlando area. I’m having trouble with my eyes. I saw my optometrist in July and I explained my problem and he said the health of my eyes are very well, which kind of baffles me because my eyes get so dry to the point that I have to close my eye lids tightly, to get relief. I do have hashimotos and diabetes, so I’m not sure exactly what is causing my eyes to become so dry and uncomfortable. I have tried a couple dry eye drops with no help at all… Thank you for sharing so much information, I will try a couple options that talked about and I will come back and update my experience. Thanks again.
Just a suggestion. Maybe seeing an Opthalmalogist will help you more than going to an Optometrist.
Please provide a list of links to the products mentioned.
Dr. Allen
I purchased Hycosan from the UK. It’s another substitute for MIEBO. It works great and is about $25 with S/H
Do you happen to have a website to purchase this?
Read my comment, it can help good luck
I would love to try CBT-006 for my pingueculas. Can you keep us updated on treatments for this condition?
Thank you, im suffering from dry eyes since 18 years, i hope i find a solution out of these new medicaments

@@carrerahorse we get it :)
@@BigBadFinstad Ok great. Did you know that only 5% of women who need/could be on hormones are receiving hormone supplements? So if you know, what are you doing about it? Women who receive replacement hormones maintain better health while they age.
Punctual Plugs changed my life.
Also Fish oil helps.
76 yo used punctal plugs for 6 months great response. Used drops rarely
Last visit such improvement decided not to put in permanent plugs but to see how long the effects of having had the disposable plugs
Have been without plugs no blurred vision from only using drops if symptoms return I will probably put in permanent not disposable.
I understand not all people have such a good response to the disposable plugs as I did. So far so good
I have myobian glad dropout in both eyes, 85% in one eye and 70% in the other. Tested negative for sjogrens. Doc said lipid flow and ipl will not work. I've been taking ciders for a couple of years and am excited to say that I am starting mieob today because I heard about it on your channel. I asked my doc about it and he said it will be too expensive and I said let me be the judge of that. I was pleasantly surprised that I have a $0 copayment through the company's coupon. They even helped with the prior authorization. Thank you!!!!
I found Stye ointment put in lower lid and blink several times for really bad grit and burn. Then, Opcon-A for itchy
allergy (cats). Also, wet wash cloth laid over eyes while sleeping.
