    I used to suffer from Blepharitis. When I stopped eating dairy, gluten, and eggs it went away. I now eat what is called Whole Food Plant Based. Before I started eating like this 100%, if I cheated, I had crusty eyelids the next day. Now I never have the problem. I mentioned it to my doctor, as I had been told there was no cure. They did not know any connection with food. It took a little time to relearn how to eat, but is it totally worth it. Thank you for doing this video.

      most floaters are embedded debris from say metal grinding, weed whipping, wood sanding, paint removal abrasives, automotive or nonwater based paint. most of mine are sand type rocks or metal.
      other floater are damaged tissue from the above for mentioned that scarred where they contacted the tissue.
      nothing gets rid of those. my dad had a piece of slag weld that got into his eye while grinding right from under his eye protection as it bounced off his chest, and the eye doctor used real powerful magnets and it only worked on the bigger pieces.

    I've been watching your channel the past few days regarding dry eye. I had LASIK in the summer of 2021 after wearing glasses for the first 30 or so years of my life. The first 6 months I had no real problems but suddenly I had some chronic dry eye pop up. Making me feel tired all the time and seemed like no matter how much I slept, I was constantly tired which really halted my day to day life. I've gone through a good half dozen of various eye drops and didn't seem to work as well as plug treatment at my optomitrist and warm compresses. I went ahead and ordered myself a humidifier (which I set up last night), some eye ointments, and some plant based Omega 3 supplements today in hopes they'll help. I just wanted to say thank you for all your great advice ❤

    My routine for dry eyes that has worked so far.
    Go in the shower with warm water and let the water hit my eyes for a good 30 seconds. Then use the eye scrubs for 30 seconds on each eye but make sure I get in there and try to clean the lids. Rinse another 30 seconds.
    Get out of the shower and add one eye drop on each eye (preservative free).
    Then after I get out of work I wash my face and then use my warm compress for my eyes for 20 minutes. Right after the compress is done, I massage the lids by trying to "squeeze" the tears up to the lids. I saw a video online of a sample of how to do it.
    I also avoid dairy foods and fast foods. I should be avoiding alcohol but trying to cut back because I notice these 3 things would make my eyes dry

    I loved pretty much everything you said in the first half. I have eaten Whole Food Plant Based for 12 years now. No meat, dairy, fish or animal products of any kind. I permanently lost 120 pounds, my high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Diabetes are all gone. I get plenty of Omega 3's from Flax and Chia Seeds so no fish needed. An issue with eating fish is that not only is it meat, but given that our oceans are full of poisons that humans dump into the rivers wind up in the ocean, and the little fishes ingest a lot of these chemicals, like mercury in Tuna, not limited to Mercury or Tuna however. Consider the issue of Bio Accumulation where the whole food chain of fish eating the smaller fish and all those poison wind up in those Tuna and Salmon. Do your due diligence. I suggest you go on with Chef AJ who would be very receptive to your expertise. Totally a good idea. I note my eye prescription improved in the last 12 years. No longer have to wear glasses to drive!

    My glands on the lower lids are pretty messed up due to wearing contacts for years. My doctor has never talked about diet - just heat, massage, drops and medical intervention. I noticed that when I stopped taking fish oil, my dry eye symptoms got worse. When I mentioned this to the eye clinic assistant, she said that they are big fans of fish oil. No other info along those lines, though.

    Drinking water during meals are not conducive to the digestion process.
    20 minutes before or after is a better suggestion.
    If you do drink during meals it should be warm,like green tea

    I had a brain tumor removed about 6 years ago. No radiation or chemo, just surgery.
    A few years prior to that, my opthalmologist said she could see a fuzzy area near the center of both retinae. Fast forward 5 years and now my right eye (the brain tumor was on my right side, ate up my vestibularcochlear nerve) and the vision in my right eye is very blurry, but only sometimes. Could it be related to the brain tumor, or am I having issues because of my fuzzy retina? I just had a fasting lab, glucose was at 124 😬 Following the advice at Laird Wellness and other places, I am being more diligent with my diet. You CAN reverse diabetes!! You CAN get your islets of Langerhans to return!! You CAN get your pancreas's beta cells to re-express after they've "given up" and turned into alpha cells 🤯 I'm no expert but I've read enough to know that I think I'm headed in the right direction 🙏 Thank you for the info, gonna sub to your channel

    I have had dry eyes for decades and was recently diagnosed with VPD. The price of eye drops is prohibitive when you've used them forever, so I rinse my eyes several times a day with saline. Do I need to worry about the saline, or is that okay?

    And then, what about DE in children, in adults, in seniors?

      Same here. Vegan Aqua Omega or NutraVege brand. My eye Dr recently told me I should double my dosage because of my severe dry eyes (due to Sjögren’s Syndrome) seems to be be helping. It’s definitely a user error issue if it’s not helping because sometimes I forget to take it twice a day lol.

    Had dry eye issues for 4-5 years. I've tried half a dozen different drops, no help. Some actually irritated them more. I also am extremely sensitive to sunlight or bright lights. Been to several eye doctors with limited help. Unfortunately the diet tips don't help me a lot. Hate fish, nuts gives me fever blisters and not big on fruits or veggies. I'm screwed

    I did a Spartan race in 2013 and one of the events involved going under a fence from one side to the other in muddy water. When I came up there was muddy water in my eyes and I had to quickly yank my contacts out. Luckily there was a water station right after that event. I rinsed my contacts off with fresh drinking water then stuck them in my mouth before placing in my eyes. I really had no other choice because my vision is -3.75 and -3.25 and was literally out in the woods. Luckily I didn't have any adverse reactions. My best friend called me a "beast" for doing that. I finished the race to say the least 😂

Because of irritation and itching I can't even study properly. Once I consult with the homeopathy doctor and he told me that the cause of this irritation and itching is my high body temperature he prohibited my drinking aur eating any types of spices and strictly told me to not to eat something that increases my body heat. Please tell me what I can do to remove this problem. I am starting to face this problem at 18th year right now I m 21 years old. Please give me some suggestions for this.
