Hi Dr Allen, Have you heard of eye exams with dilation causing floaters or increasing the number of them? I had my first comprehensive eye exam 4 days ago and have been noticing more floaters. Reading this forum gave me a lot of anxiety: www.medhelp.org/posts/Eye-Care/Floaters-after-eye-dilation/show/1174325 . Thank you. Jon
Please make a video on Sjogren's disease. Thank you!
Thank you!
Drink a LOT of water before bed and make sure you go to the bathroom before retiring (or you'll wake up with excessive pressure in the hatch down below). This is especially important/effective if you have had any alcohol less then 4 or 5 hours before bed. I have severe dry eye problems from other causes but I find that a proper pre-slumber drain, a large couple of glasses of the clear stuff and eye drops on the bedside table can make a very troublesome problem much more endurable.
I change the setting in my car so I get heat on my feet and the window but not on my face I close the vents as well
I *cannot* stand having hot dry air blowing directky in my face!
Well done Doc very informative Thank you Dr. Allen
Thanks, Doc. Allen. The tips you shared are great. Particularly, I like the idea of moisture-reserved glasses. An excellent product.
Thanks for mentioning distilled water. Never thought about that. 😳
Oh yeah! That was pretty nasty. I saved the furnace filter for just this video
Great info Doc, as usual. Daily warm compresses/eye masks are also helpful 😳
Thank you for smart tips
Sir,
Does Dry eyes also cause small flashes in different area of eyes
I have Dry eyes and flashes problems,
I had check my Ratina and no problems are in there
so does dry eyes cause sometimes flases?
Hi there, I have a question about your Ziena Eyewear. I have recently tried the Kai model and like the look. It fits well at the top and the sides, however there is about a 1/4 inch gap at the lower part of the eyecup. I'm wondering whether a gap will still allow the eyecup to maintain its moisture retaining abilities? I know that it's not as effective as a full seal but is a gap still somewhat effective at slowing down tear evaporation?
I love your videos...always informative. Also enjoyed your video collaboration with Dr. Travis Zigler.
Dr Allen, do you think their will be better eye drops and/or procedures in near future to combat dry eye?
Great segment as I also have dry eye syndrome and my ophthalmologist has recommended also same things.
I have had dry eyes for years, and use Systane ultra drops all day and night. I have been wearing ski goggles (in Florida!) with polarizing lenses and it makes life outside so much more tolerable despite the double takes from strangers and the messed-up hair. I am very glad to hear about the Zeina moisture goggles with prescriptions, although they are very expensive and the nearest outlet is 50 miles away. Perhaps these problems will soon rectify.
Hi there, I follow a pretty good cleaning routine, and my contacts last me about 10-11 hours before they feel uncomfortable/dry. Is this normal? I use the same brand of contacts, solution, and moisturizing drops; Opti-Free.
Humidifier with the new Silver Clean technology -- no more orangy slime buildup! The silver inbedded in the tank material actually keeps it clean! I bought one for my mom and one for my daughter from Costco when they were having a sale. It was also a Top Fill, which was convenient.
Thanks this helped me amlot
My favorite tip was the recommendation about moisture goggles! Thanks for another great video :)
Such a good video your so informative and have a lovley voice
Glad you think so! Thank you
Thank you for your tips. Do you ship them to Norway?
I am not sure if they ship that far, I imagine so. I would check out their website or ask them in an email.
Hello again and thank you for your very informative as always post. My problem is that with my real eye as I call it I have no problem however with my prosthesis it gets really dry.
what ziena model did you have on? those look really stylish.
how great was this timing..Tonight my eyes were dry and i was straining so much .I now realize it was the air conditioner ,i couldnt work out as it isnt blowing onto my face but is taking the humidity out of the air..Thanks for the video Perfect
Happy to hear you liked it! I have the same problem but more in the car.
Doctor i had done corneal transplant one year back. currently i have sutures inside my eyes dor that eye is it possible to make glass prescription??
Thanks for sharing with us
You bet!
2 helped me alot becouse i have a fan that is pointed uo so ijust tilted it thanks
I would like to know where you get those silicone shields that goes on your glasses.
Thanks for all the information
For sure!!! Thanks for watching!
hi doc.. is there something i can do with my afterimage ?? i have floaters an bfep.. but what bother me most is the afterimage
i can not go out and by the eye compressor any alternative and how can i treat my self at home plz help
Dr, can you please help me ? I have floaters tht got stuck to my pupils especially my right eye, making it very very hard to see and read, in fact I can barely see, my eye dr says he doesn't know what happen and he can not operate otherwise he could blind me. Do you know of any drops that could probably help me? Thank really appreciate it.
Fantastic
I am so glad i don’t have dry eyes even after lasik rye surgery
Please, do a video for driving at night, please. I noticed recently that it has become impossible for me to drive in unfamiliar territory at night per the oncoming headlights! What are the best ones at a good price?
Please do a video on broken blood vessel. Why does it happen. How to best treat it. How long does it take to resolve?
Good day Doc! I am a fan from the Philippines. I just wanted to ask if you've heard about ionspec glasses that is becoming a trend in asia. Is it really effective? Or is it just a scam? Thanks for your help. Hope you could create a video about this. 😊😁
Regarding humidifiers, I just received my humidifier to help combat dry eye a few days ago, and after reading the manual ( cleaning it out everyday? really?!) I found that they recommend this frequent cleaning so that something called Pink Mold doesn’t grow. After googling this which is actually a bacteria I found that it can cause eye issues itself! People who have my same humidifier say that it is impossible to clean the crevices of this pink mold. What is your take on this and can you recommend a particular humidifier that is best to avoid this pink mold and/or best for cleaning?
If i have both dry eyes and inflammation, how would I know if I should use heat or cool compress. Eyes are sensitive to touch because of inflammation and lack of oil in eyelids.
Good info! My wife has dry eye from Sjögren’s syndrome so thanks for that!
Sjogrens can be pretty tough. I hope she is doing well.
Great video! Might I also suggest custom moisture chamber glasses for extreme cases! Some opticians still craft these, often recommended for sjogren's disease :)
Hi, do you know anyone that makes custom moisture chamber glasses?
@@debbiefetherston1220 unfortunately, I dont know many that do, and it needs to be someone local to you in order to do the final fit and trim to get a perfect seal :(
how much benefit would there be moving to a more humid climate like Florida? Wonder if it would be humid enough even in the winter to tip the scales.
So true about the blowing air. When I walk by the heating vent in the house my eyes immed feels super uncomfortable.
I was diagnosed with EBMD (Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy) and Dry Eye Disease is a secondary condition. I just went through Corneal Epithelial Debridement in my right eye three weeks ago. My vision has gotten so much better in that eye already. My optometrist has never been able to get me close to 20/20 vision because if I blinked, it would completely change everything. I had an amazing doctor that performed the debridement. But one of the best suggestions she gave me was since I run a fan at night was to use gel eye drops and a 3D memory foam sleep mask before and after the procedure. It has really helped. Also, a preservative free eye drop like TheraTears or Refresh Optive Advanced. Refresh Optive is safe for use with contacts which is a bonus. My optometrist has been suggesting plugging my tear ducts as the next step for my dry eyes.
That is great to hear things have improved with the procedure. I have a patient struggling with the same thing right now too. Punctal plugs are often a great option.
I am going on three days of awful dry eyes :( my left eye leaks out the side and it’s so painful from wiping it .. I know for me the wind is what makes it happen , I’m hoping tm after a good sleep my eye will be better
my eye is getting very dry when i get on the bed before sleeping. Is it normal to have this condition?
'liked'. Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much! Happy to help!
my question is any power difference between glasses and contact lens?
The Bruder compress that you recommended has been helpful to me. It was a gift from my niece who also uses it. What do you think of the Optive drops with omega-3 flax? Help or hype?
I like them! I honestly just put some in about 10 minutes ago. I get a lot of good feedback about people liking them. I personally am not sure how effective the flax is on ocular surface inflammation but thats the idea.
How long does this usually last
Can you please make a video on Stargardt disease
Can wearing an eye patch for a certain amount of time help with dry eyes?
Can you make a video on Sjogren's disease?
I think one thing I didn't know about dry eye is that I read things wrong and say it out loud wrong, especially on the computer, and more specifically reading dates. For example, I might see a date of 2/4/20, and I might read it out loud as April 2nd (I live in the USA). My eye doctor was examining my eyes for glaucoma, and she said that's dry eye.
I used the preservative free gel drops. They work really well. I also have a humidifier in my office and home.
Thank you for the updates on dry eye! My dry eye seems to really only bother me in the evening. But it is so bad that I keep eye drops under my pillow because my eyelids actually stick to my eyeballs and will tear my eye. Very painful. So I need to put drops in my eyes to open them. I do use a humidifier but I think that will need to use the eye gel at night. Thanks again doctor!
My eyes don’t get blurry they just burn
Incredible info! I am about to start wearing ski goggles 24/7 because the winter air makes my eyes dry all day. 😂 One question though: are the moisture goggles recommended for driving? I feel like they would restrict peripheral vision. 🤔
Hey doctor, can u make a video for ARCUS SENSILS,plz
Yeah! I will ad that to the list! Overall Arcus sinilis is pretty common after the age of 40 as cholesterol tends to elevate and deposit throughout the body. Otherwise if present it is not a bad idea to get a physical for potential cholesterol issues.
Can you talk about retinal dystrophy please?
Taking a high quality fish oil supplement has helped my dry eyes.
Hey Lisa which fish oil do you use
Hello, Lisa. How many month does it helped you?
@@leylarzazade I also added collagen powder and it helps but I also use drops as well.
@@foyekealayande159 I just used one I got from Amazon and I think it did help a little but I eventually got on Xiidra which has helped immensely.
I think i have dry eyes because every week I'll have and episode where one of my eyes(most of the time the left eye) hurts, i get headaches, light sensitivity, it feels like theres something stuck under the eyelid...
I have gone to the doctor two times, he said the eyes were healthy, prescribed me Systane eye drops to use everyday, I use it but it doesn't help lol, sometimes only time makes the pain go away.
Funny because this problem started after I started wearing contacts, but its been two months since I have used contacts and I still have this problem.
Matheus Melo same smh
My eyes tear a lot, especially outside in the cold weather. I have tear duct plugs, but they don't seem to be helping. However, I just noticed that, if I wear my glasses all day (reading glasses), my eyes don't tear!! Does that make sense? Thanks!
3:49 which one are you using ?
4:14 can you use gel in the morning ???😢
Zienna dry eye glasses were only the solution to my severe dry eyes. I have two of them now. I really like them. I sit on the computer whole day wearing this glasses and feel nothing.
Please suggest which glass? Name and brand
Still you're suffering
My eyes are so dry that I feel as if my eyes were wrapped in a flimsy opaque layer. My eyelids are stiff, sticky... no amount of eye drops, gels, warm compasses can give me relief....
Sorry to hear that peggy. That must be really tough. Are you working with a specialist?
@@DoctorEyeHealth to various ophthalmologists but dry eye is under evaluated here in Italy. I did have a session of lipiflow, not really helped.
I have very dry eyes. I struggle to open them when i awake. I was prescribed oil based eye drops called "nova tears" and i have also just started taking omega 3 fish oil. A bit early to tell with the fish oil but seems to be improving using both methods.
@@peggyhui7389 how are you now ?
That makes sense i always wonder .why i always why my eyes are always red in Nevada.and when i go to Honduras or California(bay area) my eyes are perfect.
Dr. Pls pls reply 🙏🙏🙏
If a person is wearing anti glare blue light cut (filter /blocking) glasses with UV 400 protection.
Does he also need any other protection ? (like getting dark tinted glasses {like photochoromic lens} to get protected from sun ’s bright light and digital screen lights)
If there is anything left , then please inform me.
Is that person 100 % safe from sun ’s bright light and digital screens lights ?
i appreciate youuu(:
Hey doc, great video!! I also found if you use cold pressed and hexane free castor oil it also helps with keeping your eyes moist. I also have tear duct plugs in all 4 ducts. I to agree preservative way for eye drops they are less likely to also cause stinging and burning when you put them in.
Stephenie Alfieri use castor oil too!
@@beegs771 once your eyes gets used to it you can, however, Some don't experience the blurriness. It's great for keeping your eyes moist and healthy.
@@beegs771 you're very welcome!!
hi doctor!! im taking isotretinoin and i am very conscious with my eye health. were there any reports that related isotretinoin with any damaging eye problem except to just dry eyes?
How are your eyes now? I took that 5 years ago and my eyes are still dry.
im gonna be experiencing my first winter this year... this is one of my concerns...since i get dry eyes even on autumn season
New subscriber here! Ive always been fascinated by eyes so i look forward to learning from this channel 😊 oh and my favorite dry eye tip was the one about wearing sunglasses...here in NYC is does get quite windy (although nothing like Minnesota), so i will be sure to buy sunglasses similar to those soon..although i may look like i was in the matrix movie lol
haha Hey Makiya! Happy to have you here! I have yet to get to NYC but I hope to get there soon! Anything specific about the eyes you would like to know?
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks for responding to me! Sorry for the late answer. Hopefully you can check out NYC after april as the weather is so much better. In regards to eyes, recently ive noticed that when im reading i find myself needing to look away more often, the page is a bit blurry and i move the book closer to my face. Any advice?
Thank you for this but I don’t know why but last night I had a lot of stuff going on and it was 5:30am when I went to bed and I woke up at 9:00am with dry and itchy eyes. I think it might just be tiredness.
My Left eye red and pain even my vision turn blurred when wake up in the morning. My doctor even told me my eyes too dry. what should i do to improve my vision specially early in morning. Help please
Dr., I’m a student pilot and I’m looking for a prescription sunglasses, which color lenses (gray, brown, green, etc) are the optimum for that type of environment (Sunny sky or white/gray overcast days)?
Grey Is often ideal for open blue sky. oftentimes a lighter amber/brown color work well on overcast days but some people prefer pink/green/blue for those as well. (When Rayban first came out they were the first to have antireflective which made the lenses green). The important thing for a pilot is to avoid polarized lenses, as theycan interfere with the instruments.
Be nice if I had got glasses likr those a long time ago. For years, I've been having eye issues( which I think has been dry eyes)
Sir can dry eye cause floaters in eye?
Hi Doctor, Thanks for the information a couple of questions please: 1. Do the moisture chamber eyeglasses require special and frequent cleaning and 2. Do they sit comfortably around the eyes (close enough for those of us with prescription eyewear) and form a seal. Appreciate your feedback!
Hey thanks Karen. The Ziena ones I showed in the video are cleaned just like regular glasses, the silicone inserts remove and re-attach with magnets. They are just like regular glasses and sit normally on the face with the inserts gently resting around the eyes. What is nice is that they fit comfortably without causing the lenses to fog up and if they did, you can just loosen them and they clear back up. Plus you can get prescription lenses put into them.
Doctor Eye Health Hi doctor, I am wondering what your experience is with scleral lenses and dry eyes? Any success with these for patients? Thanks in advance.
@@gigimicevic865 - hi, not sure the Dr. can see your question. You may have to post in the general area, think this just came to me only. Good luck.
please make the Eye-Crossing video you said you will maybe post on FB
(to explain how you cross your eyes one by one)
Hey thanks for the reminder! (sorry life has been crazy for me lately) I will see what I can do tonight :-)
would be great but make it only if you can and want
How about Coconut oil, applied with a Q-Tip, before Bed ??
I suffer from mild to moderate dry eye, I also have very oily skin which I have noticed resides on my eyelids and causes my eyes to burn after a few hours. I have noticed that cleaning out my eyes with an cleaning eye solution such as Ocusoft Lid Scrub Foaming Eyelid Cleanser (17 dollars on amazon) or OCuSOFT Hypochlor Gel Formulation Hypochlorous Acid (22 dollars on amazon) It significantly reduced my need for eyedrops, even though I do this eyelid cleaning 2-3 times a day often. I also take PRN omega fish oil (a little pricy but worth it for me) recommended by my dry eye specialist Dr.
Hi do you have any new discount codes for Ziena? The one in desc isn’t working anymore.
Sadly, no. The company stopped responding to me. Kinda frustrated by it.
@@DoctorEyeHealth ok thank you for responding. 🙂
Sir my eye is very hurt during the reading textbook . Sir give me a solution immediately.
Sir,I am from India and I wanted to contact with you for asking some ques.
Hey doctor i have blephritis and with the corona situation i can not find any doctor ! Nor bruder face mask that u recommended i could find other stuff ! May u please recommend some treatment at home it is causing me alot of headache that starts from my eyes towards my occipital area
Try to wash your ocular zone everyday and massage your eyes.
Try to wash your ocular zone everyday and massage your eyes.
My humidity level is at 63 in my bedroom and I have dry eye should I put it to 70?
Hi dr Alan. You have explained it all so clearly. I have sjorgens and R.A. and have very severe dry eyes. I use preservative free liquid drops by day and gel by night. I have now found by using the gel by day in the winter while indoors and the heating is on that it lasts longer and feels more soothing than liquid drops. But I never considered that the wind could reduce the tears from my eyes. So I will be mindful of that when im outside. Thanks for educating me keep up the great work. Teresa
Hi there. I know this is an old post but I have optic nerve atrophy and produce no tears. At night I use eye gel & liquid drops during the day. In the UK it's cold 11 months of the year. I struggle with severe dry itchy, burning, watery eyes all throughout winter : more than during warmer days. I also have red eyes which is the norm for me. Xx
I need some help.
I got my vision checked from 3 different clinics in a course of a week and all 3 gave me different prescription. What Should I do?
How similar are the prescriptions ? And if they are different are they for reading only distance only or computer use? Was one an Ophthalmologist ? Why did you go to three places ?
The air is very dry in the winter, which makes it hard for your eyes to produce tears. An easy way to combat this is to use rewetting eye drops when you feel your eyes getting dry. You can purchase drops for an affordable price at your local convenience store or speak with your eye doctor about getting prescription drops if the dryness is very painful or persistent.
Tried to use an humidifier at night. When i wake up, the room is foggy, the sheets and furnitures are all wet, but makes no difference on my eyes at all.
As much as i would like to, clearly, humidifiers does'nt work for me.
I wanna see you do a collab with both Doctor Mike and Legal Eagle. Maybe toss in the Toe Bro too.
That would be an absolute dream! I just checked out the Toe Bro...awesome.
Great video as usual Dr Allen! I like the look of the moisture chamber glasses and the humidifier in the winter. I’ve been taking Omega-3 for nearly a month on your advice (for floaters and dry eyes) and it seems to be helping a bit now so I will keep taking it.
Thanks for sharing! It makes me so happy to hear that! You made my night!
Hey I hope you’re doing better. I just want to ask How long did you have that floater?
Thanks for the tips. I had Lasik done 2 years ago and every day is hell. Takes me about an hour until I can see after dousing my eyes with drops.
Hi, how are your eyes now?
How r u doing now?
How are your eyes so white..help me
Hi, thanks alot for your informative channel. I have a question which has made me worried for a while , I wear glasses and each of my eyes number is approximately 5 (myopia )and about 1( astigmatism). I always thought that it can be fixed by operation till someone told me that didn't you know it decreases the eyesight accuracy and causes other problems, you know I'm first year medical student and I have heard that the procedure will limit your residency choices(such as specific fields of surgery) as it causes the decrease in eyesight acuracy
I just wanted to know that are these sentences true or not
sorry for asking it under an irrelevant video
No, there are multiple surgical procedures for refractive surgery. LASIK and PRK are the most common. Usually results in excellent vision. But as you know, there are risks with every operation. Best to consult with your local eye care specialist regarding what is best for you and your eyes. Wish you the best through med school!
thanks alot doctor both for your answer and your great wish
0:45 Yes I reallly feel in winter is worse
Very informative video, I must say.
Thanks!
I like to watch your videos as every time I get some or other new knowledge about eyes health.
But I have to point out one thing here ... sir, you speak very fast. I have to struggle continuesly to get through it.
English isn't my mother tongue, and the accents are very challenging. Can I request you to speak a little slowly. Thank you ... sir!
Doctor, i’ve have dry eyes symtoms for quite a long time. Recently when i blink i even hear a strange sound coming from my eyes. Can you help me?
Same a little
Wow
If I'm getting prk would I be able to sleep with a humidifier post surgery.
Also could I take fish oil pre surgery
