I was trying to find a video on how to put them in without them someone’s falling here out there… More relevant for the preservative free ones.
… Just an FYI, as a video idea.
I'd like to thank this kind Opthalmologist Dr Chua for sharing effective treatmts which many doctors aren't sharing openly. God bless this good doctor.🙏
Thank you very much Dr. MICHAEL CHUA. VERY well explained, very organized. More power and more patients for you.
Hi Dr. Thank you for your advice. My eyes are very dry but have improved over time. I use Omega 3, Systane Ultra drops PF, Celluvisc drops if they are very dry due to weather conditions. Green tea steam eye bath, helps the inflammation. I use a small humidifier at night beside my bed. I hope everyone gets some relief.
If I use these thinks u sayed maybe can I be good
Thank u mam
Would you please do a presentation on blepharitis due to rosacea ? Thank you for your complete and accessible teaching style.
Wow! What an excellent, thorough presentation! Thank you VERY much!
This is my first time seeing your video.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us; it is very helpful. Thank you once more.
I especially liked when you noted that people who have more omega 3 fish oil in their diet have a reduction in dry eye. This is helpful and such an easy and natural change to make. Thank you and I look forward to more of your videos.
I used sea buckthorn oil gel caps and it really helped. I think if I continue on them I'll see more improvement. Before taking them, there were mornings when it felt like my eyes were glued shut. One eye seems drier than the other too.....not sure why.
Add black cumin seed oil and you will be happy. I take omega 3s, cod liver oil, and black cumin seed oil🇨🇦
Hi
Some eye drops have been found to be harmful and have been recalled.@@VISHNUKJ210
Try bHRT
Thank you Doctor Michael Chua for this very informative video - It answers all the questions I have about dry eyes
Thank you, Dr. Chua. Good summary of treatment.
Thank you Dr Chua, I have suffered from dry eye for a long time now. I thought I would just have to suffer through it but after listening to your video I see that there is help available. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all of us and I’m so glad that our paths crossed if only virtually🌺
Try bHRT
I had punctal plugs and while they helped, they always started to reject after around 6 months. I've been on Xiidra for a few years and it's been life changing. I also use warm compresses if I start to have burning.
Thank you so much for the info in this video. I have been struggling with dry eyes ever since I moved to Utah from Germany. The air is usually very dry here and my eyes are burning all the time. I used to take a supplement by theratears which contains some fish oil and other beneficial nutrients. After about 3 weeks I noticed that my eyes were more lubricated. That and some moisturizing drops used to help. I can't quite afford everything so I haven't used these capsules in a few years, but I might try them again. I'm going to keep following you since you definitely seem to care about other people and give valid and informative information. Thank you so much!
I see a difference already and it's only day 2! I've used visine for red eye daily for over a decade! And they were just getting worse recently. I started using two of your products recommended just yesterday and my eyes are less red! Thank you so much!
Great sprit, great smile. I was diagnosed with RA and since taking drugs I haven't cried with tears. Thank you for this video!
RA drugs or any eye drops?
Do your tears fall down when you cry?
This is so comprehensive. Tysm
Thank you so much Dr Michael Chua, really got enough information. Started having dry eye symptoms, with this info I will be able to myself, tho I have an appointment soon with the eye doc!
So informative ❤️
Wow doc!!!! My current eye doctor recommended these. You just confirmed. Thanks😊
Excellent presentation/ information.!!
thank you Dr Chua
Thank you for this. I have an auto immune disease and have dry eyes. Restasis doesn’t work anymore. Years ago my ophthalmologist had me try Muro 128. It worked then but I didn’t like the hazy vision. I decided to try it again and I am so grateful I did. Between that and lubritated eye drops I’m coping well.
Thank you Doc! I have been flipping out until seeing my Optho, but these are sensible and actionable measures 👏✌️
Thanks Dr. Chia. Very educational.
Thanks Doc! I just became a fan! Your recommend helped me with waking up with dry eyes. Wish you practice in Florida.
Another eye doctor telling the truth about eye drops for clearing redness.Thank you for speaking the truth!
thank u for your comment.
The doctor won't say nothing cuz they want your money insurance
What eyes drop musr I use I have glaucoma
Great video thank you this was so helpful!
Wow, one of the most helpful videos I've seen in a long time. I do use dry eye drops about 3x a day. My husband got a scratched cornea, and the doctor said that can be caused by untreated dry eye, so it's good to use drops not just for comfort but to take care of the eye. Thank you for your nice smile and valuable information.
@@maninamerica2046 Nope. If you have dry eyes, your eyelids can stick to the cornea at night and when you open your eye in the morning, the top layer of the cornea goes off. I have tried that 5 times in the past year. It hurts a lot
@@maninamerica2046 NOPE
Thank you for sharing Doctor.
God bless you
Thank you, I did not know there was eye dr for dry eyes
Maqui berry cleared up my dry eye, which was severe. 1/2 tsp of the powder each morning, dissolved in a half glass of water. I don't know how or why it works, but it does. Worth a try if you have this condition; it costs me about $10 for a 3-4 month supply.
Can you please give me the instruction how to prepare, what to do. Thanks in advance!
I feel great after the doctor put tear duct plugs in. Helped a lot
Thank you I needed this information! Very helpful !💝💯
Thanks for the information
Thanks so much for all you information
Thank you; this video is very helpful and informative.
Dry eyes are not always a "stand alone" problem. Sometimes dry eyes are a symptom of autoimmune issues (which, btw content creator, thank you for mentioning this). When my rheumatologist put me on hydroxychloroquine, the symptoms were slightly reduced. What really gave me great benefit was having tear duct plug placed and I'm now looking into having my tear ducts cauterized so that they are no longer functional. Yes, I'd rather have what little tears I do produce make me look like I'm crying a bit.
Thank you Dr.Chua your so generous to give an idea to the Patients like me older than you know and a health condition of eye even younger sufferingr from that situation you helps a lot you are a human gifted for us need an advice Thanks a lot for your kind hearted knowingly a main problem because of the exposure of so many things around us God bless you more Doc Chua stay safe and healthy🇵🇭

Thank you so much for this video. I have Sjogren's and have tried many things. I will give these a try.
Very good recomdation fr dry eyes Thanking for the advise 👍
Thank you. Great suggestions!
Dr . Chua your smile is really good ...thank you for the woderful video even my doctors dont me these things to takecare for my eyes
Thanks, great info. Especially appreciate good recommendation for PRESERVATIVE FREE emedies.
You are so correct about those recommended meds for dry eye! I cannot afford them. I have Sjogren's and working at a computer all my life, I have serious dry eye. When I experienced Bells Palsy the eye doctor prescribed an antibiotic gel, which I periodically put in my eyes at night and makes a great difference in my dry eyes. When I do use tears, (CLEAR EYES) my eyes itch so badly for quite some time and I think is part of ALLERGIES. After listening to the entire video I realize I NEED TO TOSS CLEAR EYES in the trash!! THANK YOU for this video!
Excellent info. Thank you.
Helpful information, thank you for sharing !
Thanks doc for the information😊
Honesty is the best policy. Keep believing it🤞🏿👍🏿👼🙏🏿💖

A very good video. Thanks Doctor Chua!
Thank you this was very helpful. Especially for the warm compress for the eye and the eyedrops in the first part of the video. This will help. I appreciate you. Have a blessed day.
Warm compresses help. I ordered a heated eye mask, you can spritz water on it to make it more like warm compress. It has really helped me and hope it will help someone else. God Bless I ordered mine from Amazon

Thank Doctor! You don’t know how long I’ve been suffering these horrid symptoms and my doctor didn’t get it. Suffering this grainy, sand paper and inflamed sensation is extremely painful. Living in pain and having red eyes on a daily basis truly feels like hell.

I SUBSCRIBED Immediately! I wanna know what you use on your Face? I have never seen such skin. I had a Eye Exam last week and they discovered my lower tear ducts are dry. She asked me if I have seasonal allergies. I said yes, I do. I said I carry Drops. But now I know what are better drops. I heard about the Red Eye Relief Drops back in the 90’s how they were not good for the eyes because of restriction. Thank You for your Video.
I was told by optometrists for years that I had dry eye syndrome. I discovered that my eyes were becoming red and inflamed due to histamine and salicylate intolerance. When I corrected my diet the symptoms went away. Now I only get symptoms when I eat foods that I shouldn't.
What foods should be avoided?
Thank You. 😊
*Thank you very much for such an informative video!*
