@eyechannelbyeyesurgeon can you make a video on prescription eye drops for itchy eyes from allergies? I'm prescribed ketorolac but it has bak...thanks to your video...I'm working on finding a better alternative
My cornea specialist (Mass Eye & Ear) suggested I get tested for allergies. I went to allergist and was tested, it was determined I had 8 serious allergies. My specialist felt that my dry eye might have been caused by the allergies. I started immunotherapy, by using SLIT method. Within about a year, my dry eye dramatically improved. At this point, 7 years later, I do have flareups occasionally, but the daily nightmare of having dry eye has completely ended. Wow. So pleased with this. Let me know if you have any questions, as I will be glad to respond.
I love the Optase mask, works great. The dry eye intense drops not only didn’t help, they seemed to make it worse but the MGD version helps me a lot. Taking high quality fish oil has not helped at all. For a while one of my eyelids was twitching badly, I started using the Optase wash with tea tree oil & the twitching stopped within 2 days, thankfully. I use it once a day. However my eyes still feel very dry and are not improving. The warm compress & drops offer relief but the condition does not improve.
Great video! I started using preservative free drops. I use drops only at night when the dryness becomes noticeable. I put drops in many times in the night. Sometimes I cannot open my eyes until I get the drops into my eyes. It is very painful. I have a dry eye mask and virtually never use it. I stopped the flax seed oil supplements my doctor recommended due to cost. I hear you when you say consistency and not doing treatment only when you have symptoms! I have blepharitis in both eyes upper and lower lids - squamous..
Im currently on restasis month two but the stinging can be annoying when i use it! How long did it take the drops to work for you and do u use any other drops or ointment?! Thank you!
My eyelids stick to my eyes at night after as little as 1 and a half hours. Makes it difficult to sleep because eye movement in REM sleep rips at my cornea and the pain wakes me up. Id love to see an item covering this aspect of dry eye disease. Ive been to many optomitrists and so far nothing helps.
Trusted your presentations before getting cataract surgery last year. Liking and commenting to support your channel. Only had surgery in one eye so I'll still be keeping an eye on future presentations; pun intended. :)
I was diagnosed with Fuchs disease and prescribed Muro 128. Following cataract surgery I was prescribed Acrylarm for dry eye. I started taking omega 3 fish oil recently and now take the capsules instead. What is your opinion on my treatment please?
Hello Audrey from the UK, a lot of information about dry eye, I was diagnosed with dry eye about eighteen months ago, since then have had multi focal lense surgery, improving but struggling with dry eye, I am using the heat pad but obviously as you point out not on a regular basis, alsoeye drops but I was was told as and when, again false information, I will now use both on a regular basis to hopefully have better results, my daily drops are Hycosan Extra, could this be one of your good eye drops, I also have to use Lumigan to help with eye pressure? Thank you so much for your input helping people with eye issues, Derek
I think it is marketed under brand name Optase in the US. You can learn more about the eye drop in this video 👉 Optase Hylo Relief Dry Eye Drop How to Use Full Guide | Eye Surgeon Explains ua-cam.com/video/vZBlUmMLhZs/v-deo.html
Hello Dr. Audrey! watching here from the Philippines. My Ophthalmologist found my eye with astigmatism and dry eyes. I had this for over 5years now. He said, there is no available treatment in our area as of the moment, yet he referred me to a higher and bigger facility. And, I experienced a glare which is so bothersome especially when I read something for about 15 to 20 minutes. Is there any home treatment for this? Thanks a lot and regards.
I have severe dry eye from Sjogrens. I find that drops with glycerin help me best. I have the eye compress mask you talk about, but I see I’m not using it enough. Thanks so much for your video. I’m a new follower. I also have severe retinal damage in both eyes from plaquenil.
Thank you for your videos. I have watched several and will watch more. I have been using eye drops that have bad preservative in it. I will be using one of the ones you suggested on a different video.
@@eyechannelbyeyesurgeon hello doctor… i’ve seen several opthas here in qatar and philippines.. all of them told me i that my eyes are ok… since december when i started to worry and overthink, these visual problems kicks in (floaters, shadows, blurred vision)… yesterday i had another check up.. dr did a dilated eye exam and found nothing… he told me its just physiological… last oct2022 when i was pregnant i had a leakage in my right eye that heals on its own after several months… although it did heal and my vision improved.. still theres waviness in my vision.. it didnt go back to my pre pregnancy vision.. dr told me it was just the residue in seeing now.. im just so worried that it might happen again… 🥺
Dr, the OPTASE EYE Mask, how long does it last? It's reusable or disposable? And how many uses can I have within 1 mask? It's truly expensive here in Brazil where I live.
You find my recommended eye drops in this video Best Dry Eye Drops - Top 5 Over The Counter Eye Drops for Dry Eyes Recommended by Eye Surgeon ua-cam.com/video/xP-cgGWOq9s/v-deo.html
Would you include the Optase drop in your top eye drops for dry eyes? I watched your video on the top drops for dry eyes and the Optase drop was not on your list.
Warm compresses help release meibom oil from the meibomian glands, and the newly released meibom oil can make vision slightly blurry temporarily. I hope this helps.
@@missroseiam I suggest searching the Internet for Demodex. It's a parasite small emough to enter the pores of your eye lashes eyebrows as well as the the pipes that carry oil and lubricate the eye. It feeds on that oil - hence it causes dry eye and if it's not treated you nose will dry too and it will cause sinusitis.
Optase dry eye intense drop comes in a multi-use drop bottle that maintains sterility over 3 months without preservatives when stored properly. I hope this helps.

I have been putting hexane free caster oil in my eyes every night for about 2 months to treat a cataracts. I have also read online about people using it for dry eyes.

So helpful video, Thanks for sharing about dry eyes and the best treatments at home!
What eyedrop do you recommend to relieve redness?
My eyelids stick to my eyes at night after as little as 1 and a half hours. Makes it difficult to sleep because eye movement in REM sleep rips at my cornea and the pain wakes me up.
Id love to see an item covering this aspect of dry eye disease. Ive been to many optomitrists and so far nothing helps.
Thanks for the reference. I can now enjoy your video.
Hi doc have a blessed day... doc every time i see my phone i got headache and eyes pain

Thank you for your support 😃
The warm/hot compress helped me but I stopped it. I guess I have to do it again.
I was diagnosed with Fuchs disease and prescribed Muro 128. Following cataract surgery I was prescribed Acrylarm for dry eye. I started taking omega 3 fish oil recently and now take the capsules instead. What is your opinion on my treatment please?
I am using warm compresses, fish oil , eye drops , restatiss, cleaning eye lids- no improvement
I have been taking Omega oils supplement forever but it doesn't make a difference in my dry eyes.
Me too
Me too!
what about Refresh Mega-3?

When you say glare, do you mean something like flashes?
Do you have any videos on floaters and how to get rid of them?

Any vegan options for Omega 3s?
Yes, you can find recommended products in the video description and here 👉 amzn.to/46Vr7mj
Could a lid lift have caused dry eye problems
Yes it can, if the eyelids do not close properly after the eyelid surgery. This condition is called exposure keratopathy.
Excellent video and I thank you so much for all these applications that can help my dry eyes and keep my eyes healthy!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻💫

Plaquenil is Hydroxychloroquine. That damages your eyes?

Dr, the OPTASE EYE Mask, how long does it last? It's reusable or disposable? And how many uses can I have within 1 mask? It's truly expensive here in Brazil where I live.
The Optase eye mask is reusable. If used daily, consider replacing the mask every 6 months for best result. Hope this helps.
Several remedies have not worked, please help with my dry eyes!
Dr Audrey, thank you so much for your video. But the optase eyedrops are currently out of stock on Amazon. Any other ones you'd recommend?

My warm compress gives me blurred vision for 10 minutes after use, is this normal?
I have the same problem with the eye mask I used, to the point that it scared me.
@@lolamclaughlin6560I looked loads forums and its normal be blurred a few minutes after 😊
Warm compresses help release meibom oil from the meibomian glands, and the newly released meibom oil can make vision slightly blurry temporarily. I hope this helps.
I also have been using omega supplements for years and it has not made a difference for my dry eyes. Does it only help certain people?

Check for demodex first ... it's the number one cause of dry eye.
Is that the dust mite ❓

Most over the counter eyedrops state that you can use them for 72 hours. Can you use the optase eyedrops for a continued period of time? Thank you.
Optase dry eye intense drop comes in a multi-use drop bottle that maintains sterility over 3 months without preservatives when stored properly. I hope this helps.
Almost half of the screen is covered by subtitles. Very distracting. Some may need it but it should be optionalble.

Can you put pure caster oil actually into the eye? Or in a compress I've heard
I've used pure rose and lavender water in a spray bottle
NO. Lavender water has the oil. The oil will burn your eyes.
I have been putting hexane free caster oil in my eyes every night for about 2 months to treat a cataracts. I have also read online about people using it for dry eyes.
@@marlan5470
Lavender water I've got helps my eyes
@@rebeccawhitt8120please tell me if you are seeing any positive results with the caster oil, In reduction of the cataracts.
Refresh eye drop (omega) has castor and flax oil
