Your Tears starts the focusing of your eyes. If you have poor or a thin tear film, this can cause blurry vision right from the start. If you tears evaporate too fast, and you have a low TBUT, this can cause a foggy cornea, which can cause hazy and foggy/blury vision. If your dry eyes get bad enough, it can cause dry patches on your cornea called keratitis. Superficial punctate keratitis, punctate erosions, and even corneal erosion can form on the cornea, making it tricky to see though those dry patches.
The main dry eye treatments you can do at home include: preservative free artificial tears, omega 3 supplements, and good lid hygiene.

maybe advice on can you have the new lens changed??? as I only recently found you can have two different ones, one for long sighted and one for short sighted, I would have had that.
Dry eye regarding Sjogren's Hashimoto's maybe?
@@vallee3140 a
Sir doctor said the eye cell is damage due to a accident. He currently having blur vision. What should do
love your content! thank you for sharing
I can't believe that not ONE of my eye docs over the years have explained any of this. Not even the test you mentioned or that you can go blind if you don't take this issue seriously. Very upsetting! Thank you for sharing this info.
Some docs are not after your well being but your money.
One thing that I have found with myself... being completely honest and open, is that it takes a lot of energy and time to educate about dry eyes. If a doc is tired, or behind on schedule, it can be really tempting to brush over things. That is something that I have to recommit myself with every day... to try and give every patient my all.
@@DrEyeGuy here in the Philippines, some docs wont treat you unless you are vaccinated. It's like mandatory and as if vax people are 100% immune to the virus. What a joke!
You might not have had all the issues shown here at the time.
Very useful info!!
Dear person reading this you are so so amazing!😀
Thank you ❤️
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹

Awesome video
I usualy had very dry and painful eyes in the mornings with blurry vision, and finally found out that my eyes don't shut completely while sleeping. Not wide open, but a bit. Now I wear a nightmask, and that really works! :)
Interesting
@@NAG3❤
Did your vision improved
@@helenivory9830😊no0😊come come 😅
Goggles! You can see the moisture in them when you remove them. I prefer the “Onyx” over the see-through quartz. Lasts longer and you can’t see through the quartz once the moisture builds. I put a silk night eye mask over it just in case it should slip.
I've had dry eyes for the last 6/7 years...The best remedy I've used it Organic Castor oil...Just using a tiny drop on the fingertip and swiping it across your eyeline like a eye pencil every night for two weeks in the beginning...Your eyes will become alittle blurry, red n gritty for the first two weeks...In the morning you may wake up with crusty eyes, this is all very normal as the Castor oil cleanses your eyes...After two weeks you use it once a week, over time maybe once a month...Your eyes will be clear n sharp, no more weeping eyes or feeling of grit...Castor oil will also safeguard your eyes against Cataracts and Glaucoma...I carry onto to use it every couple of months to maintain the moisture and clear vision...
Do you get any reflex tears? Like while crying or cutting onion?
@@medhikasingh6327 All the time when I had dry eyes, just walking outside in the Autumn weather was pretty bad tears streaming down my face, having to wipe my eyes all the time...Now after using castor oil once a few weeks, I don't tear up cutting onion or while walking outside in the cold...
I can wear contact lenses still?
Thank you for that valuable information. I tried castor oil because I heard it was great for dry eyes and cataracts but gave up after 2 applications because in the morning my eye lash line was crusty. After reading your comments I will persevere. Thank you for sharing your info on castor oil.
What kind of Castro oil brand name ?
For the last few years(especially around 2020) my eyes have been getting dry and irritated. my eyes were never perfect I never had trouble seeing at night or the double vision you talked about. But I can even feel the dryness and irritation but when my eyes are properly lubricated I have vision like an eagle with amazing detail. I would myself contribute most of my dry eyes issue from lack of exercise/activity, my diet not being the best the last few years, and the irritants of my current home, aka environment. Even when I went to an eye doctor the head lady there couldn't have cared less about what I was saying to her about my dry and irritated eyes that this is a new problem. All she cared about was getting me a pair of new glasses $$$ for which I only ever needed them for the classroom sometimes. She was even nasty to say she would tell authorities or so that I needed glasses while driving, basically threatening me which after I got done with what I needed there I will never return. But from this video I feel this is exactly what I have, true dry eyes because of diet, lack of exercise, and environment and these solutions and reasons make perfect sense.
I hope you never go back to that doctor's office. That is horrible how they treated you and tried to intimidate you. That is how it's become with this Healthcare system or should I say sick care system. Hope you are doing well now. Keep up on research.
Ha 😂 joke is on you Doc , my eyes don't fart 🤣 they don't fluctuate homeboy
P.S. I know farting is Flatulence 😂
haleluja! Praise the Dr.EyeGuy 🙏my blurry vision was bothering me last year...now I know why...I am just careless a bit, but it is time to take the right steps. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with us 🙏 ❤ 👍
I have fluctuation between clear and hazy ever since I had cornea transplants. This entire video made so much sense.
I found this video very helpful. I had 6 eye surgeries and ended up with a cornea transplant. This guy is right. Drink water and keep those corneas moist! Especially if you have had LASIK or smoke or use antidepressants or marijuana. All of these things dry out your eyes.
Since I was a child I had a 1/4” grey spot on the white of my left eye which my eye doctor told me was a birth mark. When I was 60 I started to close my eyes in the shower and let the water spray on my eyelids, (eyes closed), turning my head side to side, 20x to improve eye circulation. Within two weeks the mark was completely gone. When I told my present doctor what I did he said it was impossible.
I also asked him what the effects were of preservatives on living cells, or if cataracts were a kind of callus the eye makes from dry eyelids rubbing on the surface membrane of the eye and he didn’t know.
I have always had dry eyes and could never wear contacts. Now I think it’s from clogging my tear ducts with the black eye pencil we used to line our inner eyelids with.
Hi can I please know when you where on the shower did you open the eyes?
@@abshirohassen5 …I run the water on my closed eyes, and when I’m done I just wipe the water off before I open them . I don’t run the water in my eyes, just on the eyelids.
Thank you for replying.........I do have blurry vision and dry eyes and some yellow fat on my side of the eyes......Will maybe that shower trick help.
@@abshirohassen5 …you’re welcome. When I was a massage therapist they taught us that 75% of pain and other problems are due to lack of circulation because the blood heals. It brings nutrients and takes away waste and toxins. That’s why exercise is so important too. You can also move just your eyeballs up and down, side to side and in circles when sitting in a chair. When you’re in the shower with your eyes closed, make sure you hold onto something. Good luck and God bless you.
@@cmwHisArtist Thank you Mr/Miss.
I also have lupus SLE and sjogrens which causes dry eyes. My eyesight is fine except for the dry eyes. My optometrist used a steamer on my eyes followed by squeezing to clear the lower lid oil glands which were blocked. Once this was done, my eyes went from very blurry to clear vision. Very informative video. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing!
great insight thank you for sharing
I also have SLE lupus and secondary Sjogren's, but I went to an ophthalmologist 2 months ago, who told me that I have 4/10 cataracts. Will have it checked out in a year's time.
Can you explain the steamer and squeezing? Hot steam directed towards your eyes? Did the doctor squeeze, or use a tool?
@@wandamusictube first she put a steamer on my eyes for 20-30 minutes, like swimming goggles, this to warm up the oils, then she put the yellow drops in the eyes before she squeezed the oil ducts with a flat paddle like tweezer to unblock the oil ducts. To follow up at home, putting a hot/warm face washer over the eyes then slowly run your finger across the lower lid, finishing upward to the outer eyelid like a smiley face. Do this several times. Do as often as you feel you need. Hope this helps.
Your amazing Doc! You share your knowledge about eye problems GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS💖💖💖
My dry eye problems are caused by a stroke I had two years ago. It has only grown worse over the past two years. Eye drops and eye massages tie in well with what my ophthalmologist recommended. Thanks for the free consultation!
Green tea with honey does an amazing job. I make myself a cup of tea and fill my dropper bottle. Be sure to use fresh organic tea and raw honey. I use it on my dogs too.
Thank you for your post! Helpful! My favorite eye drops are, "Simalisan," it is thick, doesn't sting, lasts & there's 4 or 5 different types for different problems. 💦
I think the problem of dry eyes in case of men is : real men dont cry .
Ok
Lol.. my eyes get horrible after I cry. Really bad, can't hardly see and really hurt.
Bro my eyes suddenly asymmetrical eyes one side im crying
I have suffered with extreme dry eyes for almost my entire life. As a teen, I would poke them or blow on them to make them tear up but with little relief. Then one day I realised that if I yawn, my eyes produced tears. These days I yawn like every few minutes through out the entire day, everyday for the tears. I never use eye drops because the relief is short lived. I have also experienced extremely blurred vision for months and became scared that I was going blind but didn't know why. Now I understand that it's down to the same dry eyes that have plagued me for my entire life :(
Eu tenho o mesmo problema por causa do olhos muito secos! Você melhorou ?😊
Hello I hope your good now. What helped you in treating the dry eyes mostly. How long where they blurred. Did you check with doc?
My heart goes out to U. Not fun at all! I used restasis, prescribed by eye dr., and it caused a much bigger problem, which is dry mouth. It happens while a person sleeps, and drinking water doesn’t stop it. DRY MOUTH , caused by restasis destroys your teeth. We have to have saliva in our mouths 24/7 to not get teeth damage. So beware of any drug like restasis. People have some ideas here that I’ll try, like the organic castor oil. Good luck to you. 🫶🏻😳🤫😝🤨🫶🏻
After I done my cataract my eyes become worst and blurr
I learned more about my eyes here than anywhere else thank you Dr
This the best honest info ever -
Thank you Doc!
Thank you! This comment actually means a lot to me.
@@DrEyeGuy there are only a few honest people on UA-cam and you are definitely at the top of the list!
Very informative and helpful video. Better explanation and advice than I got from eye doctor visits.
Thank you! I'm glad this video is helping so many people.
Very useful information, appreciate your video
This is best video on dryness. You literally solved my concern and doubts on my doctor.
I have get checked up by 5 doctor each and everyone gave a different prescription and number for my lens and last the conclusion was my original number was correct and I have dryness which can only be corrected by artificial tears.
I had all these problems listed below
1. Pain in my right eye only when I wear specs. Without specs its fine
2. Right eye feels like a stone in my eyesocket
3. Pain in eyebrows, below eye, nerve and forehead at right side, when I have the specs.
4. Vision gets blurred after continuous working on the laptop. That's why I follow 202020.
5. Little overlapping characters not much but worsen with continuous work.
6. For dryness I have eyedrops 4 times a day which only delays the pain for a while.
7. I feel sleepy and heavy eyes on my mac all the time and I have to sleep to recover, which I cannot afford
8. Sometimes I cannot see the fonts clearly the same font and sometimes I can. ( Dont remember when) I think after continuously working and not having eyedrops in the last 2 hours
What can be the reason and solution for this.
Hi, I have similar symptoms, I have met 4 doctors and they have given different eyesight numbers, I got four different spectacles still blurriness is still present. However, I have the following problems--
1) I feel little blurry in the mornings from 8:00AM to 10:00AM
2) After breakfast(after 10:00AM), my vision gets more blurry
3) It continues until evening 6pm
4) However I feel active from 6pm until dinner. After dinner, I get blurry once again.
4) Blurriness in the sense, that if I close one eye I can clearly see the vision(closing of any eye). This blurriness is seen both with specs on and without specs.
5) I feel like there is some substance inside my eyes, I want to get rid of that substance. However doctors say that my eye is perfectly fine.
6) I always want to close one eye (any eye) and focus with another eye.
7) Due to this there is headache too, I always want to rub my temple head area due to this headache and always feel sleepy after 8pm. I am not able to hold my sleepiness after 10pm.
8) Due to this I have become completely lazy. Concentration worsened too.
9) Especially I feel this in my left eye.
Finally, I feel like torture and none of the doctors are able to treat my problem from the past two years and now I feel my symptoms have worsened by a bit, If you can help me I would be thankful to you.
My doctor told me it’s screen time. I work on my pc for about 8 hours and my eyes are dry. She explain being on a screen ex laptop, phone, tablet we blink less which produces less tears.
@@iviaqua Ohh same here. Doctor said its because of dry eyes and I get to use eye drops throughout my career.
I had just woken up, checked my phone, and could barely see. After some eyedrops they cleared up but man was I freaking out. I guess that’s what I get for gaming so far into the night.
Doctor I have allergy in my left eye. 2 days ago I went to an eye specialist to check up it . Doctor checked my eye and prescribed me 2 eye drops for use till 1.5 months. But when I read the snallen chart I read it 20/20 with my right eye but can't read 20/20 with my left eye, doctor told it is caused by eye allergy, he didn't prescribed me any glass and also told I have no eye power. I had allergen symptoms like red eyes, itching, watery eyes, swollen eyes, blurry vision etc.... But now after 2 days all symptoms have been almost gone . But still I have swollen eyes and blurry vision on my left eyes . Plz tell me is it for allergy and if I complete the medicine course will this swollen and blurry ness go??? Plz tell.....
I'm sorry, I wouldn't be able to tell without physically evaluating your eye. It is possible for one eye to respond and heal faster than the other eye.
So many times I'll tell patients that their meibomian glands are dropping out and going away and they probably have a certain level of evaporative dry eye disease and they respond by saying "but my eyes aren't dry". At the same time they are blinking about once every 2-3 seconds so their automatic blinks are accommodating for their evaporative dry eyes and they don't even know it. The next discussion is exactly what you talked about when you brought up "Tear Break Up Time" or TBUT. Good info!!!
So common! I would say a good portion of people don't realize that they have some level of dry eyes. Thanks for the comment.
@@DrEyeGuy Thanks for the good content. Keep it coming.
@@DrEyeGuyyep! Just got diagnosed with dry eyes. I thought the overabundant tears were....wet.😅She said my eyes are overcompensating. Got drops, and Lidnlash eye wipes. Will check for omega threes. Thankyou!
Thank you so much, Doctor. You nailed my problem. Now comes the question as to how to bring it up with the eye doctor without offending them. (I know doctors don’t like patients doing their own research on line. But, this was such a relief to watch.) Hope they can help me. I have been losing vision in one eye for two years due to dryness. But, I am on Medi-Cal, which I am greatful for, that takes a great deal of self-advocacy and perserverance.
The referral to an optomologist came from a doc who thinks it’s a cataract. This may be a challenge to overcome. The eye not tearing up as well as the other, seems to be the underlying problem.
Thank you, again.
Try Evo Tears Omega my dear friend. Perhaps they help you, they are focused on building up the lipid phase and work best in combination with drinking cold sparkle water to get your eyes to tear. They build a real long lasting and solid film over your eye.
@@LunaticSpice What’s working for me, now, is to put a bit of peppermint oil on the eyebrow and below the eye. The fumes make it water like crazy. But, I will look for those drops, as well.
If you’re in California, try to find a medical school or university with an optometry department. I believe U.C. Berkeley has one. You will get more advanced eye care than going to your local optometrist. Good luck.
@@RobertMclean-wj2yg Be careful with that, if you eyes are as dry then they are extremely sensitive to sharp things like peppermint and it may cause irritations. Standing in a cool stream of air works too, or walking around a bit with wide open eyes. Good luck with the Drops and dont mix them with peppermint please, because you want your eyes to relaxe not to exite.
Here’s the best way to avoid severe dry eyes like mine….don’t ever have laser eye surgery.
Already have had it. Recommended to stop bleeding in eye after having Covid.
Same here! 7 months after lasik surgery! Don’t do laser!
@@ΒασιλικήΜπέλλου-μ7β To late they already did it.
100% agree...
I've heard this a lot so I'll not consider Lasik.
Yep, my eyes are dry alright, better start cutting onions
This has been a major problem with my eyes. I also have advanced glaucoma. Thanks for the video.
Just found your channel and greatly appreciate your help! I have chronic Uveitis and have very bad dry eyes, I just started using Walgreens own brand of drops after reading a review of the best drops to use, they have no preservatives in them and so far they do a good job. I look forward to watching more of your channel!
Thanks for providing excellent presentation
Thank you Dr Eyeguy. You just diagnosed me and gave me a treatment plan. Why didn’t my last three eye docs do this for me?! You’re a champ. Thanks
Its a lottery these days trying to find a suitable doctor. Once you find one you resonate with, life is great 😁
Hi I am glad your doing well. Did your eyes blur when you had dry eyes. What helped mostly to clear the vision? Thanks in advance!
Thank you Dr just did my check up and I got a new glasses and told the doctor my eyes scratch me alot and she tells wet a rag water and put on it sometimes it's very bad so thank you for your help.
To relief from dry eyes make them cry, watch a teary film for your tear film lol
Or onions lol
@@semoneg2826 lol
Lol or just yawn
Thanks for the information! This is actually really helpful to know. I just completed my CXL procedure about a week ago and feel as though preservative free tears are really helpful. Will it also help healing from the CXL as well?
Hello what is CXL?
I am facing same issue after my cxl treatment can it helps you pls share your experience
@@libertybelmonte1602 it is a treatment for eye disease called keratokonus
I recently had my eyes examined 2 months ago, at vision works. I wear my glasses most of the time, but I notice recently that I've been scunching my eyes real tight and and opening up to make tears. the lighting in our home is not good. I have a hard time looking at things even with my glasses 👓 on .
I have dry eyes and take hylo Forte drops, for the last few years the glare or light from headlights now make me avoid driving when dark, could it be dry eyes or something else?
Dry eye can cause those symptoms, but they can be caused by something else as well.
@@DrEyeGuy I am supposed to take three drops or more a day, but don’t always, but sort of when I remember, should I step it up to four or be more regular with them?
I have drier eyes have hyloforte for last 15 years it’s a eye drop
Hi DR.. i have been fighting with this from 5 years plus. Especially driving. I cant drive without sunglasses , i get little dizzy, pressure around my eyes. It comes and goes. Especially when i am looking at talking to someone i cant focus on them and talk. I keep blinking, my eye sight is perfect, finally one doctor told me i have dry eyes inflammation, she gave me ointment it helped little bit but after didnt. Yea vision gets clear and blurry. Help out if you can
Have you had any other dry eye trestmenst recommended... or possibly a dry eye evaluation to determine the root cause or type od dry eye?
Thank you! Finally got some good tips! Eyes are not producing enough tears and reg eye Dr wanted to put plugs in. I knew that would not help my condition.
Hopefully the treatment you use will work well!
I've got some dry eyes going on, have recently bumped up my intake of omega 3 through .75 can of sardines or other in a day, it's seemed to have made a difference.
60.
My eye doc said some macular degeneration is going on are there suppliments or diet changes I could make that would help, the doc said there;''s nothing I could change to help.
Much of the time I think they've been taught only one way and don't look enough at the foods we eat for cure or to slow down what goes on in a body what's your take on that?
I wish I could tolerate fish or seafood or liver. I've tried to force myself to eat it and I literally puke 🤢.. so I'm sure I could probably benefit from supplementation.. if only the purer quality ones didn't cost so much.
Drink water! I had Lasik surgery on my right eye, I can tell when I’m dehydrated by that eye. I then drink water and then shortly after feel my eye hydrate. It is worth a try!
Great Comment!
Was it blurry?
Did it get cured by drinking water?
I had dry eyes and crusty eyes - PATADAY seemed to solve the problem...
In addition to what you are saying, what helps me a great deal dealing with dry eyes, is to wash my eyes with lots of VERY WARM water and mild soap (eye lids closed of course), water as WARM, hot as I can tolerate, it makes a BIG difference! 😄. I was told to do this by my eye doctor.
Thank you!
I use a wheat bag, as warm as possibly and place that on my eyes. Works really well
helped my eyes a lot watching this! thank you
@@judithhogan453
How to prepare a wheat bag?
Use baby shampoo
I don’t get Dry eyes anymore, my symptom was due to B12 shortage , I don’t process B12 so I have to inject myself everyday , been 3 years now since I started , you have to take folic acid with it and Iron B12 uses these two in the process , get a blood test.
Okay I have a question. I have dry eye because I have thyroid issues. And I take a natural desiccated thyroid pills for this. Whether it's helping or not I don't know. But then I started having dry eye issues. And I used to wear glasses but when I would drive I would have to keep my left eye closed I didn't know why this was happening. I went to an eye doctor and he didn't really give me any answers. So I begin to research watch videos similar to yours and go on dry I platforms of which I didn't really gain that much information. I went to a so-called dry eye specialist who did a test and said you have dry eyes. And all they said was keep using the eye drops similar to what you showed. Well all of this is truly unhelpful and I've worn contacts my whole life but stopped because I couldn't afford them. But I am 62 years old and I wear contacts. And on this one platform the people all freaked out because I have dry eye and I wear contact lenses. Well I have to because I can't walk around with one eye open and the other eye close unless I have a contact lens on. Which is the really bad left eye. And but still these people freaked out because they thought it was weird that I was doing that and they said I'm drying my eyes out more. Well I have to be able to see for starters and there's no one to drive me around and I'm still good at driving so I have to do this but what about when I get to be 70 or 80 am I still going to wear this contact lens I don't want to walk around like a freak with one eye closed all the time. And this is how I wake up in the morning with one eye closed and my left eye open I must look ridiculous. So I don't know what to do. I now have a better eye doctor but I think there's a specialist I can go to unfortunately it's 3 hours away in a bigger city. But still I need to have something done with my left eye. And I do have a scratched cornea which I don't know how I got but I just am wondering.
Sorry to hear this, and it sounds tricky. Have they found out why you need to close one eye while wearing glasses?
I have dry eyes and it worsens my anxiety. Any advice? I would appreciate it
Interesting home remedies! Thanks for sharing your recommended products.
Thank you! There are so many I could have talked about, it was hard to limit it down.
thank soooooo much man i have blurry eyes every now and then i visited for eye ckeckups bt the doctor kicked me out with some drops to use 20 times a day for 2 months i yet felt no relief same blurred vision sometime it's less blurry sometimes i am almost blind and sometimes i get my eyes back to normal ......i was sooo frustrated from a couple of months ......my go supper blurry for about 20 seconds when i look at distanced objects after shifting focus from phone or computers
wow, sorry to hear that! Hopefully you are able to find some relief from that.
Thank you so very much for this info, it's exactly what I needed to hear... finally a clear and not blurry explanation! 😂
Haha! Thanks!
Thanks for the info re dry eyes.I am Lucia from Bar.bafos.Would dry eyes cause sticking of your eye lids?
It does with mine.
Yes it can unfortunately
My one eye always produce a chit chit sound
Hi Dr. Eyes. I don't see any link you said you would leave
Hi, they are all in the description of the video.
EXCELLENT presentation. This was very helpful.
Thank you! I'm glad it could be helpful. Sometimes I worry I'm not explaining it very well, so comments like this make me feel better. 🙂
@@DrEyeGuy it was absolutely helpful. Can you answer a question for me that has been bugging me. Is it common with dry eye that near vision is blurry, but far vision is much clearer?
@@terrigordon5552 good question... not usually. Dry eyes usually affects all distances. But, it could depend on what younare looking at. If you are on a computer or reading from your phone, or your book, then we don't blink as much, and our eyes dry out more. So it could be that. Or, you may need correction, glasses, for close up.
Superb video Doctor I have blepharitis for about 20yrs omega 3 ground linseed with my porridge clean eyelids, helps but I'm going to explore your expert advice, thank you
I have severe dry eye and it's the worst makes me have light sensitivity and severe pain
I'm sorry to hear that! It is a battle for sure, and a lot of people don't understand how much it can actually change your life.
@@DrEyeGuy what about “Clear Eyes”?
Try serum drops !
No gritty feeling in the eye?
I noticed that my dry eyes see more clearly in the morning and after working out does that explain it?
Thank you for your info god bless you
After my Cataract surgery 2 years ago, I have experienced constant blurriness in my left eye. It was diagnosed as Glare or Dry Eye Syndrome? I have to wear dark over sunglasses when ever I am outside and even in the home at times. I have tried many over the counter drops of all types and relief is only for a minute or two. It feels like a layer of vaseline spread over a lens and trying to look through it. Please help me.
I have the same problem. 2 years post cataract surgery. Like Vaseline over the cornea
I suffer from severe dry eyes...I'm so happy that I found your UA-cam channel 💯...and I just Subscribed on 5- 29 -23 😊❤
Thank you! Hopefully I can help in some way.
Do you get any reflex tears? Like while crying or cutting onion?
I use Thealos Duo drops. It is amazing! I haven’t had a drop that keeps my eyes so wet.
Is the lacrimal punctum plug work even when you've had Caterina surgery
Yes, you can usually have punctal plugs inserted after cataract surgery.
I have been on refresh tears for 5 years now an sometime my eyes or so feeling sore as I also has glocumma can thanks for your advice
Sorry to hear this. I hope your eye conditions are controlled.
I have found that it seems it’s from within your body.. I have found now Tgod , I take a dessert spoonful of flaxseed oil in my cereal, also 2 cod liver oil capsules each day, and after about 2 wks my eyes are now so comfortable. I also found Blephaclean eye wipes are brilliant, keeps the eye lashes clean..
Out of curiosity I have dry eyes due to the menopause does this clear up?
With correct consistent treatment, it can help. I am planning a video about hormones and dry eyes in the future.
Wow I never thought of that. Whenever I read for like 20+ mins on my phone my vision starts getting blurry recently. Tried so many things even bought those anti blue light glasses and nothing worked. I tried some eye drops and it helped instantly def gunna be using these more often. My eyes never felt dry so it never crossed my mind. Thank you!
Thank you and God bless you
Also if u have pituatary gland tumor u will also have blurry visions
Castor oil drops for the eyes are really good. I use that at night. That helps to lubricate them..Also helps with cataracts as well.
I did that and switched to coconut oil. Nothing has cured my eyes sealed shut every morning.
@Fairchild Hopefully, they'll be a cure one day.
Dry eyes
You can make your own eye drops, MSM powder, sea salt and few drops of iodine. There are formulas on the web , just make sure everything you use is sterile
@@joyeugenie it's been a few years now. I think I'll switch back to castor oil for a while. I think my inside of my eyelids are damaged and don't whole moisture, so they stick to my eyeballs. Ripping affect. I use saline on them all night long if I have to open them. Horror story, like my eyes are sowed shut.
Eye doctor told me that I have dry eyes but he didn't tell me to use eye drops..
Great video! Extremely informative! I was diagnosed with cutaneous Lupus as well as Sjogren’s. Aside from eye drops is there something natural I can use to stop my blurry vision from progressing? Thanks so much for your time!
Do you have sticky liquid come from your top lids? It is awful.
@@susanbrown2578 that is a meibomian gland issue. I use hot compresses.
Did you attend to your B12 and B1 intake? And at the same time, cut refined carbs out of your diet?
moringa leaf juice is the natural eye drop...steamed moringa leaf juice is safe...we grow moringa tree at home...3 continuous day for each month is enough for me
Thanks for the info doc, found it very helpful. Just wanted to ask In your opinion do you think using caster oil eye drops is a good idea.
Every place I go has the air-conditioning blasting. It kills my eyes.
Or in the winter time the heat will be blasting, also drying the eyes out. Just can't win these days.
And no one understands when we try to tell the normal people🥲
How would I remove or how would I ask my eye doctor how to remove some contact lenses that are no longer on my Iris that are floating around on my eyes??? One on each eye
Your doctor should be able to do it. I need to make a video about this. I think it would help a lot of people to show what they can do.
Super video, very informative, thank you 😄
You are very welcome!
my eye vision has gotten blurrier since late last year when i found out i had diabetes type 2. since about october 2022-now (may 2023). i have had 3 pairs of glasses. the latest pair of glasses i got in february. at first they were saying dry eyes. but since february-april my vision has dropped 6 levels. i got a specialist eye doctor appointment booked in for june. i have no idea what it is, i am very worried about going blind at an early age. i use eye drops regurlaly as prescribed i dont feel any pain in my eyes. just slowly getting more blurrier
How are you doing now?
@@travelingman5146 they ended up stabilising and improving. was told diabetes related when my diabetes gets to high my vision gets blurrier.. they gave me a new pair of glasses when it dropped within a few weeks after starting insulin. i couldnt see out the glasses. thats when they noticed it improved
I have extremely dry eyes, as well as two autoimmune diseases that affect one of my eyes. I am curious regarding what you think of autologous eye drops. Also, I need to have cataract surgery and am feeling very nervous about it because I don’t want to do anything to make my eyes worse in terms of dryness. Thanks.
Your story is about the same as mine!
I have had a lifetime of dry eyes. I have tarsoraphies in both eyes. After my last operation, an emergency patch graft, I had autologous eyes drop . They seemed to have helped because the specialists were not expecting my vision to return. So I would consider the drops. Good luck .
I don't know if it's for you, but look up the benefits of the carnivore diet on autoimmune conditions
For decades it’s been known in traditional Health Food Stores to ingest Flax Oil everyday. Take 1 Tbs per 100 hundred lbs of your personal bodyweight. Put it in smoothies, yogurt, dressings. Flax oil lubricates the eyeball from the inside out. Also, soaking raw honey overnight onto eyeball dissolves cataracts. Keep a wet washcloth on nightstand to wipe honey off before showering. Keep doing this regime til cataract is completely dissolved. Raw honey is a natural antibiotic. If you have an allergic reaction just use Benedrill or antihistamines. 🍯🐝🌾
I had alful dry eyes I started taking omega fish oil I use a warm eye mask morning and night and also use Hylo night ointment and use Hylo day drops, I can't believe the difference and the relief.
can you use these products after a cataract operation by the way you look like prince William did you know 😊
Yes, you can... to be extra safe you can check with your doctor. I have been told that in the past that I look like Prince William... I don't get that very much any more. 😊
Thank you for sharing this information.❤
After Corona I got allergy in eyes. Its become dry
As a Srojgens sufferer I use gel type eyedrops, especially last thing at night, they keep the eye moisturised for much longer. I also carry with me the eyedrops that you can spray at a closed eye, eye drops are great, but this is good as it an be used anywhere and is convenient to carry.
Thanks for sharing!!
You may want to try the new nasal spray, Tyrvaya. It has helped me a lot. A friend has srojgens and tyrvaya has helped her a lot also.
Dr my both the eyes have a scar behind the lence i can't able to see the object drictly i can only see on the side and when I see the television from a distance it's pictures are seen Black and white if I am closer to the television the colour are not so bright when is side the colour and picture is clear. The Dr recommended Zivifresh eye drop and their is no improvement i have this EYE problem for the past 20 years and this colour problem started from 4 months so please give me some suggestions Dr.
Top tier videos - thank you so much for all of this!
Thank you! Trying to improve with every video.
Take omega 3 supplement and avocado per day
Great tips, many thanks
Amazing coincidence: The doctor in this video is Neal Guymon. After watching this (11/10/22), I watched Jeopardy, where one of the responses was "Who is (author) Neil Gaiman?"
Haha! I actually get this a lot now days.
A really helpful video thank you. I drive a lot 8 - 10 hours a day. I’m careful to make sure the air conditioning is directed away from my face as this can really aggravate dry eyes. I regularly use good eye drops and do warm compressions and that really helps.
I came across an article that omega-3 and GLA, gamma lenolinic acid, helps with dry eyes. I increased my intake of both and my dry eyes went away. The added benefits of taking both omegas at higher amount is they addressed my inflammatory cytokines which I was tested for years ago.
@@angelperl77 how many months did your dry eyes take to go away..after omega 3.. did you have blurred vision
Doctor I have dry eyes and and some white patches around the cornea and in winter these patches become thick and dark but become light in summer I have consulted to many doctor but none of them provide me correct solution I am completely depressed as my age is just 25. 😥😥
I was drilling concrete overhead as an electrical apprentice for nearly a a year only using safety glasses. I have had sevier dry eye problems since. Me eye specialist prescribed RESTASIS. I used this for 6 months and couldn't handle it any longer (it felt like I was putting gasoline in my eyes and was burning for at least an hour each time). I no longer use restasis on my own terms and cost. And now only use the over the counter tears drop appointments and gel drops occasionally are uncomfortable. I'm up at least 8 times each night putting drops in because of serious dryness.
I'm not sure what I can do as I feel like my eye doctor just wants me to use these expensive terribly uncomfortable drops.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Maybe another eye doctor for a second opinion? I'm only 37 years of age. And it seems like work place safety is always last.
Thank you for your time !
You can always go in for a second opinion, and see if you can find someone that works a lot with dry eyes. It can be helpful to do a full dry eye workup to see if you can figure the core issue. There are many other dry eye treatments available now, some expensive, some not. Sometimes it may take multiple treatments as well. Sorry to hear this too....dry eyes can be way worse than a lot of people realize.
Try serum drops
Systane works. No side effects, for me. Expensive over the counter.
Punctal plugs helped me tremendously!!!
@@tedlahm5740Do you get any reflex tears? Like while crying or cutting onion?
I have been doing IPL every 6 months and eventually every year (i got very good results) with hydrating eyedrops everyday/warm compress.
Is IPL forever or only temporary? It's quite expensive !
That is a great question, and it may depend on the person. I think the goal would be to try and get to a point where you wouldn't need to do IPL. But some people do need repeated treatment. The question is long-term what effects does IPL have.
Is it possible to make those dry patches disappear?
Yes, they won't be permanent. The cornea can heal just fine with proper dry eye treatment.
@@DrEyeGuy the time it takes to heal probably depends in large part on the level of severity? I’ve been having those dry patches for 6 years and I still haven’t been able to get rid of them. I have only been able to relieve the symptoms.
I'm always exposed to gadgets and I feel like I also have dry eyes. 2 weeks ago my right eyes felt hurt and became irritated. Then after that my right eye vision becomes blurry. Please help me, did my vision increase since I have eyeglasses or my right eye is permanently damaged?
It's hard to say without being able to look at your eyes. If you can, go in to your eye doctor and see if you can find out why that right eye went blurry.
You always have such great information and you present it so well. I usually get this in the summer a lot because I sleep with a fan on. Eye drops definitely help!
Thank you! Same thing happens with me... the fan can really dry the eyes out.
hi, do your eyes blur also in summer.. how long does it take for them to be back to normal?
@@roopaofficial5633 just a couple of minutes if I use eye drops. If I didn't, maybe six or seven minutes until my eyes re-lubricate.
How is their prescription the same if they physically see blurrier?
That's what I was wondering. That's why I haven't been to eye doctor which is way overdue.. cause my eyes are always blurry. I don't want a prescription that is completely different on days when it's not so bothersome
I have severe dry eyes and it was causing me massive anxiety. I have noticed improvement since following your recommendations. It has saved my sanity! Thankyou❤
So good to hear! Thank you for saying this.
What did you do that help the most?
@@DrEyeGuyDear doctor I have anxiety and blurry vision what is the connection between blurry vision and anxiety?I am also taking anti anxiety medicine.
Why didn't my eye doc explain this to me? I have severe dry eyes which got worse after lid surgery (I had to have it).
Sorry to hear that. Have you been able to find any treatments or relief for your dry eyes?
Do the EPA and DHA supplements help increase the amount of oil in the meibomian glands? If so, how long does it take to see results from it?
They can... the main thing is that it helps make the right quality of oil in the oil glands. The length of time really depends on the patient. I usually tell people to give it at least a month, longer if they can. I usually like to use the analogy of losing weight....it's never as fast as you want it to go, and sometimes it might take a while before you notice results.
Cod liver oil bc it has vit A, I think it made a huge difference. Look up coconut oil for eyes, 3 times a day. I do this and do a quick eye massage
Made a slight difference to me in the beginning and then didn't..sadly
Omega 3 helped me a lot.
@@carolbuchan2268 try cod liver oil if you haven’t. I took fish oil caps but no change till someone suggested cod liver oil. I take 2 soup spoons a day
Am 13 years old and I recently noticed that my right eye was blurry when I was doing a eye test at my school for a medical check up every hear I think the cause is because am always on my phone everyday and should I go to a doctor??
My problem appears to be the opposite, my left eye constantly runs with tears, I am wiping them away all day long. Had a Chalazion last year, but since that cleared up I have this constant runny eye. What should I do?
I have chronic dry eyes and have tried everything including ipl. This doctor is right in all he has suggested. Dry eyes procedures such as il and lipiflow are not covered in Ontario Canada and each time we have to pay for these treatments. My dry eyes are so bad it impacts all visual aspects of my life. I'm not sure why it's not a recognized disability or disease.
Exactly! I’ve had it for years, and it’s horrible. I used the drug restasis, and it did not stop the dry eye problem, but it did give me dry mouth. Dry mouth is terrible bc no amt. of drinking water stops it. Dry mouth happens while you sleep and it destroys your teeth, bc there’s no saliva for hours. I just pd about $5k on my teeth due to the damage, all bc of restasis.
Wait I thought socialized medicine was magic?
