I suppose there is no research since it's not widespread problem among adults after 25. However it won't hurt to try using one of these therapies for children and see if it helps - the only drawback is that you have no certainty that your money is worth it. If you wear contact lenses try buying misight for example, if you wear glasses, try changing to mayiosmart, etc. After a year of using 0.05 atropine I had no progression, buy after the next 6 months of intense work I had another 0.05 mm of axial elongation, so don't assume that these therapies would work wonders. I have heard that for children atropine combined with mayiosmart gives the best results, but for now I'm testing misight. Misight are unfortunately 1 day only, have low oxygen transmission and dry quickly.
Being that so many people are liking this comment - and I am seeing other comments about adult myopia progression, I will see what I can put together. Thank you.
@@DoctorEyeHealthwhat do you know about eye pitting? I was just told I have pits on my eyes due to living in the southwest desert area. Is this curable? I can’t find much info on this. Thank you!
@@DoctorEyeHealth Dr, please help me I put hylogel lubricating eyedrops in one of the eyes of my father, he said that i missed the dose it did`nt felt it got in the eye and I am not sure if it is so when i pumped it so I tried for the second time, now my question is I hope that I did`nt give my father 2 drops in his eyes of hylogel.iS it bad if soThank you
Could you perhaps make a version of this video for adults? I'm sure there are a lot of us that didn't have access to these treatments when we were young.
Check out Jake Steiner and his info on Active Focus. Many people enacting these visual habit shifts have had a decrease in myopia, along with becoming emmetropic.
I live in the UK, and I'm 62. Yesterday, I had my first eye test in 9 years! I also had an Optical Cohesion Tomography test. A couple of years ago, I developed Posterior Vitreous Detachment in my right eye, and then in my left. This is common and is due to natural ageing. Symptoms include floaters and flashing in my peripheral vision. However, the good news is my eye health is excellent, except for the PVD! My corrected vision is perfect! So, the Lutein supplement, eggs, carrots, and fresh fruit and vegetables must be helping to keep my eyes as healthy as possible for my age? Eyesight is very important, and very precious. Take care of it!
I can't really recommend how I went from -5.75 to -4.25 in both eyes at age 40 but it did work. Multiple rounds of chemo for lymphoma worked for me, lol. Was told to expect vision changes but didn't expect to improve.
@abdatmohammed5112 different chemo regimens have a side effect of vision changes. Some myopics can have some improvement. Other people can get worse. There's no way to know. I got lucky.
There are two potential causes that could come to mind. First - chemo is notorious for inducing refractive changes within the lens of the eye, as well as cataract development - which can shift the power of the eye. Second is some people I see in the clinic (even without chemo) - also get over-minused (glasses rx too strong) and they are in fact over-using their eye muscles to compensate. And around the age of 40, the lens inside the eye begins to crystalize to a point where its hard to compensate with the eye muscles - so they start to relax the muscles and they want less of a glasses prescription. Just some thoughts. Glad to hear the chemo worked for you!
We learned at the start of summer our 4 year old has significant Myopia and after multiple doctors and research we decided to get her the MiYOSMART lenses via Canada. Contacts just didn't seem right for her at such a young age, so we are hopeful the glasses will help. Keep the videos coming--I feel like I've learned more from doctors like you than at our own appointments.
Dude, i want to cincerely thank you for everything, from ur vids showing ppl how to put in contact lenses to getting them out! I got my first soft contact lens last friday (it's a trail one for 1 month use so i needa clean it frequently) and i have had some problems with blinking and everything, ur videos have made it easier for me to take em out and put em in. I have been struggling a bit with putting them in and getting them out, you have been a real help regarding all that! I just wanted to thank you for everything because i have been struggling for an hour tryna get it out, just watched ur vid about getting them out, boom 15 seconds max and it was done! Thank you cincerely for posting these videos, they're a great help in my journey with contact lenses!
I like more of the "how", the mechanism that correct and help. This seemed geared towards youngsters. How about for older folks? You were mentioning risk of myopia later in life. Is the scale of any myopia mitigation later in life not really worth it?
I have had good questions come through about the mechanisms or "how" this all works so I think I will write a video going more in depth. In general, myopia develops most rapidly during our adolescent years and so the greatest impact of myopia management strategies occurs when treated at a young age. However, some people who do progress into adulthood could theoretically still benefit from these strategies but I would not expect as great of a result.
Lifestyle must play an important role. Neither parent had myopia, my dad was 20/15 even. And I had myopia. (Sibling did not) I played outside a bunch just like everyone else, although I loved to read as a child. It seems like rushing to correct my eyes made it worse, I got glasses in first grade because I was having a little trouble seeing the board. Got a little worse each year until I was told to wear them all the time and the rate accelerated significantly after that. There has to be some kind of signal mechanism back to the eye to get the correct growth.
Yeah there is a signal mechanism, several as it seems. It is not fully understood but we know light plays a role (possibly specific wavelengths), possibly a signal from the internal eye muscles, also the focus of the light onto the retina of the eye (including specific quadrants and areas of the retina). Dopamine signaling and Nitric oxide have been cited to play a role in collagen growth, there are also some smaller studies looking at nutritional influences.
@@DoctorEyeHealth well said. I would recommend you looking into Jake Steiner's endmyopia community and their methodologies for addressing refractive errors. It seems like our eyes do in fact have a mechanism for improving its refractive abilities, as the current mindset is that we solely use refractive crutches for treating improper visual acuity. But from the results of many enacting these tactics, their visual acuity has improved from releasing that locked up ocular tension by reigniting their brain-to-ciliary connection to start releasing and clearing up blur from many distances. It definitely isnt a quick fix, as it indicates that visual habits do matter, and that taking care of the eyes is a lifelong journey just like the rest of our body. Feel free to look into it (and even try out the visual habit shifts if you have time), and let us know your thoughts. Thanks a ton for your videos! O7
Looking forward to some content on the lifestyle aspect (eg. Screen usage up close, first/last thing before bed, on your side, in the dark, for prolonged periods) Thanks!
Is there a connection between myopia and people who are introverted, where social contact is not comfortable? With introverts, sometimes going outside is not a welcome activity, and spending more time indoors socializing electronically is usually preferred.
I wouldnt be surprised. A lot of people with minus glasses, usually had some onset of a focusing spasm in the ciliary, whether it be a twist (astigmatism), or a spherical lockup (myopia). Our visual habits matter in preventing lockups in the eye's focusing muscles, including looking far distance from prolonged close up work, along with central fixation and noticing the WHOLE sphere that's connected to the central point. With lower confident people, they most likely filtered out a good part of the world just to focus on a limited range for directional clarity (sometimes called tunnel vision, or eccentric fixation from Dr. Bates). The key is to start stimulating the eyes again and have a shift in how you view vision (so not just seeing solely the center and a sparse range around it, but connecting with as much of the peripheral WHILE focusing on the center). Feel free to check out Mark Warren and Jake Steiner's videos on these subjects. Tldr: our visual habits matter in releasing the lockup/irregular ocular tension that is causing many refractive errors. So your mood and confidence and posture have an effect on one's eyesight as well, especially if it interferes with good visual habits.
Hi Joey Allen, I will always say PREVENT ENTRY INTO MYOPIA. Or change my refractive STATE, from -0.5 diopters to +0.5 diopters. Essentially from 20/50 to 20/20. I am an Electrical Engineer. Prevention is scientific common sense.
For sure! I also wanted to mention that research is always on going. I know there are some publications about new formulations that should be coming out some time soon.
Eye exercises (pinhole glasses) and sungazing are basics, sun is the equivalent of infra, sunglasses prevent it or you can try old edison bulbs instead of leds, salt lamps include it or candles.
My parents never believed I needed prescription eyeglasses when I was a kid regardless of failed vision tests. They believed me when I was 19 and came home with Corrective eyeglasses they began inspecting it and took them 2 seconds to realize I was always telling the truth about needing glasses and that was my main reason I was failing School. I am now in my 30’s. And still need glasses.
Isn't the most significant lifestyle intervention just being outside for at least two hours a day in sunlight? If I knew this would drastically curb my myopia from progressing as a child, I would've rigorously made it a routine.
Would you please do a video on hypermetropia ? For distant vision issues and well as a new topic on what to do starting from 30s to prevent aging eyes? Thank you.
I wear orthok lenses and have been wearing them since I was about 9. I remember them telling me I was some of the first kids to start wearing these lenses regularly
That is such an informative video, as usual. Doctor, can you please make a video on adult myopic progression and if there’s any way we can minimise it? I’m myopic and my eye numbers kept increasing by -0.5 each time I went to the doctor. Now that I have started wearing the glasses more often, thankfully it’s been stable since 2years now. I don’t know if it’s because of the continued use of glasses or something else. I want to know from you. I’ll be waiting for your next video on this. Thanks very much doctor and best wishes.
I would love you to examine my eyes. You seem to be so knowledgeable at so many eye problems. I have macular degeneration and I have currently lost one eye. I can no longer see out of it. Where is your office.
Hello sir please reply. When i cry my eyes get little water but unable to produce tears. I try to cry from literally from heart out still not. single tear roll down on cheek !!! My eyes spect no. -10 both eyes please please help.i hv checked from so many doctor's no one gave solution or possible causes
My eyes are elongated to the point that I’ve had a few cataracts. Those lasers to the back of the eye to help the tearing. I had a retinal detachment in 2020 when I was 28 that didn’t get fixed due to a corneal tear during surgery. So now I’m blind from that eye. Just waiting for the other eye to go out also. Yes I’m taking eye drops and eye appointments with a regular optometrist and a specialist but still.
@@MiteshDamania that’s the thing. I’m guessing it was but he never said anything. I would go and all he would say was “ hopefully soon”. I got tired of it after few months so I went elsewhere and that’s when I found out about the corneal tear.
Another good talk, I’ll share with my friends who have children. May I ask why at 60 my distance has improved after a lifetime of myopia? Curious. Thank you.
Great question! Thank you for sharing! The lens inside the eye thickens with age and begins to crystallize. With this change, the refractive power of the lens also shifts and the power of the eye usually becomes more hyperopic (more plus power needed) or less myopic. This is sometimes referred to as second sight.
Could you please create a video explaining why my vision suddenly changed from 90 degrees astigmatism to 180 degrees? Just last year, my vision was 20/20, but recently I started experiencing blurred vision, even at a short distance. I visited an ophthalmologist who diagnosed me with both myopia and astigmatism, which he said I've had since birth. This is surprising because I had clear vision just last month. I'm 26 years old, and this blurry vision began around mid-May 2024, with the diagnosis coming in August 2024. Is it possible that I was misdiagnosed? Additionally, I've noticed changes in the axis of my astigmatism over the past few weeks, with occasional double vision at 90 and sometimes at 180 degrees. I'm quite confused.
My son age is now 34 yrs.He developed with lazy eye on left side from birth.We came to know it at his age of 16 yers.To restore vision to some extent what we have to do? Any home exercises or foods for lazy eye? Or perfect treatment place you would prefer? Waiting for your reply?
Hey Dr. Allen, what do you think of using bifocals to control myopia? You didn't mention it in this video but I feel like it's the easiest method to implement and maybe also the cheapest.
Bifocals and progressive addition lenses (PALS) have been found to be only minimally effective over single vision lenses. The one exception to this is the executive bifocal with base-in prism, which has been proven most effective in children with low lags of accommodation - however executive bifocals are often not made anymore and difficult to find an optical lab which will/can manufacture them. Also a challenge for children to use them consistently. But they are sometimes prescribed/used in countries outside the US. But appreciate this great question.
@@DoctorEyeHealth "An exception was the significant control found with executive bifocal lenses (+1.50D addition with and without 3.00D base-in prism). Overall, myopia control efficacy with bifocal or PALs ranged from 20% to 50%." So if you could find a lab that would produce these lenses, would you Rx them for myopia control? IMO it's much easier to implement than those other options
At what age do these therapies work until? My daughter just got glasses for myopia at 17, while my older two have had no issue at all. Just wondering what is still useful at 17. It is currently not a very strong prescription.
Depends on a few factors, most useful for younger children 8-12. But being that myopia may still progress into the early/mid 20s (especially with higher education and near/indoor work) there may be advantages to treating with specialty contact lenses and glasses options.
Refractive surgery like lasik, smile and PRK, reduce the need for glasses/contacts but does not change the axial length of the eyeball. So the risks of eye diseases are unaffected.
How do you treat someone with Autism? My son has asd and myopia. We have tried the atropine and we’ve tried the contact lenses with the contact lenses. He ended up getting an ulcer in his eye thankfully that cleared up and was fixed but now there is no treatment left for him. Any suggestions?
Well, as we get older and cataracts develop, cataract surgery is usually the best option. With older age the axial length of the eye rarely continues to grow and so most people don't experience much of a glasses change after cataract surgery unless there are subtle corneal or retinal changes.
Age limit for atropine therapy? Son was on it in high school (US) for a year or two and now doc wants him on it again (age 21). From what I can tell doesn't seem to be research supporting use beyond around age 16.
What adjustable lenses are you referring to? The only adjustable lens I can think of is the Light Adjustable Lens - with is an intraocular lens implant for cataract surgery.
Yes, I would recommend you checking out endmyopia and looking into Active Focus to get the ciliary to start being stimulated from multiple far distances again.
I asked multiple optometrists here to order a myo-k lens and they don't know how , I can buy them online but I need a prescription , my eyes are -8 and -6 right now , no astigmatism , and recently check for KCN and corneal thickness ect . All healthy , but as its progressing Im afraid to cause future problems with myopia , how can I find proper number for this night time lenses? Are the prescription same as soft contact lenses? Thank you so much
@Doctor Eye health Hi, I have floathers and eye flicker I probably have diabetes (high sugar level), I will go to the doctor soon to check my blood I had an eye test a month ago and everything was fine (with my eyes), but why is my eye flickering? Will it stop if I have low blood sugar or will it be permanent?
I have an uneven face. I bought my first prescription glasses today, but when i tried it, it was crooked to the left. Is this normal, or should the optician adjust it for me?
If the lenses that were ordered with my glasses have a different prescription than the one given by the doctor, that should be the reason why i cannot see properly with my new glasses even after 3 days? for example SPH by the doctor is +1.5 and the ordered lenses are SPH - 1.25
Dr. Allen, I have two things to ask you. 1) sometimes my eyes (I call it scramble) and what I mean is that I'll be looking at something or reading and my eyes like move so fast back and forth I guess and then I can refocus. Is this a problem? And 2) I come from a family with brown eyes on both sides of my parents. My dad and grandmother had brown eyes but as they progressed with age the outer rim of the eyes turned blue and now that I am 69 yrs. old, because I have it now and I am wondering if that is a concern. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. 🥰👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)
Hey! Thank you so much for the questions. Rapid onset eye control movements, sometimes called nystagmus (or other conditions that mimic it), has a long list of diagnosis and should be evaluated by a local eye care professional or a neurologist, some people do specialize in eye movements such as pediatric or neuro optometrists and ophthalmologists. As people age, it is not uncommon to see a grey, yellow or light blue ring develop around the outside of the iris, technically, this color change is developing on the cornea and is referred to as arcus senilis. This is usually due to cholesterol lipids depositing in the tissue and if we see it in a younger person (under the age of 40) it could be a sign of high cholesterol but again, is considered normal in older individuals. With that being said, there are other possible conditions that can cause a similar appearance to the eyes and for that reason, best to ask a local eye doctor about this too. Hope this helps. Cheers

Hey doc, I keep having an issue with my right eye where I see a circle in the center of my vision that seems to darken or dull whatever I'm looking at. Its like I stared into a headlight for too long and It lasts for days and it did seem to fade but came back.😢 Any thoughts would be awesome
I am very nearsighted. My kids are about half as bad as I am. I was very good about screens when they were young and we went outside as much as possible in Ohio. I hate that almost all schoolwork is now done on computers. At least they do get textbooks at their school but at the public schools here the textbooks are only available in the classroom - they have to use the ones online at home. With my oldest we were doing the hard lenses at night, but when We moved to SC I couldn’t find a provider anywhere that offered it. I discontinued them because I didn’t feel comfortable doing it without having an eye doctor close by. I think the closest was 4 hours away.
Sorry to hear that you couldn't find a provider. That is frustrating. Perhaps you can reach out to local clinics and ask if they could order MiSight lenses or other multifocal soft contact lenses to help?
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks for the reply! Well that was 10 years ago, my boys are 17 and 15 now. I just try to do my best with their nutrition and ripping their phones away from them. LOL. They are in contacts now and I never did dailies but worried that as teenage boys they might not always clean them well, so that is what they use. Their progression has slowed significantly down the past 5 years which I am grateful for because my progression got worse until about 20.
how can i read words\letters?i can definitely see objects but when it comes to reading i can barely see letters, with or without glasses, the doctor diagnosed me with retinal scars and optic nerve damaged
Hi dreyehealth. I have a question. When I look at a bright light like a flashlight I get blind spots (afterimages) in the vision that last around 5 minutes. It's like I am blind for 5 minutes ( I know it's called flash blindness). I had laser eye surgery around 2 years ago and I noticed this problem right after I had the surgery so it was most likely caused by the surgery. Is it normal for an afterimage to last 5 minutes? How long is normal? Thanks
Thanks for asking. Usually the afterimages don't last longer than 30 seconds but it may be due to other health factors. Have your eye doctors had any concerns?
@@DoctorEyeHealth I had my eyes checked and they are fine. Do you think this will get worse as I age? Also I was reading online that flash blindness can last up to 10 minutes is that true?
Please please read this. I am 19 years old and i have myopia of -1.5 -1.25 cyl -0.25 -0.25 so im currently studying computer science engineering and after graduation i have to work 9-10hrs a day infront of screen ..so my question is should i pursue in this field or should i change after graduation..i cant focus properly because of the fear of myopia progression and further things
Hey sir I need your help I have a huge problem with my eyes being dry but let me tell my story. So it all started when I was in 12th grade in 2022 in the month of September and I was in class feeling normal and then all of a sudden I feel like a sensation in my eye and it felt like it was very dry. So I told my parents about it and they didn’t think I would have this and so overtime I’ve tried to take medicine to feel better from the dry eyes but I take this blue pill that makes me go to sleep and so the thoughts of my eyes being dry would go away. I thought the medicine would help me but it actually made it worse because overtime whenever I feel sad my eyes suddenly get dry and I feel like a burning sensation and a itch and that I have to wash my face every 5 minutes to make sure it goes away. Here is the worst part about this ever since I’ve had my dry eyes even tho I don’t feel them dry but I feel like something is wrong with my eyes but my family thinks it’s all in my head. So my dry eyes have affected my life mentally because when I feel them dry it makes me stutter more when talking to people and talking to myself, it makes me focus on my blinking instead of focusing on other things that I like and it makes my thought process get worse because when I think of words I want to say when talking to people and talking to myself me focusing on my blinking and stuttering makes me say the wrong words and repeat it over and over and over until I say it right. Also everytime I wash my face the burning sensation on my eyes gets worse. Since that day I still have dry eyes when I don’t feel it but I feel that burn when I blink and after I put on eye drops I still feel them dry. I have more bad days then good because of this and when I have my eyes dry rn it makes me talk fast, stutter more, type fast, and not think well especially at work and at home. So if anybody can help me, what do I do? Because I feel depression because of this. But at this point, I don’t even know what I have anymore if it’s dry eye syndrome or something else but I feel so sad everytime and idk what to do I’ve done my part to distract myself bur the more I blink the worse I get because I can’t get rid of the thought of me blinking and how it affects my whole life. Pls Doctor if you read this help me give me advice because I feel like my life is falling apart.
Bro i have questions that . I have sph 2.25 astigmatism cyl 2.50 Last eye exam it was it but i don't know every 10 to 15 days my get fatigue strain When fatigue or strain has in eye could not see clearly there's double vision etc . So now please tell me why its happening My eyesight is left sph 2.50 cyl 1.50 Right sph 2.25 cyl 2.50 its only happen in Right eye
If you can stop myopia, why can't you prevent it? If you have children , what would you do to help them with totally effective prevention. Have you ever considered that idea?
Please look at studies of using inexpensive bifocal reading glasses with zero diopters on top. My opinion is doctors do more harm than good when prescribing the first pair of glasses. Correcting for distance and using the same lens for reading and close-up work really makes no sense. Newfangled lenses might be interesting but if good results can be had with old technology, what's the point? Children's books have large print, why do they print smaller as age goes up? How many schools teach and practice good vision habits? My guess is about zero. Do any schools provide glasses for all the computer work expected to be done? My guess is about zero. Resorting to drugs because of poor habits is.... Lazy?
This really very good question, if one was prescribed to correct for shortsightdens, it's not fair to use the same lense to read or do some activities near to him. I hope this is the main reason why my sight was getting worse and worse as compared to my first sight -1.2
@@STATAHUBS -1.2 is almost nothing. Practice looking at distant objects far away with a bit less diopters, don't use them indoors. People have gotten rid of their glasses just by using their eyes properly, looking at distant things until little by little they become clear. And never strain with close-up vision.
Hlo sir I have reviewed your channel and noticed that why your channel not getting that much reach .that's because the lake of editing skills and poor thumbnail designs if you want I can help you with this problem.

I'M A 59-YEAR-OLD MAN. I still have 20/15 vision (better than 20/20). Also, I still don't need reading glasses.(I'm in I.T. and look at screens all day) Plus, I can see in very low-light conditions. My brother is the same. Good genetics I guess.
-5 myopia here I can see just fine without glasses so I don't wear them. and I'd rather not. I'm 23 and as long as my eyes are serviceable I'm fine I'll imagine the details.
Why can't children be given reading glasses for near work? Surely that is a cheap and simple solution? It will behave similar to the contact lenses that attempt to slow down myopia.
so its not reversable? damn pandemic really f up my eye, im 20 yrs old its not that worse just yet, i can barely see letters on the whiteboard sitting at the very back of the class
In USSR they gave atropine to child with myopia, also provided red light treatment. So funny in USSR we always looked at western world as ideal health care society. Cos in movies they showed us all fancy ct scanners and crazy heart transplants which we didn't have in USSR. And we always wanted that sugary bright products we didn't have in USSR. Now I can say that biggest regret is collapse of USSR. Even fasting, they did crazy research on fasting and had clinics practicing fasting for weight loss and pressure control. In my school we had only one fat guy and everyone in school knew his as fat one, same in university. In my class 31 people we had zero kids in glasses. Crazy. After US dentists it's not only cheaper to fly back to russia, but it's also better quality. I know it's hard to believe.
sir can you recommend a therapeutic lens for my eye which was injured back in 1985 sometimes i have bullous keratopathy problem (Glaucoma oculi traumaticum secundarium, leucoma corneae)
Wow!! I had no idea this was possible. I had 3 children in 4 years and this caused my prescription to change from -3.25 to -5.25! I was -1.25 to -3.25 from age 14 to 26..that seems normal to me: I was astonished how quickly my prescription kept getting worse in only a few years. At this last exam, my script only changed -.25 in one eye and the other stayed the same.. so glad I could blame pregnancy. Now I have to damage control so my script doesn’t get any worse 🥲 The red light therapy is interesting!! The last year I’ve been using red LED lights to help with sleep and natural melatonin production…I am not sure if this is the reason for my script not changing much the last year but it’s definitely something for me to research more 😊
would you do the same video for adults let say age above 25 years?
I suppose there is no research since it's not widespread problem among adults after 25. However it won't hurt to try using one of these therapies for children and see if it helps - the only drawback is that you have no certainty that your money is worth it. If you wear contact lenses try buying misight for example, if you wear glasses, try changing to mayiosmart, etc. After a year of using 0.05 atropine I had no progression, buy after the next 6 months of intense work I had another 0.05 mm of axial elongation, so don't assume that these therapies would work wonders. I have heard that for children atropine combined with mayiosmart gives the best results, but for now I'm testing misight. Misight are unfortunately 1 day only, have low oxygen transmission and dry quickly.
Being that so many people are liking this comment - and I am seeing other comments about adult myopia progression, I will see what I can put together. Thank you.

Would eye exercises help for older adults? If yes can you make a video on eye exercises? Would be very much appreciated.
I live in the UK, and I'm 62. Yesterday, I had my first eye test in 9 years! I also had an Optical Cohesion Tomography test. A couple of years ago, I developed Posterior Vitreous Detachment in my right eye, and then in my left. This is common and is due to natural ageing. Symptoms include floaters and flashing in my peripheral vision. However, the good news is my eye health is excellent, except for the PVD! My corrected vision is perfect! So, the Lutein supplement, eggs, carrots, and fresh fruit and vegetables must be helping to keep my eyes as healthy as possible for my age?
Eyesight is very important, and very precious. Take care of it!
could you do this for astigmatism?
I can't really recommend how I went from -5.75 to -4.25 in both eyes at age 40 but it did work. Multiple rounds of chemo for lymphoma worked for me, lol. Was told to expect vision changes but didn't expect to improve.
how ?
@abdatmohammed5112 different chemo regimens have a side effect of vision changes. Some myopics can have some improvement. Other people can get worse. There's no way to know. I got lucky.
There are two potential causes that could come to mind. First - chemo is notorious for inducing refractive changes within the lens of the eye, as well as cataract development - which can shift the power of the eye.
Second is some people I see in the clinic (even without chemo) - also get over-minused (glasses rx too strong) and they are in fact over-using their eye muscles to compensate. And around the age of 40, the lens inside the eye begins to crystalize to a point where its hard to compensate with the eye muscles - so they start to relax the muscles and they want less of a glasses prescription.
Just some thoughts.
Glad to hear the chemo worked for you!
We learned at the start of summer our 4 year old has significant Myopia and after multiple doctors and research we decided to get her the MiYOSMART lenses via Canada. Contacts just didn't seem right for her at such a young age, so we are hopeful the glasses will help. Keep the videos coming--I feel like I've learned more from doctors like you than at our own appointments.
Hope your daughter is doing well!
Dude, i want to cincerely thank you for everything, from ur vids showing ppl how to put in contact lenses to getting them out! I got my first soft contact lens last friday (it's a trail one for 1 month use so i needa clean it frequently) and i have had some problems with blinking and everything, ur videos have made it easier for me to take em out and put em in. I have been struggling a bit with putting them in and getting them out, you have been a real help regarding all that! I just wanted to thank you for everything because i have been struggling for an hour tryna get it out, just watched ur vid about getting them out, boom 15 seconds max and it was done! Thank you cincerely for posting these videos, they're a great help in my journey with contact lenses!
🙏🙏🙏
This is great.
My idea is to get completely out of myopia.
Both of us, CREATED MYOPIA in our eyes with our NOSE ON PAGE READING HABIT.
You can't cure myopia naturally tho
I like more of the "how", the mechanism that correct and help. This seemed geared towards youngsters. How about for older folks? You were mentioning risk of myopia later in life. Is the scale of any myopia mitigation later in life not really worth it?
I have had good questions come through about the mechanisms or "how" this all works so I think I will write a video going more in depth.
In general, myopia develops most rapidly during our adolescent years and so the greatest impact of myopia management strategies occurs when treated at a young age. However, some people who do progress into adulthood could theoretically still benefit from these strategies but I would not expect as great of a result.
Red light is definitely interesting, I hope it turns out to be a successful endeavor. Great video as always!
More videos on eye floaters please!!!
Lifestyle must play an important role. Neither parent had myopia, my dad was 20/15 even. And I had myopia. (Sibling did not) I played outside a bunch just like everyone else, although I loved to read as a child. It seems like rushing to correct my eyes made it worse, I got glasses in first grade because I was having a little trouble seeing the board. Got a little worse each year until I was told to wear them all the time and the rate accelerated significantly after that. There has to be some kind of signal mechanism back to the eye to get the correct growth.
Yeah there is a signal mechanism, several as it seems. It is not fully understood but we know light plays a role (possibly specific wavelengths), possibly a signal from the internal eye muscles, also the focus of the light onto the retina of the eye (including specific quadrants and areas of the retina). Dopamine signaling and Nitric oxide have been cited to play a role in collagen growth, there are also some smaller studies looking at nutritional influences.
@@DoctorEyeHealth well said. I would recommend you looking into Jake Steiner's endmyopia community and their methodologies for addressing refractive errors. It seems like our eyes do in fact have a mechanism for improving its refractive abilities, as the current mindset is that we solely use refractive crutches for treating improper visual acuity.
But from the results of many enacting these tactics, their visual acuity has improved from releasing that locked up ocular tension by reigniting their brain-to-ciliary connection to start releasing and clearing up blur from many distances. It definitely isnt a quick fix, as it indicates that visual habits do matter, and that taking care of the eyes is a lifelong journey just like the rest of our body. Feel free to look into it (and even try out the visual habit shifts if you have time), and let us know your thoughts. Thanks a ton for your videos! O7
Looking forward to some content on the lifestyle aspect (eg. Screen usage up close, first/last thing before bed, on your side, in the dark, for prolonged periods)
Thanks!
For sure!
Is there a connection between myopia and people who are introverted, where social contact is not comfortable? With introverts, sometimes going outside is not a welcome activity, and spending more time indoors socializing electronically is usually preferred.
I wouldnt be surprised. A lot of people with minus glasses, usually had some onset of a focusing spasm in the ciliary, whether it be a twist (astigmatism), or a spherical lockup (myopia). Our visual habits matter in preventing lockups in the eye's focusing muscles, including looking far distance from prolonged close up work, along with central fixation and noticing the WHOLE sphere that's connected to the central point.
With lower confident people, they most likely filtered out a good part of the world just to focus on a limited range for directional clarity (sometimes called tunnel vision, or eccentric fixation from Dr. Bates).
The key is to start stimulating the eyes again and have a shift in how you view vision (so not just seeing solely the center and a sparse range around it, but connecting with as much of the peripheral WHILE focusing on the center).
Feel free to check out Mark Warren and Jake Steiner's videos on these subjects.
Tldr: our visual habits matter in releasing the lockup/irregular ocular tension that is causing many refractive errors. So your mood and confidence and posture have an effect on one's eyesight as well, especially if it interferes with good visual habits.
Hi Joey Allen,
I will always say PREVENT ENTRY INTO MYOPIA.
Or change my refractive STATE, from -0.5 diopters to +0.5 diopters.
Essentially from 20/50 to 20/20.
I am an Electrical Engineer.
Prevention is scientific common sense.
Very interesting. This is the first time I have heard about some of these possible solutions. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Some clinics don't necessarily manage myopia or specialize in these types of contact lenses or treatments.
@@DoctorEyeHealth True!
Great video. Thanks for mentioning 0.05 % Atropine and not 0.01 %. 🙃🙃
For sure! I also wanted to mention that research is always on going. I know there are some publications about new formulations that should be coming out some time soon.
Eye exercises (pinhole glasses) and sungazing are basics, sun is the equivalent of infra, sunglasses prevent it or you can try old edison bulbs instead of leds, salt lamps include it or candles.
Would reccomend meditation, Active Focus, and central fixation as well for enacting visual habit shifts to improve the refractive errors in the eyes.
Fake.
My parents never believed I needed prescription eyeglasses when I was a kid regardless of failed vision tests. They believed me when I was 19 and came home with Corrective eyeglasses they began inspecting it and took them 2 seconds to realize I was always telling the truth about needing glasses and that was my main reason I was failing School. I am now in my 30’s. And still need glasses.
Hi. What is your experience with prisms contact sclerals in strabismus and iregular astigmatism ?
Isn't the most significant lifestyle intervention just being outside for at least two hours a day in sunlight? If I knew this would drastically curb my myopia from progressing as a child, I would've rigorously made it a routine.
Would you please do a video on hypermetropia ? For distant vision issues and well as a new topic on what to do starting from 30s to prevent aging eyes? Thank you.
Glasses for myopia taming - the glasses of the strength which are just enough to see clearly at 60 cm distance
Thanks for your tips on transition lenses they helped me alot
Need to know about lens induced myopia, can we put lower prescription glasses to prevent headache
I wear orthok lenses and have been wearing them since I was about 9. I remember them telling me I was some of the first kids to start wearing these lenses regularly
Did it help?
@ Yes!
@@Farrah_bee what was the number before you started wearing it.
What is the number now.
Thanks..
@@winsmith9804 Old number was around 20/30 I think, and now i’m like 20/18
That is such an informative video, as usual. Doctor, can you please make a video on adult myopic progression and if there’s any way we can minimise it? I’m myopic and my eye numbers kept increasing by -0.5 each time I went to the doctor. Now that I have started wearing the glasses more often, thankfully it’s been stable since 2years now. I don’t know if it’s because of the continued use of glasses or something else. I want to know from you. I’ll be waiting for your next video on this. Thanks very much doctor and best wishes.
Thank you! And yes, many people have asked about an adult progressive myopia video so I will work on that.
I would love you to examine my eyes. You seem to be so knowledgeable at so many eye problems. I have macular degeneration and I have currently lost one eye. I can no longer see out of it. Where is your office.
Hello sir please reply. When i cry my eyes get little water but unable to produce tears. I try to cry from literally from heart out still not. single tear roll down on cheek !!! My eyes spect no. -10 both eyes please please help.i hv checked from so many doctor's no one gave solution or possible causes
My eyes are elongated to the point that I’ve had a few cataracts. Those lasers to the back of the eye to help the tearing. I had a retinal detachment in 2020 when I was 28 that didn’t get fixed due to a corneal tear during surgery. So now I’m blind from that eye. Just waiting for the other eye to go out also. Yes I’m taking eye drops and eye appointments with a regular optometrist and a specialist but still.
so sorry :( Was it an error on the surgeon's part?
@@MiteshDamania that’s the thing. I’m guessing it was but he never said anything. I would go and all he would say was “ hopefully soon”. I got tired of it after few months so I went elsewhere and that’s when I found out about the corneal tear.
@@lizardking91 what a bastrd. Always go to two doctors when you have surgery
@@lizardking91 I guess wait for stem cells to happen in the future
@@MiteshDamania I was referred to a specialist in San Francisco but I said no. I felt like it would be a waste of time since I waited so long.
Another good talk, I’ll share with my friends who have children. May I ask why at 60 my distance has improved after a lifetime of myopia? Curious. Thank you.
Ваш хрусталик стал уплотняться,он стал + линзой, поэтому, ваша миопия уменьшилась.
@@fulmonolog1837apparently everything begins to thicken after 60. 😁
Great question! Thank you for sharing!
The lens inside the eye thickens with age and begins to crystallize. With this change, the refractive power of the lens also shifts and the power of the eye usually becomes more hyperopic (more plus power needed) or less myopic. This is sometimes referred to as second sight.
Could you please create a video explaining why my vision suddenly changed from 90 degrees astigmatism to 180 degrees? Just last year, my vision was 20/20, but recently I started experiencing blurred vision, even at a short distance. I visited an ophthalmologist who diagnosed me with both myopia and astigmatism, which he said I've had since birth. This is surprising because I had clear vision just last month. I'm 26 years old, and this blurry vision began around mid-May 2024, with the diagnosis coming in August 2024. Is it possible that I was misdiagnosed? Additionally, I've noticed changes in the axis of my astigmatism over the past few weeks, with occasional double vision at 90 and sometimes at 180 degrees. I'm quite confused.
Excellent information, thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks again Mark!
My son age is now 34 yrs.He developed with lazy eye on left side from birth.We came to know it at his age of 16 yers.To restore vision to some extent what we have to do? Any home exercises or foods for lazy eye? Or perfect treatment place you would prefer? Waiting for your reply?
Hey Dr. Allen, what do you think of using bifocals to control myopia? You didn't mention it in this video but I feel like it's the easiest method to implement and maybe also the cheapest.
Bifocals and progressive addition lenses (PALS) have been found to be only minimally effective over single vision lenses. The one exception to this is the executive bifocal with base-in prism, which has been proven most effective in children with low lags of accommodation - however executive bifocals are often not made anymore and difficult to find an optical lab which will/can manufacture them. Also a challenge for children to use them consistently. But they are sometimes prescribed/used in countries outside the US.
But appreciate this great question.
@@DoctorEyeHealth
"An exception was the significant control found with executive bifocal lenses (+1.50D addition with and without 3.00D base-in prism). Overall, myopia control efficacy with bifocal or PALs ranged from 20% to 50%."
So if you could find a lab that would produce these lenses, would you Rx them for myopia control? IMO it's much easier to implement than those other options
Any videos regarding kerataconus?
Several! ua-cam.com/play/PLzi60fSuOmPD3YkK4dR29f9fz_tu0dTNr.html
At what age do these therapies work until? My daughter just got glasses for myopia at 17, while my older two have had no issue at all. Just wondering what is still useful at 17. It is currently not a very strong prescription.
Depends on a few factors, most useful for younger children 8-12. But being that myopia may still progress into the early/mid 20s (especially with higher education and near/indoor work) there may be advantages to treating with specialty contact lenses and glasses options.
Thank you for sharing Dr Allen
Any time! Happy to help. Thanks for watching and sharing!
How does refractive eye surgery like lasik or smile affect myopia? Is this something worth considering as an adult who has myopia?
Refractive surgery like lasik, smile and PRK, reduce the need for glasses/contacts but does not change the axial length of the eyeball. So the risks of eye diseases are unaffected.
I have a questions, can be Myopia genetics too?
How do you treat someone with Autism? My son has asd and myopia. We have tried the atropine and we’ve tried the contact lenses with the contact lenses. He ended up getting an ulcer in his eye thankfully that cleared up and was fixed but now there is no treatment left for him. Any suggestions?
And how about glaucoma? Isn't atropine increasing the intraocular pressure?
Thanks dr.josef ❤ ❤
Is there new technology for senior eyes that can improve myopia issues and cataracts?
Well, as we get older and cataracts develop, cataract surgery is usually the best option. With older age the axial length of the eye rarely continues to grow and so most people don't experience much of a glasses change after cataract surgery unless there are subtle corneal or retinal changes.
Age limit for atropine therapy? Son was on it in high school (US) for a year or two and now doc wants him on it again (age 21). From what I can tell doesn't seem to be research supporting use beyond around age 16.
😮what age is for adjustable lenses and do disabled people benefit at a younger age than seniors do?
What adjustable lenses are you referring to? The only adjustable lens I can think of is the Light Adjustable Lens - with is an intraocular lens implant for cataract surgery.
What does "onset" of myopia mean? I assumed it was inevitable and constantly happening. Only a matter of slowing it down.
Hi dr. Is zinc carnosine 2 % and 4% eye drops and vitamin d3 k2 could improve cataract slowdown
Is there a way to go back to 20 20 vision because I got it recently and it's been pretty annoying
Yes, I would recommend you checking out endmyopia and looking into Active Focus to get the ciliary to start being stimulated from multiple far distances again.
Great video.
Thank you! Appreciate that!
❤️❤️ needed this
That makes me happy to hear! Cheers!
I asked multiple optometrists here to order a myo-k lens and they don't know how , I can buy them online but I need a prescription , my eyes are -8 and -6 right now , no astigmatism , and recently check for KCN and corneal thickness ect . All healthy , but as its progressing Im afraid to cause future problems with myopia , how can I find proper number for this night time lenses?
Are the prescription same as soft contact lenses? Thank you so much
How common is farsightedness and is it associated with viewer eye diseases?
@Doctor Eye health
Hi, I have floathers and eye flicker
I probably have diabetes (high sugar level), I will go to the doctor soon to check my blood
I had an eye test a month ago and everything was fine (with my eyes), but why is my eye flickering?
Will it stop if I have low blood sugar or will it be permanent?
I have an uneven face. I bought my first prescription glasses today, but when i tried it, it was crooked to the left. Is this normal, or should the optician adjust it for me?
Most people do have some facial asymmetry. Glasses can be adjusted and I would recommend having an optician help you.
If the lenses that were ordered with my glasses have a different prescription than the one given by the doctor, that should be the reason why i cannot see properly with my new glasses even after 3 days? for example SPH by the doctor is +1.5 and the ordered lenses are SPH - 1.25
Does this work for adults?
Dr. Allen, I have two things to ask you. 1) sometimes my eyes (I call it scramble) and what I mean is that I'll be looking at something or reading and my eyes like move so fast back and forth I guess and then I can refocus. Is this a problem? And 2) I come from a family with brown eyes on both sides of my parents. My dad and grandmother had brown eyes but as they progressed with age the outer rim of the eyes turned blue and now that I am 69 yrs. old, because I have it now and I am wondering if that is a concern. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. 🥰👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)
Hey! Thank you so much for the questions. Rapid onset eye control movements, sometimes called nystagmus (or other conditions that mimic it), has a long list of diagnosis and should be evaluated by a local eye care professional or a neurologist, some people do specialize in eye movements such as pediatric or neuro optometrists and ophthalmologists.
As people age, it is not uncommon to see a grey, yellow or light blue ring develop around the outside of the iris, technically, this color change is developing on the cornea and is referred to as arcus senilis. This is usually due to cholesterol lipids depositing in the tissue and if we see it in a younger person (under the age of 40) it could be a sign of high cholesterol but again, is considered normal in older individuals. With that being said, there are other possible conditions that can cause a similar appearance to the eyes and for that reason, best to ask a local eye doctor about this too.
Hope this helps. Cheers
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I will be making an appointment soon.

I want to change my eye color. Is there a safe laser?
Hey doc, I keep having an issue with my right eye where I see a circle in the center of my vision that seems to darken or dull whatever I'm looking at. Its like I stared into a headlight for too long and It lasts for days and it did seem to fade but came back.😢 Any thoughts would be awesome
I am very nearsighted. My kids are about half as bad as I am. I was very good about screens when they were young and we went outside as much as possible in Ohio. I hate that almost all schoolwork is now done on computers. At least they do get textbooks at their school but at the public schools here the textbooks are only available in the classroom - they have to use the ones online at home. With my oldest we were doing the hard lenses at night, but when We moved to SC I couldn’t find a provider anywhere that offered it. I discontinued them because I didn’t feel comfortable doing it without having an eye doctor close by. I think the closest was 4 hours away.
No one has ever mentioned the mi sight lenses to me. 🙁
Sorry to hear that you couldn't find a provider. That is frustrating. Perhaps you can reach out to local clinics and ask if they could order MiSight lenses or other multifocal soft contact lenses to help?
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks for the reply! Well that was 10 years ago, my boys are 17 and 15 now. I just try to do my best with their nutrition and ripping their phones away from them. LOL. They are in contacts now and I never did dailies but worried that as teenage boys they might not always clean them well, so that is what they use. Their progression has slowed significantly down the past 5 years which I am grateful for because my progression got worse until about 20.
how can i read words\letters?i can definitely see objects but when it comes to reading i can barely see letters, with or without glasses, the doctor diagnosed me with retinal scars and optic nerve damaged
Hi dreyehealth.
I have a question. When I look at a bright light like a flashlight I get blind spots (afterimages) in the vision that last around 5 minutes. It's like I am blind for 5 minutes ( I know it's called flash blindness). I had laser eye surgery around 2 years ago and I noticed this problem right after I had the surgery so it was most likely caused by the surgery. Is it normal for an afterimage to last 5 minutes? How long is normal?
Thanks
Thanks for asking. Usually the afterimages don't last longer than 30 seconds but it may be due to other health factors. Have your eye doctors had any concerns?
@@DoctorEyeHealth I had my eyes checked and they are fine. Do you think this will get worse as I age? Also I was reading online that flash blindness can last up to 10 minutes is that true?

Hey sir I need your help I have a huge problem with my eyes being dry but let me tell my story. So it all started when I was in 12th grade in 2022 in the month of September and I was in class feeling normal and then all of a sudden I feel like a sensation in my eye and it felt like it was very dry. So I told my parents about it and they didn’t think I would have this and so overtime I’ve tried to take medicine to feel better from the dry eyes but I take this blue pill that makes me go to sleep and so the thoughts of my eyes being dry would go away. I thought the medicine would help me but it actually made it worse because overtime whenever I feel sad my eyes suddenly get dry and I feel like a burning sensation and a itch and that I have to wash my face every 5 minutes to make sure it goes away. Here is the worst part about this ever since I’ve had my dry eyes even tho I don’t feel them dry but I feel like something is wrong with my eyes but my family thinks it’s all in my head. So my dry eyes have affected my life mentally because when I feel them dry it makes me stutter more when talking to people and talking to myself, it makes me focus on my blinking instead of focusing on other things that I like and it makes my thought process get worse because when I think of words I want to say when talking to people and talking to myself me focusing on my blinking and stuttering makes me say the wrong words and repeat it over and over and over until I say it right. Also everytime I wash my face the burning sensation on my eyes gets worse. Since that day I still have dry eyes when I don’t feel it but I feel that burn when I blink and after I put on eye drops I still feel them dry. I have more bad days then good because of this and when I have my eyes dry rn it makes me talk fast, stutter more, type fast, and not think well especially at work and at home. So if anybody can help me, what do I do? Because I feel depression because of this. But at this point, I don’t even know what I have anymore if it’s dry eye syndrome or something else but I feel so sad everytime and idk what to do I’ve done my part to distract myself bur the more I blink the worse I get because I can’t get rid of the thought of me blinking and how it affects my whole life. Pls Doctor if you read this help me give me advice because I feel like my life is falling apart.

the myopia glasses look promising
I think the way they work is rather fascinating. Looking forward to getting my hands on them and doing some videos on the tech.
How can I get rid of my so called "Age-related farsightedness"?
Is it valid for degenerative myopia?
Some strategies are more appropriate for smaller myopic prescriptions but I think utilizing strategies to slow myopia would be important either way.
I have a huge fear of going blind. My vision is pretty bad and I’m 29
Help! Why my head hurts like I'm wearing high grade glasses and I'm not even wearing glasses 😭
If you can stop myopia, why can't you prevent it?
If you have children , what would you do to help them with totally effective prevention.
Have you ever considered that idea?
Please look at studies of using inexpensive bifocal reading glasses with zero diopters on top.
My opinion is doctors do more harm than good when prescribing the first pair of glasses.
Correcting for distance and using the same lens for reading and close-up work really makes no sense.
Newfangled lenses might be interesting but if good results can be had with old technology, what's the point?
Children's books have large print, why do they print smaller as age goes up?
How many schools teach and practice good vision habits?
My guess is about zero.
Do any schools provide glasses for all the computer work expected to be done?
My guess is about zero.
Resorting to drugs because of poor habits is.... Lazy?
This really very good question, if one was prescribed to correct for shortsightdens, it's not fair to use the same lense to read or do some activities near to him. I hope this is the main reason why my sight was getting worse and worse as compared to my first sight -1.2
@@STATAHUBS
-1.2 is almost nothing.
Practice looking at distant objects far away with a bit less diopters, don't use them indoors.
People have gotten rid of their glasses just by using their eyes properly, looking at distant things until little by little they become clear.
And never strain with close-up vision.

-5 myopia here I can see just fine without glasses so I don't wear them. and I'd rather not. I'm 23 and as long as my eyes are serviceable I'm fine I'll imagine the details.
Do you mean -0,5?
Why can't children be given reading glasses for near work? Surely that is a cheap and simple solution? It will behave similar to the contact lenses that attempt to slow down myopia.

In USSR they gave atropine to child with myopia, also provided red light treatment. So funny in USSR we always looked at western world as ideal health care society. Cos in movies they showed us all fancy ct scanners and crazy heart transplants which we didn't have in USSR. And we always wanted that sugary bright products we didn't have in USSR. Now I can say that biggest regret is collapse of USSR. Even fasting, they did crazy research on fasting and had clinics practicing fasting for weight loss and pressure control. In my school we had only one fat guy and everyone in school knew his as fat one, same in university. In my class 31 people we had zero kids in glasses. Crazy. After US dentists it's not only cheaper to fly back to russia, but it's also better quality. I know it's hard to believe.

I am 24 male. Can i use atropine for myopia. My left eye is getting worse.
Doctor, I have a question. Can you tell me my Instagram name? Please ❤❤
Your instagram or mine?
Wow!! I had no idea this was possible. I had 3 children in 4 years and this caused my prescription to change from -3.25 to -5.25! I was -1.25 to -3.25 from age 14 to 26..that seems normal to me: I was astonished how quickly my prescription kept getting worse in only a few years. At this last exam, my script only changed -.25 in one eye and the other stayed the same.. so glad I could blame pregnancy. Now I have to damage control so my script doesn’t get any worse 🥲
The red light therapy is interesting!! The last year I’ve been using red LED lights to help with sleep and natural melatonin production…I am not sure if this is the reason for my script not changing much the last year but it’s definitely something for me to research more 😊
