From last week it was burning in my eyes as i come home from work it feels like something is irritating my eye i use to wash my eye frequently to get rid of this burning sensation finally i consulted ophthalmologist she prescribed me drops .

[@toastershooter5186]

You are truly a savior, thank you so much! After going to 3 different doctors non have gave me the information you have. Just 1 week of following your routine has made a HUGE difference, you are the man

[@DrEyeGuy]

Amazing! Thank you for commenting your experience. Glad it helped.

[@butchieblock9118]

Thank YOU!! VERY helpful! Going for cataract surgery next week but I've been battling with blepharitis for over a year now, so loving to learn about more options!

[@maxinebernardi9488]

Thank you. Fighting severe dry eyes. This is wonderful. I follow most of your routine so I'm pumped to see I am doing something positive to fight ths gut wrestling evil🎉

[@DrEyeGuy]

I wish you all of the luck in the fight.

[@pattibenjamin4404]

I agree with the doctor. Consistency is key.! I have the Tear Restore mask. I love it because you can see what you're doing while you wear it.

[@DrEyeGuy]

I agree! One of my favorite masks! Thanks for the comment.

[@lyndashimoda3628]

Where can I get one?

[@pattibenjamin4404]

I live in canada. So I think you can order the mask right from the tear restore website

[@bcfran3g844]

Thank you. I had cataract removal and have dry eye. I thank you for teaching me to blink. Yesterday, I did not need to use hydrate drops

[@DrEyeGuy]

Good to hear! I hope your eyes keep getting better.

[@bellaqueen7654]

thank you for this and all your videos! 👁 love how in depth you go ^ and get specific with routines, products (and individuals vary with what’s best for them and could consult with their eye doctors- disclaimer for this comment if useful 😊) , ie what you use yourself…and the end of video holistic lifestyle tips. Just discovered the channel and it’s very helpful 👌

I have chronic dry eye I'm currently working on correcting naturally with moist heat therapy and massages to the Meibomian glands in order to increase healthier oil production. I saw the Itears 100, but cannot find any opthalmologists aware of it in my area to prescribe it for me in order for me to also produce more healthy tears. To make matters worse, I have recurrent erosion in both eyes which begins to generally occur more frequently and more severely around Nov. and throughout the winter months due to dryer winter air in Pennsylvania. I've purchased two humidifiers to balance our home relative humidity between 55-60%, and while it does help to reduce the severity of the episodes, the recurrent erosion episodes still persist. In addition to dry winter air causing the recurrent erosion episodes to increase in both frequency and severity, and the humidifiers aiding in reducing the severity of the episodes, could the recurrent erosion episode frequency also be a result of winter barometric pressure being different than that of the warmer months?

[@julilla1]

The electric compress looks so nice. I'd love to use it just because.

[@DrEyeGuy]

It really is nice... nice and relaxing.

[@ZacharyWithers]

Hi Doc, I have implemented a routine similar to yours (heat compress --> NuLids device --> Restasis) but do so in the morning. At night, I just administer a drop of Restasis in each eye before bed. Do you recommend doing the same routine in the morning AND at night? Or, should there be a difference in the morning routine versus the nighttime routine?

[@benroderich5058]

Hello Dr. Guymon. Did you hear about the newest therapeutic approach from danish scientists with stem cells against dry eyes? Whats your opinion about it? I would be glad to hear your opinion on this. For all who suffer from dry eyes. I tried about 15 different products, till I found the the best tear drops for me, which have helped me a lot. The brand: Hylo Evo tears from the German manufacturer Uspharam. Maybe its also possible to receive it in the US.

[@JuliannaKahn]

I am suffering from severe Dry Eye and MGD as I understand it where the Prescription drops have not really provided relief. Your videos have been so helpful and as a result, I purchased the Nulids device. My issue is that the company doesn't provide much guidance. I'm not sure whether to use my Bruder Warm Eye Compress, Eye Wipes and Hypochlorous Acid before or after the device.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thank you for watching my videos. I have tried different orders of dry eye treatments, and for me, the orders in the video worked the best for me.

[@abdulelah9726]

Dr. you are amazing 👏

[@deeptipandey364]

Doctor please suggest some eyelids cleansing products available in india.. suffering from mgd.. thanks for such amazing video..

[@ibi4621]

Could a very gentle face cleanser + a hipoclorous acid spray cleansers be enough for effectively cleaning our eyes(as advertised for those brands)? I feel like treating chronic dry eye with so many different products can be so expensive 😶😶 for many people

[@DrEyeGuy]

I think for many people it can... and you are right... treating dry eye can get crazy expensive.

[@Dandelion_flight]

If my eyes feel the driest at night while sleeping, do you know if it is due to tear glands not producing enough tears? Sometimes my eyes water while I sleep at night. It's not like I was crying due to a bad dream. I am conscious about the watering. I wonder what can that tell me? Could it be my tear glands are not producing enough tears? Could it be that my eyes are actually not fully closed and evaporation of the tears happen? 😪

[@ralphstephens287]

Using baby shampoo in the shower while rubbing my eye lids works good for me

[@markflatters9819]

That's exactly what I do....simple & straightforward,plus it works!!

[@hamthelad]

Hi Doc, any thoughts on using castor oil drops at bedtime?

[@anonymousnoon]

Big no because it might make it worse and clog the eyeglands even more.. you can use the oild during the day thwn wash it aftern30 minutes but never sleep with... ofcourse every person is different but that what happenednin my experience

[@katiekane5247]

OMG, I've struggled for decades, seen multiple eye Drs & have gotten very little help from any of them. I was an RN so I've tried common sense remedies, I practice lid hygiene religiously. Complicated by Sjogrens & chronic herpes keratitis & dystichias. I can't get any of the Drs to look at my disfigured eyelash bulbs & I don't have access to a microscope anymore. I've got a large corneal dystrophy & it's been recommended to do corneal resurfacing. Problem is, my corneas don't heal well. How do I find a Dr like you?

[@ingridspeck5202]

What about using these masdages tools when you have cataract lenses. Any issues with that?

[@choosehope8729]

What’s your opinion on fish oil? Another doctor said 2000mg daily fish oil helps his patients

[@DrEyeGuy]

I use fish oil myself, and recommend it to my patients. I have seen enough research to at least tell patients to try it.

Can dry eye be completely cured? I MGD and have been going through different treatments such as E-Eye, it has been getting better for sure but can my eyes be back to normal again?

[@DrEyeGuy]

I usually try to avoid the word "cure". Mainly because there can be so many different causes to dry eye, and people are different in how they respond to dry eye treatments. But... I do think the majority of people can get to a point where they can adequately maintain healthy eyes. Kind of like losing weight and being healthy.... It's going to take some consistent work.

[@morrgash]

How soon after cataract surgery is it safe to use these methods? I had my second eye done 6 weeks ago.. just wasn’t sure if rubbing or warm compresses should wait.. or if it’s safe now. Thanks for your videos.

[@DrEyeGuy]

To be on the safe side, I would ask your doctor. It might depend on the type of procedure they performed for your cataract surgery.

[@Suzy3223]

@@DrEyeGuy Thank you. I’ll give him a call.

[@juliamartinez2857]

Will washing your eye lids with baby shampoo help?

[@DrEyeGuy]

It can help... but people also can be sensitive to the ingredients in there, and so sometimes it can irritate the eyelids. There are better ways to clean the eyelids now, so you will start seeing more and more doctors move away from baby shampoo.

[@pptx24]

Me, i can’t use warm compresses. It makes my eyes more red.

Do you get any money from Nulids?

Sorry to hear this! Have you checked with your doctor about taking omega 3 supplements? I have had a few patients that get upset stomachs. They did better decreasing the dose, and taking at night instead of in the morning.

[@laughteradewale5773]

@Dr. EyeGuy Thank you sir and how long does it take to go away because I pause it for now until the pains go away
