Dry Eye 2: Diagnosis and Treatment

[@cbeyedr]

Igor, part of the reason this video is kind of long is that there are multiple possible causes of what feels like dry eye. For example, lid inflammation, corneal surface disease and oil gland dysfunction. These often respond to simple measures. Also, some medications are drying. If dryness is strictly from reduced production of the watery part of tears then, unfortunately, the there isn't a way to increase that. However, there are artificial tears, plugs and other options.

The best information! Thank you. I have had this condition for almost 2 years. My eye doctor examined me and told me to blink more. Now I realize I need to attack this condition with persistence and optimism. It began during weeks of smoky bad air, then only improved now and then.

[@TASIAawful1]

This was a great explanation thank you now I know why I have occasional blurred vision and have to blink the film away from my eye

[@cbeyedr]

A range of possibilities for each item. Can't say specifically without seeing it. If it is a persistent problem you may want to check in with your eye doctor.

The oculoplastic surgeon who addressed various issues related to my dry eye problems: insufficient lipid layer in tears, ectropion, lagophthalmus, exophthalmus, ocular rosacea, thyroid eye disease, blepharitis. Some of these were treated with surgery. He inserted plugs in the punctae, but they came out easily and were uncomfortable. As a last resort, he cauterized the lower punctae to close them permanently. (That was the most painful procedure I have ever experienced, because he had to inject Lidocaine in my lower eyelids.) He prescribed Restasis, which is incredibly expensive. I tried it for longer than a year, hoping it would eventually help, but it just made my eyes redder and more painful. I was glad when we stopped my using it. I use Systane drops without preservative when needed, and I should use it more often. Thank you for the clear and fascinating videos!

How many times a day should you massage the glands? How many times a day should you wash the lids where the oil clogs?

Where can i find someone like you in NY.Iam not getting any help where i live.

I’m having my 6th surgery Thursday. I’ve been having this problem for almost 4 years now. I have switched doctors so hopefully this one can help me. One of the surgeries left me with double vision so I had to have strabismus surgery. I’m really suffering from this. It has really affected my vision. Driving,I have to one eye it. No golfing, quilting etc’. I have a Lester Jones tube in my eye now that has dislodged itself. I’ve had stints and tubes and nothing has helped me

[@elcochino6]

I have found warm compresses to be the best for my dry eye. Most videos on youtube suggest using a hot washcloth - this never worked for me. I now use an EyeWarmer dry eye compress which helps drastically. Along with the compresses twice a day (5 min) I have been taking a dry eye fish oil product called dry eye omega benefits from physician recommended nutraceuticals. Google these products if you have dry eye, they may help you too!

[@TheKaren3344]

I feel heaviness in eyes and difficulty while blinking eyes,my opthalmologist says i am suffering from dryeyes and has given eyedrops named carboxymetyhylcellulose eye dropsIP0.5%.I use this drop 6 times a day but o am still facing facing the same problem, the heaviness and discomfort persists throughtout day.I would be thankful if you can suggest a solution.

[@yrv2016]

Manisha Chataut Hi there! I have been facing a similiar dry eyes problem for years and still looking for a solution...could u please give me any information that you have regarding this...much appreciated...thanks..

[@keitheliel8516]

+Yuva V I think before putting those eye drops you need first to eat organic foods rich in Vitamin A/Betacarotene and wear glasses while reading on pc/book. you will find a great change after a week or five days. Thanks me later

[@yrv2016]

+Keith Eliel Thank you very much for your time...will thank u again later :)

[@keitheliel8516]

Yuva V you're welcome, also ask your pharmacist/druggist if you can use Hypromellose and if the symptom persists though,there is a better product called Systane. It lasts much longer it's definitely worth extra pound you pay for. And try to blink often and find glasses while you'r on pc / sun glasses if it's too warm where you are(Australia for instance ) and use the food i told you but be aware for banana for a while and relax don't panic we've all been there! beside what everyone says about the eyes, most of time they are caused by excessive vitamins for one part and deficit to another side so you need to increase betacarotene and do what i recommended i hope you will see a remarkable change. here are some foods rich in betacarotene : www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/natural-food-sources-of-beta-carotene.php your eyes will turn whiter and feel comfortable. I hope to hear from you with a good result. Good night!

[@gregdahlen4375]

one thing that has helped my dry eye is living on milk, for six or seven years now I have been living on milk, about two gallons of cow skim milk a day and really hardly eating or drinking anything else. I think the diet might help other eye diseases as well, plus possibly many diseases like cancer, AIDS, heart disease, and so on. I have had many conversations with the government and with private researchers to try to convince them to test the proposition.

[@reinemazidath5466]

Dont listen to him . Too much milk will only get you a cancer .

[@gregdahlen4375]

***** It helps me, Boo. A lot. But it only helps me if I make it a huge amount of my diet, like more than 90%.

[@gregdahlen4375]
