Cure Dry Eyes Permanently? | Is There A Cure For Dry Eye? | An Eye Doctor Weighs In on Dry Eyes Cure

Depressing when you know all you can afford is a heat mask, eye wash and drops, in the way of treatment... my insurance covers nothing but the visit, sadly. I think mine started during menopause.

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

I have a video coming up about treating dry eye on a budget. But you’re right- if insurance won’t cover it really limits options. Have you looked into patient assistance foundations?

[@betzib8021]

One thing I've found that helps a lot is tinted windows. UV rays coming through the windows when you're driving really makes things worse. The tint + sunglasses..plus UV blocking car visor really helps. I got a doc prescription for darker than usual tint.

Have you ever had a patient whose eyes don’t close all the way when sleeping. I’ve only been told to tape them shut (sacrifice eyelashes) or use press and seal. Just got the ok from my doctor (autoimmune disease)to get back on my Retin A but I know your thoughts on that. I’d like to use at least a retinol but how would I keep it out of my eyes that don’t close? I’ve also had glaucoma (since age 32) and have the beginning of macular degeneration. But I hate my crinkled under-eyes. Any treatment possible?

[@Dawton18]

I’m 33 years old and mine started almost a year ago. It took an optometrist 6 visits before I said “enough “ and went to an ophthalmologist who specializes in Lasix. He told me to try warm compress , preservative free drops and fish oil. I’ve probably tried every drop on the market to no avail. I am miserable. My eyes randomly sting and water through out the day and in the morning when I wake up, they are so dry I can hardly blink. At least 2 times a month I get conjunctivitis, I assume with crusting and a bloodshot red eye. I cant wear contacts past 4 hours or they become so blurry they don’t serve a purpose, which is kind of how I’m feeling. Never thought something like this would drive me into a deep depression.

[@FedericaCampanelli-r6e]

Hi 🤍 lately I am having dry eyes. I feel my eyes dry at night you should try an ‘ unguentò’ in Italian ( I don’t know in English’. Don’t focus on how it makes you feel, focus on how you can fix the problem. Try all of the remedies you find on KZbin but change even your routines , your diets. Today I realised even that I have to change some stuff but it doesn’t mean it isn’t temporary. A positive mind it is a healthy body that can help. Smile and be gratitude. You are achieving what you want you have only to undestand it. Good luck 🤍

I just noticed the eye gel/ointment I’ve been using ha retinol in it 😅😅 can you comment?? It’s Hylo night eye ointment 💔

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

Ok so here's t he thing......retinol/vitamin A derivatives are really good for the cornea while simultaneously being not great for the meibomian glands. So it probably depends what you're treating...do you have persistent corneal defect issues like RCE or EBMD or more meibomian gland issues from rosacea? Either way, it's just important that someone is monitoring...you may NEED hylo products because they help your cornea, we just want to make sure it isn't at the expense of your meibomian glands

Hi Dr D! Please would you do a video on chalazions and how they are treated from home remedies through to surgery? My eyecare provider has recommended hot compress mask, which I do religiously but I think my (large) lump has been there too long to melt properly, and it's partly tucked away under my brow bone so it's hard to get the heat to. I feel a bit afraid of surgery because I don't know much about it, so I hope you can help. Apologies if you've already done this and I just haven't seen it...

I’m desperate to find out what is going on with my eyes. I’m told is dry eye by my optometrist but it literally happen overnight after an eyelid infection in my right eye that she said was a stye. Before that I had no issues at all with my eye and now I’m waking up to red, dry and sometimes burning eyes in the morning, I’m constantly applying drops, doing compresses, drinking water like a fish and I seem to not get any relief.

Hi Dr! What are your thought on meibomian gland probing? Is it safe for the glands? Also what is better.. Expression vs probing or both together?

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

ahhh, good question! i don't personally probe glands. i have seen such good results with IPL + expression that I have not felt the need. BUT, there is one recent study showing great results with IPL + probing so this is definitely on my radar and I am considering using it in clinic. I have concerns about the safety but in trained experienced hands that are used to manipulating/expressing the MG's I think the safety profile is reasonable.

Probing definitely helped initially and cauterization of tear ducts. Then I started my IPL journey last year and have had 9 IPL (full eye with shields). Started with TBUT of 9 and I am still at 9/10. I thought IPL was going to be the icing but I have had no noticeable change to my symptoms. I also had conjunctivochalasis repair and 3 RF treatments.
