Gotta tell y’all..my husband recently bought a tiny convertible sports car…and after half-way thru our first extended ride out in the country….my eyes were a mess!! Even though I wear heavy duty wrap-around old lady sunglasses, the wind factor whipped the fluids right out of my eyes! Luckily I had generic drops with me, but had to spend most of the ride home with eyes closed and not enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery (oh, what greenery!) So - lesson learned!

[@okonspruce]

After cataract surgery on both eyes in 2021, I've had dry eyes for 2 years; itchy, watery & poor vision. Nothing helped until I tried Systane Complete PF - all good now, no more dry eyes! I also take Omega 3 each day but it was the Systane that really made the difference, truly amazing. Great video, very informative. Thank you.

More online docs are beginning to remedy this, and your demonstrations and recommendations are some of the best. Many thanks!

Many, many thanks to you, Dr Chua! I followed your video, I applied your guidelines and my dry eyes syndrome is much better now. I'm from Europe and I appreciate it as being better medical advice than in my country even from an oftalmologie hospital. My syndrome was very severe, it took a few months to be better. Now I can read books again as it is my passion. Indeed Systane, the mask twice daily and the massage only in the evening work fantastic. I use 3 different types of drops plus an oftalmologic cream with vit A in the evening after the mask and the massage and in the morning (but in a smaller quantity and without massage). The nr of drops application dropped from 20 times daily to 5-6 times. God bless you!

[@ellenkutcher1870]

Ok I would like to report to everyone and the doctor that I received my aroma season eye warming device. I started using it on the next to the highest setting which they do not give you the temperature for. I’m gonna have to call the company to find out that warm but not too hot 10 minutes. I used it three days in a row once a day. The reason I did 10 minutes was because I wanted to see if using it for less time would give me a result. Well, it certainly did.! it’s been a week since then and I’m not using it and my eyes are perfect ! No running , no redness, no discomfort. I’m waiting to see how long I can go without repeating the heating and massage. So it took less time for me to be able to heal my eye for now because as we know dry eye can come and go. very happy and could not get this help for two years from my own eye doctor or anyone else that was in the practice thank goodness for people who take the time to put their knowledge out for the rest of us.!!! I will report back to let people know if it comes back but now I know if it does that I have a protocol to follow that’s effective and fast thank you again!!!

I just ordered the iTear device. My eye doctor wrote an Rx for me. It’s arriving in a couple of days and I pray it will work for me. It increases tear production by stimulating a nerve for 30 seconds (on each side of the nose) twice a day.

[@aprildegele1510]

This was extremely helpful! I have had my puncts dilated in the past for my dry eye. That helped for a long while. On my last appointment earlier this month, my doc kind of ignored that. I'm not sure why. However, what we did address is something that looked like a pimple on the inner, lower lid of my left eye, which I thought was going to be a stye, but never matured. My left eye is chronically dry and irritated. On eval, he said it was a plugged Meibomian gland. Recommended warm packs, but because I am a retired ER nurse and understand how warm compresses work on such things, I didn't ask for the details. I expected that it would bust open eventually, but it hasn't. He didn't tell me about the massaging. THAT will change things a lot. I use Systane and have for several years. You wouldn't think there would be much difference between eye drops, name brand or generic with the same ingredients, but there is. I've found it to be the best. I've not tried the one you suggest though, and I think I will. You call it affordable, but that's relative. At most pharmacies, it's over $15 a bottle. You can get a generic version for much less ... but I've not found (yet) a generic version of the drops you suggest. I have Systane gel, as well as a version of lacrilube (my husband's because he has a tendency to sleep with his eyes slightly open), but those aren't practical for mid-day use unless you have an hour or so that you don't have to do anything. Leaves a film that, although gloriously comfortable, renders good vision moot until it disperses. Have you made a video about punct dilation? Genetically, I have very small ones, as does my sister. Is there some way to keep them clear and working without them having to be dilated? Hasn't been a problem until we were just over 40.

I have some horrendous dry eye symptoms. I tried washing my eyes with diluted baby shampoo but it a dried my lids and lashes out making a itching and symptoms worse. I have found that collodial oatmeal well rubbed into a soft damp washcloth works well to clean my eyes without drying my lids and lashes out. I have since discovered Garnier micellar water with glycerin and rosewater. It is also a good in between washes way to get rid of grit and dirt on the eyelids and lashes. Please note: this product is not meant to be used in the eyes. I use Refresh liquigel and Refresh gel drops they give better release than most eye drops. Both of these drops are much less expensive on Amazon. Blue light blocking glasses help me when I have to expose my eyes to light. I use a humidifier. Unfortunately I have had to give up reading and TV and limit my phone exposure severely. I hope this information can help somebody.

I've had dry eye for many years. I used to use restasis, but when I started a new job my new insurance wouldn't approve restasis (which costs about $400/mo.). I use Systane and tried using the new eyedrop bottle, but I was unable to squeeze the bottle to get even one drop out. I gave up after several tries. I use the individual vials, even though it's a waste. I also use a humidifier in my bedroom. I don't have this problem when I visit my mom in Florida which is very high humidity.

Optase has been best OTC for me. Definitely PF. Stay away from preservatives and especially BAK. Read labels. I personally can’t use retinol, very limited skincare and no makeup on eye’s especially. At my age I need something. Because of all of this craziness, my self esteem is on the ground. Watch all eye clinics. Now most are including aesthetics in their practices. Very costly. Be mindful of EVERYTHING you use on your face. In my case, it hurts in every way. Education is key and you have to be your own advocate for your self. I’m finding this in all areas of medicine.

I'm having dry eyes for the last few months. It's getting better now. None of the eye drops (Systane, homeopathy) worked for me. It's in the nutrition- Omega 3's & 6's. I ate cage free 10 eggs made with butter every week for few weeks. Also, consumed sesame seeds & hot cocoa every day. Blurriness is going away. You will have to give few weeks before you see the effects of nutritional foods.

Hens are left outside so they have access to natural foods plus freedom makes them happy. Happy means healthy.. congested barns can make them sick.

Thank you, Dr Chua, for this very helpful information. I have a question, how many times the heat and massage procedure on the meibomian glands needs to be done to have stable results or it needs to be done for the rest of my life? My second question is, is it true that retinol creams when applied on eye lids can damage meibomian glands? Many thanks again, I subscribed to your channel and looking forward to seeing more of your informative and helpful videos 😊

Dr. Michael gave more detail explanation regarding the heat and message procedure in another video. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ6wnZujYpqsbMk

Great info. Doctor, would you consider doing a video on blepharitis?

[@medhikasingh6327]

do you get any reflex tears in dry eyes? Like while crying or cutting onion?

The only thing I don't understand is how does the solution form the three layers over the eye if it has been mixed? I assume they also use some emulsifier to make the oil and water mix, so it's difficult for me to visualise the mechanics of action. But finally, Systane Complete is available to buy in the UK, and I started using it. Hopefully, it will bring some relief!
