Just stop watching screen to prevent dry eyes😂

[@bcm416]

What if it happens during the day?

[@j20sti]

Finally a useful video

[@GaminTheVR]

Amazing!

[@danielsuarez6151]

What's your opinion on NAC eye drops for cataract prevention

[@shamimbano1694]

Hello sir, would you like to please help for stargardt eye disease's peoples. What should to do for stop or reverse this problem.

[@emirwhoelse760]

I don’t know if you’ll see this or not but I got new contacts and they’ve been loose almost should I go back to my eye doctor

[@gent1972]

I started using OptiMel manuka honey eye drops a year ago and I dont wake up with crusty stuff anymore.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thanks for commenting this. I have used those same drops and have liked them as well.

[@loisballentyne1667]

Thanks now I know what that is and what caused it or Dr eye guy Can you help me why are injections done in the eye for what cause

[@DrEyeGuy]

Usually when people are talking about injections in the eye, they are referring to a treatment for wet macular degeneration. There are other injections people can have for different reasons, but by far the most common is for wet ARMD.

[@MZmuda5]

Conjunctivitis?

[@dgh5760]

How do you get rid of and/or prevent eyelash mites?

[@DrEyeGuy]

I have a video planned for that, hopefully I will make it soon. Demodex mites can be tricky to get rid of. Keeping bedding and lids clean are important. Treatments can range from IPL, new rx drop called xdemvy, or tea tree oil.

[@Gengh13]

Getting rid of high oxalates foods in my diet fixed it for me, it only comes back if the previous day I eat too many oxalates.

[@maimahesh1614]

Please 🥺 how to stop it inam cannot go to out 😢 please any reason to stop it 🙏

[@High-Tech-Geek]

I don't get crust very often, but when I do (to the point I can't even open my eye and have to pull them apart with my fingers), I've always chalked it up to an excellent night's sleep, haha!

[@ThatUglyDuckling]

Why do I get them every morning for the past few days?

[@lailaalvescoelho5724]

What if the eye boogies comes with a viroses/flu? How to disguise it from bacterial conjuntivites ?

[@DrEyeGuy]

Great question! It can be tricky sometimes. The discharge can have a different appearance. But there are also some other signs that are different with viral infection. The type of redness and inflammation that is present can give it away. An eye doctor visit is recommended to know what diagnosis it is and what the proper treatment would be.

[@ankoo439]

I have been struggeling with dry eyes for a few months now, and I have noticed I have none of this stuff anymore. Not sure whats going on there. What is going on?

[@DrEyeGuy]

Meaning, you have less eye boogers now that your eyes are dry?

[@ankoo439]

@@DrEyeGuyYes. Pretty much nothing, even in the morning.

[@supertuscans9512]

I suffer from extreme sleepy dust every morning and have done so for at least 8 years. I wash my eyes regularly ( I have to) but what I don’t understand is this. I only suffer in the winter when the air is cold and my eyes will stream regularly when I’m outside. Why doesn’t this happen in the summer months?

[@DrEyeGuy]

Excellent Question! It would be hard to know exactly why, have you been to your eye doctor to get it checked? It is pretty common to have more dry eyes in the winter, that leads to watering sometimes. I go over it a little bit in this video 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoqWo6OCmaeof6M

[@supertuscans9512]

Thank you. I spoke to my Dr about it but he kind of brushed it off, telling me that this problem is remarkably common but eye drops would probably help. ( They don’t seem to do much if I’m honest so I’ve sort of given up on them. One thing that is interesting about this affliction is that in my case it’s almost certainly hereditary because I clearly remember my father having the exact same condition, so I’m probably stuck with it. I am going to try hot compresses and Omega 3 oil as a last attempt.

[@supertuscans9512]

I have just watched your other video which you linked. I’m going to try both the compress and eye compress you suggest maybe trying. One aspect of my affliction is that I suffer most extremely as stated in cold winter months . I live in a region with a typical temperate climate with high humidity in the winter. My problem doesn’t generally manifest inside but outside when the wind is blowing so the specialist glasses you recommend may be the solution ( I already wear blue screen protection lens glasses for computer work.) is the discount coupon offer still available for the glasses you suggest?

[@adbc1f72]

⁠@@supertuscans9512 I have dry eyes. It hasn’t rained in the region where I live in a while. When it finally did the damage was done so the fact that it’s fall going into winter doesn’t help either. There’s hardly any humidity in the air. Use a humidifier or turn on a diffuser with or without the oil and obviously with the water. I’ve done this and yes use eye drops and it’s started to ease up a bit.

[@DrEyeGuy]

@@supertuscans9512 unfortunately not, they just gave me a discount to use for small period of time.

[@user-lg7nk4lr2h]

is it okey to use my eye-drops after wash my eyes from boogers?

[@DrEyeGuy]

Yes, but I should have mentioned in the video that eye drops or eye gel can dry up over night and cause some dry crusting sometimes.

[@talksick508]

15 years of this every day! Swollen dark bags and dry mucus crusted eyes Sometimes it gets very bad Other times just dry and kill I have very dry eye :( sucks When I wake up too quick I actually get paper cut feeling in eyes Idk what’s going on anymore I use sprays clean eyes morning night Still continues … I have no oil or tears inside :(

[@hair99]

Buddy use some eyedrops

[@BOBA_TEA834]

I watched this video cause last night when i was sleeping by myslef i got eye boogers and my eyes were sticky so i tried opening then i did and when i looked in the mirror my eyelashes had a little bit of i boogers so i touched them and they were dry so i riped them and i was very scard and then i went to sleep with my family then i had too much eye boogers then my mom had to clean them she put water and salt and got in the bathroom to get the circle nackins them she cleaned it cause it was sticky Which part was scary or sad commet here 👇

[@brittca]

I get this every single night. So bad that I wake up with dry eyes. I use a humidifier, take omega 3’s yet… it still happens. Any thoughts?

[@Andyluv05]

Is this eye boogers permanent

[@celineeee.stayyy]

Yes, and no It will always come very night when u wake up And then u can reduce it but can’t get rid

[@Da_Great78]

Great question?

[@AustinC-lc9os]

I hate eye boogers

[@akecskemekkent1et]

Docktor! At first glance: Youre skin is verry red, you have skin problem, maybe Dry Eye is skin Problem too :)

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thanks for the concern. Dry Eye can be related to skin problems.
