The BEST Dry Eye Treatment at Home? - NuLids Dry Eye Device Review

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Have you tried the NuLids device? What dry eye treatments have worked for you?

[@i.e.presents638]

I got a natural eyewash a friend recommended years ago, with an eye cup, I felt like a new woman! I ran out a year later and have not been able to find it since. Cannot even recall the name or brand. So frustrating. Even worse, I see absolutely no eyelashes with more natural ingredients on the market.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

@@i.e.presents638 Interesting..hmmm. Wish I had an idea. I do have a glass eye cup though, its older and my grandparents left it to me when they passed.

[@joycependleton589]

I have this and it has helped my dry eyes so much that I don’t have to use it every day. I don’t need eye drops as much as I used to. I use the EyeLove products as well.

[@christoszikas6932]

I just ordered it, thank you. I hope it works, for I have severe gland atrophy (80% of the lower right lid, 70% of the lower left, 35% of the upper right, 30% of the upper left) and I feel as if my life is ruined, especially as I work as a software developer. Is there any hope? I did a full cycle of IPL and soon will start the fitting process for sclerals.

[@MissLeontine]

If it had not been so expensive I had bought one right away... :/ I use an eye massager bought on amazon. It has heat (40-45 degrees celcius, u can regulate it), vibration(feels soft - enough to stimulate the meibomian glands? maybe...) and IR(I don't use that myself). I have not tried this Nulids so I can't compare, but I do feel a relief directly after using it (only had it a couple of weeks so long term improvement i do not know). I really like the heat feature, as it is kind of hard to have time to do the massage (I do the one you have in one video - thank you for that! :) ) after a heat treatment (I use Blephasteam instead of warm compresses) before the skin gets cold again. It is a lot cheaper and has a metal tip so i just disinfect it and wash it off after use. It of course do not have the same scientific ground... and not the cleaning scrub effect you describe. Unfortunately swedish doctors don't seem to assesses the cause of the dry eye unless u go to a private clinic and pay for it yourself, so I don't know why my eyes are dry, that is a problem. I feel the problem may have been there a little before, but after one eye infection(almost one year ago) and several treatments with antibiotics later (at this point I am not sure the doctors treated the right thing - they saw red/irritated eyes and gave me antibiotics - but maybe that was just dry eyes most of the time when I felt the antibiotics didnt help much...), so I am thinking maybe the antibiotics worsened this dry eyes symptom. Is that something you recognize from patiens?

@@joselinemartin873 years. I was one of the first to try it. The biggest con is the cost. It’s $1 per tip and you have to dispose of it after use. But I used to use 5 or more vials a day of eye drops so I guess it’s a wash cost wise. Hassle wise, no choice. I do it once a day and use drops once in maybe a month depending on environment.

[@GemilyMez]

This sounds really interesting, but I am shocked the tips are meant to be disposable despite being made from silicon! If the tips are silicon, couldn't they just be boiled and reused? Silicon is even worse at breaking down than plastic. The need to keep repurchasing new tips, despite them being made of silicon, seems like a bit of a ploy to keep making ongoing money after purchase on the part of NuLids - everything is subscription these days, and this is another iteration of that. If a silicon menstrual cup can be boiled and reused, and that is involved in some serious bodily fluid, then surely these tips that have been on your eyelids could be sanitised too. If I were to purchase this, I would for sure just save the tips and have a weekly or monthly boiling sesh to sterilise them. Just to clarify - my little rant was just at NuLids designing this product to have this wasteful element. I found your video really interesting. Thank you.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

I completely agree with you (I didnt even think of it as a rant lol) So many things in medicine and even more recently, everything has some sort of built in obsolescence. I can only imagine in a few years new cars will charge you 10 dollars to turn the engine on (conveniently charged wireless through your phone to your credit card). As some sort of "safety" measure. I am sure there is a way to clean them, although I dont think I can legally give advise on that. (btw my wife uses the silicone menstrual cup and she says it is a game changer)

[@kencarpenter1363]

@@DoctorEyeHealth How about soaking in a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution? Since the tip is silicone, the HP shouldn't hurt it.

I wonder it that would work with this device.

I've been using warm compresses on my eyes for years and it makes a world of difference. The give-away was noticing that my dry eyes were worse in the winter. The warmth of a folded washcloth soaked in comfortably hot water (for about 5-8 minutes) and resting with eyes closed makes my eyes much more comfortable, requiring only rare drops. It's a useful side benefit to have a reason to just stop for a short rest.

I do heat and massage twice a day (I can't seem to go long with once a day) It takes a good 30 minutes to get that all done. I was thinking it was too expensive but I just paid $7000 for hearing aids so now it doesn't seem so expensive.

Doctor you have ocular rosacea. I can see spider veins on your upper eyelids and a little redness. IPL should beable to vaporise the veins that are taking up space and causing inflammation. I have booked for my first IPL treatment next week.

Hi, in August of ‘22 I had cataract surgery with Lasik 6 was later due to my vision still being bad! Doc put in permanent plugs to my lower tear ducks cause tears drained all out! Can I use this with the plugs in?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Thats a good question, I do not think it would be a problem but best to ask your local doctor or surgeon if they have any concerns. How is your vision now? after the surgeries and all.

What are the best contact lenses for dry eye with meibomian gland dysfunction?

Dr.Mike: I see I have competition

[@davidadams8546]

What do you think of Eye Wand as an inexpensive($30 at Amazon) alternative to Nulids? It has the same mechanism of action, but with vibration instead of a rotary grinding action. And it has very high ratings for treatment of MGD.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Oh wow I have never heard of that one! I will check it out. I imagine it may help but without any studies i can’t really know

[@sandyj1952]

I bought this after I saw your comment, it’s just like I believe the Australian one and I put Occusoft on it, trying not to go the $300 plus tips gadgets. If you want a cheaper dupe without tips and cleaning with good old alcohol try the $30 one. So far I think the $30 one same results .

[@davidadams8546]

@@sandyj1952 I also bought one of these and use Ocusoft as the lubricant. It seems to be identical to the much more expensive Peeps (UK) brand, which has very highly rated user feedback for MGD..My only MGD symptom is blurred vision, and after a month's use, this has significantly improved.

[@lesliewhite1586]

This was very interesting. I recently watched an interview with Dr. Steven Maskin out of Tampa, FL, who does a probe of the meibomian glands. Could you please do a review of this procedure and/or have him on for an interview?

[@scoutdixie4412]

I had that done in Boston by Dr Foster. Worked for me for about 7 months. Was going to have procedure again and found out they do not do it anymore. They bought a lipiflow machine, $1200 not covered by insurance. The probing was covered. Unfortunately, I have not found anyone else who does it. It was the one thing that gave me noticeable improvement and it provided a decrease in fullness/swelling. Good luck!

I like how he always say to reach your local eye care professional, meanwhile every one I visited didn't know about half of the things he's saying.

I agree with other people's comments that this device is priced extremely expensively! In fact I would say that the people making it are actually greedy! Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about whether it works or not, it probably does. That is not the point at all! The point is, it probably only costs the manufacturer about $100 to make this thing! IF THAT! It's basically an electric toothbrush with an LED! The manufacturer is just plain greedy! *And then to try to influence you to buy a brand-new tip every day, I find, is ridiculous and offensive! $330 for the device! $365/year for the tips! Even if this works, the price is offensive!*

[@alwayswinning3743]

You recommended this to me. I've done a little research - why this thing so damn expensive? I'm in Sydney Aus seems to be around $500 ish

[@SluggishDuck]

Can i use this even if i have Keratoconus ? @Doctor Eye Health

[@danielcarbone2414]

I'm curious how this works without heat? If your meibomian glands are waxy/solidified, surely you'd need to hot compress before stimulating them with a device like this would benefit, no?

[@retrogal1622]

Does this heat up as you’re using it? Would it be best to do hot compresses before using it so that glands will activate?

I have this question too!

Hello friend what that thing called and how much are they

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Hey Paul! It is called a NuLids Dry Eye Device and the price is often in the 250 USD range, but can sometimes be found on sale.

[@sarje1970]

How does this benefit more than just rubbing the foam back and forth with your finger?

I have been dealing with dry eyes and blepharitis for about 4 months now and it's been frustrating. I have used so many different drops, gels, eye mask and my eyes are still so irritated. I'm more into natural stuff. Spent so much money on everything that was recommended to me and still not having much relief. Does Nulids really work?

Dear Doctor Eye Health and subscribeRs, If you’re still using the NuLids machine after a year now, do you still see Improvement in your dry eyes or any other changes? I’ve just seen this and am thinking of purchasing it but it is expensive so I research it. Thanks for you help in advance.

[@elcajon6313]

Is that device good to prevent & treat chalazion?

[@relfyem]

Dry eye medications must be so expensive in the States to regard $300, (plus buying replacement silicon tips), to be a saving on them. I'm in the UK and find this prohibitively expensive but we are spoiled by having the NHS. I wonder why it's so dear?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

One of the reasons ( I have been told) is that the price of medications in the USA off balance the low prices in many other low income countries where pharma companies make very little ( but who knows if that is true, it could also just be greed)
