Really appreciate your videos! Can you please talk about Optimel Manuka Honey Eye Drops? They're often mentioned in dry eye groups as a treatment for dry eye. I wish you practiced in my State!

Another great video Dr D. Thank you :) I've been looking at some expensive drops for dry eye that say they contain Omega-3. Is this beneficial, or just another way to get us to part with our money?

Hi there I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I use to use retinol around my eyes but don’t anymore. I’ve always had dry eye even before retinol. Honestly I’ve only used retinol like 4 times lol but my doctor never told me about mibomian gland dysfunction just that I had dry eye. I have a question too, can you use rosehip oil around your eyes? Thanks for your videos 🙏

Hello doctor. It’s been a month my left eye turns red(its just the left part of left eye not the whole whitish part) and then next day it’s normal again. After 2 days the redness come back. There’s no pain, no itchyness, no watery eyes nothing. Please help me out. When i apply ice the redness go away. I have tried few eye drops too but they aren’t helpfull. Thank you.

Hi dr, I take 1 teaspoon of liver cod oil and it says that the nutrients have omega and vitamin A, is that ok to take or will cause the same problem? Or should I avoid it? Thanks for you answer.
