Have you shown signs of eye health improvement after adding more vitamins to your diet? If so, what has helped you the most? 💊✨

[michellesavic]

I am Canadian and was diagnosed with dry macular degeneration (or dominant drusen depending upon the ophthalmologist) in my right eye at age 19. I have been taking a multivitamin for eye health called Vitalux AND additional lutein and so far, my vision has been stable almost 3 decades later. I do not think you can buy this vitamin in the USA, but I am sure there must be something similar.
I really am enjoying your videos, thank you Dr. Rupa.

You’re a competent doctor, a nice woman, and from Hawaii. I subscribe instantly, un saluto dall’Italia!!🇮🇹

[australiasuh]

Thank you so much for this, Dr Rupa. I'll be scrutinising my vitamin supplement ingredient label right after this!

[ksairman]

Yes, I take fish oil at a dose of 2000 mg per day for dry eye and my symptoms have decreased 75%. I also have had both dry and wet md, and have taken AREDS 2. The remission of the MD actually happened with massive exercise outdoors and a significant change in diet. The exercise was more than trekking 6-10 miles per day.

So now that we know which vitamins need to be in proper formulation, are there any legit eye vitamin brands you would recommend? Thank you, Dr. Rupa!

Dr. Rupa
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule & sharing such useful information. I would like to request you to pls do a video on safety of using Cysteamine 5% creams (15 mins wash-off products)
e.g cyspera cream & all purpose cysteamine cream. Are these safe to be used around the eye area. Would this get absorbed through the thin undereye skin & end up into the eye structures. I hope you will upload this video soon. Thanks

Dr. Wong is there Eye drops that will help prevent cateracts? Or delay the onset of them. I have ITP....I take Promacta for it...side effect is cataracts...

[cherylmcnutt]

Is there a Supplement that helps dissolve floaters, or keep the vitreous fluid from coagulating in the first place?

[malp]

Hi Dr. Rupa, can you help me out with a question? I suffer from dry eyes and have been using eye drops for many years. The drops I use comes in tiny 8 ml vials. After use, I throw the vial away with the remaining liquid because on the packet it says that once a vial is opened and used it should be thrown out. But then a Chemist told me that the lid could be closed and whatever remains in the vial could be used for up to 9 hours and then discarded. Should I do as the chemist told me and reuse the vial after I open it? They are Non-preservative drops. Thank you. I enjoy watching your videos
