This video isn’t working 😢 all it shows is 1:51 of a black screen. Is there any way you can upload it again? I’m a vegetarian with dry eye and would love to watch this!

[maddisonharder]

Did you mean to have all the empty black space at the end? You can trim that in the Youtube editor.

Fish do not naturally produce omega-3; they acquire it through their diet, primarily by consuming algae. Vegan omega-3 is considered safer because algae are cultivated in controlled environments outside the ocean and tested for heavy metal contamination. There are many vegan omega-3 supplements with high EPA and DHA content.

I'm sharing this for informational purposes. ❤

My friend was vegan but fell off. Im vegetarian. He loves his supplements these days..

[MariArtJourney]

Strange, I can’t watch the video, it appears all black 😕

[stigabe]

Wow thank you for doing this, that is very important. Thank you

[d.sluder]

Algae based has to be as good as or better than fish oil since fish eat the algae, so why not get your omegas directly from the source rather than second hand? How do you call the direct source a substitute? It's the other way around imo...fish oil is the substitute!

[jimnicosia]

I wish that I was half as smart as this guy. I guess that's why he's a doctor and I'm not.

I was taking regular omega 3s for a couple months started to have heart palpitations..stopped taking it. I’ve read in some cases high dose omega 3s can cause afib..wondering if algae based omega 3s do the same?

[Null-rs]

After just being made aware that I have dry eye, I soon acquired allergies (cats, grasses).
IMHO, allergies cause worse suffering. Count blessings.

Is it safe to use soft scleral lenses for high astigmatism without getting professionally fitted by an eye doctor?

My mum and sis are taking Chia Seeds ( ground powder) 1 tsp daily. Is good for dry eyes?

The body is very complex and requires many components, minerals, vitamins, proteins, we must be hydrated with the right electrolyte balance. We need to exercise to keep the blood moving so it can reach every area of the body so it can heal properly.
Not easy.

[theclassroomdoc]

You didn't mention that the fish oil you used was an atypical rTC (I saw it on the label) which means a reconstituted triglyceride form which for those who don't know may have superior bioavailability to the more common ester form. You can google for more info! :)

I want to take algal oil omega 3 for a blood clot at the back of eye, recently diagnosed by eye doctor. Any advice for this, doc?

[Arigatosan]

I am 19 years old and i have myopia of -1.5 -1.25 cyl -0.25 -0.25 so im currently studying computer science engineering and after graduation i have to work 9-10hrs a day infront of screen ..so my question is should i pursue in this field or should i change after graduation..i cant focus properly because of the fear of myopia progression and further things

[edjackon]

Can you please make a video how to monitor our dry eyes at home? How can we get such machines? This would be so useful to know what is working and not.

[springscoming]

What app did you use to keep track of your dry eye symptoms? I would like to have something like that to track my symptoms
