• Eye strain
• Light-sensitive eyes  
• Burning eyes
• Irritated eyes
• Feeling like you have sand in your eyes 
• Watery eyes 
• Bloodshot or red eyes

A B2 deficiency is the #1 vitamin deficiency that can cause these problems with the eyes. 

Other symptoms of a vitamin B2 deficiency can include a sore throat, cracked lips, and a red tongue. You may also experience migraines or headaches behind your eyes if you're deficient in vitamin B2.

Foods rich in vitamin B2:
• Liver and other organ meats
• Meat 
• Eggs
• Fish

• Green vegetables 
• Nutritional yeast 
• Brewer's yeast 

Causes of a vitamin B2 deficiency:

The fact that we get free medical videos on YouTube by Dr. Berg is truly a gift. 👏🏻

Tiredness/headache behind the eyes caused me to go to optician once and their diagnosis was eyes are perfect, but your chronic screen use at work and then at home as well as lack of sleep are causing your issue. Get two weeks of good sleep and reduce your hours behind a screen as well as adding in appropriate breaks and you will relieve the pain. It worked.
On a side note:- one good health and safety poster I saw for screen use read “Every 20minutes, look at something at least 20feet away for at least 20seconds”. It definitely aids relaxation of the eyes.

what is rarely mentioned regarding the intake of vitamins, minerals etc - no matter which form - is the fact that your intestines have to work properly to actually be able to exploit and absorb these vital substances. if they don´t - and that is very often the case - you can shower yourself with all the stuff, it just doesn´t really get utilized.
in this way a constant deficiency is kept including the specific symptoms ... .
which means: a well-working metabolism/digestion always comes first.

Amazing that I've had horrible photophobia for the past week and then you release this video. Looks like I'm having a lot of liver, raw milk and nutritional yeast for the weekend.

Dr. Berg,
This video couldn't have come at a better time. I am currently experiencing everyone of these symptoms you've described with my eyes.
I've tried the "get the red out" brand of eye drops, and those just make my eyes more irritable, burn, and offer no relief. I will add B2 to my daily supplements.
Thank You for all of your informatable videos.
My health, and how I feel have never been better!

[brooke.haelin]

I’ve been trying to figure out why my eyes randomly start burning for YEARS. This is so amazing thank you so much for cranking out these videos!!

[KarisGoogle]

I really don’t understand how you’re reading my mind but you’ve done it again!
Definitely appreciate this one!!

Speaking of the eyes, friendly reminder to anyone out there that Myopia is reversible, you basically have to walk OUTSIDE in broad daylight without your glasses, or sit down at a park bench, etc... Focus on objects FAR AWAY, that's how you slowly released the "knots" in your eye muscles (muscles being cramped and locked due to focusing only in nearby objects for weeks)

Thank you so much Dr Berg for another enlightening talk on eye health. Always looking forward to your latest information. Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit and lemons contain vitamin c, another antioxidant that may help keep our eyes healthy.

I have the issues the housewife had in that study, in the 2nd link. gritty, sore eyes, periodic blurry vision. Dry eyes also. I’ll check about addingB2 to my diet. Thanks, Doc! You are always giving us such great tips! 🤩👏🏻💯✅

[TRUSTinJESUS.FOREVER]

Absolutely LOVE this video, Thank you so much Doctor for sharing this information and making it easily available!!!
Finally a video on this very hard to find subject! It wasn't easy finding the answer to this problem even 4 years ago when I was desperately looking for the solution and found it by many days of searching through countless pub meds and such. God bless you, I'm sure it will help many!
Maybe someone can also be helped or encouraged to PAY ATTENTION by reading this experience:
My patient, best friend and brother had this deficiency with the bloodshot eyes and also 7 various skin fungal problems triggered by lack of b2, like mattering eyes, blotches on the face plus 5 more different fungals over various other parts of the body, and yeast overgrowth in the digestive system -that seemed to make him somewhat PSYCHOTIC after the majority of the things he ate, getting psychotic almost every meal depending on what he ate). Caused largely from a severe lack of good gut microbes/ probiotics (from being given so many antibiotics over the course of his life and not knowing to replenish them each time with a good probiotic).
It greatly helped relieve his symptoms to take vitamin B2 supplement several times a day along with B1 HCl since he was having absorption issues of the gut.

I tried hard to help him for 4 years, but so often he would fall off "the recovery wagon" so to speak and go on sugar and white flour binges which feeds yeast and other bad gut flora, and triggers more inflammation .

He became more serious about trying to help himself a little bit too late and passed on two weeks later at age 44 in the hospital (before really getting another chance to do something about it), from nutrient deficiency complications (including B1 deficiency), that caused him to be too sensitive to the hospitals medications and go into A-fib and respiratory failure even though he was not sick with any other pathogenic/germ related disease. So sad to see someone go who could have possibly been helped so simply, and recovered and lived had they took their health serious enough while they still have the opportunity to do what is necessary to get well. This doesn't have to be us!!!

I have a suggestion Dr. Eric. First thank you for everything you taught us all this years. My suggestion is to revert your board, like you make the background black and the writing white. I usually watch your videos in bed on my TV and the board is too bright to the point I avoid looking. Thank you so much again I learned alot from watching your videos!!!

I like almonds. They are also a good source of b2, as well as boron, magnesium and copper.

[neglected_vices]

One of the most informative channels on YouTube. What better than ideas on how to better our diet and health. Thank you Dr. Berg, we love you & appreciate you. 🇨🇦

[pattiprosperoella]

Love the shorts packed with a good amount of info. VERY much appreciated ☺ 🙏 👍 👏

[小甜豆-bc]

I have been suffering from sensitive eyes.Thanks for your popularizing science that is what I need now!

[maryj]

This is how you describe my eyes looks like literally. Thank you Doc for sharing this amazing information.

[cultofaction]

My eyes have dried out easily for as long as I can remember. I've been eating a Vince Gironda inspired diet for the last ~2 months, which includes a dozen or more eggs a day and a handful of desiccated beef liver tablets every few hours. The health improvements I've seen have been staggering. Here's just some of what I've seen:

* The acne that I've dealt with for more than a decade has been drastically reduced (I credit this to the high concentration of activated vitamin A)
* My skin is less dry than it was previously
* My eyes are never dry or red (I suppose this one is the B2!)
* My energy levels are more stable throughout the day than they were previously (lots of B vitamins and a high fat diet keeping blood sugar stable are probably the causes here)
* Faster recovery from weightlifting

I was already eating a clean diet with plenty of meatminimal sugar before I started, too. I hope my anecdote is helpful.

[Divine_Peace]

Dr. Berg can you please tell us what vitamins you take? The names of them because I want to make sure I'm taking the right ones. 😊😊
