In this video we cover a wide variety of eye care questions but one of the biggest is around vitamin c benefits for the body and how vitamin c supplements benefits the eyes. Eye vitamins often have vitamin c in them for their nutrition benefits for fighting oxidation.

What is eye health related topic you would like to know more about?

[katelynbrasher]

Is there any vitamins that can help with the prevention of glaucoma?

[MUSTAFA_BAKI]

Hey Doc., I appreciated what you did, enlightening us who do not have the right information about eyes. I really thank you!

[ishanjaved]

Its spinach good for eyes ?
When i eat spinach like 2 time continuous 2 days i see better and floaters create less trouble.

[shannonfogarty]

Please do a video on your thoughts with eye floaters and the eye condition of blepheritis

[anncarollezama]

God bless you for giving us this info

[Victor-tldk]

Lol my room has never been clean, but I'm almost crazy with sanitation when I put my contact lenses in.

It's a pretty good average rule of thumb though.

[pizzagirl]

I heard vitamin C could reduce scarring in the eye, if you have it from things like abrasion, etc

[stacypolk]

I'm a former smoker and after listening to Dr. Berg was ready to run out and get some Vit. A for my cataracts and floaters to see if it helps. Thank you for mentioning Vit. A being a cancer risk for former and current smokers. I will not supplement with it now.

[traceyryder]

I had a botched lower eye surgery, where he actually cut the outter corners of my eyes, plus he did an unconcented upper bleph, since surgery, I have been going through severe dry eye disease, it's debilitating!
I have not left my home in 2 years, I have had lipiflow, but its not working, should I get another treatment? Plus I now have to go to to a reconstructive oculoplastic surgeon, because my eyes don't close at night, so I'm taping them closed.... its soo bad, I actually thought of ending things..but I'm a Christian so I can't, but I have no life, , ,

[maissadeguiche]

thank you doctor watching from Algeria

[OurNomadicStory]

You did a great job on the Q&A style video. Question: Do you have any advice for the nomad community about getting eye care, eye care products, and prescription items like glasses & contacts? Another way to look at it is how can you get eye care on the road? Nomads are usually traveling a lot in their RV's (Seasonal or Full-time) and may or may not have a home base that they occasionally spend time at.

Hi doctor, thank you for your amazing contents!
I've been having ocular toxoplasmosis for 2 years now. Can it getting worst? What should i do? Is there something that i must consume for getting better? Thank you doc.

[ChakkaYashwanth]

Plz do video on convergence insufficiency, why it is caused, possible vision therapy and more neurological related eyes in pertinent to this condition

[jennymullins]

You're awfully likeable, doc! Wonderfully knowledgeable too! Only recently discovered your channel, & am so grateful! Keep up the great work. :)

You may want to make a video showing what people with different degrees of nearsightedness, farsightness, astingmatism, etc. see compared to a normal person. A video about equipment you use and what it does---I'd be interested in what it costs also. Any general advice about seeing a doctor who works alone or see one of several doctors that work together in same practice (maybe more doctors means better equipment or equipment too expensive for a single doctor shop). Do doctors still use ultraviolet light---in 1969 or so I got a piece of sand in my eye in a cave and didn't realize it---doctor used ultraviolet light to check for damage (had a tiny little crater, wore eyepatch for a little while and healed up fine). Give tips and hints about how to avoid common eye injuries, etc. Put a pointer on each page to an index of all your videos---number them so other eye care professionals can tell their clients go to this web page and watch, for example, videos 5, 6, and 17.

How do you just get the red out? I’m sick of having red every single day all day all night! I use drops !

[MarkSenn]

I used to use a 4K 39" diagonal computer monitor 22 inches away. I put a music keyboard in front of the monitor and now use a 4K 55" monitor 33 inches away. Should people get new computer glasses lenses if distance to the screen changes that much? I use fonts around 1.2 times as big on the new monitor, use the computer 9 hours a day, and don't get headaches, eye strain, etc.

[perlaguerra]

Not to be dramatic; but I always felt my eyesight get better with more Vitamin C added in my diet. Maybe I'm a weird case; but that's what I experienced. 🤷🏻‍♀️
