I used to suffer from Blepharitis. When I stopped eating dairy, gluten, and eggs it went away. I now eat what is called Whole Food Plant Based. Before I started eating like this 100%, if I cheated, I had crusty eyelids the next day. Now I never have the problem. I mentioned it to my doctor, as I had been told there was no cure. They did not know any connection with food. It took a little time to relearn how to eat, but is it totally worth it. Thank you for doing this video.

Hi
13 years of severe dry eye and numerous doc visits w no relief...you have helped me reduce symptoms dramatically!
No info from eye docs about diet, only eyedrops.
Thanks for the huge help you've been!!
I feel like a new person thanks to you!

I have been eating pineapple for 30 days for floater removal and guess what. The floaters are not gone. The pineapple seller is very happy though.

This is such a great video. Thank you for providing options for those of us who don’t eat animal products. I so appreciate a Dr who actually provides info on how to prevent health problems!! Most Drs just want to hand a prescription and not talk about prevention measures/lifestyle changes that can help.

One of the main reason of dry eye is MCAS induced inflammation, adopting anti histamine diet is best approach for dry eye

[brendamcchristy]

I am so happy you are here Dr. You are wonderful to listen to.

I’m just catching your video here. I have worked with my eye doctor. But they have never talked to me about diet or various treatments. I’ve sent your various YouTube to my doctor. They have tried something’s such as various medications, treatments and finally the stem cell treatment.
My problem is from palsy/ nerve damage to the left side of my face. My doctor did put a metal implant but my eye still doesn’t close all the way.
I have bought the various products you have suggested. But I’m still struggling with dry eye. Vision is very limited. So I will continue to watch your videos.
I wish I lived in your area. I’d love to be your patient.

I've been watching your channel the past few days regarding dry eye. I had LASIK in the summer of 2021 after wearing glasses for the first 30 or so years of my life. The first 6 months I had no real problems but suddenly I had some chronic dry eye pop up. Making me feel tired all the time and seemed like no matter how much I slept, I was constantly tired which really halted my day to day life. I've gone through a good half dozen of various eye drops and didn't seem to work as well as plug treatment at my optomitrist and warm compresses. I went ahead and ordered myself a humidifier (which I set up last night), some eye ointments, and some plant based Omega 3 supplements today in hopes they'll help. I just wanted to say thank you for all your great advice ❤

Very informative! I’ve been using a combination of Nordic Naturals Fish oil caps and Algae caps, Systane Ultra preservative free drops and Bruder warm compresses with good results. I also eat salmon on a regular basis. I discovered as I’m aging I need to increase the amount of fish oil I take. I’m in my mid 60’s

I know I've definitely added a few things to my diet from your knowledge. Can't say for certain if anything ever changed or got better but I never struggled much outside of one floater but, what I can say is nothing got worse and nothing came out of no where. Everything still feels great and I feel good too over all.

[joannehirsch]

Thank you for this superb educational and informative video on eye floaters -- delivered by such a knowledgeable and talented doctor. I have seen other presentations by this doctor and am impressed beyond description. I wish I had seen this and all other videos prior to my recent successful cataract removal procedures in both of my eyes. These are a "must see." Dr. Eye Health is wonderful!!

[karinmeemak]

I just watched your video on dry eyes, and it was so helpful and informative! As someone who suffers from dry eyes, I really appreciate you explaining the available treatments. My doctor recommended Optase eye drops, and I also purchased a moist heat eye mask and eyelid cleansing wipes thanks to your advice. I've been trying to follow a Mediterranean diet like you suggested as well.

Speaking of diet, I actually have some helpful knowledge myself that has helped me fight against overweight, and I would love to share it with your viewers. On a personal note, I've added a few things to my diet from your knowledge and while I can't say for certain if anything has changed or gotten better, I haven't had any issues aside from one floater. Everything still feels great and I feel good overall. Thanks again for the great video!

Sardines in olive oil is one of the most nutrient dense foods

[uukegcn]

My doctor told me to use eye drops without preservatives. She didn't mention anything about changing my diet
Thanks for the information.

My eye doctor does zero about my dry eyes. He ignores my pain, my concerns, my questions. I’m in the “ market “ for a different provider.

My routine for dry eyes that has worked so far.

Go in the shower with warm water and let the water hit my eyes for a good 30 seconds. Then use the eye scrubs for 30 seconds on each eye but make sure I get in there and try to clean the lids. Rinse another 30 seconds.

Get out of the shower and add one eye drop on each eye (preservative free).

Then after I get out of work I wash my face and then use my warm compress for my eyes for 20 minutes. Right after the compress is done, I massage the lids by trying to "squeeze" the tears up to the lids. I saw a video online of a sample of how to do it.

I also avoid dairy foods and fast foods. I should be avoiding alcohol but trying to cut back because I notice these 3 things would make my eyes dry

Any recommendations for dealing with dry eyes and swelling related to Rheumatoid Arthritis ? Thanks

[Terriawesome]

Catching on a replay. I was told I have dry eyes. No explanation from the doctor only a prescription for eye drops for the rest of my life. I asked about supplements but they did not provide a good answer. Thank you for being here.

[sallylabhart]

Love mackerel and sardines in extra virgin oil and I take cod liver oil supplement. I am also going to add super enzymes

[Ltmotley]

This is such a helpful, informative and extensive vid regarding dry eyes, which I have. Thank you for explaining the treatments available in this live version. Per my doctor, she suggested Optase eye drops. You have been instrumental in my purchasing a moist heat eye mask as well as eyelid cleansing wipes. I also try to eat a Mediterranean diet as you suggest. Appreciate all you said.
