The #1 Bad Habit Causing Red Eyes #shorts #redeyes #doctoreyehealth

Having chronically red eyes is a frustrating and excessive computer screen and phone use may be the most likely cause. This is because when staring at a screen we hyper-focus and blink much less than we should. We also fail to completely blink which also contributes to tear film evaporation.

Dry eye syndrome or "dry eyes" is in fact a very complex disease with many contributing factors at play. Many people may experience occasional dry eye symptoms throughout life but chronic dryness can eventually lead to eye pain and blurred vision.

This guy taught me how to remove contacts some 6 years ago ...thanks for all the eye advice 🙏

[annegreenwood]

thanks to your advise on dry eye i make sure to blink often look away in the distance plus compress and eye drops really help

[LyndiBS]

I really wish you could be my eye doctor.... You seem very smart and it seems like you genuinely care about helping people hence all the helpful and free content you share with us viewers.
I have been struggling with multiple eye and eyeglasses issues for 2 years now. I have yet to find an eye doctor who really listens. The ones I have seen had seemed almost automated with their answers to questions and they also made me feel rushed and slightly crazy.... Which I now feel like I am as this whole experience has been traumatic and weighs heavily on my OCD. Things that never bothered me before do now because I am now obsessive over it all, and I am not getting the answers I need in which to help calm down my OCD tendencies. It's been really hard on me mentally and even physically.

[kimyoung]

Thank you so much Sir, please have a great day.❤️

[Lgsquared]

Much thanks bro cause every time I go to school I look geeked 😂😂

[LuciaArts]

Immediately started blinking 3 times a second while watching this video lmao

[raulsaavedra]

Blinked strongly and fully at a rate of about 1 blink/second while approaching the end of this video, so I should have blinked about 30 times at least

[mylavanders]

says alot why i struggle with red eyes thank you sm sir new follower

[allysont.]

That was very close to the computer screen! 😂

[lyndajanda]

I had dry pink eyes until I used Castor Oil along the lashes on a clean face before bed. The results are White Irises and comfortable eyes and healthy lashes .

[cedricwatson]

How come there isn't a prescription out to help treat red eyes? I've been suffering for years with red eyes and no relief. Been to an eye doctor and still no relief 😢

[Hasan-ptwr]

Forced blinking is an effective work around for this, every fewminutes to do 1 powerful blink can stimulate the muscles of riolan, reducing dry eye symptoms significantly

My eye doc said that I don't close my eyes completely. You referenced this. I understand why we don't while on the computer or smart phones. Doc can you tell us other reasons why we may do this. I do have CDE as a result of surgery in the past. I'm finding the older I get the worse it gets and my blinking gets. I'm concerned that this is going to cause scratches on my corneas. I have slight cataract and am concerned that I won't be able to have surgery for that when time comes. I use medicated prescription drops and over the counter drops as well. Why would I not be blinking completely at other times when not on the computer or phone/ i pad, etc., ? Help. Btew, I'm over 60 age now. Tia for the help. God bless for doing this channel and helping the uneducated. @DoctorEyeHeath

[mr_silver_eyes]

I was doing this the other day (I was trying to stare without blinking to copy this one girl who barely blinks in her acting videos.) After a certain amount of time not blinking my eyes started getting watery and I think I made myself “cry” on cue!

[Life_]

Should we consciously blink more and close our eyes for a second every minute?

[genlovell]

Do curved computer monitors help with eye strain and dry eye? I bought a defective one that doesn’t turn on, so I have to return, but I was hoping it would help ease the screen eye strain.

[zennysglcvv]

I appreciate this a lot. I’ve been playing with the computer for 3 days now I mean not straight but I play everyday for like 5-7 hours in a day

[NYLazyme]

My dry eyes are worse in the morning than at any other moment during the day so I blink a lot all the time because it feels like I have something stuck in my eyes all the time
