Today we’re going to discuss the best foods for dry eyes. The glands that produce tears and the ducts that the tears drain through are controlled by vitamin A. A vitamin A deficiency can cause the inner lining of the ducts and the glands to get thicker and rougher. The production of tears or fluids can also diminish.

Top symptoms of a vitamin A deficiency:
1. Night blindness
2. Blurred vision
3. Dry eyes

Taking a vitamin A supplement may not be the best solution in this situation. Instead, you could try getting the vitamin A you need from food.

The best foods for dry eyes:
1. Cod liver oil
2. Liver
3. Fatty fish
4. Butter
5. Cheese
6. Egg yolk
7. Beef

I worked in ophthalmology for 20 years and not one doctor I knew ever addressed dry eyes from a nutritional aspect. Thanks, doc!

Hi Dr, my daughter was suffering from dry eyes, Blepharitis from past 3 yrs and she was restricting dairy, eggs etc. But after watching your video she started taking dairy and eggs. That was the beginning of a beautiful chapter in her life. Her dryness went away and her eyes looks healthy now and i cant thank you enough, Dr. We have wasted lots of money for the medicines and Dr visits. Thanks a million, god bless you Dr Berg

I guessed it before watching the video this is how Dr. Berg fans and audiences become experts :)

[Hey-howdy-yall]

Wow I have extremely dry eye. Painful and I just realized it happened after my gallbladder was removed!

Hey Dr. Berg! You’re the #1 source that I share with others to inform them about keto.
Your videos are fantastic, and the clear info you provide in the notes puts them over the top.
I looked for the link to cod liver that you mentioned, but couldn’t find it. Did I just miss it?

[raquelcuriel]

and I was asking myself today about my dry eyes... Dr. Berg the wizard😳💜❗

[SBASTIAN]

Dr berg! You’ve done all types of videos but I can’t find one specifically for acne scars and hyperpigmentation. You would help many people. Thank you!

Since I came back to low carb I’m so happy to see my diet often match all the good 👍 and I have noticed I don’t bloat like I use to. I also feel like I’m aging backwards. I’m 74 and by my 75 birthday I’ll feel like I’m in my 60s. 🤳🏼

Holy cow! I was just putting in my eye drops after waking up and bemoaning my dry eyes, when I opened YouTube and saw this video! Thank you so much for this extremely helpful information!

[ashrafkunnan]

[petramckean]

I cant believe it...I just started researching dry eyes yesterday because I think I have this condition! Thank you Dr. Berg. Another good video which goes into greater depth is from a professor at Penn State University.

Inflammation of the body also gives dry eyes

May you live long life and keep making all these amazing videos for people. Thank you Dr Berg

[Aprilbaby-vu]

Sea buckthorn oil, I swear by it. I’ve done it all….

[rob]

Could you please do a video on dry sinuses/nose, I get a dry nose at night and it really affects my sleep
Thank you

This has been an incredibly helpful video! Over the last 3 months my eyes have become too dry to wear my contacts. I realize now that it started when my hubby became allergic to eggs so we stopped eating so much and at the same time I began limiting dairy intake. Now I know what to eat to fix it, thank you Dr. Berg!

A supplement containing astaxanthin and lutein cleared up my vision

Dr. Berg, you didn't mention anything about autoimmune conditions. Autoimmune conditions can cause dry eye too. I have Lupus and RA and I have dry eye problems. I'm so miserable. And nothing seems to help.

Dry eye can also be a symptom of sjogrens syndrome.
