I've been isolated to one room in my house with limited movement and day light for over 2 years now alongside extremely poor nutrition due to failed xicide attempts.

My eyesight is now absolutely shocking, looking at the keyboard on my phone the letters all have a white glare, even my nails have changed and are becoming domed/raised.

Anyone slipping in to this state please reachout and get help, everything is becoming such a hassle. No one will look after you 100% except you but things can ve put in place to help reverse these issues before they get bad. GET THE HELP YOU NEED

Hello Dr. Rupa! Thank you for another fantastic video. The mom in you shows in your professional field of work. You genuinely care -- that's a beautuful thing.

Love your videos! Thank you Dr. Wong! Video ideas: how to treat chronic dry eyes, how to prevent macular degeneration, Ortho-K vs Lasik. Thank you again!

Hi Dr. Rupa, Can you talk about removing warts, etc. that are in the lash line. Can it be done and who would do it and how.? And how would it heal and would it disrupt lash growth? Thanks.

Aloha, Dr Wong, do you ever come over to the Hilo area to consult or do you do zoom consults? I will continue to watch and learn what I can on your YouTube channel but thought it worth asking. This info is really helpful and I will start with your suggestions on this video and watch other ones. My male eye docs are not really able to deal with makeup and skin around the eye questions well. It was suggested to me to use baby shampoo gently around the lash area, but it seems a bit irritating in practice and I notice that you do not suggest this.

Hello Dr. Rupa I would like to ask you if tubing mascara is better than regular mascara and are corner lashes better for dry eye?

[denisemarie]

Dr. Rupa! How is 2023 treating you thus far?! I like my vegetables. It's growing old that is getting the better of my eyesight!
I have been wanting to ask you this question because it is puzzling me. Out of my left eye the colors are cool. Out of my right eye the colors are amber. Real life seems more cool than amber, but both eyes see with a lighting that I don't think is accurate. Have you ever heard of this before? Any idea what it is? It is really only noticeable when I am using my 10x magnifier mirror. Thank you!
Another question for you, please. Should we regularly see an Ophthalmologist or an Optometrist? Does it matter on our age or health of our eyes? How often should we go? Thanks!
I use coconut oil to erase my makeup then wash my face afterwards with a cleanser. Then I have started applying a mixture of Castor oil + Vitamin E oil to my brows and lashes. I see I have one spot of milia on my lower lashline. I wonder if it's the castor oil? Because I have been using coconut oil for years without any concerns. Or maybe it's just leaving oil on my lashes overnight in general. Have you done a video on Milia before? And what do you recommend for a good eye wash ingredient list?

THANK YOU, DR. RUPA!!!! Lots and lots of

Hello !

Since a bad anxiety period following a panik attack I made the mistake to focus on my blinking and consciously blink to lower it.

I developed a fear of not blinking enough some times after that event sadly, which make me check several time if I blink (yes it's weird). The first day was weird, I got a huge pression on my sinuses and dark orange boogers on my cheeks.

The problem is my eyes are not good Since, even if I try to stop consciously blink. They are red, irritated, I got a conjunctivitis for the first time 3 weeks ago and since they didn't come back to their state.

Now I'm constantly feeling my eyes are dry. They are no white anymore like they were 3 months ago.

I'm sure it's because I don't blink enough, maybe because I'm too focus on it. Does eyes exercises helps to take back a good habit and increase spontaneous blinking ?

I know it was a very idiot idea to focus on my blinking during a bad anxiety period, I were not aware of it sadly.
