Dr. What is the ideal humity setting for dry eye patients?

Outstanding! Generic advice such as “use heat and massage” is commonly thrown at patients, but most doctors don’t take the time to demonstrate the specific procedures required. More online docs are beginning to remedy this, and your demonstrations and recommendations are some of the best. Many thanks!

After cataract surgery on both eyes in 2021, I've had dry eyes for 2 years; itchy, watery & poor vision. Nothing helped until I tried Systane Complete PF - all good now, no more dry eyes! I also take Omega 3 each day but it was the Systane that really made the difference, truly amazing. Great video, very informative. Thank you.

@MichaelRChuaMD. Dr. Chua, it is such a pleasure to be taught by a talented, well spoken, organized, practical eye doctor who understands his craft and can communicate at a scientific level, understandable for most. Fellow PENN graduate. Wish you were in Florida, I would be a patient. But for now, I will subscribe to your newsletter. Thx for this informative content!

intelligent, informative, easy to understand, makes suggestions clear, not associated with any company, and all excellent advice. Thanks for being so straightforward and honest.

Great tips Michael, and what I like that you give affordable very clear advise which is like a breath of fresh air

Terrific presentation - great voice, pace, kindness & helpful visuals! Thank you.

Gotta tell y’all..my husband recently bought a tiny convertible sports car…and after half-way thru our first extended ride out in the country….my eyes were a mess!! Even though I wear heavy duty wrap-around old lady sunglasses, the wind factor whipped the fluids right out of my eyes! Luckily I had generic drops with me, but had to spend most of the ride home with eyes closed and not enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery (oh, what greenery!) So - lesson learned!

Excellent! Thank you so much for your very clear, thorough, and extremely helpful video.

This is the best dry-eye video I've seen. thanks.

I have seen thousands of videos and this is the video that helped me the most,🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Thank you

Thank you so much Dr. Chua for sharing these valuable tips. I am currently under the care of an ophthalmologist and everything you shared is in agreement with my care plan. I had previously tried separate drops and the Systane tears have by far been the best drops. Your video is the 1st I have seen on this topic so kudos to you for sharing your expertise in this space.

I used to have dry eyes. I went to the doctor, got some meds.... Finally did my own research and discovered dry eyes are from a Vitamin A deficiency. I took a bunch of Vit A and no my dry eyes. Now I take cod liver oil. A lot more than the recommended dose. Thank you

Ok I would like to report to everyone and the doctor that I received my aroma season eye warming device. I started using it on the next to the highest setting which they do not give you the temperature for. I’m gonna have to call the company to find out that warm but not too hot 10 minutes. I used it three days in a row once a day. The reason I did 10 minutes was because I wanted to see if using it for less time would give me a result. Well, it certainly did.! it’s been a week since then and I’m not using it and my eyes are perfect ! No running , no redness, no discomfort. I’m waiting to see how long I can go without repeating the heating and massage. So it took less time for me to be able to heal my eye for now because as we know dry eye can come and go. very happy and could not get this help for two years from my own eye doctor or anyone else that was in the practice thank goodness for people who take the time to put their knowledge out for the rest of us.!!! I will report back to let people know if it comes back but now I know if it does that I have a protocol to follow that’s effective and fast thank you again!!!

Thank you, doctor !

Thanks doctor , I don't know whether this helped me or not but packed with knowledge

Wow tysm ur a life saver

Thanks for the info 😊

This was extremely helpful! I have had my puncts dilated in the past for my dry eye. That helped for a long while. On my last appointment earlier this month, my doc kind of ignored that. I'm not sure why. However, what we did address is something that looked like a pimple on the inner, lower lid of my left eye, which I thought was going to be a stye, but never matured. My left eye is chronically dry and irritated. On eval, he said it was a plugged Meibomian gland. Recommended warm packs, but because I am a retired ER nurse and understand how warm compresses work on such things, I didn't ask for the details. I expected that it would bust open eventually, but it hasn't. He didn't tell me about the massaging. THAT will change things a lot. I use Systane and have for several years. You wouldn't think there would be much difference between eye drops, name brand or generic with the same ingredients, but there is. I've found it to be the best. I've not tried the one you suggest though, and I think I will. You call it affordable, but that's relative. At most pharmacies, it's over $15 a bottle. You can get a generic version for much less ... but I've not found (yet) a generic version of the drops you suggest. I have Systane gel, as well as a version of lacrilube (my husband's because he has a tendency to sleep with his eyes slightly open), but those aren't practical for mid-day use unless you have an hour or so that you don't have to do anything. Leaves a film that, although gloriously comfortable, renders good vision moot until it disperses. Have you made a video about punct dilation? Genetically, I have very small ones, as does my sister. Is there some way to keep them clear and working without them having to be dilated? Hasn't been a problem until we were just over 40.

Thanks for the tips and information about the dry eyes ❤

I'm having dry eyes for the last few months. It's getting better now. None of the eye drops (Systane, homeopathy) worked for me. It's in the nutrition- Omega 3's & 6's. I ate cage free 10 eggs made with butter every week for few weeks. Also, consumed sesame seeds & hot cocoa every day. Blurriness is going away. You will have to give few weeks before you see the effects of nutritional foods.

Hens are left outside so they have access to natural foods plus freedom makes them happy. Happy means healthy.. congested barns can make them sick. Organic cage free eggs taste much better than the regular ones. It has less saturated fat & more protein...just like grass fed butter.- cows are eating grass not grains...grass fed butter is tastier.

THANK YOU, Dr. Chua! I am completely overwhelmed by trying to decide what drops, regimen, etc. is right for me. I feel like I've tried EVERYTHING. My opthalmologist seems a bit dismissive (" It's one of those, 'my eyes are getting older' things"). I'm 72, but, it affects the quality of my life; so much discomfort. I wore contacts for many years and had cataract surgery six years ago. I will watch this entire video..thank you SO MUCH for this and for your caring, compassionate manner. So comforting.
