Oh my goodness this has been so helpful. Thank you

Excellent information, as usual! Thank you so much Dr. Allen.

Always great and helpful videos, thank you!

Simply put, your the best Dr.

Thankyou for the education I’m really learning so much from you everyday.I watch your shows everyday.

Thank you, I feel encouraged that I might finally get some real relief. I did not even know about the eye massage after the compress.

Thanks for your videos! I suffer from dry sensitive eyes ever since lasik I had 7 years ago. Your videos are the best at explaining their suggestive therapies

These videos are so helpful. Thank you for the information and the links. Much appreciated.

I LOVE the Bruder mask that you've recommended. I use it at night while I'm meditating. Works wonderfully! Thank you!

I hate doing citation, so I just wanna say I appreciate you putting citation in your video. I’m trying to figure out if I do eye drops before or after the compress.

dr eye health, I find it really helpful warm compress, eyelid message as i do sometimes have a bit of eye strain problems too

You are a good Eye Doctor very informative🤩

You are the best young man as an eye doctor. Thanku for your knowledge.

Thank you so much for your videos they are very helpfully, greetings from Mexico

Thank you for these tips. I definitely need to do the warm compresses daily instead of only occasionally as I'm doing now. I find setting my phone to an alarm for my eye drops (for eye pressure) helps me remember to use them so I will do the same with the compress. I have the Bruder eye compress and I really like it

Thank you for your work!

EXCELLENT video and something I have had questions about for a while now, but you gotta warn a brother before you show the oils being squeezed out like that

Hi I am doctor Ansala from Sri Lanka. I started to follow you. I learn many things from you. Thank you. Keep updating so you can train doctors too.

Hello Doctor .I love listening to you, your talk is very clearly and understanding. my question is, I had a Cataract surgery done last year and, I have a Lenses , after that I have a dry eyes ,can I do warm compresses? Thank you for your Time

Thank you so much for your videos. They are helping with my dry eye problems. You may have heard this suggestion, but I have found that filling a maxi pad with warm water works well. ;) The water stays warm for a lot longer than a washcloth.

Hi Doctor, thank you so much for all of your info, really helpful! My mom has very high pressure in her eyes even she uses the drop that her doctor prescribed. Can you PLEASE make a video about high pressure in eyes? Thank you so much

The best way to express the eye is after a warm compress is by instilling eye drops of a better quality such as Hi -lo or I-Drop brand. It allows you to massage downward to a slippery eye lid and gently run your finger down the eye lid with out the skin resistance of tugging and sticking.

Thank you for this!!!

Thanks, Doc!!!

I already see better. I use to exepwrience blurry everyday. But now i difinitely do warm compress. Significant change after a 3 min. Warm compress. Thank you good doctor. 😃

I love my bruder mask for my warm compresses. I'll even use the mask when my eye pain is really bad, even if it's just to provide some heat on my eyes. I heat the mask for between 25 to 28 seconds

Thank you for the tips! I've always wondered what the best way to compress is!

I suffer from MGD and the warm compress was the cure (I use an electrically powered one from amazon and it does the trick just fine). Having suffered from flare ups of very sore and swollen blocked glands (where most people thought I had an infection or stye) this was an incredible break through and help. I do it every day for 30 mins straight whilst I meditate and it keeps the glands clear but if I miss it for a week or so the glands block up again so it highlights the importance of staying consistent with it. I do suffer from dry eyes still, especially in the winter, so I'm continuously working on that, but delighted that I don't get the huge swollen glands now. P.S before I discovered the root cause by investigating myself I went to an optician and doctor multiple times and they were little to no use. In a nutshell, they said 'you have to live with it'. Don't lose hope people and research these problems yourself too.

I often tell patients, if they don't want to buy anything, just put uncooked rice into a clean sock and put that into the microwave. It holds heat very well. Just be careful with the temperature. And the rice should be changed out periodically.

Please could you give similar items to these that are available in the uk when you have time? I use the Optase moist bead mask which is the same or very similar to one of the ones you use. But I can’t seem to find anything like the tranquil eyes. I’ve also looked at the usb ones, but there are so many to choose from it’s difficult to know which brands are okay and not too hot or cold.

I would like to do some research for surgery and non surgical options for women with droopy eye lids? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

After trying lots of options to get rid of a stye for over a week, I finally went to the doctor. He prescribed Clorsig, but also said a warm compress would be a good option. What he didn’t explain was how to do that. I naturally used a warm wet washcloth. Thank you for explaining that isn’t the best option. I have no idea why your video popped up on my feed other than my phone has been ‘listening’ to me, which is scary. I didn’t google anything about my eyes recently. Hmmm…

I cover my Bruder mask with a handkerchief so I can keep it clean. We can use a small soft cooler and heat two Bruder masks and use one and keep one in the soft pack so we can get 15 minutes.

Hello doctor can you tell me that how much chances are there of having a retinal detachment,tear or hole if we are going through pvd in our eyes.And is there still a risk of forming a retinal detachment,tear or hole after complete of pvd.

I do mine in my shower every night, but I can't stay in the shower for 30 mins...:-). I've been doing it for several months now, and it's great, I don't have to pull my lids open every morning. I used the type of compress with dry heat, and wound up with a huge headache around my sinus'. The wash cloth works for me now. Thanks for all of your good info.

Try washing your eyelids with diluted baby shampoo as well. Works wonders.

What is your opinion for using hot compresses on patients with ocular rosacea?

I was told by my doctor to do wet compress or moist heat than dry compress that works for everyone.. I think it is a good idea to put peppermint essential oil and theives oil to water. You can do steaming for longer time and you could also use drops of artificial eye drops as lubricant for dry eye before you sleep. My stye was recurring so this Doctor suggested I do this and it was completely gone. Do four times antibacterial TOBROMYCIN drops and four times moist compress in a day

Would massaging my eyelids in the shower be a good idea for replacing moist heat pads?
