I was trying to find a video on how to put them in without them someone’s falling here out there… More relevant for the preservative free ones. … Just an FYI, as a video idea.
I'd like to thank this kind Opthalmologist Dr Chua for sharing effective treatmts which many doctors aren't sharing openly. God bless this good doctor.🙏
Thank you very much Dr. MICHAEL CHUA. VERY well explained, very organized. More power and more patients for you.
Hi Dr. Thank you for your advice. My eyes are very dry but have improved over time. I use Omega 3, Systane Ultra drops PF, Celluvisc drops if they are very dry due to weather conditions. Green tea steam eye bath, helps the inflammation. I use a small humidifier at night beside my bed. I hope everyone gets some relief.

Thank you, Dr. Chua. Good summary of treatment.
I especially liked when you noted that people who have more omega 3 fish oil in their diet have a reduction in dry eye. This is helpful and such an easy and natural change to make. Thank you and I look forward to more of your videos.

I used sea buckthorn oil gel caps and it really helped. I think if I continue on them I'll see more improvement. Before taking them, there were mornings when it felt like my eyes were glued shut. One eye seems drier than the other too.....not sure why.

Excellent presentation/ information.!! thank you Dr Chua
Thank you so much for the info in this video. I have been struggling with dry eyes ever since I moved to Utah from Germany. The air is usually very dry here and my eyes are burning all the time. I used to take a supplement by theratears which contains some fish oil and other beneficial nutrients. After about 3 weeks I noticed that my eyes were more lubricated. That and some moisturizing drops used to help. I can't quite afford everything so I haven't used these capsules in a few years, but I might try them again. I'm going to keep following you since you definitely seem to care about other people and give valid and informative information. Thank you so much!
Wow doc!!!! My current eye doctor recommended these. You just confirmed. Thanks😊
Thank you so much Dr Michael Chua, really got enough information. Started having dry eye symptoms, with this info I will be able to myself, tho I have an appointment soon with the eye doc!
Great video thank you this was so helpful!
Thank you Doc! I have been flipping out until seeing my Optho, but these are sensible and actionable measures 👏✌️
Thanks Doc! I just became a fan! Your recommend helped me with waking up with dry eyes. Wish you practice in Florida.
Thanks Dr. Chia. Very educational.

Thank you Dr Chua, I have suffered from dry eye for a long time now. I thought I would just have to suffer through it but after listening to your video I see that there is help available.

I see a difference already and it's only day 2! I've used visine for red eye daily for over a decade! And they were just getting worse recently. I started using two of your products recommended just yesterday and my eyes are less red! Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing Doctor. God bless you
Thanks for the information
Maqui berry cleared up my dry eye, which was severe. 1/2 tsp of the powder each morning, dissolved in a half glass of water. I don't know how or why it works, but it does. Worth a try if you have this condition; it costs me about $10 for a 3-4 month supply.

Thank you for this. I have an auto immune disease and have dry eyes. Restasis doesn’t work anymore. Years ago my ophthalmologist had me try Muro 128. It worked then but I didn’t like the hazy vision. I decided to try it again and I am so grateful I did. Between that and lubritated eye drops I’m coping well.
I had punctal plugs and while they helped, they always started to reject after around 6 months. I've been on Xiidra for a few years and it's been life changing. I also use warm compresses if I start to have burning.
Thanks so much for all you information
Thank you; this video is very helpful and informative.

I suffer from severe dry eye, literally can't open my eyes when I wake up, I have to use a drop first thing waking up. He nails everything perfect and what works for me, down to the dang drops which took me years of trial and error to find what worked for me.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!
Dry eyes are not always a "stand alone" problem. Sometimes dry eyes are a symptom of autoimmune issues (which, btw content creator, thank you for mentioning this). When my rheumatologist put me on hydroxychloroquine, the symptoms were slightly reduced. What really gave me great benefit was having tear duct plug placed and I'm now looking into having my tear ducts cauterized so that they are no longer functional. Yes, I'd rather have what little tears I do produce make me look like I'm crying a bit.
Thanks for the info doctor

You are so correct about those recommended meds for dry eye! I cannot afford them. I have Sjogren's and working at a computer all my life, I have serious dry eye. When I experienced Bells Palsy the eye doctor prescribed an antibiotic gel, which I periodically put in my eyes at night and makes a great difference in my dry eyes. When I do use tears, (CLEAR EYES) my eyes itch so badly for quite some time and I think is part of ALLERGIES. After listening to the entire video I realize I NEED TO TOSS CLEAR EYES in the trash!! THANK YOU for this video!
Thanks so much doc 😇 I really want to help my husband, I suspect he is suffering from dry eyes 🥺
Love your show!

Wow, one of the most helpful videos I've seen in a long time. I do use dry eye drops about 3x a day. My husband got a scratched cornea, and the doctor said that can be caused by untreated dry eye, so it's good to use drops not just for comfort but to take care of the eye. Thank you for your nice smile and valuable information.

Thank Doctor! You don’t know how long I’ve been suffering these horrid symptoms and my doctor didn’t get it. Suffering this grainy, sand paper and inflamed sensation is extremely painful. Living in pain and having red eyes on a daily basis truly feels like hell.

I SUBSCRIBED Immediately! I wanna know what you use on your Face? I have never seen such skin. I had a Eye Exam last week and they discovered my lower tear ducts are dry. She asked me if I have seasonal allergies. I said yes, I do. I said I carry Drops. But now I know what are better drops. I heard about the Red Eye Relief Drops back in the 90’s how they were not good for the eyes because of restriction. Thank You for your Video.
Warm compress n eye massage after it has helped me most
Can I use Systane complete everyday thanks so much God bless you
Thanks and God bless 🙏 you Dr.
