Learn about how vitamin c benefits the eyes and many other health tips!
About This Video: In this video, Joseph J. Allen, OD FAAO from Doctor Eye Health responds to your health and wellness questions! We get a lot of comments here on the channel and wanted to share our eye healthy tips with you by responding to your questions on video. In this video we cover a wide variety of eye care questions but one of the biggest is around vitamin c benefits for the body and how vitamin c supplements benefits the eyes. Eye vitamins often have vitamin c in them for their nutrition benefits for fighting oxidation. Eye vitamins used to also contain vitamin A as a supplement (some still do) but even though vitamin A benefits the retina, vitamin A supplements can increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers. If you want to learn hear some great health tips about the eyes, check out this video.
Please let me know if you have a video idea or a topic you want covered as I take them seriously! Thank you and I appreciate you!

    You did a great job on the Q&A style video. Question: Do you have any advice for the nomad community about getting eye care, eye care products, and prescription items like glasses & contacts? Another way to look at it is how can you get eye care on the road? Nomads are usually traveling a lot in their RV's (Seasonal or Full-time) and may or may not have a home base that they occasionally spend time at.

Our clinic has an edging machine so we can make most glasses within an hour or 2. Thankfully, I do have several videos on eyelid cleansing, allergies, and dry eye topics if you need some more helpful info. Thanks for watching.

As they can look similar and symptoms are not much different. How do you know if redness is due to surfers eye or just constant eye allergies? I'm interested in this because I think my eyes have always been a little bloodshot as far as I can remember but I have been told I have surfers eyes by my new optometrist. Which took me by suprise. I go yearly for check ups and my old optometrist never said I had it. Can the surgery put you under general anesthesia to do the surgery? Thinking about being awake during the surgery is a thought that makes me panic with fear. A knife cutting your eye while awake sounds horrible

    You may want to make a video showing what people with different degrees of nearsightedness, farsightness, astingmatism, etc. see compared to a normal person. A video about equipment you use and what it does---I'd be interested in what it costs also. Any general advice about seeing a doctor who works alone or see one of several doctors that work together in same practice (maybe more doctors means better equipment or equipment too expensive for a single doctor shop). Do doctors still use ultraviolet light---in 1969 or so I got a piece of sand in my eye in a cave and didn't realize it---doctor used ultraviolet light to check for damage (had a tiny little crater, wore eyepatch for a little while and healed up fine). Give tips and hints about how to avoid common eye injuries, etc. Put a pointer on each page to an index of all your videos---number them so other eye care professionals can tell their clients go to this web page and watch, for example, videos 5, 6, and 17.

    Hey Doc. I've been having episcleritis for 6 months now and my doctor says there is no cure for it and I that I got to deal with it. I've been doing warm compresses, using artificial tears and sleeping more to keep inflammation down. Its only in my right eye. He's putting me on NSAID eye drops to use in the long-term to help me deal with this issue. Do you think its safe to use those drops in the long term? He says the drops are given to post surgery treatment for catarac surgery patients. Thank you.

    I often try a short term topical steroid for my episcleritis patients with a slow taper, topical NSAIDS are safer as long as they are not overused - as they can cause corneal melt in extreme cases. Episcleritis can also be associated with systemic conditions (although many times it is just idiopathic). I hope things get better for you.

    @@DoctorEyeHealth The issues with my eyes are affecting my life so severely to the point that I don't look forward to trying to sleep at night. The color pattern in my eyes completely changed, the tops of the eyes where the color begins has become a stirred up blur, spots and floaters, developed an astigmatism in both eyes, went from 20/20 in both eyes to 20/40 & 20/45, dark red veins has completely covered up the whites of my eyes 360 degrees around my eyes and grow in to the color in the center of the eye, the oil glands no longer produce oil and the tear ducts are no longer working properly. Preservative free eye drops no longer work for more than a minute let alone react properly with the surfaces of my eyes. I have practically no night vision anymore. This has all happened between May of last year and now, and my 'retinal specialist' doctor has no idea about what to do and doesn't even care about finding out any of the what, when, why or hows of my eye issues and their causes. I'm just another paycheck to her. I've thought about a lawsuit but I don't have the time, health or money for that. It could be SIBO, toxins, insulin, rapid weight loss and a month long juice fast and screwed up refeeding that caused it all I don't know.. but please reach out doctor and help me if you can before I give up.. I'm only 28 and hate living now

I suggest you do this to find a reputable eye doctor. If you live in a rural area in NC, then consider maybe going to an urban area as most reputable doctors tend to be in these areas.

    If it is a mild case of dry eyes or a more moderate case that also relieves medical treatment, then perhaps it can be managed with good nutrition and proper blink rate. Dry eye is very complex. I hope to have a video soon going over the different types of dry eye and how it is diagnosed and this will give a better outlook on the causes and treatments.

    Sleep makes a big difference on dry eyes and redness for sure. It would be hard to claim solar retinopathy from a simple car reflection, you would need to stare it down for a long time. But if you have a permanant blinkd spot in your vision your eye doctor may be able to order an OCT test and confirm if it was true solar retinopathy.
