      … Just an FYI, as a video idea.

    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.

  • @petrahinkley5489

    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!

    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!!

    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.
