I have a question how many minutes should I massage my eyes for? I'm supposed to do both eye massage and warm compresses but not sure how many minutes I massage my eyes for
I have been having a chalazion for last 2 months, its a recurrent one ocurred several years ago too, this time is in the upper lid , after watchin your videos I tried to use hot compresses from last two days, now there is a swelling at it hurts even more, is it normal or my infection has got worse?
My eye is still rough
@boston babe sounds like a visual migraine if it happensâin both eyesâ at the same time. Should last about 20 minutes normally.
Can you do a video explaining Pellucid Marginal Degeneration? Just found out about that today....
Anyone else watching this video with one eye closed? đ
Lol yup. With a sock filled with hot rice sitting on it. Hoping to get rid of a chalazion.
đ you know it! đ
Me
Jajajja međ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
Not me but my dad
Massage starts at 2:50
Before doing the massage,
1. Perform Warm Compress to warm up the oil glands
2. Wash your hands to prevent infecting your eye
thx
@@sdg-brawlstars1621 hello bro
Ř´ŮعاااااđŤ
Went to several eye specialists and left with no knowledge on my problem or how to fix itâŚ. Thank you for actually educating and sharing knowledge⌠I havenât lost ALL faith in the medical industry
Ive seen 4 walkin doctors 2 optometrist and 1 optomologist and got basically nowhere....i tried this simple procedure snd i feel better already.....much appreciated
happy to hear that!
I watched this video and gave it a try since I had a six day old stye that kept growing. The first night I did this, I woke up with my stye smaller and lot of crust around my eyes. I had a feeling it was the stye draining so I kept doing it. Today is the third day and Iâve noticed that this does actually work. My stye got 60%smaller in two days. I did this by washing my eye with baby shampoo then using a warm compress to soften it. When softened, I did the massages for 5 min on the area then washed my eyes again. Do this at your own risk and take precaution.
After trying warm compress and *months* of Restasis dry eye drops, Dr. Allenâs seven minute video on massage (which none of my providers have ever mentioned) has given my eyes a glimmer of good-feeling and relief.
Dr. Allen is a well-made man. I bet he and his staff make an eyeâ˘xellent team. đ
My doctor recommended looking into this - good to know I found a valuable video.
@@CalamityJenJonesMine told me to massage and I found this video because I like to see visuals :) Glad to know my eye doctor is on the up and up lol
This is unbelievably helpful. Proper explanation and actually doing what you are teaching (others just âpretendâ to massage the eyelid). Very hepful
When my son was little, 3 y/o, if his Dad has a headache, he would offer to give him an "eye mashage". He would use his fingertips and very gently move them in small circles on his dad's closed eyelids for about a minute. And amazingly, his dad's headache would immediately "go away" and my son would be showered with love. He's 40 now and occasionally he is asked for an eye mashage by one of use.
That's adorable
âClosed eyeâ massage? Showered with love? Have you contacted your local police department?
@@NickM92 that sounds alarming
@@NickM92 Way to make absolutely everything sound like it's wrong lol đ
Thank you this really works. Gently massaging the eyelids with the finger tips makes the headache go or at least decreased it. Thank you for sharing.
That eye massage actually works wonders! Using for chronic allergic conjunctivitis.
I have extremely dry eyes to the point of tearing. The doctor told me to add this to my preventative routine.
Out of this 7min video I got a real solution to my dry eye problem. Better than the appointment with the eye doc who told me to use eye drops multiple times a day which only combats the symptoms not the cause. Thank you. You got yourself a subscriber.
I love this - my eyes always feel immediately "cooler" when I do this - you can feel the oil being released and it's HEAVEN!!!
I'm dealing with advanced eye dryness. Even though I went every year to my eye doctor, my problem wasn't caught early. I am now seeing an eye doctor who is treating me a lot as you are recommending but I am also picking up some very good tips from you. Thank you so very much! God Bless You.
This is a great video. My wife was recently diagnosed with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and the optometrist recommended performing this massage explained in the video. The video is excellent and provides a great narration with the hands-on massage demonstrated and explained. Thank you! This was super helpful.
doing this for dry eye! Thanks for the detailed, visual tutorial!
Thank you!
I just used your method for an eye massage for a sty and it worked!
I have been suffering this for over a week, used prescription salve and it took your video to 'open' the sty!
God bless you! âş
Ive been doing warm compress and the lid massage Ă2 a day morning/night to help maintain my Blepharitis to minimise a flare up and to help unclog the oil glads. so far it seems to be helping alot!
I have blepharitis too and try to do everything right to help my symptoms but nothing comes out when I do it...
@@Alix777. Mine ended up clogging up really badly. so I found a optometrist who now does heat therapy on mine every two months she expresses the oils from my glands. I'm now down to warm compress once a day and the lid massage is no longer necessary for mine. It took almost 7months to unclog mine with the heat therapy.
And because my eyes are so sensitive every eye drop I have tried even preservative free ones burn and swell up my eyes. So I'm only able to do the heat therapy and the warm compress at home for maintenance.
@@angelmcmahon7871 is it healed now?
@@angelmcmahon7871 what is this heat treatment ? can you give me more info please ? stuck with blepharitis for almost 2 years and never really got through, and same eyes drops burn now, i can only do the massage and warm goggles at home but still clogged and they dont want to operate
updates?
He starts the massage at 2:52
God thank goodness I was not in the mood to help someone with making money while my eyes were suffering.
Bruh you saved me, he talks too much
Thank you đ
Thank you. Your videos are absolutely essential to us. Please donât give up on your followers. Thanks again.
The eye compress works for me and now Iâll try the massage.
Very useful thank you. I have been struggling to sea for the last few days and my optician said I have sticky eye. I was told to use a heat mask and to massage my eye lids, so your video is absolitely brilliant for me .Thank you
This has to be the best explained video for styles! I canât believe this worked in 24 hours! Just watched this yesterday, saw other peopleâs comments and gave it a try. Itâs already starting to drain. Thank you so much! I heard of doing an eyelid massage but didnât do it properly, and my eye became even more swollen- 4 days before Christmas đ. Also thanks for the heads up about pressure. I get these a lot and wasnât thinking about applying too much pressure.
Scared to do this because I'm heavy handed (might over massage) but I'm glad that I finally did it tonight. My eyeballs glide easily, no blurring of the vision too - instant relief âĽď¸. Thank you! Will do this everyday.
Iâve had an eye doctor do it on me to demo and he was pretty heavy handed and it surprised me how delicate I was being đ so it can take a bit more than I thought â¤
I have chalazion in my lower left eye lid, the doctor prescribed tobradex eye drop and Nevanac for a week, with warm eye compress, he didn't mention anything about the massage. Thanks Doctor for this video.
Holy crap these really helped. Something got in my eyes a few hours ago and they got really red and dry. Doing these exercises plus the one on your video for computer strain made my eyes feel better. Thank you!
My boyfriend has a stye and I'm PRAYING this helps !
Warming an area up before you massage the area always improves results. I'm glad you noticed the benefit and mentioned it. I will try this the next time I have dry eyes. Thank you for making this video sir, I was happy to learn this self-massage technique.
This video is a public service. Well done, Dr! The lid massage method is tried and true, and if his guidelines are followed, is very safe. THANK YOU.
Just started doing this and my eyes felt better today! Iâve tried everything! Helpful video, thanks! Hope it keeps helping!
I have a sty. First time ever, didnât realize how painful these are. Thank you for sharing the information regarding eye lid massage. Very helpful âhow toâ as my ophthalmologist recommended me to do this after using a warm compress.
Thanks Carolyn!!! Glad you found it so useful! I hope your sty improves very soon!
I apologize for commenting so much but today my eyes felt their best in 6 yrs and itâs because of your videos! I learned I had dry eyes and other vision problems besides the exotropia I was being seen for from the vision therapist I demanded my ophthalmologist refer me to in 2018. Iâve spent yrs battling to be heard by optometrists and ophthalmologists. I had 20/20 or better vision until my 40s but could never see clearly with both eyes to read well and do many things people take for granted. The vision therapist said most eye doctors donât have the diagnostic tools to test patients for vision disorders like mine. I learned to cope with the Exotropia but the discomfort of dry eyes was a battle as they got increasingly worse. Only 2 days of adding the eye massage to the list made a huge difference. Thank you for all the videos!!!
Thank you so much. This was very helpful.
Iâm here because I just found out I have dry eye symptoms.
Iâm happy to get this detailed information.
Very clear and useful information. I have a chalazion on one eye, but both the Meibomian glands on both eyes have become clogged. My new opthalmologist had me start using the Bruder mask, and instructed me to massage my eyes after using the mask. I wasn't sure if I was doing the massage correctly, and now I know that I was not! Thank you for posting this!
I cannot thank you enough for this video! You told me so much more about this than my own eye doctor did.
This seems like a lot of tugging on the thin skin covering the eye causing sagging of that skin.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I have extremely dry eyes and have had a tough time understanding how to massage my eyes. Watching you has helped me tremendously!!
Wonderful!
Excellent video! I am recovering from an eye infection precipitated by a clogged oil gland that actually ruptured. My opthalmologist said to do the warm compresses twice a day during recovery, then once every other day going forward. He said it's good hygiene, just like brushing your teeth on a regular basis. He didn't say anything about the eyelid massage, but I will probably incorporate that going forward. I have been suffering with dry eyes at night since March 2020.Thanks for the demonstration!
Thank you very much Doctor. I wish you were in California, I would have been one of your patient, I have painful dry eyes as sometimes I get blood in the eyes. I never had my eye specialist explaining as goog as you do here. Thank you againI have learned about Hypo Chlor, I will get it right away. I am so grateful to have founf your video, You are a very good teacher.
I just want to thank you - I do this every day and it helped me A LOT!
Did it take off
Did it take long before you noticed an improvement?
Dealing with ocular rosacea, your videos are super helpful. I was pushing too hard during my massage before, thank you.
EYE am an Optometrist and EYE approve this message. Well done.
Well, you just explained to me why glaucoma might be a future issue. Never knew this about eye pressure. Great tips!
When is that
Wish he said it at the beginning of the video as I followed the massage all the way through and only heard him say that after when I have a chazalion thatâs pressing against my eyeball on the inside
You are a True Doctor !!! So rare to see one these days.đ¤đť God bless you Doc.
So nice of you
Extremely helpful, I'm treating a stye and my ophtalmologist just send me to youtube instead of demonstrating how to do it himself. For being based in Switzerland where we supposedly have the best health care system, you're surely scoring higher than my local experts, thanks!
I have recently been diagnosed with meibomian gland dysfunction after been told for about 32 years i have hay fever, allergic conjunctivitis plus other stuff. My eyes were hurting today and followed these simple instructions and its helped loads. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad it helped!
Your video and instructions are clear and quite helpful. I really appreciate the guidance you provided. I already do the warm compresses but adding the massages as you indicated should further improve my dry eye condition. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I hope things start to improve for you!
Wow. You explained this much better than my eye doc. I finally get it! I have had two chalazions in the last six weeks in my lower lid. Thank you!
Does warm compress and massage help cure the chalazion?
I have 2 in my eyelid đ
How long did it take bc Iâve had this in my eye since October
What do you did to your chalazions and got rid of them?
@@TheofficialJbars did u get rid of it and how?
Found your video less then 24 hours ago. Have had issues with blepharitis, styes, chalazions for years and years and used to take medication to reduce the styes/chalazion as was never shown proper eyelid massage technique.....did your technique and my sore lumpy eyelids are almost back to normal again. Had 3 styes on my left eyelid which are now almost gone. Thank you SO much!
How are you now
Dr Eye is so helpful and explains symptoms and treatments so well.
Thank you sooooo much. I had been suffering with a really bad stye. My GP just recommended warm compress but it was getting worse for about a week. After seeing your video I got the moist eye mask,massaged, washed with baby shampoo and 2 days later I was 80% improved. Great information!
Hey :) whatâs the moist eye mask?
Also, I would be interested in details about washing with baby shampoo. I've heard about that before, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to be used.
This is exactly what Iâve been looking for. I suffer from very dry eyes and currently have a few chalazion. I will be doing these exercises.
Any update ?
Very helpful. My eye doctor recommended this but it really helped to see your demonstration. I believe it helps my dry eyes.
Thank you for the awesome videos on eye health. Best resource on CZcams by far
I bought a dry compress for my my style and it is helping. Thank you for your advice.
Happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing. đđť
I have a stye, and Iâve been doing the warm compresses literally all day long. My eye dr mentioned lid massages today, so here I am to see how. Thanks so much!!
Did it go away?
I have one right now
@@estefanidye5438did urs go awau
@@awhkai I also got medication for it so yes
I suffer from dry eye syndrome and i have recently acquired a Chazilion, hence this explanation of massaging the eyelid was of interest to me Thank you for your explanation process.
Thank you Doctor. Confined to being home. Two days ago, a stye started developing in the upper right eyelid. Very puffy, red, and doing the treatments as per your videos. Can't wait until it drains and my eye looks normal again. Of course, this happens when I was supposed to do an important Zoom video-meeting. Thanks again for the information.
that shirt and tie look FANTASTIC on you. THanks for all the information Dr. Allen!!!
Thanks Chris! I should maybe wear it tomorrow then!

@@deepjyotibaishya7576 you are not funny
This was very informative and helped me understand what is happening. Thank you Dr!!
Thanks, doctor. My saviour for my dry eyes.
Eye Health QOTD: đ´ What are you using warm compresses for? Dry Eyes? A stye or chalazion?
Mesenteric dysfunction, which has bothered me for a year.
My glands are totally blocked so dry eye. I also have borderline glaucoma
Would this assist in scar healing of incisions around the eye?
I think it's dry eyes? That's what the optometrist thinks, at least. I have to blink a lot, and I have major redness. It's far worse in the mornings. I'm kind of at a loss, though. Even seeing an ophthalmologist wasn't that helpful. Maybe I'm just skeptical that massages will fix my redness and over-blinking problems...
Dry eyes, and Recurrent Corneal Erosions. I do eyelid massage and drops but haven't done compress in a while.
Can you do a video on corneal erosion? Or even just regular non-recurring corneal abrasions.
Omg thank you!!! This is the most helpful eyelid massage video I have ever watched! Leant so much from this video
Happy you liked it!
Andrea W learned
@@KIWIKIMI14 learnt is actually a good Scrabble word...it was just misspelled!
Gregory Mann itâs learned. Not learnt. Thatâs what I insinuated.
Hi, i had a stye this morning on my lower eye lid and as soon as i did the massage it drained thank you so much for this video.
I appreciate your demonstration of eye massage. I was not shown the proper way to do it so that the eyeball isn't damaged. I will begin using this technique for dry eyes and occasional styes.
I have dry eyes and was told by my doctor to use a compress and message the eyelids. Thank you for showing me the best ways to do this!!
You are so welcome! Hope it helps!
I have dry eyes now for on and off 12 years it flares up every so often when you say in your video don't over do the compresses and massage would once in the morning and once at night be OK for regular cleaning after my eyes go back to normal or once a day or every other day its just I don't want this to come back by not doing maintenance thank you for your help
My eye doctor seemed to be very helpful throughout an examination, including a flashing LED camera that determined half my glands were 'lying down, or dead'. All seemed straightforward, but then he suggested a $1150 treatment, reduced to $795, for the express purpose of expressing my Meibomian Glands, and talked me into a medical credit card with zero interest for 9 months, then 29.5% interest on the unpaid balance after that. I employed your techniques, with the same feeling of healthy expressed eyelids, comparable to the 20 minute expression/suction machine I paid 3/4 of a grand for. I understand professional courtesy in the various industries, but as an engineer I am also used to 'second opinions'. What say you? And thank you for your well thought out, filmed and edited videos, Jon.
Hey Jon. Thanks for your amazing comment. Happy your enjoying the channel. I have had the lipiflow done myself and it is one of the only/ best treatments available for severe MGD. There is also the Ilux device...which is about half the price as the Lipiflow. But yes...its expensive. But honestly, if those treatments were free. I would recommend them for almost everyone.
This was very helpful, thank you! I have chronic dry eyes due to clogged glands. My eye doctor told me to use a warm compress, massage my eyelids, and use a tree tree oil cleanser, followed by a lubricant eye drops.
Thanks for posting this! Iâm doing eye massages in advance of a LASIK treatment. itâs supposed to help my eyes heal better
I wish, someone had told me about this 10 years ago. Thatâs, how long Iâve been suffering from chronic dry eye and all they ever told me, was to use eyedrops - which work for about 10 min, tops. THANK YOU đ
@Tommy Harris
Ahhh...unfortunately not. I had such high hopes.
I've looked into this some more and unfortunately, it seems, that these glands can also just stop working period, not just clog up.
But go ahead and try it...it's a valid treatment, it could very well work for you, even if it didn't for me.
Tommy Harris
Well, luckily the climate is very moderate here in Germany...we donât really have airconditioning and there are no long, severe winters, either....that makes it easier to deal with. I donât wear contact lenses anymore, obviously...I try to be consistent with applying eyedrops during daytime, because the dryness (even if bearable), can lead to damage on your cornea over time.
Unfortunately, dryness at night, has increasingly become a problem, lately. I tried wearing an eye mask, to make sure, my eyes are tightly closed during the night...didnât really help. I tried wearing swimming googles. That did actually help, but was very uncomfortable.
Now, Iâm considering, getting used to waking up every 2 or 3 hours, to apply eyedrops. Maybe in conjunction with one of those sleep cycle measuring devices, to try and not wake up during deep sleep. I mean, we almost wake up anyway, several times a night, naturally. It should be possible, to time it in a way, that doesnât impede sleep quality too much.
I just think, my eyes would feel much better overall, if they could get proper rest during the night.
Iâm also taking high dose fish oil capsules, amounting to 3000mg of fish oil or 450mg of DHA a day (in Trygliceride form), as per another of these videos. Iâm on week 4 now and itâs supposed to take 6 weeks, to take effect, if it does. I think, Iâm noticing a small improvement, but canât say for sure, yet. There have always been fluctuations with my symptoms - possibly due to hormones and stuff.
@Tommy Harris
Thanks. Just write again in a couple of weeks, if you want an update.
@@raraavis7782 I think that is my problem (stopped working) after my cataract surgery. So many help-aids were recommended. No luck. Ironically, without knowing it, I have been doing expressing for years. Not the correct way, but I use my fingers to "scrape" the sand off my eyes. It's a constant ritual. Maddening.

My doctor recommended to wash with baby shampoo after the hot compresses and it helps
I had no idea this was a thing. I was looking for relief from reoccurring styes in my left eye. Thanks for the great info. Daph

Does the massaging help
I only start to feel relief after watching you video. You are so helpful. Thank you đ
Really appreciate that you get to the point with great explanation. You do not ramble on with ums, long pauses etc. While listening I was doing squirts & gentle massage my eyes feel so loose & hydrated already. Dry eyes are so bothersome! Tks!! I've suscribed
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much! I am always still trying to improve my speech skills (I notice some words I tend to use a lot and even some ums...and ahhhs.) lol.
This process was recommended by my doctor for declogging the oil glands causing my extremely dry eyes.Thank fo the great video.
Did it help cuz I canât freaking keep my eyes open for more than 4 seconds
@@tmissyjeogiyomuljomjuseyo1992 Since you have extremely dry eyes, it would be best to see an eye doctor that takes a closer look into your eyes to see what else could be causing you not to be able to open your eyes due to the feeling of dryness. Something as simple as allergies can create dry eyes. Sometimes there needs to be more along with eye massage which your doctor can share with you to get the oils flowing so you can do the eye massage. I was also suggested to take Omega oils for dry eyes which have helped, again check with your eye doctor.
Iâm also gonna use this technique of eye massage. Which brand of warm compressor do you use? What actually helped you while taking treatment for dry eye. Iâm suffering since 1 year.
Nirup Barnum, it might sound like a daft question, but should I see some evidence that the oil is being released. I did get the blurred vision, but nothing else.
Were you able to completely get rid of dry eyes or just the symptoms were low?
Just found you. Love your content. Thank you
Also Iâm here for my dry eyes.
Glad you found the channel! I hope to have much more content around dry eyes soon! Any specific questions I can help with?
Thankyou so much for this video. You have given me so much relief!!
This really helps and feels great on one's eyes!!! Thank You, @DoctorEyeHealth!!!
I have a stye on my right top eyelid and itâs super painful to the touch. When I done this massage it didnât hurt at all and I can already feel a difference. Been doing a warm compress and keeping it clean and also using stye relief drops for the itching and pain. Thank you for your help!!
I also have a stye on my eyelid and it's getting really swollen and it's painful as well, did yours get the swollen downs with the massage? Or did it go away faster?
I have a chalazion. It has lingered for too long. My opthamologist told me to put warm compresses several times a day and to massage my lid afterwards.
I wish I had seen your videos quite done time ago. I would have learned then the proper way to care for my chalazion and most likely would now be rid of it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos and explain everything so clearly.
Meg Shepard I am in the same situation. I suffered for two weeks thinking I had an eye strain before seeing an ophthalmologist who told me it was a chalazion. The compress and massage seemed to help a bit but now I have the same discomfort in my other eye. My symptoms affect my daily life, whatâs it like for you?
Fantastic demonstration of this technique, many thanks đ
Super helpful. I just came across your channel today, I really appreciate all this good educational information. Iâve had dry eyes, and your video just now taught me how to properly do eyelid massages. ( Have been doing it incorrectly all this time.) Thank you so much for doing these videos. I was excited to find that you practice in MN, as I live in MN too. I may have to schedule a visit to come see you. Anyway, Iâll keep watching your videos and taking advantage of all this good information. Please keep making these videos⌠so helpful!

How is your dry eye
I did the upper eyelids while watching rhe video. One at a time, obviously. It actually felt really good.
This video is amazing,did the eye massage and my vision is sooo good.Ive tried all sorts drops and warm compresses will keep doing this on a daily bases.Thank you.
Wonderful!
suffering from styes in both eyes this helped a lot thank you!!
Did it work?
I am so frustrated! I have had Sjogren's and zero tears made for well over 20 years. WHY HAS NO DOCTOR OF MINE EVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS??? It seems for anyone with dry eyes, this should be one thing we are told about early on! Thank GOD for the Doctor that did my exam, at America's Best in Ann Arbor, MI. She is the ONLY one who told me about using warm compresses and eyelid massage., just yesterday. I have already tried a session before bed and looking forward to using this to help preserve eye health as much as possible. After thousands of boxes of eye drops through the years, it will be awesome if this helps.
Thank you for the tutorial!
All your videos are excellent. I never had an eye doctor tell me any important information đâ¤ď¸
This was so so helpful, I have had two chalazions on my bottom right lid for almost 6 months, and I have been not touching them at all and just doing heat compresses, but it hasnât been doing much. Hopefully massaging my lids will finally get rid of them!
hows it going
Any update ?
Hey, just sopped by to tell you that you Sir have helped me A LOOOOT!!
I've been struggling with dry eye for 4 months now, i've seen an eye doctor, he gave me some drops which didn't help at all!!
Did your thing... Man oh man!! The difference is HUUUGGGE!!! I am so much better now, thanks to you!!!
Cheers from Portugal.
Recomend it!!!!!!!
What did you follow exactly
Thank you for this video! I will try this method. I have dry eyes and I rub my eyes without noticing all the time, especially in early mornings and during the evenings. My wife keeps telling me to stop but it itches so much! I hope your method will alleviate the itching.
Itâs rarely rare that I feel a need to comment on a video but I wanted to tell you that your channel is lovely. Itâs like coming to see a friend whoâs non-judgemental and jovial and yes, I would like a cup of tea!
Since MS/Lupus/Sjogrenâs diagnoses (plus scarring from ocular shingles a couple of years ago) Iâve found loads of really condescending advice and it is driving me slowly bananas.
Thatâs not a problem anymore though now Iâve found your channel. I feel reassured and like I have some level of BS detector.
Thank you Dr Allen! You are fabulous.
So much for the "Never EVER rub your eyes/only rub your eyes with your elbows" Mantra.
I thought the elbow was the only thing in the ear.
I never even knew we had glands in our eye lids till I watched one of your videos about these glands. Fascinating stuff. I really like all the information you give in your videos. I have learned so much from watching them. Many thanks. â_â
Thank you for watching and the awesome feedback!
Kathryn Wesley same
Same here! Until I had mgd
Such a good explanation, I have dry eyes plus irritation and little âulcersâ on the edge of my lower lids.
Thank you so much! I have symptoms of blepharitis plus watery eyes from suspected hayfever and chronic sinus so I am miserable. My lids are crusty, red, cracking & bleeding. Thank you so much for this video. I'm going to try to do some eye lymphatic massage gently working down my jaw/neck first to get things flowing then, this. I have a feeling this is going to be very helpful! Thank you kindly!
Super helpful, thank you! I was told to do eyelid massage by an optometrist but his demo was 2 seconds long so I had to look it up - luckily I found your video! Also, I saw my ophthalmologist today and apparently I have viral conjunctivitis. I have MGD and dry eyes (I'm 69). Is it ok to do the warm compresses and massage with this condition or should I wait until it has cleared up? Thanks.
Why are you a better doctor than my optimologist
Well thank you đ I'm sure your doctor is very good, perhaps they just struggle communicating? I am far from perfect and do not know everything, but I do try to improve on what I don't know. Thanks for your support!
This video helped so much with my eye dry ... bad enough I have floaters. I bought the Bruder Mask but while I waited for delivery (BTW; thank you for the 10% off discount code); I used two warmed round cotton wipes and massaged away! I also washed my eyelids/lashes with tea tree shampoo ... I noticed improvement in just a few hours. Thank you for helping out people who aren't even your paying customers, but I hope giving you a đhelps!
Thank you so much.. i learnt more from this than 2 apts at the doc, 4 or 5 at the optometrist & one at the ophthalmologist
My Dr prescribed me this eye mask and massages as well as eye scrubs for dry eye from Sjogrens. It really helps! She also has me take fish oil 3x day and use artificial tears.
Sounds like your doctor knows their stuff. How long have you had the Sjogrens?
@@DoctorEyeHealth Hi! I have had it for two years! Yes my opthalmologist is great, helps me with my autoimmune dry eyes and also does my Plaquenil eye tests too.
@@TheProseRose Oh nice! How long have you been on the Plaquenil?
I have been on Plaquenil for about 1.5 years. It helps me alot.
What do you mean take fish oil??
