My doctor here in Mexico recommended AquaDran Gel after cataract surgery. I've had dry eyes for years but it was really severe after the surgery. I use the AquaDran at nighttime and find I need to use eye drops a lot less during the day, it has really made a difference.

great video Dr. Allen!! I had cataract surgery a year ago and have suffered with dry eye ever since. Miserable!! I ordered Systane Hydration PF which has the active ingredient Polyethylene Glycol and it has changed my life!!!! No other eye drop has helped my condition. For some reason, this one is my Cinderella's slipper. My comfort level is dramatically better!! No more mucus strings and irritation. I thought all OTC eye drops were going to give basically the same outcome. Lesson learned. It is trial and error. Thanks to you, I tried a new one. Changed my life!!! Thank you Dr. Allen 🥰

Loved this! My previous optometrist suggested I use drops for dry eyes when I’m using screens a lot but only told me to avoid ‘red eye’ formulas. I bought some drops and experienced irritation and worsening symptoms so I went back to the pharmacy and bought something else that had different ingredients. Lo and behold I just checked the ingredients and I switched from a product containing benzalkonium chloride to a product containing polyethylene glycol and sodium hyaluronate. I knew I had an improvement and now I know why.

I was experiencing a lot of blurry vision and discomfort for around two months. I went to the doctor and recommended the Refresh Omega 3, Systane (complete) and a gel (think Systane). I bought all three. Both these two eye drops would make me feel discomfort in the eyes. Would help for a few minutes with my blurry vison. The gel was totally awful. I would feel a little pressure and even dryness during blinking. I bought Ivizia eye drops in Walmart for around $10.00. It is very good. But would work better in the beginning. One thing that I noticed of this one is that I do not feel discomfort. Ivizia helped with blurry vision but then not that much. I stopped using eye drops altogether. My blurry vision has improved. But I still often have red eyes. I noticed that hard water was affecting my vision as well. . I cleaned my faucet that was partially clogged. Just leave the faucet for two hours submerged in vinegar. There are plenty of videos on youtube on how to clean them. Now that my vision is practically back to normal I will try Ivizia again. I feel that might still be suffering from dry eyes.

For dry, "computer-stressed" eyes, I used Bausch & Lomb with blue label (or the CVS knockoff). No fancy ingredients, and this one always soothed my eyes. I've not used drops in some while, so I'll double check next time I buy as these may have that preservative you mentioned.

@durban6276 Ай бұрын

I recently had cataract surgery and opted for light adjustable lens, which require several follow-up visits. Turns out I have MGD and had a difficult time getting accurate readings on my vision. The Retaine nighttime ointment is great at bedtime, with the added benefit of blurry vision: you can’t use your technology. Like the doctor, Systane Hydration formula is my favorite for normal use. I will also be trying out Blink soon to see how it works for my MGD. Tip for users new to eyedrops: if you want preservative free (PF), the single dose is easy to use since the little PF bottles are next to impossible to squeeze. How I used the entire bottle required pre-op without stabbing my eyes….. Thanks for the info about ingredients. I never could find a chart somewhere that compared ingredients with uses, across brands. Just trying to differentiate Systane formulations was impossible.

I've been trying out Ivizia eye drops (8 hour relief) for about a week now, and while they don't seem to solve all my dry eye problems, at least yet, I am impressed with them. When i first used eyedrops i just never used them frequently because they were the cheap ones and seemed to make irritation worse. These ones seem to last for me legitimately all day, significantly longer than 8 hours; I also think they might be lasting more than 24 hours, because I have been waking up and feel the sticky sensation like the eyedrop has been in. Seemed slightly concerning to me, but maybe im just imagining that part. I suppose that would be a good thing if they did last that long anyways. Appreciate the recommendation as well as the drops being a reasonable price

@RinTV2 3 ай бұрын

The iVIZIA lubricant eye GEL for severe/night dry eyes work very well for me. I do not close my eyes all the way at night so I use a weighted satin mask I purchased on Amazon that helps keep my eyes closed. The gel comes in preservative free single use vials. I also use the gel drops in the evening after a day of computer use and that can help too. I do not find this gel gummy etc. just blurred vision for about 5 minutes. Remember everyone’s experience can be different. I really appreciate your videos Dr. Allen!

Super helpful and detailed video, thank you. I have tried some products listed and will try new ones as well. Good to know I probably should go back to the ointment now using a CPAP regularly. Word of caution about that blink drops with PEG: PEG, being almost ubiquitous in many health, household and medical medical products, but people can be sensitive to that product even allergic. In addition, anyone having little crystals causing irritation or itchiness around the eyes may get aggravated with that product. It is related to Crystal oxalates.

I’ve had severe chronic dry eye for about 10 years now, starting when I was around 14/15. Where I’m from, Twin Cities, MN, the winters can get quite dry and exacerbate my symptoms. It is absolutely true that dry eye is very complex and full of numerous different factors. At least for me, discovering TheraTears (primarily the single-use vials) changed my life. I also just recently began using Ivizia which I’ve found compliments TheraTears eye drops very nicely for my eyes. No burning sensations and longer lasting than other eye drops. Using these along with consistent, daily warm eye compresses at night have helped tremendously. 😊

So far, the Optase Advanced is working pretty well. The eye drops my eye doctor prescribed , however, had a crystalline contamination or precipitation ... I assume that one of the dissolved chemicals fell out of solution. Shaking the bottle did not seem to help. (That product was made in France, as I recall, and they did have a recall on some of their products for that exact issue). I am still shopping for the ideal solution for me ... I am probably not dosing often enough. I will try some of the products you have mentioned in your video and will dose 1 to 2 times more per day to see if that helps.

I purchased the iVizia eye drops last week. They had a $3 off coupon on their website. I apparently keep scratching my cornea in my left eye because my eyelid does not close all the way at night when sleeping. So I put a drop or two into that eye at night before bed. I use to use the Blink Gel Tears but they were messy and blurred my vision in that eye. I have never seen the Optase in my area. I will see how the iVizia drops work so far so good but it has only been a few days. I think they are on the pricey side but post Covid they all are expensive. Some of these eye products are $20-$40 at the drug store.

I’m on Restasis, but in all honesty, I cannot see and or feel any difference in the symptoms of chronic dry eyes. How do you feel about Restasis? I for sure am going to look for Ivizia. Currently I have been using Thera Tears for dry eyes. But as soon as I go out in the cold, my eyes start tearing and burning. So I assume, the natural oils and lubrication of my eyes are evaporating? Thank you so much as you are always so helpful. Also, I have a Rx for Alrex for chronic inflammation. I do not use these all the time.

The eyedrop Miebo by Bausch and Lomb is excellent! It helps to increase evaporation of the aqueous portion of the tears; however, unless you have good insurance coverage, it is prohibitively expensive; for example, with my insurance plan, the cost for a 30 day supply is over $300! It is available from European countries as OTC, and believe it or not costs only $15-20 there! Unfortunately, I have tried to order from a few countries, including UK and Germany and they will not ship to the US😢; my advice is that if you are planning to visit any European country is to buy some there: it is sold under several OTC names like Evo Tears and Hycosan Shield for less than $20

I’ve tried many of the eye drops you’ve recommended and I’m currently using Systane Complete PF and Refresh Digital PF. They do help but I’m always on the lookout for something new. I’m going to try iVIZIA and Optase. I frequently order my eye drops from Amazon to save money. Do you think there’s any safety issues with that? The topics you discuss have been very educational and helpful and I look forward to all of your videos! Thank you!❤

@DoctorEyeHealth 3 ай бұрын

Hey thank you! I don't think there is anything wrong with ordering off of Amazon but you do just need to be aware that some bad people make fake imitators of eye drops and other medications. Always buy from a trusted source and check your bottles when you get them.

@Stan888 @larryjones9773 0 seconds ago You can get EvoTears from Europe for a 98% savings. EvoTears is the same as Miebo, and it's over the counter in Europe. Last week, my eye doctor approved my use of EvoTears in place of Miebo. I live in the U.S. My insurance had approved me for Miebo, as I had tried and failed with Restasis. Shortly, thereafter, I learned of EvoTears, which is a game changer for me. I was on Tyrvaya for 1.5 years, but I started getting sinus headaches, so Miebo was approved in the U.S. just in time for me. Miebo cost is $834, while EvoTears is $17. I've been on Miebo/EvoTears since November 2023.

I have developed dry eyes after taking antihistamines. My eyes get alot better when i stop, but they dont seem to fully heal, and are really irritated . My doc just tells me to take antihistamines, but i have tried several and they all dry out my eyes. Really at a loss for what to do... Thank you for your vids, at least they give some inspiration and insight.

Hey Doc! In a past video from three years ago, you recommended Pataday eyedrops for allergy symptoms and they contain contain the BAK preservative. They were new at the time. Should I just discontinue use of those? I don’t personally use them but my son and husband do. Thank you for your time!!

@DoctorEyeHealth 3 ай бұрын

I think it depends on how frequently someone uses them. Once in awhile is fine but chronic use is the concern. There is also preservative free Alaway. That’s an option

@beckyjgregory 3 ай бұрын

⁠⁠@@DoctorEyeHealththank you for the reply!!🙌 I couldn’t find those online but instead came across some posts on Reddit of people upset because they were recently discontinued😩 I think I’m gonna keep the Pataday on hand for occasional use. However with allergy season coming early this year and my son starting tennis season, he is wanting to use them a couple times a day… so I’m gonna try Optase Allegro drops (they are the only allergy eye drops I can find without BAK) and hope they help him. You should develop a line of eye drops and include preservative free allergy drops because there seems to be a gap in the market! Not to mention your vast knowledge on the subject. I would buy!!

My dry eyes are largely due to climate and chronic illness that interferes with my ability to stay hydrated even with regular infusions. Added to that i wear rgp lenses. I frequently wake in the night with my eyelids stuck to my eyes and i have to use my fingers to unstick them - yeah that hurts. I use a nighttime gel, steam masks, frequent daily drops.. systane pe mostly. I feel like a hamster on a wheel getting nowhere fast. I'm excited to hear of some new brands/types of drops; maybe there's hope for me yet!

If possible to ask a question -- Did I understand you correctly that you use the iVizia drops regularly or daily? I bought this brand yesterday (the same drops you show here, not the gel) and noticed the package info implies you shouldn't use them for more than a few days. Just want to be sure I won't be making things worse.
