In this video I will talk about dry eye disease and its treatment. Common symptoms of dry eye disease include dryness, irritation, foreign body sensation, redness, tearing and itchiness. There are two causes of dry eye, not having enough tear volume, or having too much tear evaporation, the latter being the main cause of dry eye and mostly due to Meibomian gland dysfunction. I will discuss over the counter and at home remedies for dry eye treatment, including lid hygiene, warm compress, artificial tears. I will talk about nutritional supplement, specifically, omega-3 to help dry eye symptoms. A variety of devices can also help dry eye, including moisture goggles, lipiflow, intense pulsed light therapy, punctal plugs, neurostimulation device and scleral lenses. I will talk about the FDA-approved medication eye drops for dry eye, including Restasis, Cequa and Xiidra. And autologous serum eye drops for severe dry eye.

Finally a safe line of cosmetics for eyes

Finally a safe line of cosmetics for those of you who have dry eye or wear contact lenses!
When you wear any eye cosmetics, mascara, eye liner, eye shadows, etc, these inevitably get into your eyes and I can see them in your tears, on your cornea and conjunctiva when you come in for eye exams. There are dozens of ingredients commonly used in cosmetics that will damage your cornea, your meibomian glands, get absorbed onto your contact lenses and cause irritation. I’ve been advising my dry eye patients and especially those who wear contact lenses to stay away from cosmetics, because of their accumulative toxic effects on the ocular surface. I feel bad that my patients cannot enjoy good, comfortable vision and look beautiful at the same time.

But no longer! My long-time colleagues (and experts on dry eye) have developed a brand new line of eye cosmetics, banning the common toxic ingredients found in mainstream cosmetics, using a formula that has been tested by ophthalmologists and dermatologists to be safe and well tolerated by people who have dry eye and who wear contact lenses.
So now I’m happy to let my patients know that you can finally be healthy and beautiful at the same time.
