Can't wait until the price of these lower! Would be great for more people to be able to get these
"Drive a ship" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When it comes to these types of sunglasses, people either love or hate them. You could almost say that the public is completely polarized! 😂
Thank you. Was worried about my red eye. I have been coughing very badly for over a week. Thanks again
What percentage of people with red hair has green eyes?
You make me want to be a better person… thank you
I'll look for green and blue in women... But if it fits the hair colour, everything fits
I love Walmart optical the warranty and price and its great quality for cheap prices
Can amber eyes have a mixture of 2 colors? My eyes look almost identical to the eyes in your photo for amber eyes, but you can see there are two colors showing in that image. I’ve never really known my true eye color because although they do not have any green in them, they do have two colors, so maybe hazel.?
Put castor oil full strength for Blepharitis on upper eye lid??
I couldn’t wear progressive lens and returned to my old myopic lens as I couldn’t drive with those. That peripheral distortion made me crazy.
I really want to improve my eyesight. Specs are making it only worse, i thought specs will improve but it's not. So I'm gonna yse these tips from now on and wait to remove my glasses completely. Thanks a lot Doctor. I'm gonna keep you as my personal eye doctor🥰
Please share a link of what I should order for my dry eyes, it hurts, ty!
When I become angry a startling metamorphosis occurs, my eye turn greenish-white and my skin turns green 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
I have lupus and my eyelashes are turning up into my eye and hard eyelashes with eyes closed with swelling and it makes this liquid with oily buildup.and im having vision problems ❤
Thank you, dragging the lense to the side then pinching really works
You're not tricking me into sitting infront of a big ass neuralizer. Nice try!
Last time i had my eyes dilated it took like 7 hours for it yo go back to normal
Thank you very much 👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice. I had a cataract removed and had a corrective lens inserted. Floaters are gone but the doctor said the surgery does not affect floaters.
Ah! But cataract does change your focus! Light my be refracted differently inside the eye and maybe that’s why you don’t notice as much
What if someone is legally blind with their left eye they see nothing with that eye would that qualify them for disability benefits?
Do aquarium LED lights damage your eyes?
Hard to say. Probably not great to state at them directly. It depends on the energy of the light. Have you ever looked up the safety sheets of the product?
@@DoctorEyeHealth I haven't bought them yet. I didn't even know they carry any sort of safety sheet.
Started having them 3 month ago, lasts from 15 minutes to 1 hour, both eyes, happenend 6 or 7 times already. I'm 28 Yo. No headaches, saw two ophtalmologists, no problems in my eyes. Got a cerebral RMI, perfect brain too (thanks god) So the diagnositc is set : migraine with aura without headaches. Really a strange phenomenon. And fucking scary the first few times it happens. Seems to be linked to stress and fatigue.
Same here! Stress and not getting enough sleep
They help me. I feel the strain off my eyes when I wear them on the computer.
Happy to hear that!!! What brand do you like use??
I've got very light blue/gray eyes and I am photophobic. I am autistic and I also have migraines, but the migraines started way later than the sensitivity and eye pain.
Just found this video. I'm scheduled for cataract surgery in 3 days. I had prior Lasik, and doctor says I should have only monofocal lens. Wish I could try the light changing IOL - yes, more work, more expense, but 20 yrs without glasses has been wonderful - I don't want to wear glasses. I will have to wear Readers and I do very close work with stitching (I am a seamstress). I only have Health Savings - so even with a self-pay discount this surgery is costing $8200. Ouch. I was told I could wait 3 more years til Medicare will pay. I find that sad - that if the Government pays I can "afford" it - but out of pocket I get standard lens and it is still very costly. Just stating some comments for my care.
Hey thank you for sharing!! Yes, the cost of things can be tough and insurance is an odd game. Happy to hear your had such great success with the Lasik. Did you do mono vision with the lasik too?
Yes - I had monovision with the Lasik. I didn't ask for it - but it is what I ended up with. It took a while for me to get used to - but eventually did very well with it. The surgeon said they will do abt - 1.25 or - 1.50 - I will be slightly near sighted, but will have vision for cellphone, computer and vehicle dashboard. Reading glasses for the up close stuff. I can see very tiny print at the moment with a distortion (my cataract is congenital and in the middle of the lens. The distortion has become enough that I struggle to see well out of my right eye.
Thank you very helpful
Glad it helped!!
Castor oil 💛 Try it on you bellybutton too ower the night and then comment here ☝Eyelashes are longer and agespots are gone 😋
Hi Doctor. This is so interesting. We used to make castor oil in Colombia. Only organic, this is before organic was named that. It grows natural and everywhere. Castor Oil was one of those things that if you didn't have it home, you didn't have a home. It was a medication, a cosmetic, a pain killer, anti histaminic and an all purpose substance. We used it all over our bodies without any hesitation. Fresh pressed and stored in a glass recipient in dark and cool place, it provided comfort to our parents just knowing it was there.
Wow thanks for sharing that!!!!
So it’s basically an off-center progressive bifocal, with the center calibrated to your natural foveal resting position. Neat, I’d still buy it if my insurance covered more than like 10% of the price.
I find the headlights on the Subaru cars to be extremely uncomfortable as an oncoming driver
Haha I have heard that from a lot of viewers
Want to make this problem go away ?? Pass strict laws regulating the intensity and adjustment of these headlights and most importantly hold the manufacturers liable for the use of their product !!
I often get a red laser flash shooting down rapidly when turn my vision to the right corner sometimes. It is difficult enough to explain this to a doctor.
👍
May I know what lens do you use in your video? Is it Transitions or not a photocromic lens since it's quite clear?
Which one? For this video, the frames/ lenses worn are the ones shown during each chapter
How do you take them out?
I think my eyes are Hazel because some people see it as Brown and others as Green. The rarest colour I have seen was yellow! Yellow eyes very unique ! My father had greed eyes, My sister Has green eyes... What am I happy about? My vision is great! And I think the most of us want a very functional eye sight!
Im your 4.2K like!❤
The you!!!! 🙏🙏
Poor diet and sleep deprivation.
Low blood pressure and hormonal imbalance???? could mess with your eyes. Is this true doctor???
100 percent
my eyes are blue-ish green, with gold-ish brown rings around my pupils (hazel?), and the outer quarter/third-ish sector of my left eye is dark brown (sectoral heterochromia). …so where do I rank?
Is the eye drops to use for this
There are low dose atropine drops, several case reports on using it for symptoms but it ultimately does not cure the presence of floaters, only reduces symptoms for some people
I have always wondered why eye doctors tell you to wear your distance glasses all day, every day, EVEN when doing close up work. What is the reason for this if people who are nearsighted can see up close?
Some people can take off the distance glasses but it depends on the status/ pull of the eye muscles. For myself, I’m so nearsighted that if I take my glasses off, or don’t wear my contact lenses, then I can see things up close near my face but to keep things single I have to close my eyes. Otherwise I go cross- eyed and start to see double .
Thanks for your response! Is it true that using glasses for up close work, if you are nearsighted, can make your myopia worse?
Zenni lenses online are the greatest! Mine were accurate! $16, $39, and $68. 2 pairs of regular prescription with anti glare and blue block, and 1 pair of sunglasses with blue block and uv block…all 3 for a little over $100! I will never go anywhere else to get glasses!
Happy to hear you are loving them!
I use DESIO the best Italian brand
