Artificial tears are generally the FIRST thing patients with dry eye reach for. But do they even help? In today’s video we’ll go over artificial tears and whether or not they’re helping or hurting your eye! And whether they are assisting your dry eye issues at all? #DryEye #DryEyeDoc #DryEyeDisease 📝 Take this dry eye quiz! https://dryeyeinfo.care/?affid=60eeb898b9910 💻 Check out my website: drmelaniedenton.com ⏱️ Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 01:09 Dry Eye Tracker 01:46 How artificial tears help: comfort 02:45 How artificial tears help: clarity 03:51 Special message ❤️ 03:59 How artificial tears CAN'T help: inflammation 04:48 How artificial tears CAN'T help: meibomian gland dysfunction 05:41 How artificial tears CAN'T help: demodex 06:17 Summary When you’re treating dry eyes it’s important to use a combination of different therapies in order to improve quality of life and symptoms. While I tend to favor newer interventional treatments over the older options like artificial tears, it’s important to recognize when artificial tears can help a patient. Undoubtedly artificial tears are a piece of a dry eye treatment regimen. But it’s important to understand what they’re good at and what they’re not, so you have reasonable expectations of your daily Dry Eye routine. Remember they're wonderful for making your eye feel better as well as see better in a very short term setting. However, you must consider how to get inflammation under control, how to clear gland obstruction, and how to deal with the overpopulation of Demodex mites on your eye if that is an issue for you. #DryEyes #DryEyeIsReal #DryEyeTherapy #DryEyeSyndrome #DryEyesAffectLives #ByeByeDryEye #DryEyeDrops #DryEyesHomeRemedies #DryEyesTreatment #DryEyeTreatment 📚 Research Links: Review of AFT’s https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/23/5/2434 Optical Quality https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12886-022-02280-7 2022 Update https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2788545?casa_token=ddyVHQeS-XgAAAAA:I2k6QSZZtmIEbvnmGIlvdhUwv01QF_oLYKiJGZoBjDILGGah-rPsHQNKpiPr012Ezp8ihsMU9A 🔗 Affiliate Links: 💄 Eyes Are The Story (Makeup and skincare): https://eyesarethestory.com/eyethinkican 🧴 We Love Eyes affiliate code "eyethinkican" can be used at https://www.weloveeyes.com/ 👀 Dry Eye Rescue affiliate code "drdenton10" can be used at https://dryeyerescue.com/ 🧼 Hylawipe (Dry eye at-home solutions): https://www.tearrestore.com/?ref=melaniedenton 💡 Celluma affiliate code "#75618" can be used at https://www.celluma.com/ 🛒Shop my Amazon Storefront at https://www.amazon.com/shop/eyeschoolwithdr.d 🙏 Thank you so much for tuning into our channel! 🔔 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!

I recently ran across an article in Self magazine that I thought was great called “5 signs your Dry Eye Treatment isn’t working for you.” Because dry eye is what we do here on this channel, I thought it would be fun to go through the article and give you my take on each of their thoughts as an Optometrist & dry eye specialist. #DryEye #DryEyes #DryEyeDoc 📝 Learn more about dry eye by taking this quiz! https://dryeyeinfo.care/?affid=60eeb898b9910 💻 Check out my website: drmelaniedenton.com ⏱️ Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:00 Summary So I love the idea behind this article because Dry Eye treatment can truly be so complex with so many options that it’s very easy to become overwhelmed, unsure which step to take, and it’s important to get a good sense of what has worked for you and what isn’t working so that you and your doctor can tailor your treatment to your eyes. Ultimately, your dry eye treatment needs to work for you. It’s important that it makes a positive impact on your quality of life and day to day activities. Make sure to check out the original article in South magazine. I loved it and I think they take a great approach to walking you through what you should and should not expect with your Dry Eye treatment. And of course, if you feel that your Dry Eye treatment is not working well for you make sure to take notes and take those to your doctor so that a better treatment plan can be implemented. #DryEyeIsReal #DryEyeTherapy #DryEyeSyndrome #DryEyesAffectLives #ByeByeDryEye #DryEyeDrops #DryEyeDisease #DryEyesHomeRemedies #DryEyesTreatment #DryEyeTreatment 📚 Research Links: https://www.self.com/story/signs-dry-eye-treatment-isnt-working https://parkslopeeye.com/why-eye-drops-with-preservatives-are-bad-for-dry-eye/ https://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/dryeye.htm 🔗 Affiliate Links: 💄 Eyes Are The Story (Makeup and skincare): https://eyesarethestory.com/eyethinkican 🧴 We Love Eyes affiliate code "eyethinkican" can be used at https://www.weloveeyes.com/ 👀 Dry Eye Rescue affiliate code "drdenton10" can be used at https://dryeyerescue.com/ 🧼 Hylawipe (Dry eye at-home solutions): https://www.tearrestore.com/?ref=melaniedenton 💡 Celluma affiliate code "#75618" can be used at https://www.celluma.com/ 🛒Shop my Amazon Storefront at https://www.amazon.com/shop/eyeschoolwithdr.d 🙏 Thank you so much for tuning into our channel! 🔔 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!

I say over and over on this channel: what goes AROUND your eyes, ends up IN your eyes. And skincare is NO DIFFERENT! So today, let’s discuss the implications of the skincare you’re using AROUND your eyes on your OCULAR SURFACE HEALTH. #OcularSurfaceHealth #SkinCare #DryEye 📝 Take this dry eye quiz! https://dryeyeinfo.care/?affid=60eeb898b9910 💻 Check out my website: drmelaniedenton.com 00:00 Intro 00:45 What you put around your eyes ends up in your eyes 01:54 How makeup and skin care change your tears 03:13 Preservatives in skin care and makeup 005:39 Skin care actives and the eye 06:36 Dyes and fragrance in your products 07:00 Summary The migration of cosmetics and skincare products across the lid margin and into the tear film has long been observed by eye doctors in day to day practice, and recently there have been articles published to back up what we’re seeing clinically. The migration of these products is thought to exacerbate tear film instability and symptoms of dry eye syndrome. In addition, numerous adverse events have been reported with the use of cosmetics around your eye. It has been suggested that the migration of cosmetic products across the eyelid margin may potentially contribute toward an increase in debris within the surface tear film lipid layer, in meibomian gland blockage, and in meibum contamination. The resulting destabilization of the lipid layer can lead to increased tear evaporation and reduced tear film stability in your eye. #OptometristEyeHealth #EyeDoctorExplains #EyeHealth #EyeCare #SkinCare #SkinCareProducts #Eye #Eyes #EyeDoctor #EyeDoc #Optometrist #Optometry 📚 Research Links: Eye Makeup and Dry Eye https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02713683.2021.1966476 Retinol and MGD https://www.pjo.org.pk/index.php/pjo/article/view/866 https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/wk/ecl/2016/00000042/00000004/art00002 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1542012412700319 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6118859/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1367048412000811 🔗 Affiliate Links: 💄 Eyes Are The Story (Makeup and skincare): https://eyesarethestory.com/eyethinkican 🧴 We Love Eyes affiliate code "eyethinkican" can be used at https://www.weloveeyes.com/ 👀 Dry Eye Rescue affiliate code "drdenton10" can be used at https://dryeyerescue.com/ 🧼 Hylawipe (Dry eye at-home solutions): https://www.tearrestore.com/?ref=melaniedenton 💡 Celluma affiliate code "#75618" can be used at https://www.celluma.com/ 🛒Shop my Amazon Storefront at https://www.amazon.com/shop/eyeschoolwithdr.d 🙏 Thank you so much for tuning into our channel! 🔔 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!

Dry Eye disease is incredibly common and can be experienced as anything from mild irritation and tired eyes to debilitating glare and pain in the eyes. There are a ton of new treatments that help a lot, but many of them are expensive. So what are you to do on a budget? In today’s video I’ll give you my best advice for treating dry eye on a budget. #DryEye #DryEyes #DryEyeDoc 📝 Take this dry eye quiz! https://dryeyeinfo.care/?affid=60eeb898b9910 💻 Check out my website: drmelaniedenton.com ⏱️ Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:46 The cost of dry eye disease 01:33 Establish a routine 02:27 Examine your diet 03:06 Drink your water 03:21 What are you putting around your eyes? 03:48 Computer hygiene 04:12 Talk to your insurance 05:55 What not to DIY 07:04 Summary A 2011 study aimed to look at the economic impact of Dry Eye disease treatment in the United States. In the survey their analysis indicated that the average annual cost of managing a patient with Dry eye was $783 from the payers perspective. This puts an overall burden of Dry Eye disease for the US healthcare system at $3.84 billion. Recently newer Dry Eye disease treatments are proving to be even more expensive and not covered by insurance, thus putting the cost burden on the patient for Dry Eye disease. In this video I hope to give you some ways to treat dry eye disease that are friendlier for a lower budget to help reduce your overall expenditure on Dry Eye treatments. Find out what your insurance covers - because many Dry Eye medication can be very expensive without insurance or out of pocket, it’s important to take a look at your medical insurance and consider even requesting their formulary to find out which drugs they prefer. That way you can try the Dry Eye medication that your insurance includes on their formulary and you can save yourself and your doctor time by producing that formulary and showing them which medication you’re gonna be able to get first. In addition, once you failed on the medication‘s that your insurance will cover, then medical insurances are usually more willing to approve the more expensive newer Dry Eye medication‘s for you. If you find out that there’s a Dry Eye medication that your doctor recommends but your insurance won’t cover it, look into patient assistance foundations and coupon companies like good RX. Typically, individual pharmaceutical companies will also offer a prescription assistance foundations and you can apply through the foundation to see if you can get your medication covered. #DryEyeIsReal #DryEyeTherapy #DryEyeSyndrome #DryEyesAffectLives #ByeByeDryEye #DryEyeDrops #DryEyeDisease #DryEyeSyndrome #DryEyesTreatment #DryEyeTreatment 📚 Research Links: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21045640/ 💄 Eyes Are The Story (Eye Doc approved makeup & skincare): eyesarethestory.com/eyethinkican 🛒Shop my Amazon Storefront here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/eyeschoolwithdr.d 🙏 Thank you so much for tuning into our channel! 🔔 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!

On March 2, 2022 Johnson & Johnson received FDA approval for their Acuvue Theravision with Ketotifen contact lenses. These lenses are the first and currently only approved drug-eluting contact lenses on the market. They’re made to treat allergies and in this video I’ll tell you all about them! #DrugElutingContactLenses #AcuvueTheravision #KetotifenContacts 📝 Learn more about dry eye by taking this quiz! https://dryeyeinfo.care/?affid=60eeb898b9910 ⏱️ Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:39 What is Acuvue Theravision? 01:27 Who is a good candidate? 02:31 Dr. D's thoughts 03:54 Summary This video is largely derived from the press release about Acuvue Theravision as well as my previous research on drug eluting contact lenses. I have not yet had the chance to try these lenses myself but will definitely make a short for you when I've had the opportunity. Drug eluting contact lenses are something I have discussed in the past (Link future of Cl’s video above) and they are finally a reality here in the United States. The first one to market is a contact lens containing 19mcg Ketotifen, a well-established antihistamine. It brings to market a new option for contact lens wearers with allergies. The old alternatives were to either switch to daily disposables during allergy season, use allergy drops along with traditional frequent replacement contact lenses, or switch to glasses during allergy season. This contact lens is a daily disposable indicated for the prevention of ocular itch due to allergic conjunctivitis and provides vision correction in patients who do not have red eyes, who are suitable for contact lens wear and who do not have more than 1.00 D of astigmatism. #ContactLenses #Contacts #OptometristEyeHealth #EyeDoctorExplains #EyeHealth #EyeCare#EyeDoctor #EyeDoc #Optometrist #Optometry 💄 Eyes Are The Story (Makeup and skincare): https://eyesarethestory.com/eyethinkican 🧴 We Love Eyes affiliate code "eyethinkican" can be used at https://www.weloveeyes.com/ 👀 Dry Eye Rescue affiliate code "drdenton10" can be used at https://dryeyerescue.com/ 🧼 Hylawipe (Dry eye at-home solutions): https://www.tearrestore.com/?ref=melaniedenton 💡 Celluma affiliate code "#75618" can be used at https://www.celluma.com/ 🛒Shop my Amazon Storefront at https://www.amazon.com/shop/eyeschoolwithdr.d 🙏 Thank you so much for tuning into our channel! 🔔 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!
