In today's world, where information is just a click away, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the flood of eye care products claiming to be miracle solutions. From promising to improve vision to preventing eye disease, the internet is filled with products that make bold claims.

Hello, everyone! Dr. Allen here. As we mark Dry Eye Awareness Month this July, it's an ideal time to dive deep into the often misunderstood world of dry eye disease, specifically focusing on an advanced treatment that’s gaining significant traction in the field. For those familiar with this channel, you know that we've covered Myboman Gland Dysfunction (MGD) extensively. MGD is the primary culprit behind dry eye syndrome, affecting millions worldwide, including myself. This condition occurs when the oil glands located in your eyelids, known as Myboman glands, fail to produce high-quality oils. These oils are crucial for maintaining a stable tear film on the surface of your eyes. When these oils are lacking or of poor quality, it leads to the rapid evaporation of your tear film, increasing the osmolarity (or salt content) of your tears. This imbalance causes damage to the ocular surface, triggering an inflammatory response that perpetuates a vicious cycle of discomfo...

One of the most challenging aspects of being an eye doctor is witnessing people lose their vision. The eye condition that personally concerns me the most is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD affects your central vision, meaning you retain peripheral vision but lose the ability to see clearly in the center. Imagine looking at a loved one’s face and being unable to recognize them because your central vision is blurred or completely blacked out. The same goes for watching a movie, playing video games, or reading—you simply can’t do it. Currently, no glasses, contact lenses, or even surgeries can restore this type of vision loss, making early detection crucial. Identifying AMD early allows us to begin treatment and lifestyle changes that can delay or even prevent further vision deterioration. The Silent Onset of AMD One of the tricky aspects of AMD is that many people don't notice any issues with their vision until it's too late. In fact, about 80% of individu...

Today, we’re diving into one of the most important topics for anyone who wears contact lenses: the best contact lenses of 2022. In this video, we're doing things a bit differently. Previously, we focused mostly on daily disposable contact lenses, but with the rapid advancements in lens technology, it’s crucial to expand our scope. This year, we're not just talking about daily lenses—we’re recognizing innovations across various categories, including monthly lenses, lenses for astigmatism, dry eye solutions, and more. Before we dive in, let me emphasize that this video, like all my content, is not sponsored. The rankings and opinions you’ll hear are based entirely on my experience as both a long-time contact lens wearer and as a professional who has fitted countless patients with lenses over the years.
