  1. If you're comfortable getting that close to your grandparents? And the face you made? What the heck is that derogatory statement supposed to mean? Bad form young man. Total disrespect.

  2. I was born with retinopathy prematurity. I had cataracts in both eyes two surgeries a year part over 44 years ago. However, my good eye is my left eye yet my eye popped a little bit. It’s still inside my eye and I could still see but I’m having Issues where I would look at something and then it would go dark quickly and then return back to normal? I went to my eye doctor to see if there was something in my eye however they saw nothing and I have a bulging eye, which is the same left eye. I can see out of. I’m legally blind, so my vision is limited and I have no site in my right eye right now. I can’t move my left eye out the left corner of my eye very well. I do have dry eye I do use eye drops however I’m going to see my doctor about the blackouts that I’m having I don’t know if it’s caused by the fact that my eye popped three weeks ago I’m not really for sure. I do see a retina specialist as well. I did have epilepsy when I was a kid, but I grew out of it and I am the only with neck and back issues alignment issues. Didn’t know if any of this would be an issue for me having my vision go dark and then come back quickly like a snapshot?? Thank you so much.

  3. I am genuinely impressed how he didn’t twist his tongue even once saying all those complicated words in detail or full form instead using the shortcuts or keywords . I rather keep this guy as my spoken English teacher

  4. Thank you so much for doing this video. I’ve been to at least for doctors and they haven’t been able to pinpoint my corneal ulcer. I’m guessing I have # 4 currently.

  5. None of the conditions were my favorite. One of my eyes turns red as soon as i step outside or when the lights are bright, sometimes there's a little pain. It feels like my eye is strained and tired and I have no idea what's causing it. I've seen a few doctors and i was told it's dust or make-up but i don't put on makeup . One doctor in China told me to ignore it cause i see well. But i can't just ignore it. When i wake up my eyes are all clear and by noon I have a red eye, it feels tired and strained. I don't know what to do.

  6. Thank you, Doctor. There was a lot of great and helpful information in that video!
    I am a 71 yr old female. Thee months ago, I suffered a TIA stroke and an SHA aneurysm was discovered on the scan with contrast. I have an eye appointment coming up. Do you think that this any of the might be revealed on the eye exam?
    Thank you

  7. I have recurrent uveitis (diagnosed mid 1980's) and have had it in both eyes at the same time. Not pleasant. I also eventually became a steroid responder, so I have to take pressure drops as well as the steroid drops. I've been on so many different steroid drops (strength-wise)….treating each eye differently, as a rule. Looking forward to just taking one drop of Lotamax in each eye as a maintenance….if I could just stop getting flareups. I have Crohn's and was recently diagnosed with microscopic colitis. Yippie!! Also have ankylosing spondylitis, amongst a couple other autoimmune issues. Anyway…..after my last uveitis flare in my left eye, and once I could stop the dilation drops, I eventually noticed that the pupil in that eye was a tad larger than my right. I brought it to my ophthalmologist's attention and he agreed. Said he's not worried about it. So, I guess I won't be?!? I also mentioned to him on at lease two occasions that if I move my eyes quickly to the left or right, I sometimes get a VERY sharp pain deep inside my eye. Feels as though I tore something. It stays sore for a few minutes, but eventually goes away. Dr. looked at my eyes, said he didn't see anything, and then he said, "I guess you shouldn't look left or right without turning your head as well." UGH! That was the first time in the 15 years I've been seeing him that he said something I was a tad disappointed with. Usually, he's so good and thorough. But I was never asked to get a brain MRI. He does check on my optic nerve every now and again in his office. He did send me to see a uveitis specialist, but he wants me to go on a biologic and I'm not doing that. I tried 3 different types, and it wasn't good. Felt like I was dying while taking them. I also get random vessel bursts in the eyes (and on my hands or feet) which look just wonderful. I especially get them when the Dr.'s staff checks my eye pressure. Had a perfect red letter "O" in the white of my eye because the person never locked the machine or whatever you call that little table thing you rest your chin and forehead on and it was moving around while she was checking my pressure. I prefer the Dr. to do the pressure. The medical field ain't what it used to be, for sure. Could have been the receptionist checking my pressure. Definitely a newbie I'd never seen there before. I don't like to complain or raise a ruckus, so I grin, bear it, and leave with my 62 year old jaundice looking eyes. Why do the numbing drops have to be yellow? Why not purple or blue? Since the whole Covid catastrophe, I find that my body is highly sensitive to stress and aggravation. I've recently started meditating and practicing present moment awareness. Has helped me a great deal to feel calmer and to trust my own judgement when it comes to my health. Thank you for your very informative channel. All the best!
