Podcast 55: Community Q&A

This episode answers questions related to dry eyes, 6th nerve palsy, nearsightedness, floaters, parasites in the eyes, polarized lenses and NAION. Question 1 0:00 - 8:39 Dear Dr. Berne, please let me know if the MSM eye drops would help to ease my dry eyes, as well as my left eye, slightly swollen inferior eyelid. I have a discharge from my left eye that is white and sticky. I also have daily sinus headaches. Question 2 8:39 - 15:43 I was diagnosed with 6th nerve palsy. This has been the hardest challenge that life has presented me with. It's been more than 3 months since my diagnose. My doctor told me it would take 3-6 months to heal. I've started the healing process, but I am wondering if there is anything I can do to help with it. Please advise. Question 3 15:43 - 23:59 I've seen your videos on your youtube channel, and I wanted to ask about nearsightedness. I wear -0.75 diopters in the right eye and -1.00 diopters in the left eye. I came across your video on how the use of plus lenses can cause a very strong myopic defocus. I tried it today, and I did see a very temporary improvement. What else do you recommend? Thank you very much! Question 4 23:59 - 28:32 I have Iritis in my right eye and floaters in my left. Can/Should I use these MSM drops in both eyes? Question 5 28:32 - 34:00 What are your thoughts on parasites in the eyes? Do you have a protocol to remove them? I'm on a parasite cleanse. I'm having Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and yeast. Every month my eyes will get styes that are huge and half side of my face will become swollen. It can take up to a month to disappear, and I'll end up with a marble size hardball on my eyelid. The strange thing is I've never had a stye until I started this parasite cleanse. It's like they are migrating to my eyes. I've been to 2 ophthalmologists, and they say I have dry eyes, and that I need to take antibiotics. I love your videos, but I've not seen you cover this topic. Thank you for your time and thoughts! Question 6 34:00 - 38:57 Can you tell me about the issue with polarized lenses? Question 7 38:57 - 44:57 Do you have any experience with people with NAION?
