The 7 Best Blister-Stopping Lubricants of 2020

Fuck contact lenses fuck the eye business industry wear glasses and save those eyes m telling you guys with experience

Your voice is warm and lovely. And your shape is super comforting to me. Nice video, tips and place!��

Doctor Eye Health, you should try Hydra PEG, especially since you fit sclerals / hybrids / rgps. It works for soft lenses too. It makes the lenses really slippery so it’s not for beginners but it works INCREDIBLY well against deposits

Do a YouTube search for Leukotape. The stuff is amazing.
You can also use Friar’s Balsam (tincture of benzoin) in tandem with the Leukotape for extra stickiness. Just test it on your skin before heading out to make sure you don’t have an allergic reaction.

I want to thank you for this video. I applied your ideas for a walking pilgrimage from Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to Chartres Cathédrale a walk of 70 miles over two and a half days. But first I put on antiperspirant all over my foot. I used old spice traveling size antiperspirant,and then medicated foot powder, silk sock liners from REI, and wool hiking socks from Costco. I also broke my boots in at work, where I do a lot of walking and sometimes have to work for 20+ hours straight. I used crocs at the end of the day. God bless you.

Yeah, I knew my dry eyes symptoms weren’t normal. I just stopped wearing them. My eyes just produce too much protein and didn’t last me the whole month. It’s ok. I prefer eyeglasses for now. I’m considering LASIK later on.

I’m looking forward to trying out Dailies Total 1, thanks for the recommendation:)

Great clip…thanks! I’ve been using the Dailies Total 1 lenses for a few years and they have solved my contact lens issues with dry eyes (and my incomplete blinking). They are pricey as you mention and sometimes I only want to wear contacts for a couple of hours rather than for the full day e.g. to go for a jog or ride. Are there any options you could recommend? I’m thinking maybe a fortnightly lens. I use the Blink drops and find they are the best. I also use Alcon Opti-Free Pro drops after taking lenses off after a full day and find it works well/soothing. Keep up the good work.

Sir,I have myopia with -3.50&- 3.25.my doctor told me to wear glasses all the time.but my eye power is getting high though I wear glass all the time.what should I do now?

I do boxing everyday for 4 hours of training and i get a lot of blisters and sometimes it hurts like hell

What can one do if your contact lens gets foggy and gets fogged up when you wear them but you don’t get that foggy vision when you DONT wear them? Also what does it mean when one contact lens gets fogged up way faster then the other causing one to blink at nearly two blinks per second???

Somebody with orthotic walking braces needs to make a video like this… blisters in braces suck…

how about a pair of thick socks instead of 2 pairs of thin/regular thickness socks? what is the difference?

Compared to accuve moist vs daily one is the change and price worth it?

Hi there! Im new to contacts and am still working with my eye doctor trying to figure out which is best for me. I have tried mono vision and also one eye for distance and one with a multifocal lens. Do you have any advice? Do the Dailies Total One come in multifocal? This has been a bit frustrating. Thank you!

Great tips!
I recently had a tough experience with blisters:
With other vegan friends we were on a 4 day hiking trip and I multiple blisters and it got really painful to walk, the things that completely changed my experience were using tape, and switching to sandals where there was a lot more room for the toes and heel to move without much friction

How about a talk on black toe nails? i don’t always get them, but it IS always the same few toes that give me problems.

Dr, could you do a video on people with really high myopia, so called malignant or progressive high myopia. I’m at -23 each eye and now with presbyopia. I’m interested in knowing if there are new lenses indexes for eyeglasses, or some ideas, because we wear contacts, but sometimes we need to give our eyes a rest.

i got the dailies total 1 2 months ago after i discovered your channel. they good, better than the acuvue moist they wanted to fit me for.

Totally contradicts himself. First he says moisture is very bad so wear socks that won’t trap moisture then he says its important to moisturise the feet!

100% of my friends wear con feel Oasys 1 Day is mose moist than Total 1.

You have a Great channel! All your videos are full of great information! Thanks for making them!

Pressure also contributes to blisters…not just friction and moisture.

Don’t ball your socks. Over time it stretches the fabric. They won’t fit as snug then.

I never get blisters (*Merrill boots + Spenco liners and ThorLo hiking sox!!), but my granddaughter is a serious soccer player and she has had horrendous blisters and eczema on her feet. I’m going to recommend this to her. Thanks!
*I started using ThorLo sox and Spenco liners in the 90s when I did an 18-mile walk for charity in brand new walking shoes! Not one blister or even a hot spot, but my boss was crippled with silver dollar sized blisters by the time we finished.

What about Biofinity? I heard this one has more oxygen and better for dry eyes. What do you think?

My eyes aren’t especially dry, but I swear by Clear Care. I wear two-week lenses, and with the peroxide cleaner, it’s like getting a new pair of lenses every day.

I just watched blister prevention and was thinking I hope she has treatment because I… Yup.

Thanks for the info. Looking to buy some la sportivas to train and hike mount Whitney with. Any recommendations?

Day 2 wearing contacts and my eyes were so dry today versus yesterday. I am an incomplete blinker AND my kids don’t completely close when I sleep ��

#1: my parents live right there in Crystal Cove. I hiked to the top last trip. #2: I used to get blisters when I wore hiking boots. The stiffness makes them rub. I switched to either running shoes or what I have now, which are Altra trail runners and I haven’t had any blisters since. It’s like wearing slippers with a rugged sole.

For people concerned with needing a rugged boot, I live in Portland and hike areas in the Gorge and around Mt Hood. Never had a problem.

I got some Clifton 3s and have major issues, feels like they’re half a size smaller than my ATR 2’s. Got a blood blister from a 5k parkrun in them. Will try some of these tricks, cheers! (Or just cut holes in the damn things…)

I just recently started school for ophthalmology & I was looking for entertaining videos to learn with, I’m so glad I found you:) I love your videos. It would be so helpful if you made more talking about the anatomy & physiology of the eye. I feel like you could explain it so well �� thank you!

I totally agree dailies total one is like iPhone, and Oasys one day is like the Samsung and One plus. Which is much better

Awesomejust started running last month and for my first 8 mi I got a bad blister

rewetting drops isn’t available for me.can i use artificial tears while wearing the lenses??

What daily lense would you recommend for severe dry eyes if you have astigmatism?

I use the daily contacts and my eyes still get super dry and the contact eyedrops don’t work for long when I do use them. after like 20 minutes I have to reapply. This happens abut 2 hours after I put the contacts on. What else can I do so my contacts don’t feel so dry and make everything blurry?

Thanks for the tips, Harry.
Would you give us some tips on preventing ankle sprains in trail running?

thank you Harry! I got lot of blisters on my feet today, I did my first half maraton distance. I thought used thin shocks gonna be having more breathable.

Cheers for the Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard about Chireetler Fighters Combinations Rule (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for understanding the secret to please a lady in bed without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my GF at very last got cool results with it.

which contact solution is best for acuvue oasys for astigmatism contacts?

Can I put the band-aid on even if the blister is already there?

Some really good info… Couldn’t focus though after seeing the reflection in your sunglasses..

Sort of allude to this after last tip but my #1 tip to prevent blisters in long run is to keep your callouses and calloused remnants of blisters! Don’t shave them. Calloused skin prevents future blisters.

Toe socks! Haven’t had a blister in 2 years since I started wearing toe socks on all my runs.

Great stuff someone told me to put vaseline between my toes and then stick my socks on:-)

Why do i see blurry when i see up close for example using my phone

Thanks Harry! Quick question. The two pair of socks, are they the same type? One thinner that the other or the same? Thanks-Larry aka “Snake”

I’ve always had a difficult time finding toric contacts that didn’t dry them out. I have flat corneas and I always wanted dailies but my dr said they didn’t really have any toric dailies with my bcI believe it’s 8.8 Past few years I wore the biweekly Biofinity Torics and in the Acuvue Oasys but they started getting dry after three hours or so. Finally there are a few out there with the higher bc for me This year I’m in the Dailies AquaComfort Plus and I love them. I am not sure of the difference between these and the Totals but I can’t even feel them and I can go a good 8-10 hours before wanting to peel them off so a win-win finally. Plus I LOVE using a brand new pair every time and no cleaning at night ��

I strongly suggest clear care it is a hydrogen peroxide solution to clean your contacts and moisturize them I really do feel a different between this and regular contact solution it really keeps my contacts very most through the day

Do you have a video on GPC? I have it and it makes me crazy and freak out

Dr Allen. Does wearing contacts causes tiny veins in the white eyes? I have tried wearing dailies for a few days and saw that I have more tiny veins in the white eyes. Not sure if it’s because i wasn’t good at putting them in and removing them when I started.

Hi doctor, what about the clariti 1 day from Coopervision? I heard that with DT1 might feel some stiffness at the end of the day when you remove the lens

In a prior video you mentioned that contact lenses that are too tight would be something an eye dr. would notice? Should I be concerned if there is a visible ring left behind when I take off the contacts I’ve been wearing…?

Cris, good video. With the Injinji socks, what works for me is to slip them on, line up the toes, then make sure you push in the loose material between your toes, instead of trying to initially pull them over your toes. Seems to work for me.

Hello, I currently have a “deroofed blister” the same size and location of the one in the video picture. I’ve been using a liquid antiseptic to clean it and Neosporin to dress it while wrapping it with gauze to somewhat let it breathe. Should I be using a bandage to completely seal it off so no air gets to it, or is the gauze acceptable? Also, the center has become very red as if developing a blood clot from walking on it. Is that normal or should I be concerned and take more preventative measures? Thanks in advance!

I just tried one of the supposedly best contact lenses on the market and it was a terrible ordeal trying to remove them. After wearing them for seven hours, no matter what I did they dried completely out. The worst part was the removal of it. It was like wearing suction cups. I almost scratched my eyes out!!! Granted, I have severe dry eye syndrome and myopic retina, lattice, degenerative disease, but now I’m back to being legally blind. I also need prism glasses that are worn together with the lenses. That also blocks oxygen drying the eye out more. Contact lenses are not good for everyone, especially with severe dry eye syndrome. It can actually harm your visual acuity. Infections can occur causing more damage to your cornea. For people like me, it’s definitely not worth it. Yet an optometrist was trying to sell me them. They are also more costly than glasses and if your eyes are sore from other issues like allergies be aware of the pain and damage it can cause. Before my vision decreased, I used to wear them and then I tried the new ones out. They still can’t be worn. With all of our technology you would think they could come up with a cheaper and better solution to millions of low vision people❣️����

Please make video on intense pulse light treatment for dry eye.

I found instead of covering your feet with powder, you move the powder when you pull your socks on, put the powder in your socks and give the socks a shake, then put them on. It works for me.

Best tip ever!….SEE YER EYE DOC! Every CL wearer MUST get a CL checkup at least once a year. Eye disease happens unbeknownst to you.

I play football and have very bad blisters on my toes from where me feet sweat and move around, do u think that this will work the same?

Thank You Dr Allen! You by far is one of the best eye doc’s that explains stuff clearly. You are very knowledgeable and your utbes r very informative. Thankyou!����������

I have Sjogren’s and the dry eyes that go hand in hand with that and meibomian gland dysfunction. I also have MS so my eyes have a rough go of it. I use Dailies, Refresh eye drops, Lotemax steroid drops and still have lenses dry up, fold over, come out, etc. I wake up in the morning feeling like I slept with my eyes open, dry, lids stick to the eyeballs until I put in a ton of Refresh eye gel. Fun times! You can only do so much and just have to live with it, I believe. Great vids, Doc.

I like the Night & Day contacts — even if I’m not sleeping in them. They seem to be 100% more breathable than most I’ve tried. Using the transitions lenses now, though. The UV protection they offer is worth the small and almost invisible discomfort.

THIS IS AMAZING AM REALLY INSPIRED LOOKING FORWARD TO BE LIKE THIS DOCTOR!

Pretty soon Alcon (they manufacturer of the Dailies Total 1) will be releasing a new lens called Precision 1 that is supposed to bring down some of the technologies from Dailies Total 1 to a cheaper price point (they are going for the 1-Day Moist market). Hopefully this will help bring down the cost of comfort.
