I'm dealing with acute anterior uveitis and started using corticosteroid eye drops and dilating drops on April 18. It's been a bit and I'm still experiencing redness and pain in my eyes. How long does it usually take for these symptoms to start improving?

Question

I've been having this itching in my eye for the past three days, and it's really bothering me. It seems to get worse in the morning and at night, and I've noticed my eye gets a little red when it's really itchy. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and what should I do to make it stop?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 60 and has been experiencing watery eyes a lot, especially when she's watching TV. I'm planning to take her to a doctor, but in the meantime, do you have any recommendations for eyedrops that could offer her some immediate relief? She doesn't have any other symptoms right now, so I'm just looking for something to help ease this.

Question

I'm 19 and I've recently noticed that my prescription has gone up, from 1.5 to 2.00D in my left eye and 3.25 to 3.5D in my right. I thought my vision would stabilize after turning 18, but it seems like it keeps getting worse every time I see my doctor. Is this progressive myopia going to ever level out? If so, when might that happen? I'm worried that if it keeps changing, it'll become a big problem. I've become quite a mobile addict, and I'm also a computer science student. Could you offer some advice?
