I'm dealing with some really itchy eyes today, and it feels like I've got a bunch of sand in them. My eyes are super red, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Plus, my head feels really heavy on top. Any ideas on what's going on?

Question

What are the warning signs of a detached retina?

I'm having some trouble with my eyes lately. I've been using contact lenses, and over the last couple of days, my right eye has been hurting, especially when I blink or touch the area under it. This morning, I noticed the area was a bit swollen, kind of like a puffy eye bag, but after I applied a warm compress, it seemed to get better. There's no visible bump or stye, just slight redness. What do you think I should do about the pain?

Question

I'm worried about my 3-year-old daughter's right eye. It sometimes appears to have a squint, but it's not always noticeable and we only catch it if we're observing really closely. What could be causing this, and what kind of solutions should we be considering? Also, could you recommend a good hospital with an orthoptist near HSR Layout where we could get it checked out?
