I'm a little worried because I'm 25 and dealing with some health issues. I've been noticing more and more eye floaters this past month, but my ophthalmologist says my eyes are fine after doing an OCT. They suggested I take Vitreon sachets every day for 30 days. But if everything's supposed to be okay, why are my floaters getting worse every day? I don't see any flashes, just lots of floaters that look like black dots or wavy lines. Could something else be going on?

Its reassuring that your OCT report is normal, and increasing floaters without flashes often indicate age-related vitreous changes, which are common but harmless. Since you have high blood pressure, ensure it's well-controlled as it can affect eye health; continue Vitreon as prescribed and follow up if symptoms worsen.

Question

I've been dealing with a stye in my eyes since I was 16, and even though I've tried medicines and eye drops, it just keeps coming back for a whole year. Lately, I've noticed that my eyelid is starting to slightly cover my pupil, but my vision hasnt been affected. At first, we thought it was no big deal since it was so minor, but now Im feeling really self-conscious about it, especially during video calls and in photos. It looks like one eye is way different from the other. Ive attached a picture showing the issue with my right eye. Could you tell me how this might be fixed?

Question

I've had a squint in my right eye since I was a kid, but it seems more noticeable now as I'm 28. Is there any way to fix this without having surgery? Are there glasses or maybe muscle exercises that could help?

Question

I'm struggling with my eyesight since my eye number is minus 5 and 5.5, and everything's blurry without my glasses. I'm really considering surgery because I don't want to wear specs anymore. Can you let me know how much the total fees are for such an eye operation?
