I'm on Travatan drops because of being a glaucoma suspect and have been using them for about 50 days now. Lately, I've been getting headaches and pain around my eyes, so they suggested I see a neurologist. Now, they think it's cluster headache and want me to start on prednisolone. Could you tell me if there are any side effects from using travoprost and prednisolone together?

Both Travoprost (a glaucoma drop) and Prednisolone (a steroid) can be used together, but it's important to monitor for potential side effects like increased intraocular pressure or changes in eye health with long-term use of steroids. It's always best to follow your doctor's advice and report any unusual symptoms.

Question

I'm really looking to improve my eye power naturally. I've got a high prescription of 6 diopters in both eyes. Are there any exercises or yoga routines that might help reduce it, even just a bit? I'm open to any kind of exercise or natural remedy.

Question

I'm really worried about my dad's eye condition. He went to the hospital by himself, and he's saying he needs to use atropine in the morning and at night, one drop each time, and moxifloxacin every hour. That sounds right according to the doctor's instructions, but I'm confused because as per the prescription, he's also supposed to use itraconazole and natamycin every hour. My dad is telling me the doctor advised him to start those only after finishing atropine and moxifloxacin. I'm 600 km away and it's stressing me out not being there to help. Can you help me make sense of what should be done first?

Question

I've been noticing that I'm getting these external styes on my upper eyelids quite frequently lately. They seem to disappear on their own after a day or two, but then they come back again. Though they aren't painful, it's starting to worry me a bit. Could you recommend any medication or treatment that might help prevent them from returning?
