I've had this eye irritation for the last couple of days, and there's this clear, jelly-like stuff on the white part of my eyeball. Should I be worried, or are there any specific eye drops I should try? I've only been using Refresh Tears so far.

Question

So, my mom's got cataracts in both her eyes and the doc mentioned surgery was an option. Back when we discussed it, her blood sugar was stable. But now, her fasting blood sugar's at 142 and the post-meal is 138. With these levels, is it still safe to go ahead with the operation?

Question

I'm really worried because my eyes have been red for the past couple of days. I've tried putting coconut oil around them and washing them with cold water. It helped a bit, but the redness still isn't gone. I'm thinking about using Refresh Tears eye drops. Do you think that's a good idea, and if so, how many drops should I use and for how long?

Question

I'm dealing with a chalazion on my lower eyelid that's been bothering me for a couple of months. I've been doing hot water compresses, but now there's a small tissue formed with some discharge, which my doctor says is because the chalazion ruptured. I'm wondering, is surgery the only option to treat it, or are there other effective treatments I can try?
