Hey, I've got this small white bump on my upper eyelid and it's underneath the skin. It's been causing a bit of pain. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

You may have a stye, which is a common eye infection that can cause a painful bump on the eyelid. You can try using antibiotic eye ointment like Tobramycin (Tobrex) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the eyelid for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help reduce pain and swelling. If the stye does not improve or if your symptoms worsen, please consult an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been a heart patient and even had bypass surgery about five years ago. He's been on blood thinners ever since. Now he's dealing with cataracts and the eye doctors are saying he should stop his blood thinners for a week before the surgery. I'm not sure about this advice. Is it really necessary to stop taking those medicines? And if he does stop, could it cause any problems or risks for his heart condition?
For patients undergoing cataract surgery who are on blood thinners, it is important to consult with both the cardiologist and the ophthalmologist to determine the best course of action. Stopping blood thinners can increase the risk of blood clots and other complications during surgery. However, in some cases, the ophthalmologist may recommend temporarily stopping the blood thinner to reduce the risk of bleeding during the surgery. If the ophthalmologist has recommended stopping the blood thinner for a week before the cataract surgery, it is important to follow their advice. They may have specific protocols in place to minimize the risk of bleeding during the procedure. It is crucial to discuss this decision with both the cardiologist and the ophthalmologist to ensure the safest outcome for your father. I don't know.
