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.

View allI'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?
While surgery is often considered for a ruptured chalazion with a persistent tissue and discharge, it's not the only remedy, as your doctor may recommend other treatments, such as antibiotic ointments or oral antibiotics to clear up the discharge and prevent infection, steroid injections to reduce inflammation, or continued warm compresses to encourage the tissue to resolve on its own,

I'm worried about my daughter's vision because she tends to watch TV, read books, and use her phone really close to her eyes. I tried testing her sight by asking her to stand about 2 meters away from a whiteboard to read some letters, but she couldn't identify them all. What should I do?
