View allI've noticed these yellow spots inside my eyelid, and my eyes often feel sore and itchy, which is really uncomfortable. They swell a lot at first. I visited a doctor who recommended tobramycin dexamethasone, and while it helps with the redness temporarily, it keeps coming back. I've been dealing with these symptoms for almost a year now. Any advice on what might be going on or what else I can do?
There seems to be a persistent issue with your eyes despite using tobramycin dexamethasone. The yellow spots inside your eyelid and the recurring soreness, swelling, itchiness, and discomfort could indicate a chronic condition. I would recommend trying a different approach. You can use an antibiotic ointment like erythromycin ointment to address the yellow spots inside your eyelid. Apply a small amount on the affected area 2-4 times a day. Additionally, for the sore eyes and redness, you can use artificial tears eye drops to help lubricate your eyes and reduce irritation. Use the artificial tears as needed throughout the day for relief. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult with an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried because I had LASIK on both eyes about 15 years ago, and I don't have any records of it anymore. Neither does the surgeon's office. If I ever need cataract surgery, will the lack of these records be a problem? Is there any technology available that can help in determining the right intraocular lens for me?
Yes,no need of the previous records, surgery would be planned based on the current status of your eye

I'm a bit worried about my right eye. When I woke up this morning, it was watery and had turned a light red. This watery sensation is happening on and off, and I've been trying to ease the irritation with cold water. I remember something similar happening last year and used some medicine and eye drops that a doctor prescribed at that time. I've also tried Itone eye drops, which are ayurvedic. Should I keep using the old prescription or just stick with the Itone drops?
yes,visit your foe appropriate management
