I'm a bit worried about my daughter's eyes. They get watery when she's watching TV or reading a book, and the same happens with bright toys. She's really sensitive to sunlight too. Is this some kind of deficiency or a vision problem? I really want to avoid her needing glasses if possible. She does watch TV from a distance, but she gets super focused and doesn't blink much. We're thinking of cutting back on her TV time, but should we be concerned about her vision needing urgent attention? Any advice would be great.

Your daughter's watery eyes while watching TV, reading, or playing with bright toys, and sensitivity to sunlight, may indicate dry eye syndrome, digital eye strain, or potentially, a condition like photophobia; to avoid potential long-term vision problems, consult a pediatric ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eye exam to rule out any underlying conditions; in the meantime, encourage your daughter to follow the 20-20-20 rule, blink regularly while watching TV, and adjust the screen's brightness and contrast.

View allI've been experiencing some pain in my left eye's cornea whenever I put in my contact lens. I make sure to keep them clean and they're not expired, but the pain is still there. What could be causing this?

So, I've noticed these cholesterol deposits on the corner of my eyelid that started showing up about a year ago. I'm wondering how I can treat them or if I even need to. Could you recommend a clinic or specialist I should visit for this issue?
The cholesterol deposits on your eyelid are likely xanthelasmata, a harmless condition, but to confirm and discuss treatment options, consider consulting a dermatologist or an oculoplastic surgeon at a reputable eye clinic or hospital, and in the meantime, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, may help slow their growth.

I'm a bit concerned because my 7-year-old daughter recently recovered from an adenovirus infection that included viral conjunctivitis, fever, and loose motion. She's doing better now, but I'm starting to notice a burning sensation and slight pinkness in my eyes. I don't have a fever or other symptoms yet, so I'm just wondering what steps I should take to address this. Any advice?
Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management, because you might have got infected with it.
