Question 1

I'm Nikhil and I'm from Bangalore. I'm 28 and I've developed this swollen bump on my upper eyelid on the right side. It's a bit itchy and I feel some pain, especially towards the edge. I've attached a photo for context. Could you help me figure out what this might be and what I should do to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

That could be Chalazion,do not try to squeeze it,it will resolve on its own, visit Ophthalmologist for appropriate management

Question 2

I'm noticing that every month my eyes get red and itchy, but it's weird because it happens to only one eye at a time. If it's my right eye this month, then it's the left one the next month. I don't have any vision problems, but it usually happens close to my period. I've seen the doctor a few times and while the issue gets better with the prescribed stuff like Refresh Tears and Ketorolac Tromethamine ophthalmic solution, it keeps coming back. Do you know of any permanent solution for this?

Accepted Answer

Visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my 5-month-old son. He was diagnosed with eye conjunctivitis on January 13, 2016, and the doctor recommended we use Toba eye drops - 2 drops, 4 times daily for 5 days. Unfortunately, the conjunctivitis kept coming back, so we ended up using the drops for 15 days. The doctor has now advised us to switch to Moxiflox. I'm worried - could using the eye drops for an extended period cause any increase in his eye pressure?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged use of antibiotic eye drops like Toba (tobramycin) and Moxiflox (moxifloxacin) may increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, but the risk of increased eye pressure is relatively low; however, it's essential to follow your doctor's instructions and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your son's condition and adjust treatment as needed.
