I'm on my computer and phone a lot, and lately, my eyes have been feeling really tired and dry. I've been thinking about using lubricating drops like Refresh Tears or carboxymethylcellulose sodium every day to help out with this. Is it safe to use them daily, or should I be worried about any side effects?

Question

I've been dealing with a stye in my eyes since I was 16, and even though I've tried medicines and eye drops, it just keeps coming back for a whole year. Lately, I've noticed that my eyelid is starting to slightly cover my pupil, but my vision hasnt been affected. At first, we thought it was no big deal since it was so minor, but now Im feeling really self-conscious about it, especially during video calls and in photos. It looks like one eye is way different from the other. Ive attached a picture showing the issue with my right eye. Could you tell me how this might be fixed?

Question

I've been washing my eyes with tap water every few hours lately, but they started burning every time I did it. I just discovered that the Dettol Liquid Handwash I use might not rinse off completely and could be the reason for the burning and irritation in my eyes. I skipped washing my eyes today and haven't experienced any symptoms. Could this soap residue be causing problems for my eyes in the long run?

Question

I've been dealing with keratoconus in both my eyes, and it's been about 2.5 months since I had the C3R and Intacs procedures. I'm still experiencing a lot of light sensitivity. Is that normal, and how long might it take for the sensitivity to improve?
