Question 1

I've been dealing with redness and itching in my eyes for a day now and I'm pretty sure it's due to a dust allergy. Do you have any suggestions for a medication or treatment I could try?

Accepted Answer

Visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I'm 19 and I've recently noticed that my prescription has gone up, from 1.5 to 2.00D in my left eye and 3.25 to 3.5D in my right. I thought my vision would stabilize after turning 18, but it seems like it keeps getting worse every time I see my doctor. Is this progressive myopia going to ever level out? If so, when might that happen? I'm worried that if it keeps changing, it'll become a big problem. I've become quite a mobile addict, and I'm also a computer science student. Could you offer some advice?

Accepted Answer

The progression of your myopia (-1.5 to -2.00D in the left eye and -3.25 to -3.5D in the right eye) despite being over 18 is concerning, but it's not uncommon; the age at which myopia stabilizes varies, but typically, it plateaus between 20-30 years old; however, nearsightedness can continue to progress with prolonged near work, like excessive mobile and computer use; to slow the progression,

Question 3

I'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?

Accepted Answer

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.
