I'm noticing this strange purple shape when I look at people, and sometimes my vision goes blurry for a few seconds. I've had an OCT scan done and I'm using some eye drops and taking a supplement called i Sight Plus. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just a normal thing?

Question

I've had this eye irritation for the last couple of days, and there's this clear, jelly-like stuff on the white part of my eyeball. Should I be worried, or are there any specific eye drops I should try? I've only been using Refresh Tears so far.

Question

I'm a little worried because I'm 25 and dealing with some health issues. I've been noticing more and more eye floaters this past month, but my ophthalmologist says my eyes are fine after doing an OCT. They suggested I take Vitreon sachets every day for 30 days. But if everything's supposed to be okay, why are my floaters getting worse every day? I don't see any flashes, just lots of floaters that look like black dots or wavy lines. Could something else be going on?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 66 and had cataract surgery on both eyes about 5 months ago. His doctor mentioned that he should wear sunglasses for a month whenever he went outside, but it's been 5 months and he still feels really uncomfortable when he steps out, even if it's just for a couple of minutes. At night, he seems fine with the lights, so that's a relief. The doctor said he has dry eyes which might be causing the slow recovery. He's using eye drops three times a day and a gel at night as the doctor advised. He's also been wearing photochromic glasses for the past 4 months and feels okay with them indoors, but as soon as he goes outside, it's really tough for him. I'm just curious when he might be able to go out without feeling the need for sunglasses again because, despite what the doctor said, stepping out even for a short time is hard for him right now. What could be going on?
