Question 1

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.

Question 2

I'm just trying to figure out if the glasses I got delivered are actually legit sunglasses for sun protection. How can I verify that these glasses are made for UV protection?

Accepted Answer

Visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I've been using a new prescription from my doctor for about a month, but my vision in my right eye is still blurry. The doctor mentioned it would take about 7 to 10 days to adjust, but it's already been a month. Any ideas why this might be happening? Do you think I've permanently lost 66 vision?

Accepted Answer

that's unusual, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management

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?
