I'm really worried about something that happened. While I was putting on makeup, my eye suddenly turned red. I intended to use the neomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and dexamethasone eye drops that were prescribed last year for pink eye, but I accidentally used a different dropneomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and hydrocortisone Otic solution. Afterward, my eye burned really badly. I washed it out and used the eye drops, and now it's not as red, but it feels warm and a bit inflamed. Should I be concerned or do anything specific right now?

Kindly don't self medicate. Wash your eyes thoroughly with water. If there's any further irritation, discharge from the eye, or blurring of vision, kindly visit the opthalmologist at the earliest.

I'm a bit worried about my daughter's eyes. They get watery when she's watching TV or reading a book, and the same happens with bright toys. She's really sensitive to sunlight too. Is this some kind of deficiency or a vision problem? I really want to avoid her needing glasses if possible. She does watch TV from a distance, but she gets super focused and doesn't blink much. We're thinking of cutting back on her TV time, but should we be concerned about her vision needing urgent attention? Any advice would be great.
Your daughter's watery eyes while watching TV, reading, or playing with bright toys, and sensitivity to sunlight, may indicate dry eye syndrome, digital eye strain, or potentially, a condition like photophobia; to avoid potential long-term vision problems, consult a pediatric ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eye exam to rule out any underlying conditions; in the meantime, encourage your daughter to follow the 20-20-20 rule, blink regularly while watching TV, and adjust the screen's brightness and contrast.

I'm really worried about my mom. I took her for an eye checkup a while back because she was experiencing intense itching in her eyes. The doctor then mentioned something about poor blood circulation in her eyes and sent us home. That itching never really went away and now, after four years, she's developed cataracts in one eye and can't see out of it. Today, we found out there's pus in that eye, and the doctor said they can't operate because if it bursts, her pain will be unbearable. What should I do? How can we improve the blood circulation in her eyes?
