I'm really worried because my eyes have been red for the past couple of days. I've tried putting coconut oil around them and washing them with cold water. It helped a bit, but the redness still isn't gone. I'm thinking about using Refresh Tears eye drops. Do you think that's a good idea, and if so, how many drops should I use and for how long?

Yes you can use them like 2 drops in each eye for 4 times in a day, if it's becoming worse visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question

I've been feeling pain in my eye,neck, and chest after being out in the sun for about 3 hours yesterday, and it's been going on for 22 hours now. It's starting to worry me. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on or how to get some relief?

Question

So, I was playing with my 2-year-old and accidentally got hit in the right eye with their head. It's been three days since, and I'm still feeling some constant pain on the top and around my eye. It's a bit better now, but definitely not gone. When it happened, I heard a weird quench sound, and now I'm worried that something like a nerve might've gotten damaged. I've attached a few pics. What should I do?

Question

I'm wondering if it's possible for both of my eyes to be slightly lazy? I've heard about "lazy eye" before, but is there a chance it could affect both eyes at once? What would that mean for my vision or overall eye health? I'm curious how this could be diagnosed or if there are specific symptoms I should look out for.
