I'm worried about my daughter's vision because she tends to watch TV, read books, and use her phone really close to her eyes. I tried testing her sight by asking her to stand about 2 meters away from a whiteboard to read some letters, but she couldn't identify them all. What should I do?

I'm dealing with a chalazion on my lower eyelid that's been bothering me for a couple of months. I've been doing hot water compresses, but now there's a small tissue formed with some discharge, which my doctor says is because the chalazion ruptured. I'm wondering, is surgery the only option to treat it, or are there other effective treatments I can try?
While surgery is often considered for a ruptured chalazion with a persistent tissue and discharge, it's not the only remedy, as your doctor may recommend other treatments, such as antibiotic ointments or oral antibiotics to clear up the discharge and prevent infection, steroid injections to reduce inflammation, or continued warm compresses to encourage the tissue to resolve on its own,

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?
Its reassuring that your OCT report is normal, and increasing floaters without flashes often indicate age-related vitreous changes, which are common but harmless. Since you have high blood pressure, ensure it's well-controlled as it can affect eye health; continue Vitreon as prescribed and follow up if symptoms worsen.
