I'm worried about these retinal holes and tears I've got, and I'm really hoping there's a way to manage them without going through laser treatment. Do you think homeopathy could be effective for this? And if it's possible, how long would it take to see any results? I'm just trying to explore all my options here.

Retinal holes and tears require prompt conventional medical attention, and homeopathy is not a recommended or evidence-based treatment for these conditions; laser treatment or surgery are the standard treatments to prevent vision loss, and delaying treatment can lead to retinal detachment and permanent vision loss; homeopathic treatment may not be effective in closing retinal holes or tears, and it's crucial to consult an ophthalmologist

I've been dealing with Keratoconus since I was 18, diagnosed back in 2014. In 2015, I had corneal collagen cross-linking on my left eye. My vision's always been a concern, especially with my left eye where I've been using Rosek2 contact lenses. Right now, my vision in the right eye seems fairly stable with minimal blur, but the left eye seems to be getting worse, especially when I look at my records over the years. The readings keep changing, especially the K1, K2, and the thinnest part of the cornea. Should I be worried about these changes over the years, and is there anything else I should be keeping an eye on or considering treatment-wise to maintain or improve my vision?

I'm really concerned about something that's been happening since I had herpes zoster shingles a couple of weeks ago. I had rashes on my neck and shoulders, all on the left side, but they've mostly cleared up now. However, this morning I noticed I can only twitch my left eye. I came across something online about herpes zoster ophthalmicus, and I'm worried this could be a late effect of the shingles. What should I do about this?

It is the complication of herpes infection.

I've been using my air conditioner in the room for quite a while, and now I'm experiencing some pain and redness just in my left eye. It's really uncomfortable, especially since I can't even close my left eye properly because the upper lid hurts, and there's this reddish tint on the lower lid. On top of that, I'm trying to study for my exams, which makes it even more frustrating. Do you have any recommendations for something that can help soothe this?
