It's been 10 months since my PRK surgery but I still need to use lubricant drops. Is it okay to stop using them now or should I keep going for a few more months? How long do people usually need these drops after PRK?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After PRK surgery, it’s common to continue using lubricating drops for several months until the eye fully stabilizes. Most people stop using them after 6 months, but check with your doctor for personalized advice.

View allIn my recent eye exam, I noticed that my vision power has decreased from 4.00 to 3.5 in both eyes, and I've been told there's a cylindrical power of 1 in both eyes now. I'm wondering if it's a good or bad thing that my vision power went down like this without any treatment or surgery. Also, if I start wearing glasses with the prescribed cylindrical power, is there a chance that the cylindrical issue will improve over time?
It is generally a good sign that your refractive power has decreased without any treatment or surgery, as it may indicate natural changes in your eyes. To address the cylindrical power in both eyes, wearing eyeglasses with the prescribed CYL power can help correct your vision and reduce the impact of astigmatism. Over time, wearing the prescribed eyeglasses consistently may help in managing and potentially reducing the cylindrical power. Regular follow-up with your eye care provider is important to monitor any changes in your vision and adjust your prescription as needed.

I noticed a cyst on my right eye and I'm a bit worried. Can it be treated with medication or will I need surgery to get it removed? What are my options here?
A cyst on your eye, especially if it's a conjunctival cyst or chalazion (eyelid cyst), doesn't always require treatment, especially if it's small and not causing symptoms. Depending on its size, location, and if it's causing any issues, treatment options include observation, lubricating eye drops, steroid eye drops, draining the cyst, or surgical removal

I'm a 24-year-old guy with cataract in my left eye, and my doctor recommended surgery but couldn't pinpoint why it happened. I'm confused about which lens to choose for the surgery are there different types based on quality? How do I know what's best for me?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
