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?

View allI've noticed over the past few days that the corners of my wife's eyes are really itchy, and it's affecting the area under her eyes too. She's sometimes getting teary-eyed without any reason. Could you give me some advice on what might help, or should we consider seeing a doctor?
Wife may be experiencing symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. I recommend using over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops such as Zaditor (Ketotifen) twice a day to help relieve the itching and watering. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the eyes can also provide relief. Make sure to avoid rubbing the eyes as it can worsen the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

So, my mom's got cataracts in both her eyes and the doc mentioned surgery was an option. Back when we discussed it, her blood sugar was stable. But now, her fasting blood sugar's at 142 and the post-meal is 138. With these levels, is it still safe to go ahead with the operation?

I've been washing my eyes with tap water every few hours lately, but they started burning every time I did it. I just discovered that the Dettol Liquid Handwash I use might not rinse off completely and could be the reason for the burning and irritation in my eyes. I skipped washing my eyes today and haven't experienced any symptoms. Could this soap residue be causing problems for my eyes in the long run?
