I've been noticing that I'm getting these external styes on my upper eyelids quite frequently lately. They seem to disappear on their own after a day or two, but then they come back again. Though they aren't painful, it's starting to worry me a bit. Could you recommend any medication or treatment that might help prevent them from returning?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's been a heart patient and even had bypass surgery about five years ago. He's been on blood thinners ever since. Now he's dealing with cataracts and the eye doctors are saying he should stop his blood thinners for a week before the surgery. I'm not sure about this advice. Is it really necessary to stop taking those medicines? And if he does stop, could it cause any problems or risks for his heart condition?
For patients undergoing cataract surgery who are on blood thinners, it is important to consult with both the cardiologist and the ophthalmologist to determine the best course of action. Stopping blood thinners can increase the risk of blood clots and other complications during surgery. However, in some cases, the ophthalmologist may recommend temporarily stopping the blood thinner to reduce the risk of bleeding during the surgery. If the ophthalmologist has recommended stopping the blood thinner for a week before the cataract surgery, it is important to follow their advice. They may have specific protocols in place to minimize the risk of bleeding during the procedure. It is crucial to discuss this decision with both the cardiologist and the ophthalmologist to ensure the safest outcome for your father. I don't know.

I'm really concerned about my 5-month-old son. He was diagnosed with eye conjunctivitis on January 13, 2016, and the doctor recommended we use Toba eye drops - 2 drops, 4 times daily for 5 days. Unfortunately, the conjunctivitis kept coming back, so we ended up using the drops for 15 days. The doctor has now advised us to switch to Moxiflox. I'm worried - could using the eye drops for an extended period cause any increase in his eye pressure?
Prolonged use of antibiotic eye drops like Toba (tobramycin) and Moxiflox (moxifloxacin) may increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, but the risk of increased eye pressure is relatively low; however, it's essential to follow your doctor's instructions and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your son's condition and adjust treatment as needed.
