I've been struggling with eye pain since the covid year. I spoke with a nurse at the eye hospital who suggested wearing glasses because of my low power of 0.25, but the pain persisted. I can't tolerate bright lights or work on my laptop, especially at night. About six months ago, an eye clinic diagnosed me with a severe eye allergy. I've been on medication courses for 3 weeks, then 2 months, and another 2 months. The pain eases with the meds, but it returns once I stop. Currently, I'm back on a 2-month course taking FLI drops, UV lube, and sodium hyaluronate XL HA, but the pain keeps coming back. Is there any chance this eye allergy can be permanently resolved, or will I have to keep taking these meds non-stop? Should I consider seeing another doctor for a second opinion?

I'm really curious about the timeline for getting Lasik surgery. From the initial check-up to the actual procedure, does it take months, or can it all be done in just a few days? Also, how many days will I need to recover? And what's the deal with going back to workcan I return to the office right after the surgery?

In 2 weeks you will be fine after surgery,3 months is needed for complete recovery, take adequate rest and follow your doctor advice.

I've had this eye irritation for the last couple of days, and there's this clear, jelly-like stuff on the white part of my eyeball. Should I be worried, or are there any specific eye drops I should try? I've only been using Refresh Tears so far.
