I've had a small white bump near the inner corner of my eye for a few months my doctor said it's a cyst. It doesn't hurt or grow but looks odd. They mentioned surgery if it doesn't go away on its own, but I'd rather try an antibiotic ointment first. Any recommendations for something effective?

Milia is a common skin condition that causes small white bumps (cysts) under the surface of your skin. About 40% to 50% of U.S. newborns have milia. Adults can get milia too. Treatment isn't necessary because milia are harmless and go away on their own.

I had surgery about a month and a half ago, and my daytime vision is clear, but as soon as evening comes, everything gets really blurry. Even small text inside or outside looks hazy in artificial light, though it's sharp in sunlight or mornings. Is this normal? The blurriness in low light is uncomfortable and makes it hard to see details.

Yes, this is a common experience after surgery, particularly eye surgery like LASIK or cataract surgery. Blurry vision, especially in low light, can be a temporary side effect as your eyes and brain adjust to the new conditions. It's often related to healing processes, dry eyes, or how the eye processes light.
