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.

Question

I had ICL surgery two months ago but my eyelid is still really swollen what could be causing this and how can I reduce the swelling

In 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?

Question

I have an 11.5 power in my glasses and I'm considering Lasik surgery is it usually a one-time procedure or are follow-ups needed? Also, what's the approximate cost and which are the best clinics in Hyderabad for this? I'm a bit nervous about the whole process and want to make sure I pick the right place.
