I've noticed these yellow spots inside my eyelid, and my eyes often feel sore and itchy, which is really uncomfortable. They swell a lot at first. I visited a doctor who recommended tobramycin dexamethasone, and while it helps with the redness temporarily, it keeps coming back. I've been dealing with these symptoms for almost a year now. Any advice on what might be going on or what else I can do?

There seems to be a persistent issue with your eyes despite using tobramycin dexamethasone. The yellow spots inside your eyelid and the recurring soreness, swelling, itchiness, and discomfort could indicate a chronic condition. I would recommend trying a different approach. You can use an antibiotic ointment like erythromycin ointment to address the yellow spots inside your eyelid. Apply a small amount on the affected area 2-4 times a day. Additionally, for the sore eyes and redness, you can use artificial tears eye drops to help lubricate your eyes and reduce irritation. Use the artificial tears as needed throughout the day for relief. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult with an ophthalmologist 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'm dealing with some really uncomfortable itching and inflammation in my eyes, and they've turned really red. I can't seem to stop rubbing them. Could you recommend any eye drops that might help with this?

Visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management as it looks like Conjunctivitis.

I'm wondering if it's possible for both of my eyes to be slightly lazy? I've heard about "lazy eye" before, but is there a chance it could affect both eyes at once? What would that mean for my vision or overall eye health? I'm curious how this could be diagnosed or if there are specific symptoms I should look out for.
