My left eye has a chalazion and I really don't want surgery are there any medicines or treatments that can help clear it up without going under the knife? It's been bothering me and I'm worried about it getting worse. What options do I have?

It usually heals by itself. Home remedies like applying a warm compress to your eye can help break up the oil and promote drainage. If home remedies alone aren't enough to heal your chalazion, you may need medical treatment. Your doctor may recommend steroid injections or surgical removal.

I had PRK surgery 4 months ago and my right eye is 66 vision while the left is 69. With pinhole, the left eye goes to 66. My doctor found a scratch on the corneal stroma in my left eye and prescribed fluorometholone drops with lubricants. I've been using them for 2 months but my vision isn't improving to match the right eye. Why isn't it getting better and what else can be done?

After PRK surgery, if your vision hasn‚Äôt improved, the cause might be related to the corneal scratch or dry eye. Further treatments like additional lubrication, steroids, or corrective measures may be required.
