I noticed a cyst on my right eye and I'm a bit worried. Can it be treated with medication or will I need surgery to get it removed? What are my options here?
A cyst on your eye, especially if it's a conjunctival cyst or chalazion (eyelid cyst), doesn't always require treatment, especially if it's small and not causing symptoms. Depending on its size, location, and if it's causing any issues, treatment options include observation, lubricating eye drops, steroid eye drops, draining the cyst, or surgical removal

just had cataract surgery this morning and was told to use eye drops but my eyes are also watery from a cold can i take cold medicine too or will it interfere with the surgery
After cataract surgery, it’s safe to take cold medicine, but be cautious if it contains decongestants, as they can increase blood pressure. It’s best to consult your eye doctor for specific instructions about medications during recovery.
