Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

It is generally a good sign that your refractive power has decreased without any treatment or surgery, as it may indicate natural changes in your eyes. To address the cylindrical power in both eyes, wearing eyeglasses with the prescribed CYL power can help correct your vision and reduce the impact of astigmatism. Over time, wearing the prescribed eyeglasses consistently may help in managing and potentially reducing the cylindrical power. Regular follow-up with your eye care provider is important to monitor any changes in your vision and adjust your prescription as needed.

Question 4

I accidentally got some Harpic liquid on my skin and washed it off with water right away. I went out and got Refresh Liquigel as a precaution. Could you tell me how many drops I should use and how often?

Accepted Answer

If youve come into contact with Harpic liquid, it's great that you washed it off immediately. For Refresh Liquigel, usually 1-2 drops in each eye should be enough, 2-3 times a day or as needed for comfort. If irritation persists, its best to consult a doctor.

Question 5

Do you happen to know if the eye color-changing product iCOLOUR is actually safe to use? I'm a bit worried about the potential risks, like could it make someone go blind? And if it does change eye color, how long would that even last?

Accepted Answer

iCOLOUR and similar products that claim to change eye color can carry risks, including potential eye damage or infection, as they alter the natural pigmentation of the iris. It's important to consult an eye specialist before using such products to ensure safety. The effects may not be permanent and can last only for a few months to a year, depending on the product.

I'm really concerned about my 5-month-old son. He was diagnosed with eye conjunctivitis on January 13, 2016, and the doctor recommended we use Toba eye drops - 2 drops, 4 times daily for 5 days. Unfortunately, the conjunctivitis kept coming back, so ...

Accepted Answer

Prolonged use of antibiotic eye drops like Toba (tobramycin) and Moxiflox (moxifloxacin) may increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, but the risk of increased eye pressure is relatively low; however, it's essential to follow your doctor's instructions and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your son's condition and adjust treatment as needed.
