My son just had cataract surgery and the doctor prescribed steroid and antibiotic eye drops along with homide eye drops what exactly does the homide drop do for his recovery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The Homide eye drops, containing homatropine, are used in cataract surgery to dilate the pupil and reduce muscle spasms. This helps the ophthalmologist visualize the eye better during surgery and also helps to relax the eye muscles. Homatropine is a muscarinic antagonist, which means it blocks the effects of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that controls eye muscle movement

Consult a Ophthalmologist

View allI'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.

My dad needs cataract surgery and we're stuck on choosing the right lens. We were considering the trifocal Indian lens (Tridiff TF) but heard imported ones like Zeiss TF might be better. The cost with imported lenses is double though. Is the difference in quality worth the extra money or are Indian lenses just as good?
Eye opinion is advised to the patient.
