View allSomething feels stuck in my left eye like an eyelash but I can't see anything there. My eye is irritated and uncomfortable. Can eyelids actually go inside the eye? How can I get relief at home without needing surgery?
Foreign body sensation could be due to a scratch or lodged particle. Use lubricating eye drops, avoid rubbing, and see an ophthalmologist if it persists beyond 24–48 hours.

I've been using preservative-free lubricant eye drops for about 10 months after my LASIK surgery and I'm wondering if long-term use is safe for my eyes. Are there any side effects I should be aware of with either preservative or preservative-free drops? I'm a bit concerned about potential harm from using them for so long.
It depends. Every LASIK patient experiences different levels of dryness and can use preservative-free eye drops after LASIK until the dryness abates. However, if you experience extreme and persistent dryness, do bring it to the attention of your doctor.

What's the recovery time like after phaco and laser cataract surgery with an imported IOL lens and are there any common side effects I should be aware of
Recovery from phaco and laser cataract surgery with an imported IOL lens typically takes 4-6 weeks. While most patients see improved vision within days, full healing and stabilization of eye power can take that long. Common side effects include mild discomfort, redness, light sensitivity, and blurred vision, which usually resolve within the first week
