With sensitive, irritated eyes, you want to be gentle and avoid touching them as much as possible‚Äîwhich isn't easy when they're itchy or painful. Cold compresses are great for reducing swelling and sensitivity, and Clear Eyes eye drops for itchy eyes, dry eyes or sensitive eyes can help bring relief

My 3-year-old son might have crossed eyes I noticed it in some of his photos recently. We're really worried and want to figure out the best steps to take. Should we go straight to an eye hospital or find a pediatric eye specialist first? What's the best way to confirm the issue and get honest treatment options, preferably without surgery?

My vision is 69 with 0.75 power in both eyes and I'm considering LASIK or PRK surgery. I need to reach at least 66 vision without glasses is it safe to go for the procedure with my current prescription? Just worried if my power is too low for surgery to be effective.

Low myopia (0.75D) is suitable for LASIK/PRK;with proper screening,you can expect to achieve vision 6/6 safely.
