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

I've had a chalazion on my left upper eyelid for about 3 weeks now. I've been using CIPZEN D for the last 5 days and it's gotten a lot smaller, but there's still a tiny lump left. Should I keep taking the meds or is there an ointment that can help it go away completely? I really don't want to go for surgery.

eye drops are advised ,for severe cases surgical excision is advised to the pt.

I have pretty high sphere and cylinder numbers in my prescription and I'm considering laser surgery but I've never worn glasses or contacts before. Is it safe to go straight to surgery without trying corrective lenses first? What should I know about the risks or recovery?

Consult opthalmologist for that.
