View allI was given G.Miliflox to use 6 times a day and G.Winolap 2 times daily for my eye discharge and eye flu. I just got back from the hospital and realized I forgot to ask how long I should be using these eye drops. Could you please let me know how many days I should continue with them?

I recently had an eye exam and learned my eye pressure is pretty high. During the visit, the doctor asked if anyone in my family had glaucoma, and after I mentioned my optic nerve, she said there's a slight issue but not to worry. I'm curious, can I still do exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and intense cardio? Is it okay to hit the gym, or could these activities affect my eye pressure?
If your IOP is high do not do heavy workouts and maintain healthy life style,ask your doctor for resolving the issue and have a regular follow up as you have family risk of galucoma

I'm about to have PRK eye surgery and my doctor prescribed some eye drops. I'm a bit confused about the name though. Is it supposed to be "Ocular LS" or "Acular LS"? Can you help clarify? I need to make sure I'm using the right one.
Visit your doctor for appropriate management, and thats ocular ls
