Question

I've been working from home for the past three years, and I've noticed I'm spending a lot of time on my laptop because of workat least 12 to 13 hours a day. Lately, I've been experiencing headaches, a burning sensation, and watery eyes. I'm also having trouble sleeping, feeling really fatigued, low energy, and like I always want to sleep but just can't. What could be causing these issues?

Question

I'm on Travatan drops because of being a glaucoma suspect and have been using them for about 50 days now. Lately, I've been getting headaches and pain around my eyes, so they suggested I see a neurologist. Now, they think it's cluster headache and want me to start on prednisolone. Could you tell me if there are any side effects from using travoprost and prednisolone together?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. I took her for an eye checkup a while back because she was experiencing intense itching in her eyes. The doctor then mentioned something about poor blood circulation in her eyes and sent us home. That itching never really went away and now, after four years, she's developed cataracts in one eye and can't see out of it. Today, we found out there's pus in that eye, and the doctor said they can't operate because if it bursts, her pain will be unbearable. What should I do? How can we improve the blood circulation in her eyes?
