Question 1

Hi Doctor, Ive noticed that the power of my glasses keeps increasing every 6 months, and my eyesight seems to be getting worse. Im really worried about it. Is there anything I can do to improve my vision or prevent it from getting worse?

Accepted Answer

Dont worry, your spectacle power should stabilise within the next 5 years or so. Only after this happens, can u think about laser surgery to correct your vision.

Question 2

I have -2.25 power in both eyes and I want to stop wearing glasses. Is there any treatment or surgery I can get to fix this? Please let me know.

Accepted Answer

For your myopia of -2.25 in both eyes, you may consider undergoing a refractive surgery called LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis). This procedure can help correct your vision and reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It is important to consult with an ophthalmologist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for LASIK. The typical dosage for this surgery is one session per eye, with post-operative care instructions provided by your doctor.

Accepted Answer

Prolonged use of antibiotic eye drops like Toba (tobramycin) and Moxiflox (moxifloxacin) may increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, but the risk of increased eye pressure is relatively low; however, it's essential to follow your doctor's instructions and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your son's condition and adjust treatment as needed.

Question 5

Hi, today I noticed a small white bump on my upper eyelid, and it seems to be under the skin. There's a bit of pain in that area too. I'm not sure what this could be. Should I be worried, and what should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

You may have a stye, which is a common eye infection that can cause a painful bump on the eyelid. You can try using antibiotic eye ointment like Tobramycin (Tobrex) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the eyelid for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help reduce pain and swelling. If the stye does not improve or if your symptoms worsen, please consult an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment.
