Wife may be experiencing symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis.

Both Travoprost (a glaucoma drop) and Prednisolone (a steroid) can be used together, but it's important to monitor for potential side effects like increased intraocular pressure or changes in eye health with long-term use of steroids.

Question 3

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.
