Question 1

So, Ive been rinsing my eyes with tap water every few hours for the past few weeks, and theyve been burning each time I do it. Just today, I realized that the Dettol Liquid Handwash I use doesnt fully wash off my hands, even after rinsing. Im wondering if some of it might be getting into my eyes and causing the burning and irritation. I didnt wash my eyes today, and I dont have any symptoms right now. Could this have caused any long-term damage to my eyes?

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 4

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.

Accepted Answer

The sensation of your left eyeball being pulled from behind on the temporal side when removing glasses for reading may be related to eye strain, convergence insufficiency, or accommodative spasm, which can occur due to prolonged near vision tasks; consider consulting an eye care professional for a comprehensive evaluation, and discuss potential corrective measures, such as adjusting your glasses prescription, incorporating eye exercises, or using reading glasses with a different power.
