Do I need antibiotic drops for eye discomfort?

I had a plants poked my left eye yesterday, currently my eye can blink and can see. It did not injured my cornea but above my eyeball. Today it still feels uncomfortable, not as pain as yesterday and still bearable. Do I need to use antibiotics drops or is there any other medication I can buy over the counter?

The issue seems to be a trivial one, like a plant that has poked your eye. This feeling may include redness, discomfort, and a gritty feeling. As you have no injury to the cornea, antibiotics are not needed. If your eye is puffy, you may get relief from using artificial tears to drop your eye. In case the discomfort continues or worsens, you should visit an eye doctor.

I will wear glasses for the first time. I am very busy at the computer these days. If I wear glasses, depending on the degree of glasses I thought it was too much, will my eye problems progress over time...

Wearing wrong glasses causes only discomfort and eyestrains.If you have any doubt it is better to go for a second opinion.

Dear Sir/Madam, I live abroad. I cannot see because the cornea and optic nerves of my right eye have not developed since birth, and the colored part of my cornea is smaller than my seeing eye. Is there a treatment method in your clinic that will help me see? Or do you have an application that will provide the same appearance as my other eye? Best regards

Male | 18

You have a congenital problem in which one of your eyes, the right one, has not developed fully. This can result in visual impairment or even blindness in that eye. Regrettably, in your case where the cornea and optic nerve have not developed, no treatment can bring back vision. Nevertheless, some cosmetic options like colored contact lenses or prosthetic eyes can enhance the look of your eye and make it more similar to your other eye.

The symptoms you are experiencing, may or may not be linked to the dosage of sertraline. It is better to consult with a eye doctor for proper evaluation

Eye pain and swelling could signify a serious PROBLEM.. SEEK medical ATTENTION now.. Possible causes: INJURY, INFECTION, allergies or other MEDICAL conditions.. if you are working then it could be because of continious seeing the screen. Symptoms may get worse without TREATMENT..

I’m wondering if eyeglasses are needed while my right eye is 20/30 and my left eye is 20/25, but both are 20/20 and my right eye suffers from recurrent corneal erosion.

Male | 27

Both your eyes are mostly fine. A corneal erosion can be dangerous and cause pain and sensitivity to light. Even if you have perfect eyesight, you may need to wear special glasses that will protect your eye from an even greater injury. These glasses can be used to stop more erosions from happening.

I have got retinal gas treatment before 7 weeks, now is that possible to use air transport as of tomorrow?

Male | 50

You might notice changes in air pressure while flying after such a procedure. This could be uncomfortable or slow down the healing process. So, it’s better to postpone your trip until your eyes fully recover from surgery.

I 28 years old. I have under gone Lasik eye surgery in Narayana Netralaya in 2019. But one of the eye didn't improve any eye sight...I went to them but they said the Par has removed and the number of both the eyes is zero.. but one eye I can't read and get blurred vision... Is there any way or is it necessary to undergo another surgery....please help me out in this issue

Male | 28

This is alarming because even in one of your eyes you still face an issue with clarity of vision after Lasik surgery. It is recommended that one consult an eye consultant doctor who conducts a full eye inspection. They take note of unique factors that cause blurred vision; these may be refractive errors or an underlying condition. This depends on what is found in the latter part of these surgical procedures so it may entail additional surgery if the findings are unfavorable, but proper professional assessment by an eye specialist would be better.
