Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

As your daughter's eyes are giving you some worries, especially with the right eye feeling blurry after using the Airtopin eye drops for myopia and astigmatism. Sometimes, when starting new eye drops, the eyes might need time to adjust, causing temporary blurriness. It could also be that the prescription strength needs adjusting. What I recommend is to pause the drops for now and reach out to a local ophthalmologist in the US. They can assess your daughter's eyes and maybe suggest a different treatment plan or adjust the current one. It's essential to ensure her eyes are comfortable and getting the right care.

My suggestion is that you get an appointment with an ophthalmologist to have a look at the condition of your left eye. Complications do occur in a cataract surgery, though this procedure is very popular. The retina and choroid can detach from each other, and then cause permanent vision loss.

I have a squit eyes I wanted to have a check up

Female | 22

You have a condition called "squint eyes", aka strabismus. The situation is where one of the eyes is not functioning right, thus the two eyes are directed in different ways. Sometimes, you will see one eye looking one way, like in, out, up, or down. One reason could be the weakened eye muscles, or the problem may be with the nerves that control the eye muscles. The type of treatment may include glasses, eye exercises, or surgery, depending on the cause and degree of the squint. It is vital to visit an eye specialist for an accurate assessment and a discussion of the best treatment choices for you.

When I work out at the gym, my eye starts to swell after the workout. I consulted an eye specialist, who said it’s an allergy. However, when I jog or walk outside, nothing happens. In the gym, if I lift weights, even light ones, my eye starts to swell later. When I do floor exercises like push-ups, I feel like there's a foreign object in my eye, causing a twitching sensation. This only happens with exercises that involve pressure.looking like muscle weakness.It also happens after swimming. This issue never occurred before, and I’ve been doing these activities for the past four years without any problems. I have consulted various doctors and spent a lot of money, but I have not found a solution.

You might be having allergic reactions triggered by your exercise. When you do certain workouts at the gym, like lifting weights or floor exercises, your eye swells up. This could be due to allergens at the gym or materials from the equipment. It's good that outdoor activities don't cause this problem. To prevent the symptoms, try wearing protective eyewear (goggles) at the gym or using antihistamine eye drops before you work out. It's a good idea to consult with an allergist for a complete evaluation and management plan.

Common issues include blurred vision, dryness, or discomfort, often caused by prolonged screen use, allergies, or changes in vision. Solutions can include regular breaks from screens, using lubricating eye drops, and ensuring proper lighting. Maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins also supports good vision. However, I encourage you to schedule an appointment with an eye specialist. They can offer a thorough examination and tailored advice. Taking this step is essential for your overall well-being.

Why my eyes are red and feeling weak and pain in all over body

Male | 21

You probably have the flu, a virus that spreads easily. Flu makes your eyes red and irritated. It causes weakness and body aches too. These comes from your immune system fighting the virus. Get lots of rest, drink fluids, and take pain meds. That can help you feel better soon.

Male | 16

You are experiencing an ailment called eye strain. Nowadays, it is common for people to experience problems with their eyesight. When your eyes are overworked they might be showing kaleidoscope colors or red. This is possible when the eyes are staring at light bulbs for too long. To help, rest your eyes by looking away from screens and lights. Eye drops or glasses may also be useful.
