  • What eye drops can I use for eye infections?

    What eye drops can I use for eye infections? I have an eye infection and want to treat it. What eye drops can I use for eye infections? *It would be impossible to answer this question accurately without more information. Why? Because it is the same as asking "I think I have an infection. What medications can I use to treat it?"The information needed would include: 1. How do you know you have an infection of your eye? What are the signs and symptoms? Is there pus coming out of your eye? Is the vision in that eye very blurry? Have you had cultures taken to show that it is a bacterial infection as opposed to a viral infection? 2. Bacterial infections of the eye (that is those infections that would be appropriately treated with antibiotics) are actually quite rare. The most common kind are infectious keratitis secondary to poor contact lens hygiene/overwear. Viral infections (viral conjunctivitis, commonly called "pink eye") are far more common than bacterial conjunctivitis. And viral infections of the conjunctiva cannot be treated with antibiotics - those only work on bacteria. 3. Many other conditions - allergic conjunctivitis, severe dry eyes, blepharitis, etc. can cause inflammation of the ocular surface and mimic symptoms of infections. None of these would benefit from antibiotic treatment.4. Viral keratitis - a viral infection of the cornea of the eye - is usually caused by the Herpes simplex virus. Those infections can be treated with antivirals like ganciclovir ointment (Zirgan) or topical acyclovir.* *So if you 'think' you have an eye infection, it could be: - Allergic conjunctivitis- Advanced dry eye disease- blepharitis- Viral conjunctivitis- Viral keratitis- Bacterial keratitis- Fungal keratitis- Autoimmune keratitis (Mooren's ulcer, etc.)And that just covers the most common external inflammatory diseases and infections of the ocular surface. Iritis, endophthalmitis, cannaliculitis, and many other diseases can cause inflammation of the eyes. If you are concerned that you may have an "infection" of your eye, you should see an ophthalmologist who diagnoses and treats infections of the eye.* *Disclaimer: This is not medical advice. Medical advice is what you get when you see your doctor. What you get from the internet when you ask questions with inadequate information is 'worth what you pay for it'.* READ MORE

  • How can I lower my intraocular pressure naturally?

    Well, really you can't, at least not to any great degree. Exercise can lower intraocular pressure, but only for a few hours after the exercise https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5338046/#:~:text=%5B1%2C2%2C3%5D,within%20a%20mild%20exercise%20activity.. Then the pressure goes back to its pre-exercise state. The real advantage to regular exercise is that it improves circulation, which of itself, lowers the risk of glaucoma. READ MORE
