  • How do you know if eye pain is serious?

    Hello! If it feels scratchy and gets better in a day or 2, probably not serious, just a small scratch. But if you wear contact lenses, it's probably serious. Also, if it throbs or is tender and lasts more than a couple of days, it should be checked. The associated symptoms matter, close the good eye and check if your vision has changed, which is another concerning sign. Hope that helps! Yara Catoira-Boyle, MD READ MORE

  • Stye in my eye that I squeezed?

    Hello! Styes are no fun and now they seem to have become more prevalent, we suspect due to the mask use. We do not recommend you squeeze them. Instead try a daily warm compress for 5 minutes. Once the style drains, it may become a scar...it is hard to comment without a picture to see exactly where the stye was...I recommend you make an appointment to see an ophthalmologist. Good luck!

  • What causes conjunctivitis of the eye?

    Hello. There are many types of conjunctivitis. The word conjunctivitis means inflamed or red conjunctiva. The causes can be broken down into types: Infectious, allergic, auto-immune, traumatic. Most likely at your age, it us either infection or allergy, if no recent trauma or injury. If yoy have itching, most likely it is allergic, which is treated with drops that are like Claritin for the eye,, available over the counter such as Zaditor. If lots of watering and pain, likely viral, just use artificial tear drops and wash your hands, its very contagious. If sticky discharge, likely bacterial, in which case you need antibiotics. Hope that helps. It is usually not a serious problem, not likely to damage your vision permanently. READ MORE

  • Are eye floaters a problem of the eye or a neurological problem?

    It is not a neuroligical problem. Floaters are tiny spots inside the jelly that fills your eyes. It is very common to develop them and not a reason for concern, unless they are covering your vision or come with flashing or flickering lights. In that case, you may need to see an ophthalmologist within a few days. READ MORE

  • Why do I keep getting a stye?

    The treatment for styes includes antibiotic ointment and warm compresses. If the inflammation and pain get better but you still have a lump, you may want the lump removed by an ophthalmologist. If they keep coming back, it's due to your oil glands being clogged, called blepharitis. You may need long-term oral antibiotics to treat that. READ MORE
