Question 1

i took atropine eye drops to ease with corneal abrasion a week ago..any meds i can take to make its dilating effects go away faster?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately no: Atropine can take a week to washout. There is really not much that will help but waiting.

Question 2

been on tobramycin drops x 4 days for a corneal abrasion - are there any otc eye drops i can also use for the redness?

Accepted Answer

Abrasion: Your abrasions should be healed by now I would think. You could have red eyes from the tobramycin. See your ophthalmologist

Question 3

od dx me w/mild corneal abrasion. she had me buy otc eye drops & nighttime eye lubricant. can i wear a sleep mask @ night as i have trouble sleeping?

Accepted Answer

Go for it: A sleep mask will not disturb the healing of the cornea.  Your eyes will be closed under it and the cornea will fix itself with no issues.

Question 4

i had a corneal abrasion 3 days ago. i went to the ophthalmologist and was given tobradex and systane eye drops.

i use medical marijuana regularly and want to know if it will negatively impact the healing process. how long should i wait to use m.j.?

Accepted Answer

No direct effect: If the use of marijuana impairs your ability to use your eye drops, healing might be negatively effected.  In addition, the use of marijuana may decrease your blink frequency, also slowing healing. You may return to MJ use keeping these things in mind.

Question 5

corneal abrasion 2 days ago. used diclofenac drops and now eye is much better although still slight blurry vision. will this go away by itself in a few days?

Accepted Answer

Corneal abrasion.: These usually heal up just fine, but you should be re-evaluated by an Ophthalmologist in follow-up anyway.  Maybe within the next few days.

Question 6

dad dx'd w/corneal abrasion & hyphema after accidentally hit in eye. dr. rx'd tobradex, atropine drops, alphagan drops and pain med. how long to heal?

Accepted Answer

Dad's doctor's help: This is a question best asked to the treating doctor. When you go to see a doctor(your dad in this case), that is the first question which should be raised....that is the reason for his visit.
But my guess is it should heal in 2-3 weeks. Usually the pain goes away first, that means it is healing well and should be healed in 1-2 weeks.

Question 7

is it ok to use serum cell eye drops when i have my contact lenses in?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is ok: Yes it is ok and there should be no problem but check it with your eye doctor if it is ok for you.

Question 8

how effective is umbilical cord serum eye drops for dry eyes?

Accepted Answer

Serum eye drops: Serum eye drops can be effective for refractory severe dry eye.  Most patients do not need this treatment option though since their dry eye can be controlled with standard therapies.

Question 9

i was prescribed oloflaxacin eye drops for a corneal tear. if i dont use them what happens to my eye?

Accepted Answer

Increases infection : The drops are being used prophylacticly to prevent infection, so not using them would increase the risk.

Question 10

what type of anti-bacteria eye drops would you use for a scratched cornea?

Accepted Answer

Many options...: Please see your eye doctor for an eye exam to see the cause of the scratched cornea, as well as the appropriate treatment.  There are more than 20 possible antibiotic eye drops that can be used, but your eye doctor has to determine the extent of the injury, and whether a bandage contact lens or additional therapy is required.  As well, the frequency of antibiotic drops may change based on the exam.
