Question 1

what eye drop ingredient gives me inflamed eye lids? 
i tried fresh kote, dry eye rejuvenation by b&l and visine tired eye relief. in succession

Accepted Answer

BAK Preservative: Benzalkonium Chloride is a common preservative in eye drops, including artificial tears. It can cause an allergic reaction in some people if the tears are used frequently. Try preservative-free single use vials of ocular lubricants and you should be okay for frequent dosing. Another alternative are these new electronic misting devices to spray a little cloud of clean water in your eyes. See EyeMD.

Question 2

hi doctor .is acetazolamide drug is available as eye drop because i took it as tablet and it cause me numbness in hands and feet and tiredness?

Accepted Answer

Not here: Even if it were it would not work but only on the eye and not have the same effects as the tablets

Question 3

is there something that i can do for dry eys except eye drops i take precribed drops evening and morning and midday. my eyes are making me tired?

Accepted Answer

Dry eyes : Make sure your diagnosis is right,  if you are wrong and the consequences could be grave, get the opinion of an ophthalmologist, well worth the expense.

Question 4

i have perpetually red and tired eyes. eye drops are not effective. is there another solution?

Accepted Answer

See your eye doctor: Tired eyes are often dry and red, and may benefit from artificial tears. If you use drops to relieve redness (like visine(r)), they can lead to increased red eyes over time, so only use them occasionally.  Eyes that stay red and irritated should be evaluated - there are often stronger treatments that your eye doctor may need to prescribe to treat the underlying cause of your symptoms.

Question 5

i put ice on both my eyes. now my eyes look tired & puffy. when i press my upper lid, eyes hurt. with massage, pain reduced. any eye drops, i can use?

Accepted Answer

Meibomitis: You might want to see an ophthalmologist.  Allergies do well with cold compresses which did not work for you.  Massaging the eye releases the bad oil out of the lids and makes them feel better.

Should see an ophthalmologist who can properly diagnose and treat this for you.  In the mean time try warm compresses instead!

Question 6

what is wrong with me? i have dry/tired feeling in both of my eyes every day for over a month sometimes it is more intense in the right eye than the left. i have taken eye drops but it hasnt stopped?

Accepted Answer

: The diagnosis &amp; treatment of dry eyes can be tricky and there are ophthalmologists who specialize in this. You may have a blockage in  ducts in your eyelid. In addition to the drops, which you should instill according to the instructions, apply warm clean water compresses to eyelids every few hours. If improvement, consult an ophthalmologist.

Question 7

eyes were tired & itchy, suddenly it felt like something moved in my eye, like it squirmed for 2 seconds. no pain. eye drops helped. spasm? parasites?

Accepted Answer

Tired eyes: What you are describing sounds like eye fatigue and the movement was most likely a spasm. Make sure you get plenty of rest and avoid overuse of the computer. Lay down for a few minutes and apply a cold compress to your upper lids and try to relax

Question 8

dry, tired eyes.headache. fatigue. occasional nosebleed. lubricating eye drops help but only for a short time.

Accepted Answer

?allergy mediated?: Could be allergy mediated symptoms you are having.  Sometimes the type of heat you have (forced air through vents, as opposed to floor radiation, etc) can cause dryness, nose bleeds, etc at this time of year as well.  If the over the counter allergy medications and saline nasal spray, with the eye drops are not helping, you would benefit form getting examined by an allergist. Best wishes.

Question 9

computers = eye strain? i spend a lot of time in front of a computer monitor, both at work and at home. before i log off at night, i often find my eyes feel tired and/or dry. should i use eye drops, or do i need to get a life away from my computers? is st

Accepted Answer

When : When staring at the computer screen, your eyes may dry out. In addition to resting your eyes, you can also try over-the-counter artificial tears while working at the computer. Also try to remember to blink when working at the computer.

If you have eye strain and over 40, you may need a prescription for glasses to work at the computer. The reading distance is a little further than the distance for reading books, so an intermediate reading prescription may be needed.

If you do not use prescription distance glasses normally, you can also use over-the-counter reading glasses. I recommend patients to try on different powers, and see which ones are most clear at the distance they normally sit from their computer screen.

Question 10

i have dry eyes. i already have glasses and i took eye drops for 2 months. do i just have to go to an actual eye doctor. idk what to do im tired of it?

Accepted Answer

Dry eyes: Can have many causes.  If OTC eye drops don't help in 2 days, let alone 2months, continued usage will not suddenly begin to help, and may actually do harm.  See an Opthalmologist, a specialist eye physician, to discover cause, and to then prescribe the appropriate treatment.  You need a comprehensive eye examination. Not a computer link.
