You have:
• Dry Eye Syndrome (on lubricants, improved)
• Posterior Subcapsular Cataract (mild) → explains light sensitivity & occasional blur
Next Steps
• Continue current eye drops:
– Lubricants regularly (Aquim PF, gel at night)
• Eye check-up:
– Every 6–12 months to monitor cataract progression
• Consider surgery only if:
– Vision significantly interferes with daily activities
• Check for contributing factors:
– Blood sugar (diabetes)
– Any past steroid use
Health Tips
• Use sunglasses outdoors (for light sensitivity)
• Limit screen time, take breaks (20-20-20 rule)
• Blink frequently to reduce dryness
• Stay hydrated
⚠️ Red flags:
• Rapid vision decline
• Increased glare at night (driving difficulty)
