Vision dropped in 1 week (father, 78 years), both eyes, one worse. Anything related to retina here?  Had cataract in one eye but he didn't undergo surgery last year and opted for ayurvedic treatment instead. Also the dog bite him in the leg last week but the vaccination was done within 48 hrs. Anything related to dog bite ?

Watery eyes from Soha eye drop

Most respected opthalmologists here. I had been using Soha eye drops from year 2021 ,3-4 times a day, without any issue. However from last December onwards, my eyes started to water immensely post instilling Soha eye drops. Previously I used Systane ultra from 2014 - 2019. I was diagnosed with MGD in both eyes in 2023. This year i started lubimoist which gave temporary relief and eyes got back to watering state soon. Got my eyes tested. Everything's ok. Tried Systane hydration on Doctor's recommendation but eyes again get watery post instilling these.  Am contemplating using Soha Liquigel. Is it safe to instill Soha Liquigel BD or even TDS, lifelong? Which eye drop is particularly suitable for MGD? Can Eyemist drops/genteel gel help better? Warmest Regards, forever 🙏🏻

Viral keratitis

Dry eyes syndrome

I have dry eyes syndrome and my screen time each day is 11 to 12 hours including phone and laptop as i am a student and i have to watch long lectures . I have been prescribed two eyes drops by a doc in my locality - 1st is haloeye pg and 2nd is lotemox- pf , i have been told to use both the eyedrops simultaneously in a gap of 5 minutes 4 times a day for two weeks , earlier i have used advance lube eye drop for around two months there was no such problem but two days back after using the drop i found some irritation and itching in my tear gland and im not sure it was due to the drop or my dry eyes , i searched on google and found out that lotemox pf eye drop is for bacterial infection, redness and inflammation but i have non of these , should i use both of the drops prescribed together? I also get light sensitivity and sometimes i have to shrink my eyes to see some small text or bright thing and i already wear power spects , i also have restricted eyeball rotation inmy left eye by birth
