Eye redness and irritation

My 9-month-old daughter has had redness, eye discharge, and irritation in her eyes for the past 10 days. She keeps rubbing and scratching her eyes with her hands. Please suggest.

Persistent Afterimages

I have been seeing persistent afterimages for a long time and it is not limited to phone, tv, laptop. For ex: I watch a plate, glass, grill, plaster of paris design and look away I see a glimpse of that object for a second. I am working on my laptop and I see it towards the screen after typing then I see the keyboard glimpse. Even on the road if there is a bright sign board or name and I look away, I see a glimpse of that. I have got my dilated retina exam done and it is fine. Even a few months ago I got an MRI Brain Plain done on the suggestion of a neurologist and it's also fine. Recently optho doctor suggested that I go for a Neurologist for ocular migraine. I don't have any headache but sometimes I feel heaviness on the sides and back of my head. I also have many times feel pain in the eyes area. I have lazy eye in LE, floaters, number in both eyes. Taking Bilypsa and L-gautholine for fatty liver from 7 months. Lost 26 Kg of weight in 7 months. Which doctor to visit? I am fed up.

Refractive Error

My son is 3 years old, he doesn't interact much and doesn't and doesn't follow instructions. Recently he has been diagnosed with refractive error in both eyes. The doctor has prescribed a minimum number as of now -2.00 Cyl in RE & -3.00 Cyl in LE. He said his LE number can be more. There is a sph number also. Can someone tell me what needs to be done. As I have seen at multiple places the number keeps on increasing until 18 years of age. Also the doctor has prescribed Pataone drops once a day and ecotears plus (Sodium Hyaluronate 0.18) drops twice a day. Any suggestions and help matters.
