I have tired eyes, and I can see floaters. Is it due to my age factor?
Hello doctor,
I have always been a little sensitive to light, maybe because I work a lot in front of a screen. I have seen some eye floaters for a couple of years when looking at something bright-like in snow, white screen, or skies. Two weeks ago, my eyes got very tired after using a smartphone screen and working with graphics a lot. I started to notice eye floaters all the time. They seem to be worse when I am tired. I am health conscious; after reading many stories on the internet. Some say eye floaters are just a normal part of aging, and some say it can be a sign of retina detachment and so on. I just took an eye test, and it says everything looks normal, and my eyes have not changed much from 0.00 - + 0.25. I have not used glasses. Later, I ordered prescription glasses with a blue light blocker, which may help my tired eyes. I have attached the fundus image and want a second opinion on how everything looks? I also took an eye pressure test with a puff test, and it showed 15 mm of Hg in one eye and 18 mm of Hg in the other. Is this fine? Please advise.

Can you please suggest medicine for my dry eyes in winter?
Hello doctor,
I was diagnosed with dryness in the eyes five years back. It happens only during winter. I had irritation in the eyes, which was somewhat relieved by washing with water. I was advised to use Lubrex-DS eye drops three times a day. It is no longer giving me relief. The use of Lubrex-DS eye drops makes it worse. I have no other (diagnosed) eye ailment. I use two aspects for reading, and I do not use spectacles for long-distance. Can you please prescribe me more effective medicine? Please help.

What is the reason for eye floaters and persistent increased intraocular pressure?
Hello doctor,
I am a 39-year-old female. I am diabetic and taking Glycomet, Empagliflozin, and Vildagliptin. My HbA1c level is about 7.3. I have been taking a calcium channel blocker (25 mg) for three years now to control tachycardia. I do not take any other medications. I have never had vision problems until about six months ago. I wear glasses, but my power is minimal (-0.75 to -1) in both eyes, and I have cylindrical and spherical power. Six to eight months back, I started experiencing floaters, and I had a thorough eye check-up of my retina, fundus, etc., to ensure that there was no problem. The test results were normal. My intraocular pressure has always been high (23 to 24 mm Hg), which has been the case for the last several years, but my optic nerve has always been fine. I have not been prescribed any medication to treat my eye pressure. However, for the last couple of months, I have been experiencing some vision issues. It is more pronounced these days. For example, looking at a white tube light even for a few seconds, I start seeing yellow lines all over, which fade away in, say, 30 seconds. I see any patterns on the floor or tv. When I look at a wall nearby, I can see the after image briefly, and it fades. I once saw full horizontal grids in my vision for close to two minutes after seeing my phone for a long time. It has never happened before. My other concern is when I look at a plain blank wall, and I see floaters, I see jumping or moving lights (it is not light, but a feeling of things moving, it is very hard to explain). I had a retinal examination done again, and the doctor told me that there was no issue. I am very nervous and anxious! Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
