Do I need to treat pterygium with little yellow color veins?
Hello doctor,
This query is about pterygium. The redness has subsided since this morning and first noticed this, and just left with little veins and a little yellow color. My GP has advised to leave it a couple of weeks for it to disappear. Please advise if this may be the case.

Diagnosed with lattice degeneration. Please help?
Hi doctor,
I am 35 years old. I have experienced visual auras (migraine aura) for the past three years, maybe once every two to three months (it often occurs after alcohol consumption). I have eye floaters and have experienced seeing streaks of light, a speck of light with closed eyes, and sometimes light sources are burned into my vision for about 10 minutes (I have noticed it is mostly in the right eye). I got examined and diagnosed with lattice degeneration, right. But never really understood what it means, or if any other reason for my visual phenomena are still there.

How can I cure 5 mm internal stye?
Hello doctor,
I have had an internal stye in my bottom eyelid for over a year. It is about 5 mm in diameter and it is not painful but it is very noticeable. Can my GP drain it, or do I have to wait for a hospital appointment? I have done the warm compresses several times daily (not for the whole duration but for a week and nothing has happened) but it is not going away.

Why do I have eye redness, discharge, and dry eyes?
Hello doctor,
I was prescribed Pred Forte (four times a day for 15 days), Gatifloxacin (three times a day for seven days), and Lubistar eye drops for eye redness, discharge, and dry eyes. I completed the dosage. Now, after three days of dose completion, my eyes are worse than before. The white parts of the eyes have completely turned blood red, with a plastic fiber like white discharge, stuck eyelid in the morning, Now, I am scared to use any medicine. What should I do? Please help. I have had eye allergy during summer in childhood but from five to six years there has been no problem.
