Q&A

Answered by Dr. Peter Mark G. Chao

My eye pain started after looking solar eclipse with naked eye for a few seconds. Please help.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I need to ask some valuable questions to better assess and give you an appropriate diagnosis and treatment for your problem. Can you send a picture? Does one eye or both eyes are affected? Does it have eye discharge? Tearing? Redness? Or only pain? Does the pain extend to the head? Are you instilling any eyedrop?.

I have a slightly swollen lower left eyelid for three days. Is it an STD?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your picture shows mild conjunctivitis (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You need an eye ointment. Apply a warm compress for ten minutes over the inflamed area for three days. Apply Tobradex ointment (Tobramycin and Dexamethasone) four times a day for two weeks over the inflamed area.
