What causes floating images and flashes in the eyes?
Hi doctor,
I am 29 years old, and I see some floating images and sometimes see a small flash of light in both the eyes. I consulted a doctor, who told me to take Vesoret capsule and use Nevanac eye drops for three months. But after using it for three months, there is no difference. Please give me some suggestions.

Diabetic patient with retina problem, what treatment would be suggested?
Hello doctor,
I am 54 years old. I am a diabetic patient since 24 years. I have a retina problem in both the eyes. I had a laser surgery in both my eyes two years ago. It was repeated last year with three injections of Avastin and this year, the laser surgery was done only in the right eye. But, I cannot see very well. I see something like a black point. So, I got checked for ischemic eye stroke. I checked with two doctors in my city. The first said that there is a cataract in the right eye and that three injections Eylea, Ozurdex, and Accentrix had to be given, while the left eye is well. The second said that the cataract was in the beginning stage and no removal is required. Only an injection of Accentrix and two laser treatments would suffice. So, now I am confused. Please help me. I have attached few pictures.
Thank you.

I accidentally got eyelash remover gel in my eye. Do I have to go to the ER?
Hello doctor,
I accidentally got eyelash remover gel in my eye. I flushed it out with water for 15 minutes at 6.30 PM and then again at 8 PM. It still seems red, burns, and my vision is a bit blurry. The gel has these ingredients: propylene carbonate, polyethylene glycol, ethoxyethanol, methoxy ethanol, paraben, and vinyl polymer salt. Do I have to go to the ER?
