Hello doctor,
My father is 80-years-old. He has diabetes and has been bedridden. He has a black spot in the right eye, anf it is causing discomfort. Please suggest and guide how to manage this issue as we cannot take him to a local doctor in this pandemic. Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There is a jelly-like substance in the eye called vitreous, and as age progresses, it starts to liquefy, and you begin seeing floaters, or it also happens in high myopes. You should go to an ophthalmologist immediately if there is an increase in the number of these floaters or decreased vision or if you see flashes of light, as these are the signs of retinal detachment. Treatment can be advised after the examination. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Thank you doctor,
I want to know if any eye drop will help reduce the symptoms. Please suggest because my father is bedridden.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com
I suggest Amplinak eye drops (Nepafenac) three times a day. Thank you.
