Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My eye pain feels like throbbing. So I went to see a doctor, and all they told me was to wear my glasses, and this has been happening for four years now. I am not taking any medication. I am a 19-year-old male, 5’8 in height and weighing 127 kgs.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If your doctor is telling you to wear glasses, you should wear them if you have a significant refractive error. If you do not want to wear glasses, at least wear contacts or do LASIK (laser-assisted in situ kerato mileusis). Till that, start warm compresses on your eyes daily twice, and begin with eye drop Ocurest (Naphazoline 0.05 % w/v and Phenylephrine 0.12 % w/v) three times a day for 15 days if available at your place. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them and take medicines with their consent. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
