Hi Would not worry about it, it's got a scary name though of Subconjunctival haemorrhage but looks worse than it actually is. In your case it could be a dry eye problem causing it. It should clear up in a few days. The aircon wont help. Use lubricating drops regularly every few hours not just when t...

Hi I can't see any problem. Assuming he has a gap in his appointments so you can fit it in. Pack all the medications in your hand luggage (new unopened bottles). Take a copy of the discharge letter from the hospital. You should look at taking out travel insurance that covers existing medical conditi...

Did this experiment a couple of years ago when I hadn't got any lenses in. Lost count but it was in the high 30's and the same for both eyes

Hi Jacob Celluvisc comes in a couple of flavors 0.5 and 1%. The 1% is more gloopy so it may be worth asking for that. I was told to use it every couple of hours. I and a lot of people make the mistake of using drops only when the eye is dry. Unfortunatly that's not how Celluvisc works it takes a whi...

So placed on waiting list for cataract op They are going to go with a standard lens and possibly pop a c...
