Can you get herpes in an eye?
 
How soon can you fly after cataract surgery?
 
How long does it take for cataracts to develop?
 
How do I get rid of floaters?
 
I'm going to have cataract surgery soon, and I have to make a decision about what type of lenses to have implanted.
 
What medication is used to treat a fungal eye infection?
 
I am 58 years old and have had floaters for years now. This week, I noticed an increase in floaters and am now seeing lightning flashes occasionally (not consistently) in the peripheral part of my right eye.
 
What is the best treatment for dry eye?
 
I am getting to the point where my cataracts are interfering with my daily activities, so I think I’ll have surgery soon. But I take Flomax on a daily basis and I’ve heard that it can cause a problem during eye surgery. Is that true?
 
I have been told that I cannot have LASIK or any similar surgical procedure because I have mild keratoconus but could have an intraocular lens implanted (to reduce my need for contacts or glasses).
 
My husband always uses protective eyewear when he’s in his workshop, but now he’s telling me that I should use it when I’m out working in the yard. Do I really need to have protective eyewear to do my gardening chores?
