the only thing I can think of is that the pharmacist thought this was too much, or do you state anywhere in your pharmacy records that generics are okay? If its bothering you this much take the bottle to your pharmacist and ask them why they filled it this way and tell them the situation, child discomfort, difficulty administering... Doesn't make any sense to me at all

Doctors dilate your eyes to be able to see the back of the eye (the retina).  It's important that the retina is healthy and functioning properly.  If you have glaucoma or high intraocular pressure, your doctor may not want to dilate you (it may induce angle closure glaucoma in at-risk patients).  It's also not a good idea if you have very high blood pressure.  As far as common side effects, your vision will be blurry for 3-4 hours after the drops and you may be extra light sensitive for that time.

I get red eyed also without swim goggles.  I have never heard of any long term effects.  It's uncomfortable yes, but goggles are such a pain.

No of course your eyes won't get hurt!  What you should do you avoid eye strain is look out your window every 30-40 minutes of computer use.  Focus your eyesight at SOMETHING FAR then look at a closer object, then something far, etc. for 1-2 minutes.  Then close your eyes and gently press on your eyelids for a few seconds  before going back to your computer.

There is something called Tuja or Thuja.  Maybe homeopath medicine.  Consult a doctor since the child is quite small and the area is near the eye.

close your eyes for at least 15 minutes, go to an eye Doctor and see if you damaged your eyes, and don't do it again.

Why not try an optometrist.  She may need glasses, could be corrected.  Don't wait till she starts school.  Kids can be cruel.  Happened to me.  Fine now!

Basic answer: no.\nReduced IOP has been associated with marijuana use, but that hardly classes as "natural."\n\nIn the absence of any other factors pressure readings around 23 are not that worrying, provided regular check-ups are performed, at  6/12  to 1 year intervals.\n\nYou don't need to worry about eyestrain or any other sort of activity, or nutrition unless it is significanlty deficient.\n\nIOP's are not as important as they were thought to be 10-15 years ago.  Then it was quite clear.  High IOP's (anything much over 20) meant glaucoma.  It was then discovered that some people ran their eyes at significantly higher pressure without any apparent harm.(Ocular hypertension).  \nJust to complicate it further, it has also been discovered that some people develop glaucoma while having quite normal IOP's (low-tension glaucoma).\n\nSo you can have pressures up to 30 and be OK, and be in trouble with pressures of 12 -16 mmhg.  But both would be unusual.\n\nIf ocular hypertension is confirmed, all it should mean is more frequent eye-checks than the average.  Field tests and optic nerve examination.should keep they eyes safe.  Having good records, the mentioned "benchmark", will help.  In such cases the pressure doesn't give us much of a guide. \n\nBest wishes.\n(UK optometrist)

Depends on who you ask. If you ask your dr. he'll say yes. If you ask parents who educate themselves on this issue, we'll say NO. It is much safer, if you do them at all, to ask your dr. to give your baby only a couple at a time. It means more injections for the baby, but it's less taxing on the immune system. Some kids have no problems with this. Thing is, when you go into the dr. to get the shots, you have no idea if your baby's immune system is low at that time. If for some reason it is, and you overload him/her with live viruses, it can be really hard for the immune system to react. This CAN cause the body to not be able to learn to fight the diseases, which is how immunizations work, and therefore the baby can get extremely sick from this. They can either develop the disease your trying to prevent or they can develop devastating consequences. I lost a baby cousin within 24 hours of receiving whatever it is they give at four months. It was written off as SIDS, because they are not required to do a toxocology report on an infant when it dies. I know of another baby personally that this happened to,also. I don't immunize my kids. I feel we live in a day and age that it's just not necessary. But that's my opinion. For people who insist on doing it, my plea is that you have it broken down into smaller amounts, or that you wait until the baby is older and their immune system has had a chance to develop some more. We worry about how their lungs will be developed when born, can they hear, are they turning over on time, but nobody seems to question the development of the immune system. And that's the one thing we can't really know about without testing them each time they get their shots.

hot compresses to the area of inflammation can help increase blood supply and potentiate spontaneous drainage. good personal hygiene with attention to cleansing the eyelids on a daily basis to prevent recurrent infections.\nApplication of an antibiotic ointment such as erythromycin to the margin of the eyelid after proper cleansing. Except in children under age 12. If it becomes localized to a single gland then incision, drainage, and curettage is sometimes necessary.\n\nUse a solution of tap water and baby shampoo or commercially prepared hypoallergenic cleanser.  THE STY SHOULD NOT BE SQUEEZED.\n\nSee your doc as soon as possible for an antibiotic if necessary.

I tend to horse around a bit much - but I am serious when I say my youngest brother's eye was healed.\n\nThe problem was when we were kids he scratched eye and did not tell anyone, just rubbing his eye occasionally.  after several days of this the parents finally questioned him (the boy didn't cry or go on over it, and you know it hurt)..., they took him to the eye doctor and he they waited too long  - scarring had set up and he would have blurred vision in that one eye. He gave him some eye drops for the pain, and some medicine for a slight irritation.\n\nA few days later was prayed for by the Church - the next morning my little brother could see clearly.  The scar was gone! Finito!\n\nI could tell you other such true stories and far more interesting experiences - but somehow I really doubt you believe me, or would try to explain some other reason for this healing if you did believe me.\n\nIf you do not believe me? I'm not going to loose any sleep over it. What I said is true regardless of what anyone else thinks. I have nothing to gain other than just sharing. I don't want your money nor to benefit from you one way or another.

Well, if you use your vision for precision necessary excercises like reading or looking carefully at computer screens, pictures, etc etc, they will get dry.  If you do nothing and they still do, then you need to use drops.  Just the ones that are similar to natural tear drops.  Even the ones for people who wear contacts work well.  It doesnt matter if you wear contacts or not.  But, on the flip side, you might need to see a doctor beacause the tear ducts might be a bit small on your eyes so its a bit difficult to get moisture.  What they do is shoot a laser right at the tear duct to open it up a bit.  This is done almost painlessly.  Its a slight burn for about an hour or two.  At most it would be there till the next morning.  But, without this procedure, you might go blind early because there was not enough lubrication to protect your eyes and eyesight till your ripe age.  So ask your doctor.  In the mean time, those eye drops will work well.  Do not forgo this because its really important to your eyes.  you can lose a finger and still live a happy life, but if you lose your eyesights, you will regret it for the rest of your life.  I wish you the best of luck.

eyes are pink/red and itchy\n\nif there is yellowish gunk in it, its bacterial and you can get a prescription for your doctor to shorten its duration. if theyre just red and there isnt gunk, its probably either viral or allergies and there isnt much you can do- you can get over the counter eye drops and that's about it. you can try putting a hot, wet cloth kid's eyes (with his eyes closed) and that can provide some releif.
