Question
I’ve been feeling eye pain lately, and it’s especially noticeable when I spend long periods looking at my phone and computer. I live in a rural area and have visited several hospitals. Some say it’s glaucoma, and others say it’s trachoma. I want to ask an ophthalmologist about the possibility of other eye diseases?
Answer
Eye pain accompanied by excessive tearing may be a sign of eye strain, triggered by excessive computer use. It is recommended to use antibiotic eye drops such as levofloxacin hydrochloride, along with anti-fatigue eye drops like Schirin, for treatment. In the future, try to reduce screen time, increase physical activity, and always ensure sufficient deep sleep to gradually recover to normal. Glaucoma can cause symptoms such as eye pain, nausea, vomiting, and severe vision decline.
