You may use over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops to reduce allergic symptoms and lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) to relieve irritation. Avoid rubbing your eyes and limit exposure to allergens such as dust mites and pollen. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an eye doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Yes, you can generally use AstaGOLD capsules, a nutritional supplement, along with Acular LS eye drops (Ketorolac tromethamine), as there is no known direct interaction between them.

I noticed a floater in my right eye 20 days ago, and today I can suddenly see only tube-light-like flashes from that side. What should I do?

You should see an ophthalmologist or go to an emergency eye clinic immediately, as sudden flashes and new floaters may indicate a retinal tear or detachment, which can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated promptly. Treatment may involve laser therapy or surgery to prevent further damage. Do not delay or attempt home remedies.
