My eyesight seems to be worsening day by day, and I experience discomfort or excessive brightness while seeing light. I am currently using Novoret tablets and Optive Fusion eye drops. What should I do next?

Gradually worsening eyesight along with discomfort or excessive brightness while looking at light can happen due to several eye conditions, such as dry eyes, refractive error (change in glasses power), eye strain from screens, allergy, cataract, corneal problems, migraine-related sensitivity, or retinal issues. Since your symptoms are increasing despite using Novoret tablets and Optive Fusion eye drops, it is important not to rely only on medicines without a detailed eye examination. The eye drops may help with dryness and irritation, but they may not treat the actual cause of decreasing vision or light sensitivity. You should consult an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) for a complete eye check-up, including vision testing, eye pressure measurement, and examination of the retina and cornea. Until then, reduce excessive screen exposure, take regular breaks while using mobile or computer screens, wear sunglasses outdoors if bright light bothers you, and avoid rubbing the eyes. Ensure proper sleep, hydration, and a healthy diet containing green vegetables, fruits, nuts, and foods rich in vitamins helpful for eye health. Seek urgent medical attention if you notice sudden vision loss, severe headache, flashes of light, floaters, redness, or eye pain. Early examination is important because some eye conditions can worsen gradually if not diagnosed and treated in time.
