Refresh Tears Eye Drops contains Carboxymethylcellulose 0.5% w/v, a lubricating ingredient used to relieve eye dryness and irritation. However, in a 1 year old baby, it should only be used if advised by a paediatrician or ophthalmologist, because eye symptoms at this age can have different causes, such as infection, allergy, or blocked tear duct. Proper medical evaluation is important before using any eye drops in infants or young children.

It is completely normal to feel some occasional itching even while using your prescribed treatments. Your Refresh Tears (lubricant), FML (fluorometholone), and Chlorocol (chloramphenicol ointment) are working together to heal your eyes and soothe inflammation. Sometimes, the healing process itself, dry eyes, or mild environmental allergies can cause temporary itching. Most minor eye conditions improve significantly within one to two weeks of consistent use. Since your regimen includes a steroid (FML), please ensure you follow up with your doctor to monitor your progress.

Long hours looking at screens can cause dry, irritated eyes because we blink less often. While Refresh Tears can help, using them only twice a day might not be enough. You can safely increase preservative-free artificial tears (lubricant eye drops) to four times daily and practice the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. If your eye does not improve in a couple of days, or if you experience pain, vision changes, or discharge, please see an eye care professional for a proper evaluation.

When using moxifloxacin and lubricating drops, these halos are often caused by temporary corneal swelling from an underlying infection, dry eyes, or even the temporary film left by the eye drops themselves. While this can be a common part of the healing process, experiencing this persistently for ten days means your eyes are still recovering. To ensure your healing is on track and to check your eye pressure, I highly recommend scheduling a quick follow-up visit with your eye specialist.

It sounds like you are experiencing digital eye strain, which is very common and easily managed. For quick relief, you can use over-the-counter lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) containing ingredients like carboxymethylcellulose or polyethylene glycol. These help soothe and rehydrate dry, tired eyes. Avoid "redness-relief" drops, as they can worsen irritation over time. Additionally, try the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds, and remember to blink frequently. If your eye pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by vision changes, please consult an eye specialist for a proper examination.

A burning sensation in your eyes may be caused by dryness, eye strain, or an outdated spectacle prescription. Try taking regular breaks from screens, using lubricating eye drops (artificial tears), and ensuring your glasses prescription is up to date. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please see an optician or eye doctor for a proper check-up.
