Eye Drop Question
I spoke with one of the doctors here the other day about a dry eye problem. I went to my eye doc and vision was 20/25 in both eyes with glasses of course and that is even with my wet, now dry AMD. GOOD I thought
He said my eyes were very dry and it looked like the redness, itchy, fuzzy vision, and dryness was from allergies. He gave me 2 different drops and said we could try these to see if it helped or if the symptoms returned after I stopped using them, there were Pataday and Xibrom. Like most I didn't ask the questions I should have.
How do you feel about using these for this problem? Will they effect my AMD?

Dear Chasity2000,
These drops are for allergies and inflammation of the eye do not usually affect age related macular degeneration.

Dear Dr Feldman:
Do you think cataract lens replacement and vitrectomy contribute to macular degeneration or are they integral in preventing that condition. It seems surgery and invasion of the eye can be thought to worsen sight,
Thank you
