Dear rasivoso63,
I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD and have your eyes checked to determine the cause of burning and “stress”.

Dear Lilscoop,
I would recommend that you seek a second opinion as you are not confident. You should be examined for possible tear or detachment given the increased floaters.

Dear sam76990,
Sometimes, following cataract surgery one can appreciate a fine glimmer of light from the implant. This may occur. Speak with your eyeMD further.

These symptoms are not typical of contact lens wearers. It is possible that the fit is not ideal so seek the care of an eyeMD.

Dear nisha902,
Usually, one drop will not cause an issue but the medicines and preservatives in eyedrops may be absorbed by the lens. Use only eye drops recommended by your eyeMD.
