I was on this forum before. My almost ten year old wears ortho- k lenses since 2 1/2 years ago, since then no progression, stay around -3.5 both eyes. Few days ago, she felt a little pain on right eye, the next day, her upper eyelid on right eye little swollen look like a thicker eyelid. I brought her to an experienced opthamogist, he said her right eye - white area has some irritation, the beginning of infection and prescribe eye drop. Still cornea is clear which is good. She is not really suffering anything, now using eye drop for 4 days without lenses. I plan to skip her lenses for another 6 days after 4 day eyedrop! I as the mother really get frustrated and worried! We washed hands, use clear care daily and she doesn't rub eyes! All we did was we went to the park and was windy the day before her right eye started!! She had a similar minor infection 1 1/2 years ago on another eyelid, cornea clear, few days of eye drop, skipped another few days of lenses was fine! I don't know it is the sugar from candy or windy day at park or stress or puberty .. I just want to stop any irritation from happening. She had a couple of minor blog pores in eyelid before! Can daily warm compress on both eyes help to prevent ? Dr please advise!
