Eye problems range from Amblyopia –lazy eye- to Strabismus-crossed eyes-. However I shall confine this article to problems which may be encountered during the festive season.

Pink eye, is not always caused by over indulgence or lack of sleep. It can be a viral or bacterial infection. Conventional treatment may consist of antibiotics, ointment or drops if a bacterial infection. Antihistamines, corticosteroids and antiviral preparations may also be prescribed where appropriate.

Pain behind the eyes a common complaint which may occur at the same time as a headache. However this should not be ignored. If it persists consult your doctor or optician. There is the possibility that the problem is Glaucoma. Treated by reducing the pressure behind the eyes, intraocular pressure

Blurred vision, another seasonal problem which if it persists must be taken seriously. The blurry vision if combined with a constant dry mouth can be the symptoms of diabetes. Only a possibility of course, but a simple test will allay any doubts.

Dry eye. More common with the older generation, treated with a tear substitute, may be a symptom of other ocular problems. Professional help must always be sought.
