What are the best eye drops for diabetic retinopathy?

Dear Ms. Lakshmi,

Frequent irritation and pain in the right eye can be caused by several factors, such as dry eyes, allergic reactions, conjunctivitis (eye infection), or even foreign particles in the eye. Sometimes, prolonged screen exposure, inadequate sleep, or environmental irritants like dust and pollution may also contribute.

🔎 General advice:

• Rinse your eyes gently with clean water.

• Limit screen time and get adequate rest.

• Wear protective eyewear (like sunglasses) in dusty or polluted environments.

• Avoid using over-the-counter eye drops without a proper medical evaluation.

👨‍⚕️ Note: Since your symptoms are recurring, it’s important to undergo an in-person eye examination. Recommending specific medicines without evaluating the eye can be unsafe and may not address the root cause.

We recommend that you consult an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) at the earliest. 

Take care of your eyes! 👁️

Dear Madhukanth Ji,

Watery eyes and constant itching are commonly caused by allergic conjunctivitis, dry eyes, or sometimes mild eye infections. These symptoms can also be triggered by dust, pollution, seasonal allergies, or excessive screen time.

👨‍⚕️ Since the symptoms are persistent, we recommend you consult an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) for a proper eye examination. The doctor may evaluate for:

• Allergies or irritants

• Conjunctivitis

• Dry eye syndrome

Please avoid rubbing your eyes, and try rinsing them gently with clean, cold water. Also, stay away from dusty environments and avoid over-the-counter drops without medical advice.

If needed, the HexaHealth team can help you schedule a quick consultation with a verified eye doctor near you.

Take care of your eyes! 👁️

नमस्ते Omprakash ji,

अगर आपको आंखों का ऑपरेशन करवाना है, तो सबसे पहले ये जानना ज़रूरी है कि कौन सी बीमारी या समस्या के लिए ऑपरेशन करना है — जैसे मोतियाबिंद (Cataract), रेटिना की समस्या, या कोई और सर्जरी।

आयुष्मान भारत कार्ड (PM-JAY) के तहत आंखों के कई ऑपरेशन — जैसे मोतियाबिंद की सर्जरी, ग्लूकोमा, रेटिना इलाज आदि — का इलाज पूरी तरह मुफ्त किया जाता है, बशर्ते:

• आपका आयुष्मान कार्ड एक्टिव हो

• अस्पताल आयुष्मान योजना से जुड़ा (empanelled) हो

क्या करना होगा:

1. https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in पर जाएं

2. State में “Delhi” और District में “Central/West/East/North Delhi” जैसी आपकी location चुनें

3. “Speciality” में Ophthalmology या "Eye" चुनें

4. "Search" करें — आपको सभी आयुष्मान पैनल वाले अस्पतालों की लिस्ट मिल जाएगी
