Dr. Jane Hughes M.D.'s Expert Contributions
  • What is the best medicine for watery eyes?

    There are many causes of watery eyes. A first line harmless intervention is over the counter moisture supplements such as Refresh Tears, Systane products, or equivalents. If these fail to relieve your symptoms than consult with an ophthalmology to diagnose the underlying problem and therefore the correct treatment. READ MORE

  • How can I hydrate my eyes after LASIK?

    After LASIK a temporary dryness is induced. I have my patients use Genteal Gel when sleeping and frequent (4-5 times/day) preservative free moisture drops. My first choice is Refresh Plus. These are OTC. This dryness resolves over the first month or two after LASIK in the vast majority of patients who don’t have an underlying dry eye problem. Jane Lindell Hughes, MD, FACS READ MORE

  • Are contact lenses safe to use?

    If properly fitted, if the wearer adheres to the wearing time, absolute cleanliness in storage and handling, and if the wearer has been instructed on when to stop the contact lens and contact the prescribing ophthalmologist, then contact lenses are safe. Poor hygiene, keeping two week disposables for a month of wear, ignoring irritation or other symptoms, are all risky behaviors for a contact lens wearer and could lead to serious eye conditions, some sight threatening. READ MORE

  • Why does my eyelid twitch?

    Eyelid twitching is usually a benign spasm of the muscle that surrounds the eye. It can be from various causes such as stress, too much caffeine, not enough sleep, and unless it progresses to a facial twitch we usually do not worry about it. It can be understood like hiccoughs which can come many times in several days and then not again for months. If it persists for more than a few weeks, then consult with an ophthalmologist who will decide if you need further evaluation. READ MORE

  • Should my child get colored contacts?

    Colored contact lenses are thicker than some of the other products on the market. When used properly in someone used to wearing contact lenses (not sleeping in them, proper storage and cleaning, etc.), they are fine for special occasions. There is a higher incidence of intolerance to thicker contact lenses manifested by irritation, redness, and discomfort. If any of these develop, they should be discontinued. Jane Lindell Hughes, MD, FACS READ MORE

  • My left eye has been constantly watering. What can I do about it?

    If it itches it is allergy. Try Zaditor OTC which used to be prescription. If no itching then try moisturizer drop like otc Refresh. If these fail then you need ophthalmologic evaluation. READ MORE

  • Why does my baby have so much sticky substance coming out of her eyes?

    She may have nasolacrimal duct partial obstruction. Many babies outgrow this as their facial structures mature, but this needs to be evaluated by a pediatric ophthalmologist. READ MORE

  • Can you suggest some natural ways to reduce squinty eyes?

    The most important thing for your son is to find out why he is squinting. The need for glasses, allergies, and less commonly inflammatory conditions can all cause squinting. You didn’t mention how old his is, but eye misalignment can be serious and cause a certain type of squinting. An ophthalmologist can evaluate for these problems. READ MORE

  • When are you at risk of diabetic retinopathy?

    Diabetics need yearly dilated eye exams. Diabetic retinopathy usually does not occur until 5 years into the disease, but some individuals have it and haven’t been diagnosed. Good control of blood sugars coupled with PCP monitoring and ophthalmologic care can maximize the chances of avoiding diabetic complications. READ MORE

  • What could be the reason for pain in my left eye?

    Pain in the eye should prompt evaluation by an ophthalmologist, especially if it a throbbing pain or ache. READ MORE

  • When should I get my daughter's first eye checkup done?

    Most pediatricians are good at screening little kids for eye problems. However, if you have a family history of strabismus (crrossed eye or lazy eye) a child should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist by age 1. For all others age four is a good age to insure that a child sees well and doesn’t need glasses before entering pre-K READ MORE

  • I have a lot of floaters in my eyes. Will it make me blind?

    I hate to sound like a broken record regarding evaluations, but the first step is to have an eye exam to see why at your you g age you have “floaters”. People who are extremely near sighted can experience floaters at an earlier age. There are inflammatory conditions as well as retinal issues that can cause floaters. There can be serious consequences to some of the causes of floaters. Fortunately most of the time they are benign even though they are annoying. READ MORE
