As an ophthalmologist, I see this every week.

Headaches that:
• Worsen by evening
• Start after long screen use
• Feel heavy on the forehead or around the eyes

are often linked to eye strain.

Common causes:
– Uncorrected or outdated spectacle number
– Astigmatism
– Dry eye from screens
– Poor blinking habits
– Long hours without breaks

When your eyes struggle to focus, the tiny muscles inside them keep contracting all day. That constant effort translates into dull, nagging headaches.

Here’s what helps:

✔ Get a proper eye check-up
✔ Update your glasses if needed
✔ Follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds)
✔ Treat dry eye early
✔ Reduce glare and improve screen ergonomics

Don’t just suppress the pain.
Fix the trigger.

Sometimes the problem isn’t neurological.
It’s optical. 👁️

30 years in eye care… and these myths still won’t leave 👁️

Which one have you believed at some point?
Be honest. 👇

As an ophthalmologist, I see this all the time.

When your number changes and you don’t update your glasses, your eye muscles keep overworking to focus. That constant strain can trigger dull, heavy headaches — especially around the forehead and temples.

Long screen hours make it worse.
Dry eyes make it worse.
Uncorrected astigmatism makes it worse.

Sometimes the eyes are perfectly healthy, and the issue is neurological. But very often, it starts with simple eye strain that people ignore for months.

If your headaches:
• Increase by evening
• Feel worse after screen use
• Improve when you close your eyes
• Or come with blurry vision

Don’t just take another painkiller.

Get your eyes checked.

Because treating the cause is always better than masking the symptom. 👁️

As an eye doctor, this is what I tell every surgeon learning cataract surgery 👁️

Learn at your own pace. Everyone’s journey is different, and comparison only distracts you.
Observe closely. Cataract surgery is dynamic, and small details can change everything.
Respect every case. No surgery is ever “routine.”
Aim to be better than your last case. Even small improvements matter.
Be proud of your progress, but never get complacent. Vision demands humility.

Because at the end of the day, someone is trusting you with the one thing they can’t replace — their sight.

This is something I hear more often than you’d expect.

Stress increases cortisol levels in the body. Smoking pushes them even higher. Together, they reduce oxygen supply and damage tiny blood vessels — especially in the retina, the most sensitive part of your eye.

The result?
Blurry vision. Eye fatigue. Slow healing. Higher risk of retinal problems over time.

Smoking may feel like stress relief, but your eyes don’t experience it that way. They experience oxygen loss, inflammation, and vascular stress.

Blurry vision isn’t something to ignore or “adjust to.”
It’s a warning sign — not just from your eyes, but from your body.

If you’re stressed, address the stress.
If you smoke, reduce and quit.
And if your vision has changed, get your eyes checked.

Your retina cannot handle both stress and ci******es for long. 👁️

Two things you’ll never find in my house as an eye doctor 👁️🚫

1. Redness-relief eye drops
They make eyes look white in seconds by shrinking blood vessels. But they don’t fix the problem. With repeated use, they cause rebound redness, dryness, and dependency. The eye looks worse over time, not better.

2. Steroid or steroid-antibiotic combo drops without prescription
These are powerful medicines. Used wrongly or for too long, they can silently cause cataract, glaucoma, infections, and permanent vision loss. Many people use them for itching or redness without realising the damage building up inside the eye.

Fast relief doesn’t mean safe relief.
Eye drops are not cosmetic products. They are medications.

If your eyes are red, itchy, burning, or blurry, the cause could be allergy, dry eye, infection, or lid problems — and each needs a different treatment.

Please don’t self-medicate.
And if you’ve been using any drop regularly for weeks or months, get your eyes checked.

Your vision is precious. Treat it like it

A quick dopamine hit for your eyes ✨👁️
Close one eye, bring the phone closer, and watch.
What do you think?

Dry eyes and eye strain are incredibly common today — screens, AC, pollution, late nights, all of it adds up.

The good news?
Many simple lubricating eye drops are safe to use and easily available over the counter in India — if you choose the right ones.

Here are safe options I commonly recommend for basic dryness and screen-related strain:

• Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) based drops
Good for mild to moderate dryness.

• Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)
Helps with eye fatigue and irritation.

• Sodium Hyaluronate based drops
Excellent for longer-lasting lubrication.

• Preservative-free lubricating drops
Best for people using drops multiple times a day.

• Gel-based lubricants (night use)
Helpful if eyes feel very dry on waking up.

⚠️ Important reminder:
Avoid “redness relief” or anti-itch drops unless prescribed — many contain steroids or vasoconstrictors that can harm your eyes with long-term use.

Your eyes reveal more than just vision 👁️
They’re the only place where blood vessels and nerves can be seen live.
That’s why eye exams can catch systemic diseases early, sometimes before symptoms start.

22/01/2026

A young woman came in with severe pain and redness in one eye. On examination, she had a small corneal ulcer.
The cause? She was cleaning her contact lenses with tap water.

Here’s why that’s dangerous👇

Tap water is not sterile. It can carry bacteria, fungi, and a dangerous organism called Acanthamoeba, commonly found in tap water, pools, hot tubs, and lakes.

When it sticks to contact lenses, it can infect the cornea and cause Acanthamoeba keratitis, a serious condition that can threaten vision.

Warning signs include:
• Severe eye pain (often worse than it looks)
• Redness and light sensitivity
• Worsening corneal ulcers

🚫 Never clean or store contact lenses with tap water
✅ Always use prescribed contact lens solution
👩‍⚕️ See an eye doctor immediately if you feel pain or redness

Save this. Share it. Protect your eyes.

Products I’d want women to be careful with — as an eye surgeon 👁️⚠️

Not because makeup is bad, but because eyes are delicate.

• Red-out eye drops – mask the problem, don’t fix it
• Waterproof mascara – hard to remove, irritates lids
• Retinol eye creams – can trigger dryness and inflammation
• Heated lash curlers – risk of burns and lash damage
• Glitter eyeshadow – tiny particles can scratch the cornea
• Eyelash glue – common cause of allergies and infections

Beauty should never come at the cost of your vision.
If your eyes burn, itch, water, or feel heavy — listen to them.

Healthy eyes > everything else. 👁️✨

After your 40s, this is the age when near vision usually starts needing spectacles.
But yes — there are ways to reduce your dependence on glasses.

Here are the main options we consider after 40 👇

• Micro-monovision
One eye is corrected for distance, the other slightly for near. The brain adapts well in selected patients.

• Presby LASIK
A laser-based solution designed to improve both distance and near vision in suitable eyes.

• ICL (Implantable Contact Lens)
A permanent lens placed inside the eye without removing your natural lens. Useful for higher numbers.

• Clear Lens Extraction
The natural lens is replaced with a premium lens to reduce both distance and reading glasses.

There is no single “best” procedure for everyone.
The right choice depends on your eye health, power, cornea, retina, and daily visual needs.

After 40, the aim is not just seeing well —
it’s seeing comfortably at all distances. 👁️✨
