    3. Artificial Tears: Artificial tears are lubricants that help to reduce dryness, irritation and reduce discharge from the eyes.

    3. Laser Surgery: This procedure involves using a laser to reduce the size of any openings in the eye that may be allowing the discharge to escape.

    2. Tea Bags: Tea bags can be used to sooth the eyes and reduce inflammation. Simply place a warm damp tea bag over the eyes for 10-15 minutes.
    3. Saline Wash: Saline wash can be used to flush out the eyes and remove any debris. This can be done using a saline solution and a cotton swab.
    4. Antibiotic Ointment: Antibiotic ointment can be used to reduce the symptoms of discharge from the eyes. This should be applied to the affected area several times a day.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
