i think that you mean trusopt opth solution. its a 2% solution and its used for the treatment of glaucoma.  what it does is it helps to reduce the fluid in the eye and relieve the pressure which is glaucoma.  i dont see why a 7 year old would necessarily use this, if you have some leftover or something i wouldnt let them share by any means.  the tips on these droppers are sterile and that could increase chance for infection.  but for any advice i would definitely talk to a pharmacist about it. im only a student so far.

Dermarest has a line of lotions on the market that are made to help skin problems like eczema. I've been using them for years and have been really happy with the results. I would not use this lotion on anyone under the age of 2 but for all others it may work wonders.

You can apply a warm compress a couple of times a day.  Other than that, there isn't much to do except wait till it goes away.  Keep your hands clean, don't rub the eye, and don't try to pick at it.  If it doesn't get better or seems to spread, see a doc because you may need antibiotic eye drops and or pills.

its safe and easy. if it fails, it can be redone with no problems.  do it when you are 25 years of age or older to insure that your vision wont worsen and is stable.

My 4 yr old daughter has a bit of a lazy eye, and surgery was an option for her, but we took her to an eye specialist and found out that glasses can also help correct it. I would contact an eye specialist, that deals with children that have lazy eyes, and or crossed eyes. Hope this has helped.

I would go with something with "opti" in the beginning. I'm not really sure what you are looking for...is it an eye drop solution, or antifungal solution or what??

I've had relief from short sight (along with astigmatism) and tension in my eyes using ayurveda. Its effects were almost instant. Just a few hours. \nMaybe you wanna check it out.

Defective Product Injury\nRepresenting the injured, the wronged and their families\nReNu and Fusarium Keratitis\nContact Lens Solution ReNu® with MoistureLoc® Linked to Severe Eye Infections\n\nBausch & Lomb, an eye health care company, has asked retailers across the nation to remove its contact lens solution ReNu® with MoistureLoc® from store shelves after receiving reports of fungal eye infections, known as Fusarium keratitis, in consumers using the product. The company recommends that people using ReNu with MoistureLoc try a different contact lens solution while the source of the infections is investigated (1).\n\nUpdate: On May 15, 2006, Bausch & Lomb, supported by the FDA, initiated a worldwide recall of all ReNu with MoistureLoc products.The company proposed that unique characteristics of the product can increase the risk of Fusarium infection (2).\n\nLawsuits are being filed across the country against the manufacturer. One case filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan, New York, alleges that Bausch & Lomb officials were aware as far back as February of 2006 that ReNu with MoistureLoc could cause eye infections; reports of infections in Singapore and Hong Kong resulted in a suspension of the product being shipped there two months before Bausch & Lomb’s official April announcement (3) of fungal eye infections possibly resulting from use of ReNu with MoistureLoc.\n\nOf the Fusarium keratitis cases officially investigated, more than 86% of them occurred in patients using one of Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu products (3). The investigation resulted after a New Jersey ophthalmologist contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to inform them he had recently treated three patients suffering from Fusarium keratitis, a previously rare disease. Further investigation revealed that doctors across the country have also seen a rise of Fusarium keratitis cases (3).\n\nTo date, there have been 176 cases of Fusarium keratitis believed to be associated with the contact lens solution. These cases have been found in 28 states, and at least 8 patients have required corneal transplants resulting from the infection (4).\n\nWhat is Fusarium Keratitis?\nFusarium keratitis, also known as fungal keratitis, is a serious and painful disease affecting the cornea of the eye and results in:\n\nBlurred vision\nSwelling\nPain in and around the eye\nRedness and tenderness that does not improve when the lens is removed\nIncreased sensitivity to light\nExcessive tearing or discharge\nPermanent blindness if the condition is left untreated\nThe cornea is the clear layering protecting the eye from dust, germs, and debris. It also acts as the outermost lens of the eye and focuses the entry of light into the retina. The cornea is responsible for 65-75% of the eye’s focusing power. Fungal keratitis may appear as a feathery grayish-white lesion and is often difficult to distinguish from other eye infections. If you experience any of the above symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.\n\nFree Consultation\nFungal keratitis is a serious condition that can result in blindness if left untreated. If you have used ReNu with MoistureLoc contact solution and suffered fungal keratitis, contact a lawyer at our firm today for a free and confidential evaluation of your case.\n\nThis law firm is not associated with, sponsored by, or affiliated with Bausch & Lomb, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the New York Times, or USA Today.\n\nSources:

i've had it done, but it was in Louisiana and it was 7 years ago.  I acted like a 2 year old but that is just me.  they don't want to give you any drugs because it makes you eyes move but now a days they have better technoligy to follow your eyes.  don't freak out when everything goes black like i did.  it's supposed to do that. they just didn't tell me.  it was WELL worth it.  ofcourse i had a great dr.good luck

I use Allergan's Refresh Tears or when my eyes are super dry I'll use the Liquigel drops by Allergan.  They just sort of spread over the eye and create a cool protective coating.  It's amazing how fast it hydrates.  You can buy it at any drugstore and they carry it at some Costco's, too.

He's probably on it for bed-wetting.  It is an antidepressant, but it's not usually used for that purpose anymore as other drugs have since been developed that are more effective... but it is still used for bedwetting.   Apparently it causes the smooth muscle wall of the bladder to relax so that it can stretch to hold more urine without the need to urinate being as intense.  I took it for bedwetting when I was that age also, it's not 100% perfect, but it does help... although it isn't a cure, it just helps you get through the night when you take it, until your bladder grows enough to keep from wetting the bed on its own.\n\n   Good luck, I hope your nephew is able to grow out of it soon!

It may not be cause for alarm, but it still would be good to see a doctor (Ophthalmologist NOT an optometrist).  Optometrist is who you see when you have problems related to vision, Ophthalmologist is who you see about physical conditions of the eye.\n\nyour daughters condition could be one of several things but it might be a common stye or chalazion.  They tend to make the eyelid puffy and painful.  They are temporary and can be remedied with consistent (daily) attention.  \n\nWhile you wait to see a doctor so he can diagnose her eye, you can try using a hot compress.  This is what the doctor is going to recommend to you in the case of a chalazion or stye.  These things are akin to a pimple on the eyelid, as they caused by a blockage of glands in the lid that may or may not have become infected.  \n\nYou take a very soft, thick and pristine washcloth, soak it in almost-uncomfortable hot water (around 120F MAX), squeeze some water out and press the washcloth against the eye, applying a constant pressure not more than 1lbs per inch.  Have your daughter apply the pressure so she doesn't hurt herself.  Palm works best since it's flat.\n\nIf the eyelid is infected you will need to see the doctor to get him/her to prescribe your daughter some kind of antibiotic solution or ointment like the commonly used 'blepharide' solution.

I hope your daughter recovers soon.  \n\nThe outlook on recovery from eye injuries is good: one in five patients with a ruptured eye globe, a serious injury, may continue to have excellent vision and no apparent signs of perforation.\n\nPostoperative management includes preventing infection, suppressing inflammation and controlling pain. \n\nAlthough no data exist supporting the use of systemic antibiotics after an open globe injury, it's common practice to administer three days of IV antibiotics, followed by 11 days of oral antibiotics. Oral ciprofloxacin has been shown to cross an intact blood-vitreous barrier in appreciable concentrations.\n\nDaily follow-up should include determination of visual acuity, IOP and wound integrity and configuration of the retina (by ultrasound if it isn't visible). If needed, the patient should be referred to a vitreoretinal specialist. Close attention should be paid to corneal wounds, as they can leak when corneal edema decreases. \n\nFollow-up also should include counseling. It's often necessary to repeat conversations that occurred before the operation, as patients and families forget what was said in the hectic, stressful setting of preparation for emergency surgery. Advice from social workers and spiritual support, if appropriate, often are helpful. \n\nIf there is no hope of visual recovery in the injured eye, the initial postoperative phase is a good time to remind the patient and family about the risk of sympathetic ophthalmia. At this institution, it's often the practice to have the patient sign a statement documenting his or her understanding of the risk and choice not to proceed with enucleation, should that be the decision. Finally, polycarbonate glasses must be prescribed, and the patient must be urged to wear them at all times.

Good question. Probably not good for you.\n\nI had a groth on my eye for several years that I wouldn't let the doctor surgically remove. Then I got my first computer with a huge Trinitron monitor...Funny thing happened: After 2 months the groth was totally gone. I suspect the radiation from the monitor killed it....That was a GOOD side effect.\n\nBut now I use an LCD monitor, cuz if a regular monitor can do that to the groth I had....Then I'm sure it can do harm as well.

There is something called Tuja or Thuja.  Maybe homeopath medicine.  Consult a doctor since the child is quite small and the area is near the eye.

totally, its something thats actually fun.  I tried it once and it was very fun.  It'll give kids something new to do.  It also helps improve hand-eye cordination.
