Aristocrom is an anti-inflammatory eyedrop used to manage allergies in the eye.
drsteroid:
mast cell stabilizers and anti histamine drugs are used to treat allergies resulting to itching and tearing.u can send me a message on bbm if u wanna know more cos I don't intend to mention any particular drug..tanx
jauntty:
There are numerous causes of teary itchy eye, and so there is no magical one-cure-all eyedrop for that. The most important thing is to diagnose properly what the real cause is. Could be allergy, dry eye, astigmatism etc.


thanks guys so much. sorry i'm not on bbm.

was given that eye drop some months back for an allergy but i stop using it after a while though.

it seems like it has resurfaced cuz i wake up itching my eyes in the morning i thought maybe i could just know what that eye drop is for so i can get one later.

hello doctor, pls someone blind at birth,wats d solution
there are many causes 2 blindness @ birth...the common causes are congenital cataract,some drugs used by mothers during pregnancy,retinitis of prematurity,infections from mothers to babies before or after birth,complicated delivery,ophthalmia neonatorum resulting from lack of proper hygiene during child birth,retinoblstoma (malignant cancer of the eye) etc. A detailed case history is needed from the mother of the child,this wil help wit proper diagnosis.prognosis depends on the cause of the child's ocula-visual problem e.g cataract extraction is required 4 a child with congenital glaucoma and this wil enable the baby to see as a result of the removal of the opacified lens. proper treatment action or plan should be initiated.wil like to know the cause of the blindness and age of the child..Good 2 be back here doing what I knows how to do best.I guess the moderators are on a banning spree cos I don't know what I have done to deserve the ban.

I will advice u to see your doctor again so that he can examine your eyes again to know if there is something else causing the aallergic reaction,maybe misdirected eyelashes known as trichiasis or other causes.try see your doctor as soon as possible and make sure u encourage facial hygiene by always washing your face with clean luke warm water before and after bed,so that any dirt or dust which might have entered your eyes during the hustling and bustling of the day can be washed away..thanx

drsteroid and other docs in the house.. Of recent a friend started having blurry visions but it doesn't hurt or itch.. So he went to the hospital and after some minor checkups he was given some tablets and eye drops.. For like two weeks now there are no changes.. I ve checked google but no exact medical explanation.. Any suggestion/solution will be appreciated.. Tanxx

P.s The doctor didn't do any eye scanexcept physical examination of the eye

The best thing is to go for a detailed eye examination in a good clinic. They will diagnose and managed accordingly. If your friend is on NL, I cld ask him some questions and give him an idea of wat the issue is likely to be.

He went to a good eye clinic.. You should know how most Nigerian clinics are. He is not NLder and not interested in joining.. You can ask me all the questions and I will relate it back to him and reply here.

The names of the eyedrops are AFLACIN and MAXISPORIN. The tablets are finished and he has disposed them already, he could rememeber only the name of two of the tablets ie FOLIC ACID and DARAPRIM. He said it started about two years ago but stopped when he took meds and he can't rem d pills he took back then. Then it started again about a month ago. Its More when viewing close objects. No one in his family that he knows of uses glasses or ve major eye problems except the old peeps and they use it for reading. He is 25.

Seems like a case of refractive error. But he should also insist on tonometry and detailed funduscopy to ensure the back of the eye is healthy as well wen he go for eye test, not just physical check. Without proper diagnoses from detailed eye test, any treatment would be "trials-and-errors"

Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by Tomideee: 1:41am On Nov 26, 2014
hi doc' i will try and state my eye problem as vivid as possible , i pray its not what i think it is


My story
since my primary school days i have been short sighted, although i dont have problem with close stuff up on till now but back then couldnt view the black board from a far distance, i compensate for this by trying to sit at least somewhere around the middle of the class this was about 12 years ago, was in primary 4 when i first notice this, bt years later my distance of clearity or say the distance from where i could see the board kept decreasing, i went from sitting at the middle to the core front before i could see the board clearly, i just had to struggle with note taking and drawing diagram from the board, but during this period my immediate senior brother was diagnoise with myopia and was given a -3 glasses' i tested the glasses and was suprise how sharp and clear the world really is .
by 2011 i was done with secondary school , didnt write the jamb for that year so i was at home during this period i brought a desktop computer, with an estimated use of atleast 9 hours without break for 3 years, i notice a huge decrease of sharpness withing this period plus my vision started getting blurry occationally in the morning when i use it over night with less sleep. But by january this year the blurriness was permanent and i notice i cant recognise faces accept the person is close, i decided to cut down on my heavy computer usuage and get enough sleep but yet the blurriness wont go away except if i use my brother's -3 myopia glasses.
Finally now i have started noticing "Floaters' 2 quite large cobweb like thing and small tiny ones in my vision .


Some of what i notice
- my vision get quite sharp if i woke up in the middle of the night .

- i once had an injury on my right eye were a single broom pinched my eyes ( i was about 12 then ) and i couldnt open the eye, when i finally open it, it was cloudy and watery for almost a day

- my near vision is completely okay

- if i stare at bulds or lamps, it seems to be brighter and sometimes i get uncomfortable staring the at light from my phone when i adjust it to full brightness


Family history

- I have two uncles from my dads side diagnose with glaucoma ( my worst fear )

- my dad is longsighted ( he is using glasses for close work and reading )

-my mum is midly shortsighted

- my senior brother is also shortsighted ( although without blurriness )

please what might be my own problem?

You have either mild or high myopia. High Myopia is a risk for both glaucoma and retina degenerations which can result in floaters. So in summary : See an eye doctor, get a detailed eye examination and start management as soon as possible.

wot a nice and detailed case history.let me just add little 2 what jaunty has sed.does it means dat since u started experincing dos symptoms since primary school days,u have neva seen an eye doctor? I wil advice you to stop using your brother's eyeglasses because it was personally made for him afta a thorough eye examination on him.u may think u re ok and can see clearly with it,but its really not good for you cos your refractive status may not be the same with your brother's own..floaters can be as a result of serious problem within the tissues of the eyes or just a normal and self limiting physiological process..I wil advice u 2 see an eye doctor asap 4 a detailed eye examination..tanx

gud pm..wen exactly did the lotion poured into your eyes and have you seen a doctor before? In cases of any splash or foreign body in the eye,the first step is to get a clean water and flush properly before seeing an eye doctor asap.please don't try use any self medication cos am suspecting involvement of the cornea which really need a professional care..beta still you can talk to me through whatsapp or bbm so I can really get a clear picture of the real problem 4 proper diagnosis.

firstly,I wil like to know how old you are,and since when u have been diagnosed of having high blood pressure and when the incident happend?..4rm the drug history,zaditen and hypotears are not vasoconstrictor which can be used 4 congestion or hyperemic eyes,rather they are antihistamine/mast cell stabilizer while hpotears is an artificial tear used to relieve px suffering 4rm allergic or dry eyes...a thorough examination such as slitlamp biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy is required to assess the tissue of your eyes including the retina vessels to check 4 leaky or ruptured vessels which might have resulted 4rm microaneurysm and due to the fragility of the retinal blood vessels.This is usally noticed in hypentensive cases over 7-10yrs.Thanx
