Can you please recommend a good ophthalmologist in Ibadan? My dad has diabetes and has developed cataracts but the ophthalmologist he has been seeing keeps telling him to wait till it gets ripe but his vision keeps getting worse. I think a second opinion is needed because he can barely see with his left eye now.

cataract can be removed wen it starts interfering wit ur ability in carrying out your daily activities efficiently. dont know the reason why your ophthalmologist is asking him to wait wen it's a thing of concern to him now. waitin fr it to get mature doesnt seem a gd enough reason to me. and i hope hez been able to examine d posterior segment of d eye al these while irrespective of d cataract to ensure there isn't any associated pathology dat could damage vision aswell. # if you aint too comfortable, it's good u seek a second opinion elsewhere . hope ur dad has good control of his blood sugar ? hope he gets d best in treatment. sorry i do not have any ophthalmologist i can refer you to in ibadan.

optm:
it can b corrected wit glasses but it can't be cured #if dts wht u intended askin

Sir please what i meant by corrected is if i can stop using the glasses after some time since it's just my right eye that's short sighted

Thanks for the response. He has been maintaining a healthy diet and he uses his insulin religiously. We will try to get a second opinion as soon as we find an ophthalmologist we can trust. Thanks and may God bless you.

How Can You Reduce Your Risk of Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a common eye disorder, often associated with aging. It mostly occurs in persons over age 35, with increasing incidence among the elderly: about 2% of persons over age 40, and about 10% of persons over age 70 have chronic glaucoma. This disorder is usually caused by a gradual blockage of the outflow of aqueous humor, the fluid in the front compartment of the eye. If the pressure gets high enough, due to progression of the disease without adequate treatment, the small internal blood vessels and the optic nerve fibers become compressed, eventually causing irreversible damage, with loss of vision or complete blindness. In fact, about 15% of blindness in adults is due to glaucoma.

If you are over the age of 40 and if you have a family history of glaucoma, you should have a complete eye exam with an eye doctor every one to two years. If you have health problems such as diabetes or a family history of glaucoma or are at risk for other eye diseases, you may need to visit your eye doctor more frequently.

antioxidants wouldn't stop your blurry vision although it's good for your eye health. you have to go c an eye doc to ascertain the cause of your blurry vision and only then can a solution be provided. There are numerous causes of blurry vision; the cause determines d treatment .
