Goodday,
Pls, I'm having with my eyes..
It itches badly .(Nostril and Throat itches too ) I have been to different hospitals in the past and The doctors all said it could be an allergy.
Recently wenth to a General hospital, the doctor said it looked like I got ptyrigium and she prescribed.
Vitamin C
Gspar
G-Glutamin
Rizcet Tab
I was also given an Injection in day 1.
The drugs seem to suppress the Itching but I just checked my eyes now with a mirror and discovered the little brown growth still there.
it's been 4days now I have been using the drugs prescribed
Pls, I'm worried as I have spent and been to different hospitals with no lasting solution.
I vision is very much okay as I can see very far and near.

HI. I use the system a lot, so I decided to go to an eye clinic in Sango Ota to get protective glasses.
After taking necessary tests, the Optometrician confirmed I had no eye issues and I only need protective glasses.
I was billed 14 thousand naira for the total cost of getting a photochronic lens or 10 thousand for the tainted lens.
So, the issue is I contacted a friend who uses glasses also and he said I was getting ripped off.
So my question is; is that the same price obtainable in the market for the same lens?
If I have to pay 14k without an eye defect, then how much would someone with an eye defect have to pay?
Thank you.

you are not being ripped off. different clinics with their prices. many clinics actually charge more fr that lense type. alot of factors comes into play in influencing the price for a service

Hello Doc,
Pls I have squint (esotropia) and it's visible more on my right eye but it alternates wen I try the cover test by myself. Please it's really affecting me, my esteem Evrytin and am not happi bout it. I ve visited several hospitals Wich include maxi vision ikeja, eye foundation GRA ikeja, military hosp bonny camp, skipper eye-q V.I lagos etc most told me surgery is the best short bout for fear of unknown and funds i didn't get it done then. But now I really want to and last 2 months i visited eye-q at V.I and they conducted the 4 colours test (red, green light etc) (I hope you understand ) and then the doctor said if I do the surgery I will see double for the rest of my life, nd it's really sad and it was only that hosp that conducted that test for me and came up with that prognosis. But really wat do u think please, how can you advise, I don't like the tot of looking this way for the rest of life. Thank you.

. hi there....a lot comes into play in deciding the best management option for strabismus. like ur age, how long has d squint been, the onset, d cause, general systemic history etc. i will suggest you consult an orthoptist. i will not be in the best position to decide the best management option since i dnt hv ur history nor did i carry out any test on u. since skipper tld u surgery wldnt b gud fr ur case , wht was their recommendation?

Good day doc. Please can you refer me to any good government eye specialist hospital in the north or a good government hospital where I can be attended to properly for squint eye correction. Thanks

Thank you very much for responding...
I really appreciate it.
I am 24 yrs going on 25 nxt yr april. The squint has been since I was about 7-9yrs cos I think was in pry 2 or 3. Am really not sure of the cause Becos my eyes were very normal before then. But most doctors during by visitation suspected it was measles not properly taken care of then got into my eyes. Skipper recommended glasses to me, bout they opened up saying it won't correct it but can make my appear abit beta. Skippers actually said I have Abnormal retinal correspondence and that will cause me permanent double vision.
So Wich orthoptist will u recommend and can I get a different prognosis or is it rather possible to treat the ARC ist and how I really don't wish to live this way *sad*

my dear i tink surgery would be the best option as i sense the strabismic eye must have been suppressed already and therez no binocularity at play as it has been long standing. hence anomalous retinal correspondence isn't really an issue in my opinion. just for clarification; the fact it bcomes more deviated wen u close the other eye doesn't mk it an alternating strabismus. if it has different degree of deviation at different viewing distances, that makes it an incomitant tropia. strabismus is kinda complex. need i tell you , u may b needing to do the surgery more than once. best of luck.i understand hw u feel just try luving yourself the way you are. i hope you get the best

Hello optm. Happy new year.
Please my mum is having eye issue, help me. She can see lighted bulb, but can't see who is with her clearly. Please what should be done to remedy such situation. She cannot walk on her own except somebody guides her

My niece is finding it difficult to see faces and written words from afar, what could it be. Tanks.

hi there ...how old is your mum, how long has this been? have you guys explored medical help on her issue?

. hi there please take your niece for an eye exam . if it's just a refractive error, glasses would be of great help in making her see things at far better.
