I was struck in my eye with a metal object about a month ago.

Its healed and though the sight is not perfect as it used to be (I sometimes have to close the eye to focus better with the other and sudden eye movement takes time to focus).

The main concern is a flash of light.......like light caught in a drop of water that flashes past a corner of my sight at intervals. Its quite distracting.

Pls, What could it be??
Flashes of light is something that require quick assessment and proper management. Flashes usually have when anything touches or tug on ur retina. You could have had vitreous detachment or retinal detachment. Pls take that seriously and visit a good eye clinic. Do u also experience floaters ??

I have been using Getamincin eye drop ;for red eye and itchy, which is also anti-bacteria drug and it works for me. What i need now is to tell me drug to use for permanet cure. Give me your email please.
the drug u mentioned are drugs 4 bacteria infection,and itchy eye and red eyes can't be bacterial infection if there is no discharge. It can possibly due to allergic reactions if no refractive error is present..u can get sparsallerg,ivycrom or antallerge eye drop and use 2drops 3x daily for 28days...tanx

Wetness or tearing could result from dry eye, viral infection or even Astigmatism. Do u experience that everyday or when u perform certain activities that require detailed visual task Secondly, if u have history of IOP, then u MUST use ur drugs, go every month for IOP test, cus you can be at risk of developing glaucoma which is a sight-threatening condition. Contact me.

I am an Eye doctor, I discovered through clinical experience that most Patients don't really know about some basic things and problems affecting the eyesn and these has led to simple eye problems being seen as complicated and frightening to most patients and they don't really know how to go about it. There are some eye problems that are hereditary,which requires normal routine eye examinations but due to ignorance most patients tend to lose their sight to eye problems that could have been prevented. I want to use this opportunity to enlighten us and provide solutions to problems affecting the eyes,in line with WHO Vision 2020-Right to sight for all, so all questions concerning the eyes are welcomed

Pls Dr. anytime I close my eyes (mostly especially at night when I feel sleepy) I feel that there is something coarse under my eyelids. It doesn't itch, but I feel something is there when I close my eyes and move my head sideways or up & down. I tried to take a look under my eyelid using a mirror but there is nothing there except blood vessels. Pls Dr. what's the problem?

@jauntty pls answer this question too.

Ocular pressure is one major risk factor for glaucoma but it doesn't mean every high ocular pressure is glaucoma. Some pressure can be low and the eye can still dev glaucoma. Secondly alcohol doesn't cause floaters. Floaters indicates that something is not so right inside the eye. It might not be serious tho. So answer this 3 Questions. 1. Do u see sudden flashes of light. 2. Are the floaters increasing at a fast rate. 3. Do u have pain?

Yea...when I move my eye ball up or down, left or right, I see a flashs sometimes like a circle. I never noticed it until I was diagnosed with those eye drops. I told the doc..he said it has sth to do with the retina but its is not serious yet. I don't have pains, but the floaters increased then but no longer increasing that much. I also see rainbow around bright lights at night. The doc said its due to the pressure and glaucoma. My question again is ...is the rainbow thing sign that I have not treated the glaucoma well? All these symptoms are worse when I drink which I have reduced by all means. I read somewhere that weed (marijuana) helps those with glaucoma, pls have you confirmed that in Nigeria?
