Surgery can be done but not in Nigeria tho. Secondly how old is the person ? Visual training can be helpful for younger patients.

Great work Doc, please I know you've said about red eyes but I want to detail my case so that you look into it,
I once had a hit on one of my eye by my bro while playing like 5years back,heavy hit which swelled the eye .and the problem now is
1) I do have red eyes every time I sleep and wake up and more especially in the morning but the eye I got the hit is usually more red and brings more discharge, even without sleeping my eyes at times becomes red and people will be asking if I smoked.
2) I use laptop heavily and at times I will have heavy eyes while using it or even while reading but I can read clearly both far and near. so I haven't totally concluded what is the cause for heavy and red eyes,Take note,one is always more red,and even phones gives me heavy eyes
3) I have tried glasses but immediately I put it on I'll start having tears and pains,my eyes will be drawing me,what do I do to correct it or what can I do about it

Good day doctor !

I've done series of eye tests in the last two months and in the three different eye hospitals they said what I'm presently experiencing is a "chalazion" , I've been given some eye drops and ointment in all of these hospitals and noticed a little positive effect.

Lately I went to maxivision and they also gave me their eyedrops and ointment and I noticed the chalazion leaving the affected eye(left eye) to the second eye(right eye); now what I have is a black patch on the the first (troubled eye)that is, the black patch has taken the place of the once reddish chalazion,while the second eye seem to be the one experiencing the chalazion right ontop of the eyebrow.

I was given an injection on both eyes on monday last week and was advised to massage the chalazion daily from time to time that they were going to disappear naturally.

Now, what I would really like to know is if we do have natural foods / fruits that are good for the eyes ?

Again, I changed environment mid this year(MAY precisely, from lagos to the north) and started experiencing all these eye wahala shortly after my move. Could my move to the north have any effect on what I'm presently experiencing cos I reside in a very DUSTY environment in the north, as I'm made to understand that the chalazion is an eye infection?

good day bro,wot u re having is tropia/strabismus..the. Treatment option available now is orthoptic training which must be done by an orthoptist..dis training will help allign the eyes by working on the eye muscles..surgery is better if it was diagnosed earlier and when stil young..try visit an eye clinic or govt hospitals were eycare services re offered so that u can be directed to an orthoptist

Chalazion is very stubborn to manage n treat. You will need to massage it (warm compress) and use eye ointment every night. It might take weeks or months to resolve tho.

Refractive errors such as myopia means dat light does not focus properly on your retina. The glasses will push the light to d retina so that u see clearly and comfortably. It doesn't cure the errors. The corrections is ONLY wen u r putting on the glasses.

You need to get that chip off your shoulder. The eye doctors on this thread are only trying to help and they have good intentions so please stop insulting them. As for the statement in bold, please read this thread; https://www.nairaland.com/1875196/health-advice-doctors-online

A medical doctor started a similar thread to this one so your claim is fallacious.

@all those having glaucoma or having family members with glaucoma: you all need to get all the members of your family tested for glaucoma and check to see if your eye pressures are normal because glaucoma is a hereditary condition and it runs in families. If a member of a family has the condition, then it is likely that another member will develop it. Note that I said likely, and not certainly.
So get your family members tested to ensure that their eye pressures are within the normal range.

Have u been diagnosed of cataracts ? Because plenty things can cause blur vision. Things like refractive errors, corneal issues or even high blood sugar. Drugs don't cure cataracts, it can help minimize d progression. When the cataracts is matured u will need to do cataract extraction.
