Good day doctor. I am having lots of floaters form an accident I had almost a year back. The doctor says there is nothing I can do. But I heard that there is laser therapy for it to destroy the floaters. Pls I wanted to inquire where I can get the procedure done in Nigeria and how much.

you should probably have a comprehensive eye exam to rule out for a retinal tear . I really cannot make a recommendation where you can get laser treatment for floaters in Nigeria as I am not aware of any yet

ensure your lenses are clean first . I get patients sometimes who complain their glasses no longer help them see well; only to discover that their lenses are not clean. Secondly Do a blood sugar test and if ok, you may probably have to get an artificial tear drops and see if it helps

I sympathize with you on your ordeal. The last glasses you did, how long ago did you get them?

On Friday I woke up with my right eye red and slightly painful then the second day the two eyes are red and slightly painful especially when I bend to pick something. By Sunday afternoon the eyes are cleared and fine.
Today, I woke up again with left eye red and slightly painful.

What I noticed is that this happened after taking cough medication on Thursday. Last night I took medication for sore throat due to ear infection.
Please, advise. I plan to visit the clinic later this week.

Hi optm
So I went to optician cos my glasses used to cause me pain after using it for long, and my eye itches me when using my phone at night. So I was thinking I needed a change of lenses but he only prescribed diclofenac eye drop for me instead and told me to come back for refractive error test bla bla, pls what do you think about using the diclofenac eye drop cos in my history of using glasses, I have never used an eye drop before?

what you described here seems like Hordeoleum. Antibiotic eye drops or ointment would do fine for it

Thanks doc, i appreciate

Good day doc.
I started having issues with my eyes in 2014 (prior to that, they were in good condition)
I had blurriness. When I visited the eye clinic, I was given drugs(had reactions to those, boils but I finished them) and glasses.
Fast forward to the present, I still use my glasses
I visited an eye clinic to change my glasses a few months back, they suggested I test for glacomma(I did the test)
Well, the doc said that I should do another test in 6 months to compare and see if I do have glacoma (that there is no definitive test)
Ok the issue bothering me, (he warned me that my brain might start just using my right eye only since left eye is significantly weaker, both lenses has the same prescription).
I have been conscious of that fact and from time I close one eye to check if there is improvement or otherwise.
I go about my everyday business quite fine, am just not satisfied with my diagnostic or results currently, and would like a recommendation of an eye clinic to try, am based in delta state.
Also, I noticed when I use an inhaler to clear any nose blockage (left or right), it kinda relief stress in the eye(I find that tearing up can also relief stress).
My left eye is blurry, it is itchy sometimes hence whenever it tears up it relaxes
My condition may also be hereditary, my dad has eye defects too.

Is 18 eye pressure OK for Glaucoma patient.

there is no one fit all presure for glaucoma. Everyone with their unique case. The goal is to get the pressure where there is no progression of the disease

In our previous discussion. I told you I didn't do any CVF check last year and no pressure check too due to some things that happened to me and my family. And you advised me to do a check up to ascertain if the disease is not progressing I went today but only pressure was checked and was given an appointment to come back October to see a consultant which is too far for me. The pressure measured 18 that is why I asked such question just to know if the pressure is not high for my condition.

what was the pressure it used to be? Was your corneal thickness measured at any time?

optm:

It used to measure 12, 15. There was a time it was measuring 22 when I was using Betaxolol so It was changed to DuoSopt in 2021. So I have been on that DuoSopt since 2021. My corneal thickness has never been measured.

Optm please reply the last mention

sorry!! i tried replying earlier but my phone was acting up.
on how many occasions were the pressures 12, 15? What meds were you on then? What time of the day were these measurements made?

While on Betaxolol it measured 12 but it later started measuring 21 at some point so I was placed on another drop DuoSopt while on DuoSopt it measured 15 but now I was told 18.

The time of the day when the measurements were made was afternoon.

well we cannot conclude with just one measurement, continue on the duosopt and repeat measurement while on it. Let's see what the next is
