There are numerous causes of teary itchy eye, and so there is no magical one-cure-all eyedrop for that. The most important thing is to diagnose properly what the real cause is. Could be allergy, dry eye, astigmatism etc.

Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by jauntty: 7:13am On Nov 18, 2014
Mr Soludokay...Don't be disappointed, the Dr might have been busy. Let me say this : if you were diagnosed of Glaucoma and u are now experiencing diminished vision in one eye, then its an indication of smth very serious. Since you have a history of trauma too , it could either advanced glaucoma or retinal issues from the hit. If those two are ruled out, then it could be from an uncorrected refractive error. My advice is to go to a good eye clinic where diagnostic tests can be done to ascertain the cause. Do u have flashes of light?? Do u see colors round bright light ?? Where do u stay??
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by soludokay(m): 7:28am On Nov 18, 2014
I stay around yaba. I was given glasses to use when the diagnosis was done but no reasonable improvement has been noticed on the eye. what really happened now is that I can hardly see with it fearing that it shouldn't affect d second eye. pls I will be very grateful if a good optician is recommended to help me cure it.

hello doctor, pls someone blind at birth,wats d solution
many things can cuse blindness @ birth,some are reversible while some may be irreversible..congenital cataract is one of the major causes of blindness @ birth,but it can be treated through cataract extraction and the person will be able to see well again..use of some drugs during pregnancy and complicated birth or forcep delivery can also cause cases of blindness @ birth..a detailed case history is usually needed from the baby's mother so thaat she can tel us the circumstances surrounding the child birth as this will give a clue to the cause of the blindness.retinoblastoma,retinitis of prematurity ( premature babies),ophthalmia neonatorum are other causes of birth related blindness..it wil be important to get the child's mum to give detailed information concerning the child's birth..I wil also like to know the age of the child..tanx

Ok. What you need now is a comprehensive eye exam. The doctor will need to carry out eye pressure check, central field test and maybe fundus photography. These test will help to diagnose glaucoma and help to manage/monitor it.

many things can actually cause blindness at birth. The most commonest ones are congenital glaucoma,retinoblastoma, drug induced blindness from medications used by mothers during pregnancy,infections from mothers such as syphilis,gonorrhea etc,complicated forcep delivery,congenital defects of some tissues in the eyes are also causes of blindness at birth.after birth infections from mothers and widwives causing ophthalmia neonatorum is also a major cause of this but can be treated with the right medications.A proper case history is needed from the mother of the baby to ascertain the cause and prognosis of the blindness..the mother of the baby are usually in the best position to give details about this.the age of the baby is also a major factor for prognosis.tanx

Vikkyk10...You are not too young. I have consulted kids as young as 5yrs with myopia and have to prescribe glasses for them. The earlier the better. If you are short-sighted then get corrected, otherwise you might develop amblyopia or if its a degenerative myopia it might get worse. The tearing might suggest an associated astigmatism. So u need to examine ur eye to know the degree of myopia cus high myopia comes with risks of retino-vascular issues like glaucoma. Hope am not making u scared.

Hi opticians, I don't know whether it is a problem or not; I can't see without squeezing my face in the afternoon. Perhaps the sun or any light cause me to strain my sight. Do I have any thing to worry about?

Squinting is what u described. Its mostly associated with refractive errors.
