Here, doc. It usually becomes this red whenever I wake up from sleep. And the area below my iris is always inflammed.

does your eye itch quite alot?

optm:

It does, especially at night.

Bladeripper:

it looks like vernal kerato conjuctivitis and might be needing an antihistamine/mast cell stabilizer and with a steroid eye drop if safe for you.
You should get to visit an eye clinic to prescribe you some medications. All the best

Doctor, I appreciate you for opening this thread. I can read books without using glasses, though I have glasses with the Number +200. What I discovered recently is that when I am watching the TV or computer screen, the words will be as if it was divided into two, I thought it was my screen that was showing like that until I later discovered this in the church today and I asked a guy sitting beside me and he said the words are in good order. Pls what are the causes and what can I do? Thanks

how old are you? How long have you been using your current glass prescription? Does your eye feel peppery or dry?

I am 57 years of age, and my eyes are itching periodically, especially on the left side. I've been using my glass prescription for more than 5yrs.

Hello Doctor,thanks for the good work,I've had this reocurring issue with my eyes for almost 8 years now,I don't know wether to call it a boil or a growth when it initially started it starts from my lower eyelids and sometimes goes up to the upper eyelid,after a period of time it goes away, sometime it stays for months but i noticed lately it doesn't occur like before,i went to the hospital a certain time,i was given medications and told if it dosent go away they might have to perfom surgery on it to bring out what is there but as at that time my guidian was not comfortable with the idea so i stayed like that and it disappeared on its own,it happened again on Tuesday,I went to the pharmacy and was given some drugs which reduced it's swolleness but it's still there like a lump,please I want to know if there is anything else I can do or take to cure it completely aside the option of surgery because I saw a doctor concerning this 4 months ago and he made mention of incision.Thanks in anticipation to your reply.

Hello doc, my mum is in her seventy’s and has been diagnosed of glaucoma and cataract. So , we are of the opinion she does the cataract surgery to see what progress we would have achieved. With this, could you kindly point to us a good hospital where she can have the surgery performed? She is currently scared of going through the surgery due to stories of those who got blind after surgery.Thank you

from the description i guess it's Chalazion. Yes botox injection can be tried but surgery is the most effective way in getting it out. In minutes, you are done. The surgery isnt that complex. I know you are scared cos of the word surgery and your imaginations are running wild. You can check up videos on the net to see what it's like

Hello healthlanders, it has been a privilege sharing my knowledge on eye healthcare with you all ;particularly on this thread. I would not be attending to questions here anymore as i am no longer in practice and feel you would be safer getting advice from someone in practice because they would be up-to-date in treatment approach to various eye health conditions out there.
I hope someone would be gracious enough to keep the thread going on.
Well, until i get back in practice sometime in the future, it's goodbye and i also thank you; the originator of this thread. God bless us all.

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??

Hello Bro,

Good evening. My sight is better now.

It healed by itself but it just took a while longer than one would expect......say months.


If there's pain in one eye, try to cover it with a patch to avoid it ruining the other one.

Doc just gave me different drugs and one very powerful painkiller........ but go see a doctor on time sha.
