drsteroid:
when did the somtin hit the person,and did u visit an eye clinic immediately it happened..pls try provide more info and tell if d person is experiencing pain or any other symptoms..tanx

GraceInUSA:
Thank you for this rare opportunity. I was recently given a pair of glasses this month. I was diagnosed of refractive error. I feel pains when the eyes are opened. Its more when I just come out of the bathroom.The prescription reads thus:
SPH +0.25 CYC -0.50 AXIS 0.90
Now I need to know what it means in English language. I have problems staying in a room where a fan is on and also have problems staying under the sun although I'm not an albino.I asked for photochromic lens, I was given something that isnt. I want to know if the prescription determines if its gonna be photochromic or not.

cheezkid:
Oga doctor. Im a patient of shortsightedness. I have been using corrective lens for 7 years still the state of my eye sight is not improving. Please tell me honestly if my bad eye sight can be corrected or was i deceived by my optician who told me that my spectacles would correct it??

kateobi:

Opzy94:
Ma eyes re red,wit discharges(juxt lyk weeping),blur atimes when reading on phone(especially at night),unable to see long diztance clearly......i tink it's hereditory but please wat can i do to solve this??

jauntty:
NICE TO BE BACK...Mods am still wondering y I was banned in the first place. Daris god ooooo.

drsteroid:
wot the prescription means is that u have: simple hyperopic astigmatism..photochromic lens are lenses that works in an automatic way by adjusting itself 2 becom darker while u are in a bright environment so that u can feel comfortable,it also adjusts itself when in a dark environment by looking brighter so that enuf light can enter the eyes so that the patient can see comfortable..if ur lens is nt responding dis way then its nt a photochromic lens..tanx

drsteroid:
it shows u have exotropia I.e ur right eye moving outward..u can visit an eye clinic for proper eye examination 2 see if u have refractive error or refferred 2 see an orthoptist who can hep train the deviated eye muscle...try do dat asap

GraceInUSA:


I'm grateful. I get you. My next questions are:
Would the glasses be for life??
I noticed that viewing distance, my eye sight seems to be sharper than the glasses. In other words the glasses is blurred at distance. Is it supposed to be so??
Is it normal for my eyes to feel dry under a room with the fan on??
I used to have serious problems using a laptop because of the eye pain. Does the glasses also solve that problem??

drsteroid:
it shows u re highly photophobic. I.e ur cone cells are highly sensitive to light.I wil advise u go 2 an eye clinic were u can get a photochromic lens that wil help protect ur eyes against excess light.tanx

abdol262:

re@drsteroid:tanx doc. Its the bulbar conjuctiva,dey r exceptionaly brown. I don't smoke nor drink.

drsteroid:
no,ur naked eye ought nt 2 be better than the glasses when viewing distance objectsm.I tink d problem is either ur lens power seems 2 weaker compared 2 ur refractive demand or u have an underlying pathology e.g diabetes. Fan helps 2 increase d rate of evaporation of tears thereby making d eye dry,but a reflex feedback mechanism heps 2 produce and release more tears when such happens,making d person 2 be more comfortable,I bliv u nid visit an eye clinic so dat ur tear film stability andtear volume can be analysed..yes ur glasses is suposed 2 relieve u also of d pain u ecperience wheneva u use ur laptop..but if u use a distance single vision lenses,n u ought 2 be using a near add with it,but not incorporated in it,u wil find it difficult workin on ur computer or other near work,dis is mainly 4 patients above 39years old.pls visit ur eye clinic and make all ur complain known 2 ur eye doctor..tanx

drsteroid:
what u re having may either be refractive error or muscle spasm..d discharge is as a result of microbial infection..I will advise u visit an eye clinic as soon as possible...tanx

ayansegzy:
hi doc.. Pls i need ur help...in de afternoon when i sleep ad wicked my eye will be red..or when am feelin sleepy my eye will be alway red..or when am tired...what can i do to stop dis?

drsteroid:
whenever we sleep the blood vessls in our eyes gets dilated I.e vasodilation,causing more blood flow to the conjuctiva blood vessels and other tissues,so our eyes tends 2 look red than it was b4 sleeping..this is a normal physiological process..it bcoms a proplem when associated with other symptoms like discharge and gritty sensation..tanx
