Good day doctors in the house. I am 26 years old and I have a squint in my right eye which has been there from birth. My elder sister had the same issue and a surgery was performed on her at the age of 27 in a mission hospital in 2011. I went back to the hospital but the doctors that performed the surgery are no longer there. After examination, I was told that that my left eye is sleepy while the right eye is good. The squint is at angle 40. I was given glasses with the following details (R pl -1.25, /40).
I was told to wear the glasses for a while and come back for medical check up to see whether the angle has adjusted or corrected itself. I was also told to do a path test everyday for 1 - 2hours for the sleepy eye to make it active. I wanted a surgery but the doctors do not consider it an option for now.

good evening opticians, I am 20yrs old i do have frequent itching of the eyes but not both at a time and its been so for nearly 10yrs I do rely on VISINE and BETADRONE eye drops but the relief they give is for a short time.This itching last for the duration of 2-3 days before it disappear and returns again.
Aside from that I do get blur vision and watery eyes when I try to focus.
DO I NEED PRESCRIPTION GLASSES?

patching may not really yield improvement at this age of lyf......notin much could be done to improve ur vision fr now as the amblyopia (which resulted from the squint) has been long standing . surgery isnt usually recomended in dis type of squint but may b considered fr cosmetic reasons nd there cld arise a nid fr a repeat of d surgery ...but fr now just comply to the recommendations at least fr trying sake u may b lucky but success rate is slim...

stop abusing drugs....the betadron contains steroid which cld damage ur eyes on prolong use nd cld even cause blindness.....itching as a symptom could be caused by refractive errors...go fr an eye exam nd i think glasses is wht u actually need

yes it's a tin for serious concern..flashes usually is as a result of pull/ thug on the sensory retina observed in cases of vitreous detachment or retinal tear which could lead to retinal detachment nd can cause visual impairment if not handled properly. if d flashes re persistent, u ll nid to go bk fr more comprehensive eye exam

Hello Doc
I had a blow to d eye approximately 5years back or so..there wasn't swelling or bleeding at the time of the incident,only pain. Well my eye started generating and me in my nonchalance didn't go for medical checks. well of recent situation has gotten stinky

- I have been getting a lazy eye
-Blurry vision (When I look at light e.g emitting from a tiny source I see rings with smthn like pix attached)
- When I close d good one so as to use d affected 1 to read my phone screen at night...I end up becoming quite blind as I can't see anythn under low light
-My eyeball feels hard and my eye lid skin feels lifeless

Pls Doc, i'm short sighted and have been wearing glasses for some few years, but I've noticed that i am becoming so dependent on glasses, and when i'm not wearing glasses my vision becomes blurry,pls are there supplementary drugs to be taken to correct short sightedness or could it be corrected only with an extended use of corrective glasses? Thanks in advance i anticipate your aid.

What's the mechanism of action??

Any link to a documented research to back up those claims?

We are professionals here, we can't just start prescribing anything just because someone says it works without scientific evidence backed by research

frm ur xplanation, i ll suspect u hving cataract associated wit an increase in intraocular pressure..cnt b certain until u go for an eye exam,....u may b lucky enough nd have some improvement in vision or save d remaining vision in dt eye....do not delay in health matters especially ur eye health...

drugs cannot cure refractive errors nd myopia is one of such ....ur glasses doesnt actually mk ur vision worse..it's just dt u re now used to seeing better(tnks to d glasses) hence wen u take off ur glasses, evritin now seems odd (u re now aware or d great difference btw d clarity in vision u nw enjoy wit glasses nd d way u used to see without glasses)....but it doesnt worsen ur vision ....most spectacle wearers actually complain abt dis....u cn actually try contact lenses or sm special glass type dt wld nt mk d lens thickness obvious

i ll suggest u go to an eye clinic to hv an eye exam to ascertain d cause of the reduced vision ....buh at tyms noticing cobwebs in one's vision could b due to vitreous degeneration associated wit ageing nd it doesn't pose any threat to one's vision....so tk out tym for an eye exam to know d actual state of ur eye health
