Please I need help

I have boil on my upper eye lid(left eye) and a massive one on my lower eye lid (right eye). This has been there for more than 2months now. I've done the hot compress, taken antibiotics, eye drops and to no avail... Please I need help on what to do next

optm:
by tremor, is it the eye lid or the eyeball itself?

No tremor that affects my hands and voice...I sent an email tho from goodnews403@gmail.com

i didn't get any mail notification. Astigmatism cannot cause that. Please go see your GP.

is it a recurrent Phenomenon i. e comes and go? Any associated pain?

optm:
the particles you are experiencing, is it seen on the cornea i.e can someone looking at you see these particles or it's just an experience you have like seeing things like strands or cobwebs in your field of view?

I see them on the cornea when I look at the mirror, they move when I blink, I believe they are the cause of the halos and starburst I see. I have removed large ones though., but tiny ones are still there.

Docs in the house...pls I want to know why my left eye always turn red whenever I smoke weed, and once in a blue moon it becomes watery but not itchy. Pls what can I do to stop this redness cos it can be very embarrassing especially when in a social or family gathering. Thanks

Yh I know its not healthy issue... But it wasnt yellow b4 sha. Now it looks unhealthy

Maybe uve started smoking skunk...

This is the first time I'm having boil on my eyes this long... On a normal ,it wouldn't last more than 3days and the last time I had a boil is like 6yrs ago

if it occurs whenever you smoke weed, then u should know the cause

ok then, go to an eye clinic so they inspect it. There might be need to have it drained . Also some other conditions may be associated with recurrent stye (which i think it is) hence u may be asked to do certain tests.

No..
About 2017, I was using a kind of eye product called tiro in Yoruba, then after a while, I started seeing halos and glares, and ii had a little white vision, I didn't know what was happening, until I found out that it has already expired like two months back, then I stopped using it and within two days or so, everything was back to normal. So, around 2018, another kind of tiro was given to me by my close relative, the person said it improves vision, so I started using it from 2018 to 2020, until around June this year, I noticed the symptoms I had 3 years back, so I stopped, because I suspected it might have expired because it had no expiry date.
The symptoms were blurry right eye and seeing halos and starburst and light bulbs being too big when I view them. Although my right eye is gradually returning back to how it was before, like being equal with the left eye ( the left eye is sharper than the right, both eyes had the same sharpness before and my right eye is the dominant eye) but I still see this halos and starburst effect. Is it that that "Tiro" I used is the cause of this because these symptoms were similar to 2017 own.

ok then, stop using the tiro for now and visit an eye clinic to have your eyes examined . There are some cases you have to examine in person and carry out necessary test to know what is wrong. You should make an appointment with your eye doc

Dear drsteroid and jauntty

I'm a 19 year old dude, early dis year, i started having eye floaters, it started from a single black/dark floater on my right eye, now i have few floaters on both eyes. This is both alarming and depressing considering my age (teenager.) Please what can be done about this? Thanks a lot.

How far Johans, are the floaters gone.

.
I just don't know.
They believe my eye is perfect, like I don't have any problem, I told them I don't see these halos and starburst, but they don't believe me.

normally this is how I see light

car headlights were like this before

Starburst effect

And this.. I don't see this before

Akinola100:

anything that can scatter light (in this case those strands) could cause you to experience these but may not be the only issue as knowing the root cause is very necessary. Wish your parents could see reasons with you to have u visit an eye clinic. Keep telling them

there are various good clinics in lagos. You could check on google to find their ratings. I wouldn't want to promote any clinic on this thread. Yes yeast is a good source of vitamin A and it's good for eye health

What does omega-3-fatty acid do to the eye.
Thank you sir for answering my questions

well, studies have shown omega 3 fatty acids as dietary intake or suppliments can be helpful in managing some eye health conditions like in managing dry eye or slowing progression in macular degeneration. I do not know the mechanism by which they bring about these effects but since they are essential for maintaining the integrity and functionality of retinal cell membranes, having them in good amounts should definitely be helpful
