Hello Doc The last time i checked my IOP it was 12/12 that was 2 months ago. I checked it today and it read 18/18 the Doc said 18 is normal for a non glaucoma patient but for a glaucoma patient like me it is sub-normal. So she said i should continue using the Betaxolol and i was given an appointment till next year february she said if the pressure is still at 18 or above by the time she'll have to place me on another medication in order to lower the pressure. I don't experience dry eyes anymore but i still see starburst which i complained about and she beamed a pen-like torch into my eyes and said my cornea is still ok. Cc: optm |

Antiochus:did you stop your meds before now? |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by Antiochus(m): 4:53pm On Dec 11, 2020 |
optm: No i did not |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 5:25pm On Dec 11, 2020 |
Antiochus:and you were faithful in instilling the drops as recommended? Let's see what the next result would be like. Even if the pressures are within normal, over time, you ll need to do the visual field test and compare with the previous to check if there's progression of the disease. |

optm: I do apply it 7AM/8Am in the mrng and 6Pm in the evening. Though i do apply it late in the night these days at exactly 9PM. There was a night i didnt administer it until the next mrng and the reason is i had severe headache that evening i slept around 5pm until i woke up around 12 midnight but i applied it in the mrng. That was the first and last time i have skipped the evening dose but i have never skipped the mrng. |

Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by Antiochus(m): 5:44pm On Dec 11, 2020 |
optm: Ok sir. I have been taking garlic for over a month now. I heard it's good for the health and they said it contains antioxidant. I hope it's not the reason why the pressure is high cause i injest garlic heavily these days. Garri gives me eye ache and headache too i don't know if there is connection between garri and IOP Thanks for the good work you are doing here. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 6:59pm On Dec 11, 2020 |
Antiochus:lolz garri and iop. Well, until there's a research to establish that but for now, there's no relationship between garri and iop. Same for the garlic. I ll advise you to put your mind at rest and ensure you keep to your doc's appointments 1 Like |

Masdec: Good Morning Dr. Been a while, just felt i should update. Its 5months now since he started using the glasses, my observation; the eyes no longer turn when the glasses is removed except when he has to look up/ farther distance, although, even at that, the turn isn't as bad as it used to be. The last appointment was in Sept and the next one in January. |

freshinko:do you experience this dizzyness only when reading is done in a moving car? |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by freshinko: 5:44pm On Dec 17, 2020 |
optm:yes it happens once I concentrate to read in a moving car. |

drsteroid:Good evening Doctor, I don't know what the problem is but sometimes I just start blinking continuously and then stop. It worsens if someone asks why I'm blinking so fast because I'd now focus on the blinking and it would take alot of time to take off my mind of it or to stop it. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 7:15pm On Dec 17, 2020 |
freshinko:it's probably motion sickness. I Do not think it has anything to do with your vision/eye health. Anyways , you could still schedule an eye exam to be sure. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 7:23pm On Dec 17, 2020 |
oderinde151:well, eyelid twitching can be caused by stress or refractive error most times. You'll need to have an eye exam to rule out the presence of refractive error. If you take caffine, you should also reduce the intake too. A cold compress on the eyes could help when it twitches . |

1. M3 muscarinic agent/agonist - Pilocarpine, carbachol, physostigmine etc 2. Prostaglandin agonist - latanoprost 3. Carbonic anhydride inhibitor/beta-blocker, alpha-2 agonist - reduce production of aqueous humor on ciliary bodies Are those drugs available in nigeria |

Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by Abukeke(f): 5:50pm On Jan 03, 2021 |
Hello Doc, Kindly advise please - 1) What is the cause of blurred vision usually after I've looked at my phone for a while. 2) Also, there are times I see a red vein-like mark on my eye and whenever this happens, i usually feel pain in that part of my eye and will even find it difficult to look at the sun. Although i think that this red thing comes possibly when i don't get enough sleep. Thirdly sir, at what age is reading glasses usually recommended as I squint when i have to read and i've started squinting to fix thread in a needle. Thank you |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 9:43pm On Jan 03, 2021 |
Abukeke:adressing questions 1 nd 3 you may be having a refractive error or might have attained presbyopic age ( 38yrs and above ) hence would be requiring glasses to help you . As regards quest 2, I can't really relate with what you are trying to describe . Having a visual of it would be helpful |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by Abukeke(f): 7:26am On Jan 04, 2021 |
Thanks for your response Sir, i'm in Lagos optm: |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 8:01am On Jan 04, 2021 |
