IKOLA is not far from command it's within Ipaja axis. State hospital here shouldn't charge that much right? In my state hospital consultation fee is 1k. I was shocked yesterday when that private hospital billed me 25k as consultation fee.

lolz . State hospitals should be cheaper but i really do not know how much they charge. Another thing is, they may not be having an eye clinic . Do your findings

Hi doc. I was having headaches and eye aches so I went to the hospital and the doctor prescribed glasses for me. Then my mum called the doctor and the doctor said it's because of my phone and computer usage. Please what's is defect I am having because the doctor didn't explain to me. Also when I went to meet the lady in charge of lens I opted in for photochromic, hope it won't affect the original lens prescribed by the doctor. Although the doctor said to try use the glasses for 4months and get back to him but I don't know the name of my defect as it is shocking to me. Also does it really take that long to get the lenses?

hi there, i really can't be specific on a diagnosis but i am certain you are having a refractive error which could be hyperopia, astigmatism or myopia. Your choice of a photochromic lens wouldn't affect your Dr's original prescription . You should be fine using your glasses

this tells you are having astigmatism. Use if for some time and see if you can adapt to it and hopefully relief you of your headaches

Hello Doc.

I have an eye glass prescribed by an ophthalmologist which I have been using for some time but I saw one online and I so much love the frame but it has diopters which means the lens are not ordinary lens I told the seller I need one without prescribed lens but he said he doesn't have that. Please if you can put me through which lens is suitable for someone with 6/5-3 and 6/9 visual acuity from the picture attached below.

I just need to buy the right one that suit my Visual Acuity.

it doesn't work that way . There's no way one can tell your lens power without having you undergo the required test. Since you so love the frame, you can get any of them and take it to your eye Dr to have your prescription put into it

Alright thanks. I made enquiries about govt hospitals in Lagos I was told patients use to flood their eye section so I have to be there early. And it's possible i might not see the doctor that day. I just need to check my eye pressure to know the current reading because the Doc managing me told me if the pressure is still at 18 they'll have to change my drug. My last scheduled appointment was last week Friday but I couldn't go back to my state to see my Doctor. And this 25k this private hospital billed me is too much.

other clinics around you would charge lesser fee. If you can come to VI, with 7k you would be attended to; iop inclusive .

Doc is there any danger in applying two Betaxolol drops into each eye?

you mean applying two drops rather than 1? That's a waste of eye drop as the cul de sac can only hold one drop at a time

I apply one to an eye wait for the eye to absorb it then apply another before moving to the next eye to do same. I have been doing that since November last year when my iop measured 18.

lolz, why's that? Weren't you told how to use your drops? That's wrong, u should use as instructed and if it's not bringing down your iop to targeted level, the Dr knows what to do .

Don't mind me Doc. I thought may be the one drop is not enough. Though I don't miss the application twice daily as instructed. I spot a private eye clinic around yesterday I'll visit there on Friday to check my iop.

how do you want me to help ? I would love to know your Dr's diagnosis to start with

Glaucoma.my doc ask my mom how it begins,she said since i was a child that she tink its not sumtin serious that whenever am looking at someone the left eye look at other direction.i didnt know this my friends told me about this in school and i told my mom about it.but she took it lightly.i dont have any symptoms until last year.i woke up and couldnt see again with my left eye.the right eye is in perfect condition.my doc only told me i have several large scars on retinas,molecule.thats all i know.@optm

ok so you have strabismus (half pas eye) right ? And the Dr also diagnosed you of unilateral glaucoma (just the left eye) right?

Yes sir.

Dr optm,is this how i will live with one eye till i grow old and die.

the stabismus has been since childhood right?

Yes doc optm

Yemialade:
Yes doc optm

now, is your concern about the strabismus or your not being able to see clearly with that eye ?

My concern is not been able to see clearly with d left eye.@optm

Yemialade:

there's every high chance that the vision in the left eye has always not been great because of the likelihood of it being amblyopic as a result of the strabismus (half pas eye). Since vision in the other eye can help you carry out your daily activities, you can function optimally and the effect of the poor vision in the left eye wouldn't be significantly felt. Cheer up. It shouldn't cause you depression as there are millions of persons in your shoes and more in worse conditions who cannot see. What you should do is ensure you regularly go for eye check and take care of the good eye . You could also seek a second opinion on your diagnosis.

Thanks so much doc optm,dats exactly what my doc told me that i should protect my right eye like my life depend on it.that i must get a eye glasses and am on medications.To be sincere,i cried at night before going to sleep asking so many unaswered questions of why me,i feel helpless,no one knows how i feel.

not many are as fortunate as you are and would give an arm and leg to get sight restored just in one eye . It's needless dwelling on what you cannot change . You should rather focus on how best you can function with the situation at hand. Cheer up pls

Thank you sir,may God uplift you in your career in jesus name.@optm.
