I am 28yrs. No. But I have very blurred eyesight which I attribute to the numerous herbal stuffs I have put in the eyes over the years to treat the eye.

this would be a difficult thing attending to just from an online consult . Which state do you live in?

optm:
how old are you? Have you experienced any temporary vision loss ?

The trauma in the eye gives me this feeling that even the left side of my brain may have been affected, it feels like the brain tissues are swolen too. The eye soccet and skull feels like it had a real accident impact like a falĺ or hit.

I am from Bayelsa and I live here. I need a solution, please sir. I have spent countless money and time over this issue to no avail.

first thing to do is to visit an eye clinic , ensure the eye pressure is checked and please ask the doc for a thorough explanation of his findings and what your options are in managing your condition.

i cannot really do much for you i am sorry. To know what's wrong , i ll have to match your complaints with clinical findings. Just see how you can get a good eye clinic and if nothing can be done about your situation, at least an explanation to what the problem is should be given and in a way you can understand. If you ll want me to make a recommendation of a clinic you could use, i can help you find one by asking colleagues

Okay. I will visit again, but I wish to find a place that can trully help. Where is your office based, sir! And could you please help with some prescriptions that could help with the pain and tension. Because even as I type, I am in great pain.

i am in lagos . I am sorry; i wouldn't want to blindly prescribe as the drug or whatever management approach is determined by the cause of the pain as different eye conditions can present with pain and they require different approach

Greetings Doc,

I have always had a tired looking (eye bags) & itchy eyes since my teenage years . I have been told it is due to the presence of living worms in my eyes. What do you recommend I do please?

i suspect , you are likely having allergies hence the swollen and itchy eyes. Antiallergy medications would help . I advise you go see your eye Dr for examination and medication

Thanks very much

i suspect stye in this case but aside it being treated with antibiotics, you'll need to be examined for refractive error (i.e a condition that would be needing you to use glasses), also you may be asked to check your blood sugar

Good day doctor.
I’ve been having irritation in my eyes due to an allergic reaction(I’m allergic to dust). I even had to do an examination to be sure and the doctor there said my vision is good. What can I do to reduce the amount of dust that goes into my eyes coz I work in a dusty environment. Is it okay if I get normal glasses(not recommended) ?

there are protective eye goggles suitable for your environment. If you can get glasses with side shield, that would be helpful. You could also get safety googles from online or an eye clinic around

Interesting thread.

I have been using glasses for a long time.I was told to use it for 6 months but it has extended to six years.I have myopia and the constant use of glasses has caused my eyeballs to enter inside.
What can I do to get my eyeballs back to shape and also to improve my eyesight?Is there any drug I can also use?

well, i have heard some persons say glasses cause their eyes to appear sunken especially myopes. Although, there isn't a clear cut explanation for this, but a possible explanation could be using a higher power of glasses than required hence , the person tends to shut the eyes a little most times because the excess lens power causes objects to tend to appear brighter but not clearer. This also creates tension that could impact on the eye ball making it sunken but doesn't cause it to reduce in size anyways. There's another opinion that the eyes are not sunken but an illusion due to the minifying effect of myopia corrective lenses . Well , as for what you can use to improve your eye sight, there's really nothing much except use of corrective glasses or contact lenses. There are other unpopular options like orthokeratology, refractive surgery and use of implantable collemar lenses .

I saw a post that said bitter cola can help with eye problems.How true is dat?I also saw a drug named Forever Vision that claim to treat all eye problems.I'm already fustrated with the use of glasses and am determined to stop using it b4 i clock 18 years old

well, not until there's a scientific backing of such claims, i wouldn't take such seriously. For now, there are no drugs i know of that can make one stop using glasses . Whatever approach you intend using, just be careful not to cause damage to your eyes

That Ivyxolol is N750 while this new Betoptic is 1500.

Good pm Bro, they both contain the same constituents but different manufacturers, hence, the difference in price.

Hello Dr.

Been a while sir, I went to see the Dr. as agreed on the appointment date but on getting to the hostpital i learnt the young, kind soft spoken peadiatric optm had just died few days ago. I was now told the Dr. available wasnt a peaditric specialist even though she told me its something she can handle.
Now, his eyes turn inwards to the extreme whenever he has to look farther but remains normal or almost normal for nearby objects. The lady Dr. there said the glasses need to be reviewed for that reason.

my concern now is, can any opthalmologist attend to him or i look for another peaditric, also, she was the first person i met and she refered me to the other dr that died that he's a specialist in children.
secondly, i hope continous use of this glass pending when i resolve which Dr to see next doesnt invalidate whatever success/improvement we must have had.

Thank you sir

hi! Sorry for loosing your kid's Dr. Well, if the other Dr feels she can handle it, it's not in my place to doubt her competence as she knows capabilities . You could give her a trial and if it doesn't improve, then, ask her to refer you to a specialist. And yes she ll need to review the lens prescription and probably incorporate prisms. You should continue with the glasses you are having now until another is given. I ll find your previous post on this when i ve got the time so i can advise properly
