Reminder sir, but pls if I'm visiting a new Dr. does he need to see his previous records based on howfar we have been or the Dr. can just pickup by measuring his current glasses

if you do have access to previous records, that would be fine if you take them along

My IOP measured 22 three months ago.
It measured 22 again today so the doctor changed my eye drop from Betaxolol to DuoSopt. But this DuoSopt is expensive. Next week is another CVF test after the one I did last year June.

that's fine. Would be good so as to see if there's any change when compared with the previous. You could discuss the burden of cost with your Dr so as he or she is aware and see how to work out a plan since you'll have to continually be on anti glaucoma meds; so that cost doesn't prevent you from continuing on your meds

@optm

I tried messaging you, can you follow back so i can send you a dm?

Thanks.

I did the CVF test yesterday. Please help me compare with the last year own. The first two was the last year's CVF test while the last two was yesterday's own.

go online and search for clinics in your area . You should try to visit an eye clinic ASAP cos floaters sometimes could be associated with very serious eye issue that requires an emergency intervention

Gud mrn Doc,
My 3 months old baby use to rub hand in his eyes, people discouraged me from seeing a pharmacist, sayings it is toothing symptoms. Now we are seeing pus discharge, the dry pus even stick eyes together after sleep. The eyes shows no other symptoms apart from the pus. What can be done to stop the pus? This morning we use warm water to clear the eyes.
Also, can we use salt and water to clean the eyes??

good morning. The eye is probably infected? Any redness? Is the pus only in the mornings ?

There is no redness, the pus come little little in the day and stay at the corner of the eye but stick together the eyelashes after sleep by the morning.

an antibiotic ointment or drop would serve but meet your eye doc to recommend one suitable for your baby

Hello @optm thanks for all you’ve been doing.

I’m trying to get new lenses but the quote my optician is giving me is way too high.

How much can I realistically get new lenses for my prescription below in Lagos:
OD: -9.00, -1.00 x 120
OS: -8.00, -1.25 x 20

Looking to make it ultrathin with anti reflex.

Thank you.

ultra thin lenses are quite expensive ;moreso when the come with anti reflective coating. I can't give an exact price but should cost you btwn 60 to 90k in most clinics

Good evening doc, I got a new lens February this year and I was given a photochromic lens as suggested by the doctor because of the complaint I made. I have been using lens but not photochromic. I noticed that this one I got makes an object bent towards the edges. I went back to complain and I was told that maybe it's because it's my first time using photochromic lens but it's 7 months now and it's the same though the edges of objects no longer look as bent as it used to. Hope my eyes are not being affected the more. Thanks

Good morning doc,
I have been having redness of eyes in recent years and this is due to the nature of my work. I think the redness started when I started construction works. The dusts, irritation and all. Can you please recommend any eye drops to relief this redness.
Also, lately I've been having some discomfort on the right eye and bloodshot veins around the sclera especially when I'm stressed which I have been lately.

the redness might be as a result of your exposure to irritants or it could aswell be something other than than. There's really nothing i can do for you online unless i get to do an exam on ur eyes . I 'll suggest you visit your eye doc

I am short sighted and I have been using lenses to aid my vision. I got a new one because the old one got broken and the doctor recommended I used photochromic lens because of my complaint

no component of astigmatism in your prescription? Anyways, if it doesn't get better after a few weeks of use, go back to your Dr to review your lenses and prescription

yeah. No component of astigmatism. I actually went back after a week but the doctor said it was the right prescription. I am just worried.

use it for the while he/she asked you to use for adjustment and if it doesn't normalize, you either ho back or seek a second opinion on your lenses / prescription
