why are you wanting to take it off? Is it causing you so much discomfort or you are just having cosmetic concern?

Hello doctor sorry for quoting you from another person's thread. I eyes was exposed to pesticide chemical two months ago while spraying it at a site no much problem when it entered my eyes just only stinging in the eyes. But last week I went for an eye exam and I was told I have glaucoma. If I may ask is this related to the chemical that entered my eyes two months ago.

if you were given drops for eye pressure, it probably means you are having glaucoma or the least ocular hypertension. Pls go back to your doctor to counsel you appropriately so you don't loose your vision

Good morning doc
I currently have a -1.25 and -1.5 prescription for my left and right eyes respectively to aid vision for visual acuity.
But lately I noticed when I wake up in the morning my vision is a bit blurry for hours until around 12pm, I also noticed I see halos and rainbows around light(bulb) just about any source of light.
Please advise on how to proceed
I've been trying to see an ophthalmologist at LUTH but it's taking forever.

hi sorry for the delayed reply. It may not just all about the dry eyes only as you may need to rule out for refractive errors aswell.
My recommendation is that you get tested to see if you may be needing glasses first as

Hello Doc,

I was told I have glaucoma 4 years ago in my two eyes and it has blind one of my eyes. since then I have been nursing, monitoring the remaining eye.

But Something happened last week that scared me to death. I woke up and discovered something like snow or harmattan blocking my vision. And my eyes were red.

I tried all I could but this thing wouldn’t go away. I cried as I was just scared to lose my second eye. After two days the cloud covering the eye went away but I noticed some changes in my eye. E.g

My vision started fluctuating
My vision becomes blur
My vision is fading while I look into my phone
I can’t see properly at night
I am see properly inside the sun
The vein in my neck is paining me and I am having some pains in the affected eye

Last two days, I went to the hospital so see a doctor. She tested affected eye and temperature was 42. The doctor ask me to buy duosopf and brimonidin eyes drop which I am currently using.

But still yet this symptom I mentioned up there are still affecting me. Please my vision is shaking and is fading. I was given next month appointment which is December.

Please Doc what could be wrong with my eye. I don’t want to lose this remaining eye please. I am living already in fear.

before now, in what ways have you been nursing or monitoring the only eye?
Secondly did your doctor tell you the kind of glaucoma ie open or narrow angle glaucoma? Have you started the eye drops already?
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by Simplyfun: 9:54pm On Nov 19, 2023
It is open glaucoma. And I have been using eyes drop to control it but stop for a while due to financial crisis.

UPDATE: Sorry for the errors na my eyes dey cause am

So in my curiosity I carry myself go the hospital today lol. Though I was given December appointment for my next eyes checkup. Got there at noon and I pleaded with the physician to please check the pressure of my eyes.

Thank God she no talk about my appointment not been today. I entered and siddon like a prisoner waiting for judgement. She brought out the tools and asked me to focus on a screen which I did.

The last time my eyes pressure was 42 but today it has come down to 19. The doctor said that the pressure is okay but I should continue with my eyes drop and the eyes cap tablet she recommended.

Also in my research I got to know that cod liver oil is good for the eyes and the brain. As it contain Vitamin A and D. So I have bought it and I also bought some supplement and eyes herbal tea. The supplement works cos I have used it before but I am just trying the herbal eyes tea.

Doctor, my worry now is I still have difficulties while walking in the sun and at night my vision reduce. Also my vision is fading. Please is there anything I can do or you can recommend for that?

i really do not know to what extent of damage the glaucoma has caused your vision but your doctor that assessed you is in a better position to address your concerns. You could get photochromic glasses to help you when you are out in the sun
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by Simplyfun: 8:03am On Nov 21, 2023
Okay sir. I appreciate your reply. I hope if I keep the temperature low the glaucoma won’t progress?

well, the goal is to bring the pressure to the point where the disease progression is halted. One cannot guess this pressure hence you'll need to periodically go for certain tests to ascertain progression of disease or not

Hi optm,

A relative has issues with her eyes and consulted a eye clinic. The ophthalmologist recommended a Ketorolac eye drop.

We’ve been having issues getting this around. I don’t know if you know of anywhere one can get it.

Good Morning, Doc.

I've been having this redness on the sclera of my left eye. I was told to take antihistamines, for it could be an allergy. However, there hasn't been any positive result. What do you think, ser?

I'm quite distanced from the hospital. I'd like to know your take on this before I embark on going to the hospital.

I had the same and when I visited the hospital the doctor ophthalmologist told me I had pterygium (Google it) then advised I go for a surgery as that’s the only permanent solution.. meanwhile I’m a stoner and usually experience worst reddish eyes after gettin high. Had to stop smoking and went sober after.
