ShirelleBaby: good morning doc--for 2months now,every sunday morning-around 1am,I wake to a sour eye-i can't close it and I can't open it-as if there is soo much accumulated dust in it.it will be discharging tears like a river,I don't get any better till monday morning and it get better faster if I apply eye drop immediatly it starts.pls what could be causing this sunday eye pains?

dennykel60:

1st of all, its wise to see a doctor to examine ur eye. But to prevent any further damage, u have to use bilberry. it is taken by mouth and not as an eye drop. It is found in eyebrite.

jauntty: @Op.....I really appreciate you for starting this thread. I have a little advice : when people make any complain about any issue with their Eye and vision, I think its best we discuss their eye problem with them and also tell them the treatment options before we can now refer them to an Eye specialist. As a Doctor myself, the way U prescribe that Eyebrite for every condition even without telling the patient what's the likely cause of their eye problem is disturbing. Please let's help people and not just market some products. Thanks.

TUNEX89: How can albino short sight be corrected or thoes it has any treatment ?

Justeenaleo: Hi
Woke up few days ago with a painful sensation in the eye, thought it was lack of sleep but then it turned to boil and its been there since, doesn't pain me, its just there making me uncomfortable,is there anything I can use for it,its just like a little pimple under my lower eye lid. I can't go to the doctor cos where I am the doctors are nothing to write home about, they might give me drugs to abort my eyes

jauntty: There are 2 common conditions that looks like "boil" in the eyelid. 1. Chalazion. 2. Hordeola. They are basically due to blockade or infection of the little glands on the eyelids. Send me a mail so that I can ask U some questions and advice U accordingly. Brainyjaunty@gmail.com

elthakeyz: hello, i've been having this problem of my eyes being dry and then just two nights ago my right eye became red and i bought chloranphenicol. what do you suggest? is it safe?.

jauntty: What are the symptoms U are having with this dry eye ?? Is there pain? Sandy sensation ? Itching ? Tearing ? Discharge ?

elthakeyz:
itching, sandy sensation and pain. no tearing and discharge.

jauntty: Spectacle corrections and visual rehabilitations.

TUNEX89: how do you mean ? Pls can you drop you digit here for me to contact you.

Mariocuzo: @op pls was ur take about contact lens having bin using glasses for d past 12yrs,shortsightness and asimagtism,@-7,I want to alternate it with contact but I kip gettin dis discouragement about infection risk,prone to blindness.thank you.

jauntty: I would suggest u go to a good eye clinic where they can do a test to confirm if U really have Dry eye using Schimers test or Tears Break up Time (TBUT). That Chloramphenicol eye drop is not likely to help with dry eye. What U will require are "Artificial tears" or "Tears supplements" such as HypoTears, Tear Naturale (Alcon product) or Ivymoicell. Also, try and avoid things or conditions that exposes your eye to dryness.

elthakeyz:
Alright thanks alot and can Dehydration cause dry eye?

soonest: @Op, thanks for opening this thread. My son is a bit crossed eyed on his left eye, i.e the left eye doesn't move in synchrony with the right all the time. I said a bit cos its not noticeable all the time. What could be done for him. I intend taking him to a teaching hosp but I need background info first. Thank you

jauntty: That condition is either Tropia (Strabismus) or Phoria. These are terms to describe
when the eyes are not in alignment with
each other. A tropia is always present,
while phorias are there “some of the
time,” such as when the patient is tired
or when fusion is broken (you cover an
eye and it starts to drift).
Basically the Doctor will test whether its tropia or phoria by doing 'Cover Test'. Then he may also determine the magnitude. For treatment : the Doctor will either give him lenses, do some eye training (orthoptics) or combine the two depending on his findings. How OLD is ur son

soonest: Thank you very much for your prompt response. He's 3yrs old.

jauntty: For his age the Eye are still developing, so it is still undergoing changes. But I would recommend you see an Eye doctor. If either phoria or tropia is detected then it can be corrected early to avoid Amblyopia.

Eghosakelly: What causes uncontrolled blinking of the eyes coupled with weakness of the eyes. I have been experiencing this condition for years now and have used recommended glasses for a few years but there is hardly improvement. Plz Dr what are the likely causes of this condition and is there any solution ?

jauntty: is there pain?? Do u have difficulty moving your eye at any direction??
