[color=#990000][/color] language skills depend mainly on enviroment and upbringing! I had dis friend in school who was very intelligent and she knew alot. Her challenge was english. But she was still able to pass any message across to anyone and we all understood her ( although she always prefered to speak her mother tongue). Alot of dumb people are very fluent in english language. Language is just a tool for communication and not an evidence of intelligence!

Jastombutex11: Nothing looks constructive to a dumb a33... mind u i didn't even comment on the post so its your head now not just your foot smh

say whatever u want and call me whatever. But since u didnt comment on the post, whose comment did i quote

Jastombutex11: You ladies just need to shut up when men are discussing real issues. If u are the one in his shoes i bet u spit in the air i he tells u he's not getting any attention from you. Mind u BONE OF HIS BONE threatening him with Divorce. I bet that's something else. Sip alomo and relax okay come back and comment constructively my dear

constructively my foot! Where is ur own constructive comment? Is it this one? Smh!

plezant: I wnt to ask a question ooo. What if Dayo is OP's blood brother. Will d wifey complain cos I hv dis call ritual wit my sis every evening aftr wrk. Dnt tink my hubby will tell mi to stop talkin to my sis. Just my 2cents

what did u just say? Ur sister sheybi? U pple are girls and u can even gossip 4 two days. What are two grown up men talking abt 4 2hrs on d fone? Everyday 4 dat matter ooo! Haaaa! Even brothers cant do dat.

A friend will always be a friend but getting married make ur priorities change. If ur friendship with him is making u not to fulfill ur marital duties like having time for ur family etc, then things should change atleast. There should be a balance between ur family and d outside world. Maybe she even feels jealous that u give more attention to ur friend than u give her and d family. Although she went to far with the divorce, but u have to step into her shoes 4 atleast a second.

ItsModella: blah blah blah...

Shaving is too ghetto. If you have a problem with that, you can go and chop stone.

ItsModella: shaving the eyebrows is too ghetto

dvdon: In my time a stupid corper boy proposed 2 a corper girl in d orientation camp bearly two weeks they met in front of everyone n he engaged her.

As me why I called him a stupid boy n I will tell u.

[b][/b]
why did u call him a silly boy?

StateOfMind: Thanks for this piece of information. Now I know why the doctor said I'm a glaucoma suspect. I have high intraocular pressure, but he said my visual field is okay. Dunno about the optic nerve disc one sha.

The eye clinic that misdiagnosed me initially just concluded I had glaucoma cos I had high IOP without considering the two other things you mentioned above.

u r welcome

ACM10: I agree with you. They can be professors of optometry. But that does not give them the license to toy with people's eye or to exceed the area of competence.

@first bolded. . .

@second bolded. . .now I know where you are coming from. But why did u shy away when I wanted to take you on glaucoma.

i didnt need to compete with anyone to prove a point

@ACM10 what qualifies one as a doctor is not the course u studied but the number of years spent in d course of study. Those countries dat that dont license their optometrists as doctors do not spend d same no.of yrs as d doctors of optometry. Nobody here ever said optometrist are medical doctors. They cant be when dey didnt study medicine. They are doctors of optometry. Hence the O.D just like M.D for d medical graduates. Even a pharmacist cld be a doctor of pharmacy without Ph.d just by studying 4 6yrs instead of 5. So Monsieur, i guess u have to have respect for other professions. If everybody in Nigeria is like u, the interprofessional relationship in d health sector wld lead our country to nowhere. BTW optometry is my thing.

ACM10: So untrue! Depending on the stage of presentation, glaucoma can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Well established and late-stage glaucoma are symptomatic. Some early-stage glaucoma are symptomatic. This is where the confusion arise because it can mimic other eye pathology. This is where we separarte the wheat from the chaff. Kindly tell me some of its symptoms so that we can proceed.

my dear! I'm not here to argue but to help create awareness. One thing abt glaucoma is that it has the chronic (primary open angle glaucoma) and the acute one(closed angle glaucoma) which is usually an emergency case. The former is d most common one and is usually the most hammered one because of its lack of symptoms. In dis case vision gradually reduces without the patient even noticing this reduction in vision until one day he notices that his extent of vision has drastically reduced. Most times its detected by the clinician in d course of examination of other eye problems or routine eye check up.
Regular check up is always the answer for early detection and management.

If u mean the symptoms well thats d bad part. No symptoms are noticed. In oda words they are asymptomatic. That is why public awareness is necessary to remind people of the dangers of neglecting regular eye checkups. Any loss of vision caused by glaucoma is irreversible but early detection would help u stop progression of damage to vision.

ACM10: Are you serious with the comment that a 3rd year medical student can confidently infer a serious cancer correctly? You must be having a laugh. I guess you are not in tune with the medical school curriculum. In case you don't know, epidemiology is a subsection of every medical field that can make diagnosis of infectious and non-infectious disease. I'm not here to denigrate the optometry profession. They are noble people. But I hate it when people exceeds their limit of competence. For instance, a woman died in our hospital 3 days ago from the complications of labour. She had a previous history of caesarean section during her 2nd delivery, but delivered vaginally in his 3rd pregnancy. Presented at the hospital for her 4th delivery. Unfortunately, the doctor was not around, so the labour was managed by a nurse. She went ahead to augment labour with oxytocin in a woman with signs of obstructed labour and with a previous history of caesarean section. Hmmm. . .ofcourse she had an uterine rupture and was rushed to our hospital. This is a case of a nurse playing doctor. Those little extra knowledge doctors have is what differentiates them from other health workers.

Rewind back to glaucoma. Tell me the criteria for making the diagnosis of glaucoma and how can you differentiate it from intraocular hypertension? I'm waiting. . .

there are three things that confirm the diagnosis of glaucoma, viz, the intraocular pressure (IOP), the individual's visual field and the appearance of the optic nerve head (optic disc). Someone having just high IOP doesnt indicate glaucoma but that patient could be a glaucoma suspect.

ACM10: You are ignorant! Optometrist is equivalent to a radiographer, while an ophthalmologist is equivalent to a radiologist. Though an optometrist is trained in eye care, but his skills are limited. You wouldn't want an optometrist to toy with your eyes on the operating table.

i wonder who is ignorant here. As primary eye health care practitioners, Optometrist are the first point of contact for patients and they refer patients to ophtalmologists after they have diagnosed d patients problem. This referal only takes place if the limit of the scope of practice has been reached. Ophthalmology is a medical specialty just like cardiology and pediatrics. Its people like that feel they know everything but are the most ignorant people. I advice u to look for the World council of optometrists' definition of optometry. :/:@

wengerjay: Who is an Optometrist?To the best of my knowlegde,the Opthalmologists are in the best position to diagnose and treat Glaucoma.People say Optometrists only dispense glasses.Please i need clarification.

according to WHO, optometrists are licensed eye and vision care providers that refract and dispence optical aids like glasses,diagnose and treat ocular diseases and rehabilate eye conditions. Ophthamologists are medical practioners that specialize in eye diseases and surgery. I hope u have been clarified

adexsimply: pls can addiction to laptops and PDAs lead to glaucoma?





*panicking*

no....they cant lead to glaucoma. But they could lead to a condition known as "computer vision syndrome"
