@ drsteriod
My mom feels pains in her eyes like there is a needle pricking her....what do you think is the cause and what would you recommend. Thank you

dry eyes,allergic conjunctivitis,cornea abrasion,pterygium,trichiasis are some of the causes of prickling sensation. I wil like 2 know how old is ur mum,cos post menopausal women are prone 2 having dry eyes

Thanks Dr for refering me back to d medical register n my oxford dictionary, was a superb experience.

Pls i'd prefer u to give me antioxidant prescription plssssssss. Though d eye Dr prescribed Vistulent n Optodexine. But urs shall i use? Thanks.

the drugs prescribed by the doctor is perfectly ok..there is really no difference btw these drugs and the one i would av advised u 2 get..

Please i need your candid advise.

Almost 2 months ago, I mistakenly hit my eye on an object.
I felt pain and felt something like sand was in my eye but actually nothing was in it.

i was treated by an eye doctor, gave me some eye drops and after a month, i felt no pain again.

But now, i noticed a small scar in the middle of my black pupil (for sight). The eye ointment the eye doc gave me which i am applying presently, seems not to reduce or remove the scar though my vision was not affected.

What can i do? pls i need reply asap.

Thanks so much and God bless.

trauma 2 the eyeball is one of the causes of cataract I.e traumatic cataract.I believe the discolouration u see through ur pupil might be caused by cataract.it can also be a cornea scar resulting 4rm cornea damage. I wil like 2 see a pix of the eye if possible.u can see an eye doctor asap.

Gud morning Dr, i was at an eye clinic yesterday. I was able to identify completely d alphabet on d examining board wit both eyes, one at a tyme.

I'd explain to d dr who inturn used a torch to survey d eye critically n said nufin was wrong n dat d floaters are located in d Vitrous chambers n floater thus occur naturally in some of d eye chambers. I was wrong to use timolol eyedrop. I also told her an owl/bat hit ma eye one certain night. Thats it.

Happy new month.

happy new month bro..am very happy u responded swiftly 2 my advise..floaters in the vitreous is as a result of shedding of dead cells in the vitreous for regeneration of new ones 2 take place..it is usually innocuos..retinal tear,retinal detachment either rhegmatogenous,exudative,tractional retinal detachment also presents with same symptoms.hence the need 2 rule out all these.cos they are sight threatening.timolol is a beta blocker drug which helps to reduce the amount of aqueous produce,resulting to decrease in IOP.it is one of the drug combination used by patients suffering 4rm high intraocular pressure and glaucoma 2 bring down IOP.hence,u don't nid such drug unless u ve been diagnosed of any of these.u can get antiocidant drug 4rm ur eye doctor to help speed up the disappearance of the floaters 4rm the vitreous.tanx

dr steroid cataract may b suspected frm my point of reasoning.

his case hx is not fully detailed,making cataract a suspect also.I beliv only a comprehensive eye test can rily bring out a good diagnosis of his problem.

Ayo081:
tanx alot doc, so ntng else dan to visit a clinic?

yes...so that the doctor can thoroughly examine u to know if there is any underlying cause to it..tanx

saintruky:
thanks for ur prompt response Sir.

D 1st Dr i met when i couldnt see a thing with d eye prescribed predisolone tab, Vistulent n Optodexine eye drops, he didnt run a diagnosis.

D Dr at d central hospital didnt tell me d result of d diagnosis, cos after reading d board to d level i did, she said since i could identify to dat level, nufin was seriously wrong, then she prescribed predsolone tab, metro tab/ meta B (drug pregnant women take once a week) n Optodexine. Thats it thanks.

the black spot u complain of is a sign of floaters in ur visual field. A proper ophthalmoscopy procedure must be carried out on u 2 know which part of the eye it is located,either in the anterior chamber or posterior chamber..pls try go 2 ur eye doctor and explain 2 him..vistulent is a good drug 4 thatm..thanks

saintruky:
Hello Dr thanks for d good work u doing. God bless u.

In my case, i had appolo n wanted it to go dat instant it occured, i used a very harsh eyedrop n d following day my eye was completely covered, later i struggled to make it open n eventually treated d apolo. Later i started noticing my vision was blurred, so i ignored it feeling it would clear. One morning, i woke up n though d right eye which had d apolo was open, but i couldnt see wit it, i only see wit d left eye. Since it was an emergency i ran to an eye dr who gave some prescription n dat was how d eye got open n i could see.

So i had to check into central hospital to see anoda eye dr. D prescribed drug dosage was making me swell, had to stop it. Its effect was killing. I read d test board n was unable to identify d alphabets in d last 2 lines with my right eye. Now I got a blurred vision n do see black spot going along ma vision.

Please how can i get my eyes completely cleared n d black spot removed as well. Thanks. Please

please I wil like 2 know the name of the eyedrop u used, and wot the doctor diagnosed you of having..tanx

I'm having some kind of movement in both my eyes and they itches me, I do scratch them also, what can be the problem and what am I suppose to do?

thats sign of allergic conjuctivitis,which results 4rm exposure 2 allergens like dust,smoke etc..kindly visit an eye clinic and see a doctor

Ayo081:
tanx doc. Can i try visine n what r my chances of getting it at any shop?

visine can't take care of that,it is a vasoconstrictor.

Ayo081:
RE@drsteroid:tanx doc. Its the bulbar conjuctiva,dey r exceptionaly brown. I don't smoke nor drink.

try see an eye doctor by visiting an eye clinic

ayansegzy:
hi doc.. Pls i need ur help...in de afternoon when i sleep ad wicked my eye will be red..or when am feelin sleepy my eye will be alway red..or when am tired...what can i do to stop dis?

whenever we sleep the blood vessls in our eyes gets dilated I.e vasodilation,causing more blood flow to the conjuctiva blood vessels and other tissues,so our eyes tends 2 look red than it was b4 sleeping..this is a normal physiological process..it bcoms a problem when associated with other symptoms like discharge and gritty sensation..tanx

Youngbankee:
i cant read at night or even surf on my fone at

lectures..... tnx sir God bless u

your complains are that of short sightedness,I wil advise u 2 visit a nearby eye clinic 4 detailed examination,diagnosis and treatment..tanx

abdol262:
i watch screen a lot and i begin to realise somethng is wrong on vision ( the distant vision) to the extend that i can't read a leicens number of a car that is a metres away, but i can see clearly at a close distant. Do i need a glass or a med?

I wil advice u visit an eye clinic were proper examination wil be carried out on u,the result of the examination wil tel if u need either drug, glasses or both.tanx

GraceInUSA:
I'm grateful. I get you. My next questions are:
Would the glasses be for life??
I noticed that viewing distance, my eye sight seems to be sharper than the glasses. In other words the glasses is blurred at distance. Is it supposed to be so??
Is it normal for my eyes to feel dry under a room with the fan on??
I used to have serious problems using a laptop because of the eye pain. Does the glasses also solve that problem??

no,ur naked eye ought nt 2 be better than the glasses when viewing distance objectsm.I tink d problem is either ur lens power seems 2 weaker compared 2 ur refractive demand or u have an underlying pathology e.g diabetes. Fan helps 2 increase d rate of evaporation of tears thereby making d eye dry,but a reflex feedback mechanism heps 2 produce and release more tears when such happens,making d person 2 be more comfortable,I bliv u nid visit an eye clinic so dat ur tear film stability andtear volume can be analysed..yes ur glasses is suposed 2 relieve u also of d pain u ecperience wheneva u use ur laptop..but if u use a distance single vision lenses,n u ought 2 be using a near add with it,but not incorporated in it,u wil find it difficult workin on ur computer or other near work,dis is mainly 4 patients above 39years old.pls visit ur eye clinic and make all ur complain known 2 ur eye doctor..tanx

We didn't visit an eye clinic. D person is not experiencing any pain or discomfort, its just dat d stain refuses to go.[size=8pt][/size][i][/i][/quote u can add me up on bbm or whatsapp,so that I we can talk more on this.sori I replied late,there were so many questions 2 answer,never knew I skipped urs.tanx

I wil like 2 know how old u re,the discharge is a sign dat ur eyes have been infected by micro-organism..I wil like 2 know the nature of d discharge,is it watery or sticky,and does ur eyelids sticks 2geda wen waking up in d morning?difficulty seeing distance objects clearly and wen reading indicates refractive error or pathological condition..tanx

cheezkid:
Oga doctor. Im a patient of shortsightedness. I have been using corrective lens for 7 years still the state of my eye sight is not improving. Please tell me honestly if my bad eye sight can be corrected or was i deceived by my optician who told me that my spectacles would correct it??

the trut is that lenses don't correct the eyes..being short sighted is usually as a result of the length eyeball either being too long or the refractive media power I.e the cornea and the crystaline lens being too strong,so images tends 2 form in front of the retina and not on the macula..wot glasses does is that it helps 2 push the image formed on the retina so that the patient can see far object clearly and comfortable..although,tru clinical experience,I ve discovered dat glasses tends to correct some patients with low myopia after using deir glasses for some time,and dey bcom emmetropic I.e there eyesight becoms normal and they can see clearly without glasses..I wil advise u visit an eye clinic regularly I.e 6mnths-1year, so as 2 always review ur refractive status..tanx

GraceInUSA:
Thank you for this rare opportunity. I was recently given a pair of glasses this month. I was diagnosed of refractive error. I feel pains when the eyes are opened. Its more when I just come out of the bathroom.The prescription reads thus:
SPH +0.25 CYC -0.50 AXIS 0.90
Now I need to know what it means in English language. I have problems staying in a room where a fan is on and also have problems staying under the sun although I'm not an albino.I asked for photochromic lens, I was given something that isnt. I want to know if the prescription determines if its gonna be photochromic or not.

wot the prescription means is that u have: simple hyperopic astigmatism..photochromic lens are lenses that works in an automatic way by adjusting itself 2 becom darker while u are in a bright environment so that u can feel comfortable,it also adjusts itself when in a dark environment by looking brighter so that enuf light can enter the eyes so that the patient can see comfortable..if ur lens is nt responding dis way then its nt a photochromic lens..tanx

gerber404:
Doc, my left eye can see more distance writing than my right eye, when i try to compare the two when reading hope its not a problem

I wil like 2 no how old u re..that's a sign of anisometropia,u nid to visit an eye clinic urgently 2 avoid suppressing the bad eye which might result 2 the bad eye being suppressed and deviated (strabismic or tropia). The end result being amblyopia in that eye I.e not responding 2 any optical or medical treatment..refractive error,cataract,glaucoma and other eye conditions can cause this

marquiseT:
Thank you doc,but I didn't get an answer to my question about severe headache after reflection to light source,tv,projector,the sun..

it shows u re highly photophobic. I.e ur cone cells are highly sensitive to light.I wil advise u go 2 an eye clinic were u can get a photochromic lens that wil help protect ur eyes against excess light.tanx

callertune:
Good day Dr.
I am 25, I had never had eye problems before until recently. i do use sunglasses for long cos excess exposure to sunlight causes me headache.Recently, I have been working with laptops and microscopes and now my eyes hurt with little pains, getting to a point i couldn't even use a microscope for an hour but the job really require working with microscope for long hours 4-5 hrs daily for couple of days-weeks. To help it, i stopped for a while and used vit A and yeasts. I dont use any med glasses and i want to go back to microscopy next week. What should i do? i can barely stay on overlited place, i had been avoiding my pc even phone!
Thanks.

it shows u re highly photophobic,try reduce the brightness of ur laptop screen..and avoid 2 much bright light..or better still u can visit an eye clinic were a photochromic lens can be prescribed 2 u with ur refractive correction if any..tanx

DaimlerBen:
Gratitude for your benevolence. Please, where can one procure medicated sports glasses? I've scoured virtually the whole East & South-South. Even Konga & Jumia aren't helpful. Thank you.

don't have any idea

Good Morning Doctor, I av a defect with my eyes which i wasnt born with. Although i cant say exactly when it started but its been like that since my primary school days and now i am 27years old. One of my eyeballs is always looking sideways wen am actually looking straight. Whenever i try to correct both to look straight, my vision become so blur that i hardly can see anything and my eyes become teary.
If i use one eyeball at a time, it looks quite normal. I have never used a recommended glasses but i use a sunglasses jes to cover the defect from people. Please Doc, is there anything to be done to correct this? Thanks *attached are pix of my eyeballs*

it shows u have exotropia I.e ur right eye moving outward..u can visit an eye clinic for proper eye examination 2 see if u have refractive error or refferred 2 see an orthoptist who can hep train the deviated eye muscle...try do dat asap

Ismaxtr3:

Teenzy:
...Thanks a lot Doc..but is there no drug he can use to clear it up..

there is no known drug that can clear cataract but some anti oxidant containing drugs helps 2 slow down cataract formation...surgery is d only option 4 matured cataract
