Thank you once again.

Only those not seeking a better nigeria would be looking forward to voting in APC or PDP come 2023. How can you be repeating same thing and expect a different result?. The blind can see , the deaf can hear it and all can bear witness that there's no difference between the pdp and apc . There's no party ideology. Same sets of persons cross carpeting parties when it favours their interest .They are just there to use the masses catch cruize... . #nigeriansmakewewiseup#retire every politician 2023

But doctor, does phone damage the eyes, I heard phones emit blue light which causes cataract. Cataract affects the eye lens. How can one prevent cataract.
Although I take yeast tablet and omega-3-fatty acids every day.
I am still very young.

yes but there are blue cut lenses you could use . You could reduce your chances of developing cataracts by using sun shields with uv protection when outdoors , avoid harmful habits like smoking, eat healthy ; taking fruits and green leafy veggies . These would help you

Akinola100:
I will tell him.
Thank you so much doctor

Akinola100:
But wait sir, what about double vision (seeing more than two things), is it temporary? Does it go away with time?

your friend needs an examination by a professional. There are different problems that can cause double vision . Not until the cause is established, i cannot be of much help to your friend as regards the information he intends getting

All because they are licensed to carry and use the gun makes some of these people feel they are superhuman. They forget they are just like every other man that bleed. On one on one combact , most cannot withstand the civilians they oppress and humiliate.

Akinola100:
ok sir.
Thank you sir

I'm 56. I'm having a whitish growth spreading from the edges in my eyes that's irritating and sometimes painful and causes headaches.

I have been to the hospital and eye drops were prescribed and used.

Operation was suggested as an option which I don't want to take.

Please which drug can I take to eliminate the unwanted growth.

Thanks for your kind support.

i presume the growth being described here to be pterygium. Sadly , they are no drops to remove the growth . Drugs are just to take care of the symptoms you experience when the growth is inflamed .

Akinola100:
Ok sir.
But what about amblyopia, is it serious

well, that depends on your definition of seriousness. if by serious, you are asking if he could go blind from amblyopia, assuming it's the case here, then no. but again an eye that is amblyopic could develop strabismus.

Akinola100:
Ok, but if the professional knows what is going on, can the treatment he/she gives ensures that the eye returns back to normal?
Thank you doctor.

depends on what the issue is. There are many things that could cause poor vision and their management and prognosis differs .

Akinola100:
Hello doctor.
I know of someone close to me who has a problem of his eye. His both eyes have the same sharpness and clarity. His left eye the same and right eye the same. Both are same, until recently his right eye became blurry. You won't notice it until you close your left eye to know the right eye is blurry.
He said is like the brain choses the left eye to see and ignores the vision from the right eye. He researched and found out it is refractive anisometropia (amblyopia).
He does patching now (closing the left eye to see with the right eye) for like two to three hours everyday. Although, the right eye improved, like becoming less blurry, doctor, what other things can he still do apart from patching to make sure his right eye is exactly like his left, like how his eye was before. Thank you.

he self diagnosed himself. I wouldn't know if he's on the right course or not. I ll advise him to seek a one on one professional assessment to know what the issue is

it's the Nigerian society that tolerates such. hence, professionals have free rein in behaving in ways they ought not. Also, an average Nigerian is unnecessarily proud and tend to abuse authority when you are at their mercy. In the Nigerian society, ego is put first before service and institutions are weak in ensuring ethics in professions are adhered to. Majority of these persons you think are rude would not in any way behave same to persons they percieve are in a higher social strata . They only exhibit such when dealing with persons they feel cannot be of help to them or cause them to face some disciplinary actions . these same persons would act differently when in organized societies with working instutions and laws .

..am 23yrs...I experience nausea very well..concerning the headaches sometimes it occurs in the morning..I might ignore it but when I get to work..it becomes severe I just take paracetamol and its goes till the following day..

you may probably be needing a neurological examination . First thing, visit another eye clinic to get a second opinion. There may to leads from the eye exam if you ll be needing referral to a neurologist .

Frezhkid10:
..good morning dr..for over two months now..I have being having vision problems..my right eyes doesn't seem alright..I will try to explain my symptoms below
1. It started as if my eyelids were not opening up properly..its fine when am in a place of low light but when I move outside especially during the day..it looks asif my right eye is closing
2. I went to see an eye doctor..he checked both of my eyes and said my eyes seems fine except that my right eye pressure reads 22mmhg..he prescribed oradol and tinmosol
3. After using for 1 week. It still did not go and I did not bother to go back to him cause I was feeling other symptoms along side the eye problem..like headaches with refused to go.. so I went to the hospital was treated for malaria and typhoid but the problems still persisted.
4. Now when I want to read words on my phone it looks double..and when I bend down to write..the book looks further away than normal..
5. When I suddenly opened to bright light..I feel pain in my right eye..slightly above the right eye to be precise..
6.. Now presently it has degenerated to when I walk or stand up abruptly..my eyes turn dizzy for a while
Am I developing glaucoma or it's another underlying issue..?

how old are you ? Do you experience this headaches when you just wake up from sleep ? Do you experience nausea ?

PhiliptheArab:
We don't have these kind of streets in nigeria because we are not ready to pay the kind of taxes that would fund and maintain those kind of streets.

In the UK, if you are living in the city, you pay council tax which ranges from 60000 to 100000 naira monthly depending on the city. That money goes into making the cities look nice

That's why uk cities have great streets.

If we charged that kind of tax in Nigeria, Nigerians would scream.

So we pay scanty taxes and get scanty and bad roads

The bad roads we have in Nigeria are what we can afford. The sad thing is that looting still happens on top

and what is the average income there? Even the ones being paid, of what benefit has it been to nigerian citizens? Tell me what an average Nigerian enjoys from the govt? We cant have those things because of bad leadership period.

Ibk2020:
Pls, since 3 days ago, I usually experience itching eye and watery eye, this only happens in the morning and in the night after lying down to sleep. Pls What what can I do?

you might be reacting to something probably from your bed or spread. Change them and see if it continues

There's no difference between the pdp and apc. Just same persons cross carpeting when the political climate in a party favours their political ambition . Nigerians have to realize that these bunch of evil people in the political arena are not after the interest of the common man. They have been in the arena for too long without making much meaningful impact in the lives of the people. It is time we retire all of them. We cannot change the status quo by recycling these people into power. If we are really desirous of meaningful change, we must endeavour to vote them all out . #stop recycling politicians in the name of party they belong# they are all same and would keep making you live miserably why they and their kids enjoy the good life abroad.# Be wise#

Ok sir, thanks

OJay360:
Assumption. I was hit in the eye by a hard object, ever then till now am having cloudy vision in the affected eye

you ll need to have the eye examined first to ascertain what's wrong and then what could be done

OJay360:
I just can't see clearly with my right eye, I used eye drop in the first year but since then I haven't applied anything

were you diagnosed of cataract or you are assuming it is cataract?

georgikpons:
Hi drsteriod
My boy has strabismus.

Optm

management depends on the cause. Take him to an eye clinic for evaluation first

OJay360:
I've been managing cataract for like 5 years now, is surgery still possible?

of course; surgery is the treatment for it. How have you been managing it if i may ask?

AbuuBilal:
Don't they do it in teaching hospital?

i'm not sure about that . I do not know of any .

AbuuBilal:
In private or teaching hospital?

private

AbuuBilal:
Hi optm. How much does it cost to undergo strabismus (extropia) surgery in Nigeria? Lagos preferably.

it depends on the number of muscles they are resecting. Make your Budget about 300k to 500k .

Have you asked yourself what if this was a test from the brother to see the length to which you love the sister as she claims ? Don't collect the money. Call the girl and speak with her about it and then give her space to sort issues with her family so as not to put yourself in harm's way if indeed the brother's friend has an interest in her

The judiciary should continue keeping silence at impunity . It would definitely get to them

bigcasava1:
Please my Igbos in Lagos stay away from any protest in Lagos you all know how Nigeria hate us.

that's their plan. To bring ethnicity or religious senntiments so as to bring division amongst us. Many Nigerians are not wise enough to realise the politicians always play this card to get the people divided and weaken their resolve bringing in sentiments in their sense of judgement. The yorubas, hausas and other ethnic groups are not your enemies. They suffer same fate with you. The politicians are

pacificom:
The whole problem in this country boil down to the disparities between the riches who are living a comfortable, happy life and those poor who are hungry and angry at the same time. Untill our leaders start bridging the existing wide gap between the extremely rich and poor, there will always be internal war and conflict. Class should be cut down. Taxation should be proportional to individuals income, and government should exempt those living in poverty level from paying tax that they don't even earn as income, and maybe give financial grant and aid on healthcare, accommodation and public services to the poor in the society. Citizens who are entitled to decent lives will not be interested in riots and civil protests. Life is glorious and worth living for the riches, but the poor are depressed and believe that they have nothing to lose even if hell is let lose. Nigerian Government policies are are beneficial and prospers the riches, while the poor are chastised and demoralized by the tough government policies and rules. This are economic issues of a modern time and the solution lies on economic deregulations and restructuring. Problems of a large populated society is more challenging and difficult to solve compare to a micro economy involving few populace in a smaller area of land, even with limited resources.
It is time for our political class to be attentive to voices at the grassroot. Perhaps a regional government which has been widely suggested by many elites could be a relevant solution in this critical and decisive time. Result could be of positive resolution if the idea of a zonal government could be adopted to facilitate independent management of the resources and crisis in each region. The use of brutal force against civilians will further exacerbate the fragile peace between security agents and citizens of this society. Government should consider that there are more than enough idle youths who are ready to risk their lives engaging with security agents. A listening ear is required in solving the problem on ground , and that should be the position of our government hitherto.

the nigerian govt is weaponizing poverty to easily retain power. They do not want to make the lives of the people better. They want it just the way it is so the people can remain subject to them . When a few becomes agitated, they throw them crumbs to pacify them. We would only get redemption by kicking them all out. The present political class are the common enemy . They have weakened all institution and brought them under control. They call the shots and are not subject to any mechanism of checks. Even the constitution is become powerless before them. And now the only resistance is the voice of the people which they seek to put a control mechanism over . We need a new government that would make our institutions of justice powerful and independent

Isn't the police supposed to provide security for the protesters as enshrined in the constitution and prevent it from being hijacked if that's their fear?. It's very clear that there's no regard for the Nigerian constitution and some persons are very well not subject to the constitution. Are we still operating under democracy ? It's a shame the judiciary is not speaking . #operation vote them all out 2023 # we can't continue like this
