am 20, it depends on d source of light i use to read, if i shud read in a large ha'll, dat is spacious and d light is well circulated. It will be normal, but shud i stay in a place d ray of light is concentrated, it will affect me. And if i make use of bright lamp i will be affected. And it sometimes itch me.
Thanks Doc

,ur case is simple but complex. simple in d sense dt d symptom of photophobia u re having could b alleviated by using photochromic lenses and complex in d sense dt photophobia as a symptom could b associated with many ocular conditions nd it wld take alot frm taking a thorough case history to clinical examination to unravel. I wld suggest u visit an eye clinic fr proper examination and treatment __

Meel:
Dear doc eye always pain me severely after looking at a bright light, be it sun, globe, tv. And i have tried abstinence but i cannot totally do without it.

do u also experience dis pain when u read? hw old re u?do u experience any oda 'eye 'symptom apart frm dis pain caused by light? ??+

YYAlhajey:

therez no solution per se jst dt d symptoms can b alleviated with eye drops known as artificial tears bt in some cases steroidal eye drops could b prescribed

nice bt i wld say d dental profession is dormant. come on pple hardly hv access to dental health information. d only places we c u guys is wen u hlp toothpaste companies to promote their brand by recommendin their products. my cousin is a dentist nd i hd tld him dis bfor now. no doubt oral health is v important bt u guys re nt doin enof to enlighten d public.

apcpdpallscam:
tnx u optm but do u think we have orthoptists at specialists.d ones we met at Nat.hosp are mostly optalmlgst.

i dnt knw if we hv at specialist bt its d duty of ur ophthal to refer u to d appropriate personnel. ur ophthal shld knw where to find one

apcpdpallscam:
u r right it's -2 against -12.and Fr d stabismic,she unconsciously exhibit dat often.wat is d cost of contact lens pls.meanwhile,anoda view suggests we produce 2 medical lens,1 Fr day activities while d oda fr indoor activities.d reason given fr d disparity is to use d indoor own fr correctional by blanking d gud eye then stimulating d lazy eye.

handling dis kind of case requires d expertise of a specialist in vision training (an orthoptist ). i tink he or she wld b in a better position to mk decisions on d best treatment options. nd i hv no idea on hw much a contact lens cost bt i knw its more challangin to use dn d normal glasses

i got frm ur oda post dt one eye wz said to b amblyopic. since an eye is amblyopic den d refractive power
in both eyes definately shld differ (anisometropia )
hence using contact lense in ha case wld b better
to prevent xperiencin
disparity in retinal image size (anisekonia ). bt u
may hv to wori abt d amblyopic eye turnin
stabismic (half pst 4 eye)hence causin cosmetic disappeal.

drsteroid:
yes its cool,only if she meets all the criteria for using a contact lens.I wil advice she goes for spectacle lenses taking her age into consideration, due to the extreme care and precautions involved in wearing a contact lens.Thanks

nedu2000:
reading,writing and using a computer. I just saw an article that says that children who spend more time in outdoor activities are less likely to be short-sighted http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Short-sightedness/Pages/Causes.aspx

putin it under environmental façtor is out of context bt i understand d msg u re tryin to pass

nedu2000:
short-sightedness is also caused by environmental factors too not just genetic

how do u mean environmental factor? pls xplain

drsteroid:
Good day! Seeing rainbow around luminous objects is usually not a gud sign..it is one of d major symptoms of ocular hypertension or glaucoma..I will advice u see an eye doctor asap 4 a comprehensive eye examination..thank u

cataract is a likely cause too

aimuan:
how can you just draw a conclusion like dat with research? Hw can u say I made it up? Made it up for what? Pls visit www.stemcellreseachfacts.org

would not want to drag issues. sorry for the quick conclusion but it's not possible at least nt for refractive errors. u may have made d post out of ur little knowledge about eye health and u may have had genuine intentions.. but the truth is u can't correct refractive errors by stem cell.

segzyndpep:
Please can u drop ur number for whatsapp or pin i meed the adult stem cell sir

pls b careful wit him i doubt d veracity of his claim b very careful. he md it up

rexbuton:
your ophthalmologist is wrong.. contact lenses are better for higher powers such as yours.. moving the CL to the corneal plane would reduce the convergence effect of the high minus on the visual system..
secondly, contact lenses would be more suitable if the powers are different with up to -1.50DS or contains cylinder power of up to -1.25DC, as the CL would reduce the chances of different image sizes in both eyes(anisometropia).. summary be say, CL is better for you.. go and get one from a reliable practitioner

na wa fr u so diff retinal image size na anisometropia? abeg correct am sharply. tnk u

billy187:
Hey there Op! 'Optometrist' here. Have you considered Orthokeratology? It improves your vision through the use of a therapeutic contact lens you wear only at night- the contact reshapes your cornea so you don't need glasses or contacts throughout the day. And its reversible!

ortho k lenses cnt fully correct a myopia as high as -6.

classicB:
As a born introvert, i decided to join the church work force six months ago to get more used to people and also to work on the shy part of me.
Two of my sisters are in the church choir and they have both gisted me of how the supposed brother and sisters of God use to continually have sex with each other
We are only four girls out of almost 25 guys in my subgroup and to be sincere, all these people are really nice and most times don't bother we girls too much on works to be done.
The problem now is reality is beginning to show itself as some guys in the choir have already started eyeing me, i don't mind them anyway and I guess they must have assumed me to be an easily convinced type of girl just because of the way I smile
One is always trying to get my attention in church while the other will not stop disturbing me on whatsaap
The same me that thought of joining the church choir is already having a rethink of going back to my former self as a bench warmer I seriously cannot be a part of this kind of hypocritical act going on right in the church of God. I told my boyfriend about it and it doesn't seem new or surprising to him, it's like this is now the new trend in churches.
I don't know the kind of Christian we call ourself but having sex with Co workers right in. Church is just not done, in most cases the girls are at the loosing end cos every guy in church will know how that guy slept with you and they will probably wanna get under her skirt too

u didnt tel us any askd u fr sex. hw do u mean disturb? smone trying to get ur attention dosent mean he wnts sex wit u. i tink d problem is u; as u re quick to jumpin into conclusion. u really nid to work on ur mindset. pple cn b attractd to u fr a reason or d other nd i dnt c anytin wrng in dat. u re nt social i cn tel nd its affectin ur perspective in reasonin as regards this

THE HUMAN EYE
Have you ever wondered what life will look like without your eyes, have you given time to think of the immense impact your eyes have on your overall wellbeing? True we know the eye is important but how important? Give this a try. Close your eyes for a couple of minutes and try to walk around… What did you experience? Well then, as a part of the body, it needs care.
About health defines The eye as an organ that detects light and sends signals along the optic nerve to the brain. In humans, the eye is a valuable sense organ that gives us the ability to see. It allows for light perception and vision, including the ability to differentiate between colors and depth.
Although small in size, the eye is a very complex organ. The eye is approximately 1 inch wide, 1 inch deep and 0.9 inches tall. The human eye has a 200-degree viewing angle and can see 10 million colors and shades.
Now that’s amazing isn’t it? … 10 Million colours and shades. I feel we should share on what it takes to care for this all important part of our bodies. Truth is it does not require much compared to what it offers. I promise, it would be worth your time.
EYE CARE
Eat for Good Vision
Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Really I think everything about the human body is traceable to our plates. My boss mentions this all the time – Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine. And I add, YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E might help ward off age-related vision problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Regularly eating these foods can help lead to good eye health:
Green, leafy vegetables, Fish, Eggs, Nuts, Beans, and other non-meat protein sources. Fruits like Oranges and other citrus fruits or juices are not an option in eye care.
Eating a well-balanced diet also helps you maintain a healthy weight, which makes you less likely to get obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults.
Wear Sunglasses
This is not just about fashion and trends. It is about your EYES. The right kind of sunglasses will help protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. Too much UV exposure makes you more likely to get cataracts and macular degeneration. Choose sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays.


Use Safety Eyewear
For some people, this is not an option. Some professions and career path have work to do along the lines of chemicals, substances and machines that can harm the eye. Professionals in this paths should ensure the adherence to work safety rules. If you work with hazardous or airborne materials on the job or at home, wear safety glasses or protective goggles every time and I mean EVERY TIME.
Certain sports such as ice hockey, racquetball, and lacrosse can also lead to eye injury. Wear eye protection (such as helmets with protective face masks or sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses) to shield your eye
Look Away From the Computer Screen
Computers are essentially a part of our lives, no gainsaying. Staring at a computer screen for too long can cause:
• Eyestrain
• Blurry vision
• Trouble focusing at a distance
• Dry eyes
• Headaches
• Neck, back, and shoulder pain
These steps will help to keep our eyes from the negative effects constant use of the computer may have on it.
 Make sure your glasses or contact lens prescription is up-to-date and adequate for computer use.
 Some people may need glasses to help with contrast, glare, and eye strain when using a computer.
 Position your computer so that your eyes are level with the top of the monitor. This allows you to look slightly down at the screen.
 Try to avoid glare on your computer from windows and lights.
 Choose a comfortable, supportive chair. Position it so that your feet are flat on the floor.
 If your eyes are dry, blink more.
 Every 20 minutes, rest your eyes by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15-minute break. This might be a little difficult for some professionals 15 minutes off the work table? Anyway, it is not a hard and fast rule, just take A BREAK.
Lastly, nature has not left us without help. Several fruits, vegetables and herbs(as mentioned earlier) contains properties that help in eye care. Science has brought this together into easy to use forms. Your eye needs LUTEIN. This link leads to eye wellness. http://dabarpharmacy.com/133-eye-care[img][/img]

nice BT d first step in taking care of d eye is going for an eye check to tel if its healthy and den maintaining d healthy status

heykims:
1. Chief, the might in that word is not just a function of definition but what it encompasses which obviously you ain't knowledgeable of because if u do, u won't post to a public forum that pharmaceutical care will compete with clinical care.
Sorry, I still got no time for the lecturing
2 You never made any comment as regards which the hospital pharmacists be preoccupied with, becoming a Consultant drugs salesmen or this your pharmaceutical care implementation?
Thank u.

u nw use such derogatory wrds as drug sales man to qualify a pharmacist? U c whts stirrin up d problem in d health sector? No mutual respect dis is nt obtainable outside d country where tins re dn rightly. An NSAID was prescribed fr my sista in d hospital nd she wz havin stomach ulcer if nt fr d pharmacist dat chose to ask if she wz havin an ulcer she wld hv took d nsaid wich wz contraindicative in ha case nd a drug sales man wldnt hv cared to ask bt sold d drug. Heard of some oda cases where med dr prescribe wrong drugs nd d drug is changed on gettin to d pharmacist. Every health care provider shld hv mutual respect nd wrk in harmony therez no superiority evry actn shld be fr d pts interest

armadeo:

hajjisemiu:
Thanks for ur response. Will the glasses be used temporarily or permanently? Also, will the glasses cure the pains because I am seriously disturbed?

. I only suggested u cld b a latent hyperope which is a likely possibility if clinical examination did nt reveal any associated pathology. Nd yes if it is, d glasses wld relief u of d pains u xperience

hajjisemiu:
I feel serious pains on my two eyes especially whenever I read through phone or work under the sun. I visited an eye specialist in October and i was given some drugs and an eye drop (BETGLOWSOL-N EYE DROP). I cannot remember the name of the drugs except yeast. I took them but there was no relief.
The following month, i was give another eye drop(NECODEX EYE DROP) which i also took for a while. After taking this, i was partially relieved but i feel pains whenever i operate phone for long. Please is there any drug that I can take to cure the pains because I can SEE CLEARLY no matter how small or far the letters are. The only problem is pain.
I dont have any relative suffering from eye problems. Please kindly help me because i av spent a lot of money.

did d dr give a diagnosis? I tink u may b a latent hyperope nd u may nid glasses despite ur seemly perfect eye sight cos u re exertin excess accommodation to see. Since d dr did nt give a diagnosis i think hez treatin wrongly. Mayb its high tym u changed clinic
