Cataracts is not usually heredity. I would like to know if she is diabetic cus that also result in blur vision. Although blur vision from diabetes tends to change depending on the level of d blood sugar

marvelling:
Yes. But, tearing mostly occurs early in the morning or whenever I wake up from sleep.

morningsta:
Yes, she is diabetic as well. So lowering the level of her blood sugar can possibly take care of the blurred vision?

jauntty:
Its likely not dry eye. See an eye doctor. For now you can start off with an antibiotic ointment such as Aristobet-N ointment evry night, as long as u don't have any history of eye pressure.

I am an Eye doctor, I discovered through clinical experience that most Patients don't really know about some basic things and problems affecting the eyesn and these has led to simple eye problems being seen as complicated and frightening to most patients and they don't really know how to go about it. There are some eye problems that are hereditary,which requires normal routine eye examinations but due to ignorance most patients tend to lose their sight to eye problems that could have been prevented. I want to use this opportunity to enlighten us and provide solutions to problems affecting the eyes,in line with WHO Vision 2020-Right to sight for all, so all questions concerning the eyes are welcomed

Go to maxi-vision @ ikeja , mobolaji bank anthony way, very close to EKO hospital , they are VERY good , but I must warn, they are very expensive too.

They have many foreign doctors that KNOW what they are doing .

jauntty:
6/18 vision is poor. The baseline is 6/6. You need to get optical correction ASAP. The headache might suggest that astigmatism is also involved.

Mehn! I need somewhere affordable, not expensive

Ishilove:
Hi doc. I suffer from mild diplopia. What could be the cause?

Jarus:
Drsteoids, I discovered I had eye issue in September 2011 when I went for an official training and couldn't read the content on the projector from the seat I sat, whereas my colleague that sat just beside me could read everything clearly. Earlier, I had noticed I don't get to read road direction messages until I get very close

I complained to my HR which gave me a letter through my HMO to see optician.


I was tested by optician and she asked why it took me so long to complain, that my eyes were bad.

I was given glasses. That's how I started using glasses. I use it only to drive, when in an event/class/programme that requires me to see long distance.

My question now is: my glasses does the job currently, do I still need to see an ophthalmologist for treatment? I have never seen an ophthalmologist. Never bothered about corrective treatment, since my glasses puts me in normal eyesight position.

Surgery can be done but not in Nigeria tho. Secondly how old is the person ? Visual training can be helpful for younger patients.
