okkk, I don't c any but sometyms, I feel something lyk grain of sand in my eyes

sandy or gritty sensation is a sign of foreigh body or dry eyes,or one of d many causes of fb sensation...I wil advise u go 2 a nearby eye clinic where a thorough external examination can be carried out on ur eyes and cornea..please dnt try 2 rub ur eyes or apply any medication as u can cause more damage 2 ur eyes if the fb sensation is as aresult of cornea abrasion.tanx

how do u know u have dry eye syndrome? If u have dry eye syndrome it means there is problem rung with ur film or production of tear...pls try tel me when u were diagnosed of having dry eye syndrome and ur age.

I have a dislocated lens in both eyes and i have been using glasses since age 4, now am 19 ,is there any solution because now. my vision is diminishing, i cant cross road easily, i cant drive or read easily, is there any solution apart from using those thick CONCAVE LENS.

Dr please i have 'temporal crossed eyes (strabismus)' i.e whenever i focus my sight on an object after some secs it crosses until i change my view. This has made me not to b able to maintain gud eye contact wen interacting. Do u think something can b done abt it?

that means u have subluxation of d lens...u can visit an eye clinic where proper examination wil be carried out on u,and see if u require surgery 2 hep get ur lens back,or implantation of IOL (intra ocular lens)..if u re nt comfortable wit the eye glasses,u can as well get contact lens which wil make u more comfortable...try visit an eye doctor as soon as possible

hi doc,
thanks for this wonderful thread, pls my problem started last month although I hv bn applying eye drop and and taking medication within that time it started, the eye drop seems to relief it for some time, I usually hv this heaviness of the eye with little or no aching, only that I wont feel comfortable when it starts. but i dont hv problem viewing things.within that period it started I came in contace with a girl who complained to me her eyes was disturbing her and she was using eye drop,so I dont know whether I will tagg her my number one suspect, secondly am slightly hypertensive of abt 140/80 although I take medication and control it, so pls what could be the cause of this, thanks in anticipation of your reply.

I wil like 2 know hw old u re,d drug u were using and if u ve visited an eye clinic 2 complain about this?

I have this eye issue, when i look at something straight, my right eyeball is not always at the center, but at the extreme right corner. My sister had the same problem and surgery was done. I dont like the idea of surgery, is there any other way out? can glasses correct the eyeball to the right position? i see well with the eyes.

Dear drsteroid, pls I have a serious eye problem though its hereditary..... I realised that since 2007 I do have stye on my left eye, i have used the home made prescription (using of warm water) and it worked for me... But my problem is that it keeps coming back every year.. Pls I really want to knw what to do about it.... And pls is there any other option to cataract rather than operation

I ve alredy answered the stye part of the question..9oncerning cataract..surgical removal through cataract extraction is the known treatment option 4 matured cataract..however,immature and incipient cataract can be slowed 4rm becoming mature by using drugs rich in anti-oxidants.if any other symptoms is associated with d cataract,dat can also be treated seperately...tanx

@drsteroid what could possibly make the eyes 'water' and tear roll out at anytime without disturbance and it doesn't itch or pain...

there are many things that can cause tearing..allergens,refractive error,paradoxic dry eye, foreign body and many other conditions can cause tearing..- will advise u 2 see an eye doctor asap..tanx

Hello Doc, pls I hardly see anything far and frown anytime am under the sun (been using glasses since age 9 and I wear -1.5).
Recently, I feel something like pin in my right eye, pinning it down.

temitope23:


I've been having this issue for sometimes I notice I shed tears anytime I'm in α place that's fully lit at times during the day when I try to focus on object that are far from me

you rily nid 2 visit an eye clinic and see an eye doctor so dat they can carry out a comprehensive test on u..4rm wot u complained it shows u re short sighted and dis can also cause tearing whenever u try viewing a far object,u tend 2 strain ur eyes and contract the lacrimal gland producing tear and dis wil lead to tearing..jus see an ey doctor 4 proper medication and diagnosis..tanx

please this calls 4 urgent attention.dos d eye looks red,and waters? I wil advise u 2 see an eye doctor as soon as possible,so that proper examination can be done on u,2 no if there is any foreign body lodging in ur eyes or underneath d eyelids..tanx

Hopez456:
Hello docs,.my eyes do itch me, feels dizzy even when just awake from sleep, mostly I feel a foreign object in the eyes. these mostly occur whenever I walk under the sun or when working on my Pc and phone. I visited an eye clinic some days ago, the doctor told me there is a growth in my eyes termed it PTERYGIUM. An eye drop to be used within a month was recommended, Sunshade was also recommended as this as I was told will prevent the penetration of Ultraviolet rays. Since then I have been apprehensive, Don't know if clear sunglasses also prevents UV rays Co's I Don't like the coloured ones.
Thanks for your response.

pterygium is caused by exposure 2 uv rays,dusts,smoke and other exogenous substances..u nid a tinted shade that wil help 2 reduce d amt of uv rays entering ur eyes,a clear or untinted glasses can't do that.there re special sunglasses that re UV rays protected..it wil be better if u can get that..protection of the eyes against these exogenous substances wil reduce d itchy,fb sensation..but wil be perfect if u can use the sunglasses wit drugs prescribed by ur doctor..pterygium surgery,is the last resort 2 a pterygium that has fully encroached the cornea and affects vision..tanx

@drsteroid what could possibly make the eyes 'water' and tear roll out at anytime without disturbance and it doesn't itch or pain...

there are many causes that can lead to that..I wil advise uvisit an eye clinic so that they can assess your tear production,stability and carry out battery of tests on u..hoping 2 ear 4rm u as soon as u return..tanx

Dear Doc, my daughter started her new school dis month. She is 9, she started complaining that she couldnt see the board clearly. Even dough dey use white board. Anytime i check her notes, i find dat she usually write double letters. For instance, she might want to write elements....... She would write eleemeents. In all her subjects. Wat could possibly be the cause?

hmmn..its very gud u noticed this so early,she definitely has problems with her vision or eyes.some children underperform in school due 2 eye problem wch they have,and their parents might not notice this early enuf,thereby blaming the child and believing dey re naturally dull..there is significant rlatnship btw intelligence and the eyes..I will advise she visit an eye doctor immediately so that the necessary treatment can be given to her in form of spectacle prescription or drugs..tanx
