ok was surgery not recommended?

Surgery was not recommended as at that time she went to the hospital. She is with me in Abuja now, I want to see another doctor here. Please should be done, or the hospital to use that is affordable.

. hi there please take your niece for an eye exam . if it's just a refractive error, glasses would be of great help in making her see things at far better.

Ww were told is shorts sighed, must she use glasses? If so will it be a life time something?

hi there sorry fr d late replies. i'm just coming across ur post. pls when needing my attention here endeavor to mention or quote me so i get notified . the sandy sensation you are having could be associated with different eye conditions. it would take an eye examination to know the exact cause. i ll advise u make out time to see an eye doctor if u re still hving the symptom.

Azaebere:
Glaucoma hmmmm

oh so sorry dear. it is well with her. stick to your docs recommendations but any treatment given would be to save any vision left and not to restore it. i advise you and siblings to go for glaucoma screening as well. all will be well

Any good eye doctor here? Please PM me.

Hello doctor, water flows down my eyes when I yawn or there is bright light. Is it normal?

optm:

thanks once again,that's exactly what I did when I couldn't get a swift response from you. after applying the eye drop the itching has gone but only left with the reddish colour of the eye which I also believe will vanishes with time. thanks once again.

Hello Doc,
I'm seeking medical help for a colleague.
Since I joined them I get disturbed by his cataract white eyeball.
It beat me why he would stay that way for years.
So a couple of us came together,we want to pay for his surgery bcz he's an indigent and couldn't afford it and yet a very hardworker.
Can you recommend any affordable, not too pricy (bcz we are just young ppl trying to make ends meet too)and yet efficient place/ person with good review, either in Lagos or Ogun state environs where he can do it. Preferably where after checking him out he'll get a quick date for surgery... Max 1-2 weeks.
Thanks in advance...
And nice job you're doing here.

. pterygium isn't much of a clinical concern unless when it starts causing visual disturbañce by encroaching the cornea( glass like tissue over d black part of your eye) of which a pterygium excision would be done in dat case. sometimes it could be irritated aswell causing some discomfort nd eye drops re usually prescribed in such situations. nevertheless if it's a cosmetic concern fr you, u cld go for its excision but there's a possibility for regrowth. pterygium is said to be caused by much prolong xposure to harsh environmental conditions

Will do....
