ok that's kul.

But I think this latest CVF test won't require OCT anymore since you said my visual field isn't normal? That's a sign of glaucoma.

yes but the defect is mild and it all still depends on what your doctor handling your case wants. you have to listen to his/her opinion first.

the fever you experienced is possibly a sign of systemic infection. are the eyes red ?

you are photophobic hence the discomfort around lights and this symptom can be associated with different eye conditions hence there's a need to see ur eye doc and address it. Also try to blink often when using ur phone nd try to take 20sec breaks every 20min by looking away from your phone . Also using photochromic AR glasses can help and u still have to be examined for a refractive error. So u see you LL be needing to see an eye doc

so sorry desaie. Do not feel depressed already. It's just a challenge and i'm hopeful u'll get through with it. I'll really need a lot of info to put things together to possibly know what might be the issue with your eyes. Your doc is a professional and i respect his/her opinion but if you are having the finance to seek a second opinion elsewhere, u should give it a try and see if their opinion tallys with that of your doc. Stay strong, u 'll pull through this. Best wishes

hello Doc,

Last week Friday I took the step for another opinion. meanwhile I stopped taking the eye drop and drug on Wednesday to clear out of my system.
the Optometrist I saw on Friday did eye pressure test, he got 17 and 18 for the 2 eyes and said it is normal but he said we have to bear in mind that I was taking drop till Wednesday and the day was Friday. he told me to come back on Thursday for a new eye pressure test. he said the cup size is within normal and not enough to diagnose glaucoma but he said we should chill till Thursday. so I have stop taking drugs and eye drop since Wednesday, just PCM for pain. the doctor even said my vision is 100% there which I confirmed. just the blurriness and slight headache sometimes.

but within yesterday and today, one eye started closing compare to the other. attached is the picture. not painful but the discomfort is too much. I am beginning to develop fever.

hi dear, this isn't having to do with eye pressure. Do u experience muscle weakness?, double vision? I'll recommend u checking ur bp and going for a blood sugar check ASAP. Also there might be need to do a CT scan . Get an ice pack and place on ur eye that is closing for 5min and tell me if it opens wider than how it used to be. U'll be needing to Go back to your doctor ASAP and inform him /her of the latest development

I have called him
he said I should come 9am tomorrow. I don't have double vision, just blurred vision and objects seems closer than usual. I have tried the ice pack on the eyes, just little effect. the heaviness seems liighter
when I called the doctor, he asked if it was red which it isn't. No serious headache. can I check sugar level now as I have eaten breakfast though i checked both sugar and bp 2weeks ago and they were normal

no muscle pain, I just find it difficult to sleep at nights cos I keep thinking of the eyes and its making me restless.

the heaviness I feel reduced. the eyes opened just a bit more. I can even rest my head on the bed now. no headaches but I feel worried, restless and hoping tomorrow can come fast. just pray it does not get worst before then

the 2 eyes scratches me and can't look at light or stay under the sun

if I cover the other eye with my palm, The eye opens wider.

Good morning Dr.
I noticed My little boy who's just 1yr 9months left eye doesn't align with the right eye suddenly. I took him to a consultant and she said it's lazy eye and that since he's still growing there's a possibility of him out growing it. But again I noticed it's not always all the time he does it, usually when he's in a dark or confined environment or when he's tired/sleepy. He's very normal once we step outside.
I tried another Dr. Who advised patching, we tried it and noticed he was struggling with vision but he wouldn't let the patch stay.
I'm worried because it's already a month and it saddens me. Any advise, I'm confused

hi dear your baby is having an intermittent strabismus. I'll advise patching of the good eye for some hours in the day . This is usually difficult as babies would always wanna take it off their eye. Discuss with your doctor on the option of using an eye drop in the place of patching.

Thank you sir.
Would do just that, sorry for asking Dr. but what's the average turn around time for recovery be it patching / eye drop and is the intermittent strabismus easier to treat/less complicated?

i cannot give an average as it varies for individuals . Sometimes other approach to addressing it could be employed along the line. At this stage, there's a very good chance for correction.

hi dear; glad the cause has been identified. With good management of the underlying cause, things would likely go back to normal after a while say like a month or more. Discuss with your doc if you can be placed on vitamin supplements. For the discomfort, you could discuss with your doc on patching the droopy eye. Best regards

Good morning all,
I got hit in my left eye by a ball yesterday morning, Due to pains and because I couldn't open it properly, I bought eye drop immediately, use it and slept.
After like two hours, I woke up and I am able to open it a little bit but I notice something like a flash in my sight and also in the dark I couldn't see anything with the same eye, this morning also I notice there is blur in the same eye vision.
Pls any remedy or solution I could use
Thanks in advance
