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

pls if you still want your vision, quickly go to your eye doc ASAP. You shldnt self manage this

I am back sir.
I complained to the eye doctor I met, he examined, he made mention of DILATE, poured some liquid to the eye, then I rested for some time. After that he gave me some drugs and eye drop to use for three days, he also recommended I use shade glasses for the period.

I just want to hear your opinion about it
Thanks in advance

I don't know what he checked exactly, he checked with touch light, he con check again with one instrument that direct light Ray and he can view at the same time

The medicine he gave me was Dolo-Meta B, vitamin c and Betnew eye drop

I will advise that you go and see an Ophthalmologist not an OPTOMETRIST... From your description, i sincerely hope it is not a case of Retina Detachment.

Please do not joke with it.

Thank you

an optometrist would do just fine and would know when it needs referral to an ophthalmologist if it requires one.

The symptoms I saw was
Flashes of light
Lots of new "floaters" (small flecks or threads in your vision)
Darkness or a “curtain” over your vision,

u re experiencing all these ? i want u to compare vision between both eyes by covering one at a time . Any much significant difference ? Tell me what u notice

If you are in Lagos, you can visit Eye Foundation Hospital, 27 Isaac John Street, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos State.
There is a branch in Ijebu, Abeokuta, VI, Lekki and Abuja. However, the Vitreo-Retina specialist is usually in Ikeja and Abuja.
You can see if there is any change between today and tomorrow, if no changes, please see a doctor.
Take care

I am not in Lagos but in Abia state, umuahia
Is there hope of seeing one at a federal medical center

You can visit FMC in Umuahia, i am sure tou will see an Ophthalmologist there, then if you need to see a retina surgeon, then they can refer you. There is a shortage in the supply of Vitreo-Retina specialists in Nigeria, infact you can count them.

Dont allow your heart to be troubled, it might not be that deep.. Just watch till tomorrow.

i m asking about the eye that was hit

Good evening sir, whats the cause for eyelid moving or shaking by itself?

most times it's stress related, althogh i'll advise you to do an eye exam to rule out refractive errors as eye strain could also contribute to that and also cut down on caffine consumption if you use caffine.

optm:
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.

Good Day Dr.

Just felt I should update you on the recent happenings.

Today is the 3rd day straight my boy has been very normal. His eyes has suddenly been very normal. I have been praying fervently it should remain so for good.

What's your take Dr.

I could see them in my vision sir,
I couldn't see at night with the affected eye especially from the bottom unless I use touch light even though I could see clearly with the unaffected eye
Also from the bottom, I am having a vision with some little colour changes. like a reduced saturation i.e I won't see a white colour as a plain white colour

optm:

Is there any chance it's actually gone for good or it might still bounce back. I don't want to get my hopes too high up.

Thanks

this is quite serious. Please go seek a second opinion. These are symptoms of retinal detachment and should be given an urgent attention. just as someone suggested earlier, u would be needing a retinal surgeon if investigations confirms a retinal detachment and they have one at eye foundation. Check them out ASAP

it is an intermitten stabismus and there might be occassions that could make it noticeable . take him back to the doc for re evaluation . Your child would be fine. It shouldnt be a thing to cause you much worry; as u can see it's getting better .
