not sure of any i can recommend in Niger state but why don't you share the problem here ? You could get a lead on what might be the issue. you could explore clinics in abuja since it's a neighbouring state to niger state

My baby has intermittent strabismus.

It stopped then suddenly came back, still intermittent but seems more conspicuous now.
He's 19months old.

Thanks

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.

Dr. This is one of our previous engagements

they may be needing to carry out a cycloplegic refraction on the baby. Many clinicians run from it cos attending to kids that age can be very difficult. You need a clinician that would be patient enough and skilled in handling kids that age. An orthoptist or a pediatric optometrist or ophthalmologist would be best for such

Yes sir, Abuja

Can it be treated or it can only managed?

Masdec:

it's not just a one off thing. You'll need to occassionally meet with your doctor and manage through until the child get through with it. IT can be treated but it's a journey

Good morning Doc,
I went for check up and the doc said it's glaucoma, my IOP was 8 and 12, was told will need to do OCT scan, she placed me on dorzolamide hydrochloride ( was told it's a combination of two eye drops) and hydroxypropyl. She said I shld come back in two weeks. I had done CVF before and not she said OCT. Are there some food I need to do away with. She said I shld avoid coffee( shld I also avoid tea) ?
I was given a polarised glasses too.
I'm 33 yrs old now and she said I might HV to be using d drop for a lifetime. Please I don't want it to get to a stage of having to do surgery.

yes glaucoma should be queried as the difference in pressure between the two eyes is quite significant as it ought not to be more than 2mmhg. you are likely having a normal/low tension glaucoma. Doing an OCT is quite necessary to establish a diagnosis. though there might be other investigations like pachymetry (to see if the pressure difference is possibly due to the corneal thickness difference between the eyes )your doc might want you to do aswell. As for the coffee, studies have shown that caffin increases eye pressure and this wouldnt be good for you. sorry you'll have to use your drugs through out life if it's established you re having glaucoma

Thank you doc. Will update you as it goes.

Mostly at night, when I'm in the room, I will start seeing objects far away from their usual position, the ceiling, the window will appear farther, after a while they will come back to normal, this usually takes time.

Also, I do have itchy and teary eyes. Please what could be the cause of these eyes problems and the solution?

well your night experiece i find quite strange if it is as you just explained. Why dont you visit an eye clinic so they match clinical findings with your explanation and try come up with what could likely be the issue?. your itchy and teary eyes would also be taken care of

Good day Dr. thanks so much for the way you help people in this platform.

Sir, around March last year. Doctor diagnosed me of ASGMATISM. I was given two drops which I bought and used( EYEFGYCATE & BONDPATADINE) till April and went back around July and I was given another set which I use for a while without any problem.

During covid pandemic this year which does not allow me to go back to my station where the clinic is, so I decided to buy the drugs again when I feel uncomfortable with my eyes around May this year. After searching for a while and I can't get them I bought another brand ( IVYCROM & OPATANOL) but of the same chemical composition.
.
The problem is that I only managed to use it for just 2 weeks because my eyes started itching, pinching, sore and dropping water even till now and writing to you(Especially right one). I have stopped using it 4 past 2 weeks ago but I'm still having the problem of eye itching and water dropping. Please what is happening?

Pics 2: Current drops

you shouldnt self medicate as you could be treating off the issue. try to get across to your doc next time before repeating previously prescribed meds. Those drugs re for allergies and i see no reason you are using both of them same time. Use your glasses offen and use either of the drops and do not use more than as prescribed by ur doc

Good Day Doc, I really appreciate your kindness towards helping people God bless u!

Doc please what causes dry and heavy eyes.

TKS and remain blessed!

you might be needing artificial tear drops but management approach depends on the cause but firstly, you'll be needing to see an eye doc to examine you and establish a diagnosis .

U are indeed a blessing! God bless u more IJN amen!

Malaria causes more than three hundred million acute illnesses and kills at least one million people every year. 90% of deaths due to malaria occur in Africa, south of the Sahara, and most deaths occur in children under the age of 5.

While huge progress has been made through the use of bed nets and spraying homes with insecticide, this has stalled in recent years. It is widely agreed new tools are needed to tackle malaria.

There are an estimated 100 million malaria cases with over 300,000 deaths per year in Nigeria. This compares with 215,000 deaths per year in Nigeria from HIV/AIDS. Malaria contributes to an estimated 11% of maternal mortality.

I happened to stumble across a device (MDM) so advanced that if everybody had it, then we will truly wipe mosquitos off the face of Africa

Hello Dr.

Sorry for the disturbance. Please what should my budget look like. I just need an idea considering the fact that they might most likely run some tests on him like you said earlier.

i cannot really say as different clinics have their prices. Your budget should be between 30 to 50k
