this shouldnt be a thing for worry. It's a natural phenomenon experienced by some persons when light passes through the eyes at a certain angle nevertheless a physical inspection by a professional wouldnt be a bad idea.

Thank you soo much.
So, it's safe to say that if confirmed, his vision won't be affected at all, right?

this doesn't affect vision unless there's something else but not related to this as posted.

i was thinking towards giant cell arteritis but you are quite young to be having that. You could meet your dentist for an assessment . What you are having has nothing to do with glaucoma to the best of my knowledge

Thanks Doc. And please why do i still feel aches in my eyes even after using my glasses. This usually happens whenever i use my phone for like 35mins and above. There is this feeling of inconveinience which results to eye ache.

probably the glasses are not the right one for your eyes .

Pls who can give ME link or be of assistance to any FMC or teaching hospital that's recruiting for Medical Officers (Doctors), I'm just tired of searching and staying at home.

rather than staying home, you cld fix up in a private practice. Though the pay might be discouraging but you would be gaining in knowledge and experience pending when a better opportunity comes for u.

well it's just a sub conjuctival hemorrage and would resolve overtime. If it's just the blood stain, then , there's no cause for alarm.

Pls get your IOP checked. If you also have feelings of vomiting some times just get your IOP value checked.

well, your suggestion aint out of place but since it only occurs during teeth grinding , i doubt it has to do with his iop. also , it isnt out of place for some persons to experience head aches or pain when they grind their teeth.

Yes i do feel like vomiting at times. My next appointment is next month.

These are classical symptoms of angle closure glaucoma. Occipital headache, ache around the socket, ciliary flush ( red - watery eyes), and gastric disturbances. Checking ur IOP will help rule out increased IOP for the pains.

Good evening Doc, please should I be worried about this white patch at the corner of my 4months old baby eyes. It's doesn't itch or disturb her, though it keeps increasing in size

a dermatologist would be in a better position to evaluate that.

Hello Doc, more grace to you.
My eyes are really itchy and red. Been scratching thru out the day. Had to see nurse and She told me dat I should take a drug called Banocide to stop it. I don't know if She's correct. PLs what do you suggest I do to stop the itching and redness.

you shouldnt use the recommendation of the nurse. What you are experiencing is most likely an allergic conjuctivitis. I'll not like to prescribe online but the drug the nurse asked you to get isn't gonna work for the condition you are likely having

Hi doc,

Please is it OK for my dad to go for cataract surgery. He has had cataract for years. He is diabetic and it is now affecting his vision. Though his sugar level will be under close watch before the surgery. What are the chances of having this done on a diabetic patient.

I am worried sick about the surgery!

there's no surgery without risk . Just ensure the surgeon you are using is quite an experienced one. He'll do fine as an experienced surgeon is very well knowledgeable in handling such a situation. Do your findings on the success stories of d hospital / clinic u intend using .

Hi Doc, I really use phone a lot, many hours a day I must admit. For about a week now, my eyes are really itchy especially whenever I'm looking at the phone screen. It's worse at night when everywhere is dark and I'm doing something on the phone. Please what do you advise?

i do not recommend drugs without examining you in person. u would realize i suspected either of the two conditions listed and an examination would help me to be certain of which is and recommend treatment appropriately rather than blindly prescribing drugs here fr u. it would be better u make out time to visit an eye clinic close by u.
