Can dandruff in eye lead to infection?

Hi! Accidentaly got a dandruff patch inside one of my eyes while I was scratching my hair. At first my eye started to shed tears but it never came out (however I didn't rub it), and now it's not longer tearing, but I'm worried if it has the potential of causing an infection. I don't feel an object stuck in there but I don't know if I'll be fine. Apologizes as English is not my first language, hope my message is well understood.

When dandruff flakes come into contact with your eye, it can cause temporary irritation and tearing, which is your body's way of protecting itself. Since the tearing has stopped and you don't feel an object, you're likely fine. To prevent infection, avoid touching your eye and wash your hands frequently. If you notice increased redness, pain, changes in vision, or if irritation persists, please consult a ophthalmologist for guidance.

My maid is having cataract her doctor told her that it is on the verge of rupture..she is unable to pay for the operation. Is it possible to get her operated without much charges?

Female | 40

The reason behind may have been the presence of clouded vision, night time blackout, and light sensitivity. In a person's life, cataracts appear when the eye gets a cloudy lens due to age or specific health issues. To have the problem rectified, the maid should be fully followed up with a health care provider, it would serve as an interference to have avoidable ruptures or another form of complication. Significant discounts or financial aid programs are also available for those in need of medical services in many clinics or hospitals. It is a good idea for her to reach out to the local health facilities and the help of charity groups.

I can't see distance people

You might have a problem looking at distant objects which may indicate myopia (nearsightedness). Do not forget to visit an ophthalmologist who will carry out a full eye examination to know the reason behind your vision problems and to receive the correct treatment.

Aapke bhai ki aankh mein jo takleef hai woh samajh sakta hoon. Jis tareeqe se operation hua hai, kuch waqt lag sakta hai aankhon ke theek hone mein. Dhoondh la nazar aana aksar thoda time leta hai, lekin naye lenses dalne se dekhnay ki salahiyat behtar ho sakti hai. Yeh zaroori hai ke aap doctor se follow-up karne jayein, taake wo puri tarah se jaanch lein aur koi aur advice de sakain. Aapke bhai ko behtar mehsoos karne mein yeh madadgar hoga.

Please Can you answer me.Could you treat eye problem which is retinit pigmentosa diagnos

Male | 17

Yes, of course! Retinal pigmentosa is a visual disability that happens when the cells in the retina do not function properly, thereby leading to a vision problem. Symptoms include difficulty in seeing at night and side vision loss. It's mostly a genetic disorder, and thus it commonly appears in families. Retinitis pigmentosa is yet to be discovered with a cure. However, using sunglasses and low-vision aids can benefit the management of the symptoms.

Hello I am looking for a treatment for an eye whose nerves have stopped functioning.

Male | 60

You might be affected by a disorder of the eye, where the nervous cells in the eye are not working properly. This may be due to aging, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Nevertheless, it also might be that a person exhibits signs of blurred, partial, or total vision loss. Treatments for that might include taking special eye drops or doing procedures that will be put in place to protect your nerve endings that are situated in the eye. Your optometrist can prescribe eye drops or other medications to improve your vision.

I am 13 year old , I have problem on eye down infection

Male | 13

It seems that you could develop a disease known as “lower eye infection”. Symptoms may feature including redness, swelling, and discharge from the eye. It is usually the case that bacteria get to the eye when it fails to respond well. For the infection, clean the eye with warm water and then, if your doctor prescribes them, use antibiotic eye drops. Always wash those hands so viruses stay away and do not spread the infection.

my father will lost both right and left eyes vision and doctrors will say nerve is weakness not possible to surgery vision chances after surgery less what can i do now please suggest other option..

Male | 65

If nerve damage is present and surgery isn't viable, exploring other treatments is essential. Consider seeking a consultation with an ophthalmologist specializing in low-vision rehabilitation, as they can provide strategies or devices to improve his quality of life. Regular visual assessments may help identify any changes or alternative therapies. Lifestyle adjustments such as a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and managing underlying conditions may also support overall eye health.

Hello Mr. Vipin Agarwal. I am really sorry to hear about your problem. It is a common practice to say, "You're getting better, slowly however, a key investigation may be required." Based on your symptoms, it is evident that there might have been some error. Problems like white clouds, black spots, up-down visibility, etc. are not normal. Probable reasons for this include surgical error or corneal deformity. Initially, conduct a blood test and an eye check to get the full picture. Then, suitable treatment can be carried out. See an eye specialist for consultations. Stay healthy.
