You likely have pinguecula - a tiny white spot on your eye. This could cause eye discomfort. Common signs include redness and irritation. Pinguecula happens due to sunlight, wind, or dust exposure. To ease pain, try eye drops or warm compresses. However, if pain persists or worsens, consult an eye doctor promptly.

Drop of alcohol got into my husband's eye washed it but he has some discomfort what to do

Male | 56

Your husband got alcohol in his eye by mistake. Irritation often happens then. Alcohol bothers eyes, making them sting, redden, and water. First, rinse his eye with cool water for around fifteen minutes. Have him blink repeatedly to flush it out thoroughly. If discomfort remains, try over-the-counter artificial tear drops to soothe irritation. However, if discomfort persists despite these measures, visit an eye doctor.

My vision blacks out when I wake up in the morning

Female | 19

Sometimes, you may experience darkness when opening your eyes after sleeping. This happens due to decreased blood pressure upon standing, causing less oxygen to reach your brain temporarily. Simply rising slowly, stretching gently, can help avoid this condition. If it persists, consulting a ophthalmologist proves wise to ensure no underlying causes exist.

I am 43years old woman. My physical apperance and looks like not to more than 28Yrs. I do lots of computer works too. From Last year onwards my vision starts getting low. e.g. if i read news paper i should give more strain to my eyes. I went to an optical shop and checked with them. They said i have to wear glass with points. Don't remember the points. still i use the same. But, when i remove glass the same has to day give over strain. Can you help me is this a major problem? or need more treatment?

Female | 43

This could be a case of eye strain caused by the computer and prolonged use of it. This can lead to symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches, and the inability to focus. The causal factor is usually the long screen time. To help, try taking breaks, adjusting your screen settings, and making sure to wear your glasses as prescribed. If the situation continues, it is better to consult an eye doctor for more examinations.

One year after giving birth, Nidhi’s periods resumed, and she started experiencing frequent swelling in the upper and occasionally the lower portion of her right eye.

Female | 29

Nidhi’s eye swelling incident might be due to sinusitis, which is caused by acute inflammation of the sinuses. This occurs when the sinus passages are blocked or infected. The swelling is happening due to the presence of the fluid. You can put a warm towel on your eye and also drink plenty of water to help reduce the swelling.

I fell more weekness around eye kya reason ho sakti ha

Female | 22

You are experiencing some extra fatigue around the eye area which is no good. This can be caused by several reasons. Not getting enough sleep, staring at a screen for a long time, or not drinking enough water can weaken the eyes. Try taking breaks from the screens, sleeping enough, and drinking lots of water. If this sensation doesn't go away, see an eye doctor for a check-up.

What are the symptoms one can experience if they have Eye Cancer? Are they noticeable or do they go unnoticed?

Eye cancer does not always cause obvious symptoms and may only be picked up during a routine eye test. Some of the common symptoms of eye cancer are:

Shadows
Flashes of light
Blurred vision
Dark patch in eye that's getting bigger
Partial or total loss of vision
Bulging of 1 eye
A lump on eyelid or in eye that's increasing in size
Pain in or around eye, others.

The above mentioned symptoms can also be caused by more minor eye conditions, so they're not necessarily a sign of cancer. Consult an ophthalmologist. Hope our answer helps you.

If there is blood in your left eye, then it is a symptom of a severe eye condition. I highly recommend you to see an ophthalmologist who can make a correct diagnosis and treatment without delay. Do not postpone seeking for medical help or risk losing your vision.

You should visit an Ophthalmologist right away. One of the signs that may suggest right eye swelling every morning is an infection, allergy, or underlying medical condition. The underlying cause of your symptoms will be diagnosed and treated by an Ophthalmologist.

Should I study without astigmatism glasses because I don't have now . Plz tell. My exams preparation will be effected or not.

Male | 21

Are you studying? Make sure to wear your astigmatism glasses! Not wearing them can negatively affect your preparation. Astigmatism causes blurry vision and eye strain, leading to discomfort and headaches. Astigmatism occurs due to an irregular shape of the cornea or lens, but wearing glasses can correct blurry vision, helping you study more effectively.

I have eye problems like retina detached anything to do about it there? Because I want to travel

Male | 56

Are you seeing floaters, flashes, or a curtain across your vision? This may mean retinal detachment, where the retina separates from the eye. Aging and injuries can cause detachment, which harms sight if untreated. Surgery reattaches the retina, preventing permanent blindness. Visit an eye specialist.

I have amblyopia, one of my eyes are lazy, I want to know if it can be treated by patching ?

Female | 21

Lazy eye, also called amblyopia, makes one eye see poorly compared to the other. It leads to blurry eyesight, doubled vision, and trouble perceiving depth. Children frequently experience this condition. One treatment involves patching the stronger eye, forcing the weaker one to work harder. This may enhance vision in the lazy eye. If symptoms occur, seeking an eye doctor's advice becomes crucial for suitable treatment.

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.
