I am staying in hostel. My warden have conjunctivitis now.I have red eyes after sleeping only is it conjunctivitis

Female | 18

The symptoms which you are experiencing could be conjunctivitis which in layman’s terms is referred to as pink eye. Conjunctivitis indicates the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, transparent layer surrounding the white area of the eye. In my opinion, you have to consult an ophthalmologist.

Your situation with your eyes sounds very serious as you have tears, itching, and pain. The causes can be many like allergies, infections, or dry eyes. To help with your symptoms, you may try a cool compress and avoid rubbing them. Besides, you need to make sure you blink frequently so that your eyes will remain moist. If the symptoms continue or get worse, medical advice from an eye specialist should be sought immediately.

The thing is that my father had a cataract surgery 9 days ago but as normal patient his eyesight hasn't come yet. He is facing blurriness or cloudiness and not able to see things properly. Kindly guide me by giving the best suggestion from your side.

Male | 56

The cloudy or blurry vision is one of the normal things to experience during the first few days after cataract surgery. Yet, as the condition has lasted more than a week, you are advised to see your ophthalmologist. In this situation, your father can ask these eye doctors who previously did his cataract for a close examination and treatment.

The oil gland in the eyelid is blocked leads to chalazion. A small bump might appear and then edema or tenderness might occur. Generally, warm compresses are effective in curing it. If not, an eye doctor may recommend antibiotic eye drops or ointment.

I have a squit eyes I wanted to have a check up

Female | 22

You have a condition called "squint eyes", aka strabismus. The situation is where one of the eyes is not functioning right, thus the two eyes are directed in different ways. Sometimes, you will see one eye looking one way, like in, out, up, or down. One reason could be the weakened eye muscles, or the problem may be with the nerves that control the eye muscles. The type of treatment may include glasses, eye exercises, or surgery, depending on the cause and degree of the squint. It is vital to visit an eye specialist for an accurate assessment and a discussion of the best treatment choices for you.

I take ashwagandha daily, can I donate my blood? And I had a Lasik eye surgery 3 years ago.

Male | 21

Yes, you can give blood if you take ashwagandha every day and had Lasik surgery 3 years ago. The ashwagandha herb is safe and will not impact your blood donation. The Lasik eye operation you had some time ago also does not stop you from giving blood. Just make sure you feel good on the day you plan to donate blood.

Dry eye problem. Watering eyes, blurry vision, burning

Male | 26

Dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce adequate tears or the tears are poor quality. It can lead to watery eyes, blurred vision, and a burning sensation. Potential causes include aging, certain medications, or extended screen time. To help alleviate symptoms, use artificial tears, avoid smoke exposure, and take breaks from screens. Additionally, frequent blinking can help keep your eyes moisturized.

What is this brown stuff coming from eue,looks like long strands of hair

Female | 63

You could have dacryolithiasis. Brown stuff from your eyes that looks like hair might mean your tears aren't draining well. Blocked tear ducts can cause irritation, redness, and even infection. Try warm compresses and gentle eyelid massages to help with drainage. If the problem persists, see an eye doctor for proper treatment.

8 years old kid is having cataracts 60%+ . Kindly suggest best lens for kids, And the best Doctor for kids eye surgery . Is surgery only option to cure this or any medication can cure this disease ?

Male | 9

Surgery is the best choice for children facing the problem of cataracts. For the best vision in kids with cataracts intraocular lens (IOL) is recommended, as it offers the most customizable solution based on a particular case. Consulting an eye specialist is the key to exact diagnosis and effective treatment. Medication can't be a remedy for cataracts; surgery is mainly needed to have the eye lens with cloudy removed and vision restored.

Optic atrophy due to be retinitis pigmentosa

As per my understanding, you want to know whether retinitis pigmentosa can lead to optic atrophy. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is rare degenerative disease affecting the rod photoreceptors in the retina. The optic disc in RP may show optic atrophy, usually defined as a 'waxy pallor' of the disc, and is assumed to be a due of photoreceptor degeneration. Consult an ophthalmologist to rule out the cause in your case and to also guide you for further course of management. You can refer - Best Ophthalmologists in India, to sought consultation!

Male | 33

There's no need to panic when you get some perfume into your eyes. When we get something irritating our eyes, it's common to feel discomfort and unusual things. You may have been affected by the perfume, hence these symptoms. In that case, you should splash clean water on them gently for a while. If it doesn't stop, have an eye specialist see it as soon as possible.

I am a 13-year-old girl, and one of my eyelids is drooping. This happened a few months ago and I thought it would change but it isn't. One eyelid is slightly droopier than the other. I'm not sure if it's Ptosis, but if so, what can I do to get it fixed whenever I look up one eye bends, and the other has a monolid. This also makes me unsymmetrical. My eyelid used to be the same, what can I do to fix this?

It is possible that you have ptosis, which is a drooping of the eyelid. It is important to see an ophthalmologist to accurately diagnose the condition and determine the most appropriate treatment.

It's important to rinse your eye with clean water immediately to remove any residue, even if you're not feeling pain or discomfort. Sometimes, even harmless-looking liquids can cause irritation or infection. To be safe, I recommend visiting an eye specialist who can examine your eye properly and give you the right advice.
