Hi ..I am forty-eight years old... Can I have LASIK to correct my vision... ??
Ophthalmologist/ Eye Surgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
Lasik eligibility depends on having a stable vision, eye health, and corneal thickness. At age 48, it's essential to consult an eye care specialist to determine if lasik is suitable for you. Other vision correction options like implantable lenses can be considered if Lasik isn't recommended.

Retina detachment in Left eye doctor says hole occurs in retina screen , opretion must compalsary,but after operation results possibility 50% Is results possibility 100% after operation
Male | 70
The detachment of the retina could lead to symptoms such as the perception of flashes of light or having blurred vision. Surgical hole repair in the retina is the procedure that should be carried out. Post-operation, there is a 50% probability that the results will be better. Occasionally, the success rate can be 100%, but it is not a sure thing. However, it is very crucial to stick to your doctor's directions and take proper care of your eye after the surgery.

my left eyelid twitches. Both of my eyes are so crusty that all eyelids are covered with a white, dry film like fine table salt (I have been suffering from dry eyes since 2011). I have been suffering from twitching eyes, namely the left eyelid, for almost 3 weeks. Do you recommend a specific ointment? I was about to order this (Terramycin Eye Ointment 3.5 g)
Male | 31
That crusty film on your eyelids could result from dry eye syndrome, leading to the twitch. Terramycin Eye Ointment might help with dryness and irritation, but double-check with your eye doctor before using new meds. Try a warm washcloth compress on your eyes and some OTC artificial tears for relief.

I am 19 years old and I have little bit pain in my eyes since 3 days ago. In the morning i washed my face with cold water and after that I'll get some relief but then again it stated pain in my eyes
Female | 19
Eye issues can be challenging, especially when you are young. At 19, eye pain may seem unusual, but there could be simple reasons behind it. One reason may be dry eyes from cold water exposure. Another could be eye strain from too much screen time. Staring at screens for long hours can make your eyes tired and sore. To take care of your eyes, take breaks from screens often. Look away every 20 minutes for 20 seconds. Blink frequently to keep your eyes lubricated. Use eye drops for dry eyes to keep them moist and comfortable. If the pain persists, visit an eye doctor. An eye specialist can examine your eyes, identify the root cause, and provide proper treatment to relieve discomfort and prevent further issues.

I have so called Amplyopia in my left eye, and I am 54 years old , is possible to treat that
Male | 54
Amplyopia, known as lazy eye, can happen because childhood vision didn't develop right. Or it can be caused by other eye issues. Signs may be blurry sight, or eyes not working together well. At 54, treating lazy eye is harder, but vision therapy or glasses might help improve eyesight some. Getting eyes checked regularly is very important.

Hello, I would like to ask does masturbation cause glaucoma or blindness?
Female | 35
Masturbation has nothing to do with glaucoma or blindness. The eye pressure causing some visual disturbance is glaucoma. One of the most common activities in human life is masturbation, in which people do not harm their health. If this is the case for you, if you notice hazy vision or experience eye pain, go to your eye doctor for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 21
The hospital will do some tests to find out if you are a proper candidate for the procedure. They will check your eye health, thickness, and shape. For the record, you are 21, wear glasses, and are preparing for exams - you are in a good age group. If they think laser treatment is a good option for you, it can lessen the extent to which you need glasses. Visit an opthalmologist for tests.

I have a eye problem, My eye has pimple what is home remedy for it
Female | 11
A stye is a little, reddish bump on your eyelid. It happens from clogged oil glands in the eyelids. Styes hurt and make eyelids swell. Use a warm cloth on your eye a few times daily to ease discomfort. It helps styes drain and heal quicker. Wash hands before and after touching eyes. Don't squeeze or pop styes. See an eye doctor if the stye doesn't improve after days or worsens.

Want to know about retina treatment
Male | 50
The retina is a thin film of tissue making the inner surface of your eye that transmits the images outside to your brain. Problems with the retina can lead to serious vision issues. Signs of the problem with the retina you might get are blurred vision, flashes of light that come out of nowhere, and the perception of something that is not there in your field of vision. Causes can range from aging to serious conditions like diabetes. In the case of treatment, the restoration of vision is usually done by a surgical operation on the damaged retina.

i have eye twitching from more than a week now and my eye size is reduced left upper eye lid
Female | 17
It sounds like you're having eye twitching and a smaller left upper eyelid. Eye twitching can happen due to stress, tiredness, or too much caffeine. A smaller eyelid might be a condition called ptosis. It can be caused by muscle weakness or nerve problems. Make sure to rest, reduce stress, and see an eye specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

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.

My right eye have been twitching over a week now
Female | 19
Eye twitching is frequent, yet persistent spasms lasting over a week warrant attention. Stress, fatigue, excessive caffeine - all potential triggers. Combat it through adequate rest, stress reduction, and caffeine moderation. Persisting twitches or vision changes necessitate consulting an eye doctor.

I am 15 years old and a few days my eyes color change in to red colour from 14 days and also some pain
Male | 15
There can be various reasons why eyes get red. One of them is allergies but also due to an infection or because they’re dry. In addition, if we stare at screens for too long our eyes may become sore and pinkish. Use some artificial tears and take frequent breaks from your electronic devices. If these symptoms persist then visit an eye specialist.
