My eye I woke up and and try looking at my light bulbs and I saw something like rainbow color’s around it and also my eye ball is red since morning

Male | 16

You are experiencing an ailment called eye strain. Nowadays, it is common for people to experience problems with their eyesight. When your eyes are overworked they might be showing kaleidoscope colors or red. This is possible when the eyes are staring at light bulbs for too long. To help, rest your eyes by looking away from screens and lights. Eye drops or glasses may also be useful.

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.

hi. I have a question if there is any treatment for eye stroke. This happened on 11/12/2023. Now they have regained their vision, but not completely, but especially in the middle of the eye, and I have a report and pictures of the eye. Thank you very much.

Male | 48

Eye strokes occur when blood vessels supplying the eye get blocked. Vision loss is the result. Regaining some sight is positive progress, good news indeed. To potentially improve vision further, an eye specialist appointment seems wise. They can suggest treatments, like eye exercises or medicine, that might help restore more eyesight. Diligent follow-up care with the eye doctor becomes crucial moving forward.

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.

I am speaking from Bangladesh. I got glass in my eye in a car accident. After medical treatment, an operation was performed and the eye was stitched. And was using some drops. Such as drepaid drop, mycin drop etc. After doing these the eyes were improving. Suddenly one day after sleeping at night I woke up in the morning. I see blurry eyes. Very blurry. And there are some white spots inside the eyes. What is the problem and treatment?

Male | 26

You may be having a problem called corneal ulcer. This may be the case if there is an infection or an injury of the cornea, which is the outermost layer of the eye and is transparent. Blurry vision and white spots are the typical symptoms. It's important to see your eye doctor for proper treatment, which may include antibiotics or other medications.

Male | 19

Axenfeld loop is when there is a tiny dark spot on the white part of your eye, and it can be like having something in your eye. Besides this, other factors such as eye strain or irritation could also be sources of this. To cope with the discomfort, artificial tears can be applied to your eyes. Don't rub your eyes. If the symptoms are still there or worsen, it's better to go to an eye doctor for further examination and treatment.

For the last three days my eyes are itching a lot and have become a little red too.

Female | 19

You might have eye allergies. Itchy, red, watery eyes often mean allergens like dust, pollen, or pet dander irritating them. Over-the-counter eye drops can help soothe the discomfort. Don't rub your eyes. Wash hands often and keep living spaces clean to reduce allergens. If symptoms persist, consult an eye care professional.

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.

can you take mdma after having lasik eye surgery

Female | 20

Using MDMA after LASIK is risky because it can cause high eye pressure, blurred vision, and light sensitivity, which are all hazardous for your healing post-operative eyes. Therefore it is critical to shield them during this time and abstain from substances like ecstasy that might hurt them.

Eye pressure 19/21 in eyes

Your eyes may feel pressure higher than usual. Sometimes, no issues occur, but it could cause blurry vision, headaches, or eye pain. High-pressure results from fluid not draining properly. An eye doctor may prescribe eye drops, which help lower the pressure and protect your sight.

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.

I have myopia, I wanna go glassfree

Female | 24

Based on the symptoms you are telling, your diagnosis is myopia which means you cannot see things at a distance. Myopia develops due to a phenomenon where the eyeball becomes longer or the cornea is more curved. This is due to the light focusing in front of the retina instead of directly on it. One alternative to lenses that you may want to try is contact lenses or corrective surgery. These methods enable you to see better without wearing spectacles. However, it is important to consult an ophthalmologist for a suitable treatment.

Salam alikoum je présente une cécité de mon œil gauche suite à une chirurgie de la cataracte ancienne de cinq ans depuis son apparition après un traitement adéquat mais sans résultat mon œil est presque abîmé suite à un décollement de rétine et de la choroïde est ce qu'il y a un Espoir pour mon œil chez-vous et Merci d' avance

Femelle | 57

My suggestion is that you get an appointment with an ophthalmologist to have a look at the condition of your left eye. Complications do occur in a cataract surgery, though this procedure is very popular. The retina and choroid can detach from each other, and then cause permanent vision loss.

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.

A squint, which is also known as strabismus, in ten-year-old kids may be corrected without surgery in some cases if it is diagnosed at the very early age. Symptoms may be that one eye is constantly moving in or out. The causes are muscle imbalance or eye muscle weakness.

The reports are mainly traumatic nerve neuropathy and now my left side eye is not visible and I do not have any symptoms like vomiting, headaches, or pain in my left side eye. is there any chance of recovering my vision back?

Male | 24

A bone fracture on the left side of the face can seriously affect the vision of the eye. The traumatic nerve neuropathy may have caused damage to the optic nerve, which could be causing the loss of vision. Talk to an ophthalmologist after evaluating the condition only it will be possible say anything about treatment options to regain your vision.

Hi ..I am forty-eight years old... Can I have LASIK to correct my vision... ??

Male | 48

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.

Eye irritation went to sleep with my mascara on now my eyes are irritated

Female | 29

You should know that the eye irritation you woke up with, and your mascara particles could have been the cause. Mascara particles probably got into your eye while you were asleep. This might result in redness, itching, or even the feeling that a foreign body is sitting in the eye. You can treat your irritated eyes by getting all your makeup off and washing your face before sleeping. If these steps do not work then definitely seek the help of an ophthalmologist.
