The cells in your eye that are needed to see get damaged, and then, as a result, vision problems occur. You might experience dim light vision, side vision loss, and difficulty seeing at night. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this condition yet, but special tools such as glasses and devices can help you cope with the vision changes. Do not forget to go to an eye doctor every time to check your eye condition.

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.

Female | 25

You may have a dry eye for various reasons such as long periods spent looking at screens, use of contact lenses for too long, or being in dry air environments. At times, the drops alone might not be sufficient for you. It is imperative to have a complete check-up with an eye doctor to rule out the possibility of the problem being treated with a different method.

Female | 23

Being overweight can sometimes result in vision problems, particularly if it causes a condition known as diabetic retinopathy. The symptoms may include seeing floaters, blurriness, or having trouble seeing at night. Shedding pounds and stabilizing blood sugar levels can assist in rectifying such vision problems.

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.

Why my eyes are red and feeling weak and pain in all over body

Male | 21

You probably have the flu, a virus that spreads easily. Flu makes your eyes red and irritated. It causes weakness and body aches too. These comes from your immune system fighting the virus. Get lots of rest, drink fluids, and take pain meds. That can help you feel better soon.

Eye twitches can happen for different reasons. Stress, fatigue, and too much caffeine can cause this issue. To find relief, try relaxing, getting proper sleep, and limiting caffeine intake. Additionally, eye strain may contribute to twitching. Taking breaks from screens and using warm compresses could help. However, if the twitching persists or becomes bothersome, it's recommended to consult an eye doctor.

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.

Hello, I'm 16 years old. Since yesterday at 12 PM Spanish time, I've been experiencing small spasms in my lower left eyelid. They feel like muscle contractions, usually sudden and occurring every 20 seconds, with about 10 to 15 contractions per spasm. I don't think there's any underlying issue as I don't have sleep problems, stress, haven't consumed caffeine or alcohol, and I don't feel tired. I would greatly appreciate the help; it's not painful but very annoying.

Male | 16

These spasms might happen because of stress, tiredness, or too much time spent staring at screens. Ensure that you rest your eyes, get enough sleep, and try massaging gently to relieve tension from the muscles around them. If they persist or get worse then it would be wise to talk with an eye specialist for more advice.

My son's eyes are red and Very tearful

Male | 5

Your kid's eyes seem irritated, with redness and excessive tearing. This could indicate pink eye, often caused by viral or bacterial infections. To provide relief, gently cleanse his eyes using warm water, applying cool damp cloth compresses. Encourage frequent handwashing too. However, if symptoms persist, visit an eye specialist.

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.

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.
