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.

It appears as if you might be having allergy-related conjunctivitis, a problem that occurs often in dry seasons. First, I suggest seeing an ophthalmologist who is an expert in all eye conditions.

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!

Sir unfortunatly I droped atropine eye drops in my eyes , now 2days went but I can't see properly beacuse of eyedrop

Male | 18

Atropine eye drops are used for specific eye conditions, but if they get into your eyes accidentally, you may experience blurred vision or other issues because atropine can over-dilate your pupils. This should return to normal as your eyes recover. Just wait a little, and if your vision doesn't clear up, you should see an eye specialist.

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 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?

Female | 13

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.

I have pain in my right eye in the right corner and it seems to be painful and When I move it and blink it hurts also if I press on it it is abit painful. I have had it for 1 to 2 days.

Male | 15

According to your description, you may experience eye strain. Overworked eyes are the main reason for this and they may cause discomfort. The most common symptoms are the sensation of pain in the right eye, especially when you move or blink. This can happen if you stare at the screens or read too long. To solve this, take breaks from screens, use warm compresses and rest your eyes. If it doesn't get better, go to an eye doctor.

I dont see blury or have double vision, I just refrain from looking upwards of faw away because I feel instantly dizzy. No medical history, no drugs. Can you please give me an insight as to what is happening;

Female | 30

Vertical heterophoria might be the reason for your dizziness and the heavy feeling around your eyes. It’s a misalignment issue that doesn’t cause blurred or double vision. To fix it, visit an eye doctor who can provide you with special prism eyeglasses. These glasses realign your eyes and relieve the symptoms.

I need optic nerve atrophy treatment

Reduced optic nerve activity can show itself through the symptoms of inability to see the sharp image, obvious zone, or inability to see in the darkness. Several different reasons can be behind this condition, such as injury, specific diseases like glaucoma, or insufficient blood flow. The treatment approach often involves targeting the very problem at the source. It’s necessary to have an eye specialist carry out a thorough examination so that the best course of action can be determined. Therapies, or the adjustment of a lifestyle, may be recommended by them to get the best visual acuity and comfort. Call for professional help to discuss your choices and learn it’s better to handle eye problems at the onset.

Male | 23

Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, may be causing your eye issue. Redness and itchiness are symptoms of this condition. A viral or bacterial infection likely triggers it. Applying cool compresses to your eye can provide relief. Avoid touching or rubbing the affected area. Over-the-counter eye drops may also help alleviate discomfort. Frequent handwashing is crucial to prevent spreading the infection to others.

Male | 65

If nerve damage is present and surgery isn't viable, exploring other treatments is essential. Consider seeking a consultation with an ophthalmologist specializing in low-vision rehabilitation, as they can provide strategies or devices to improve his quality of life. Regular visual assessments may help identify any changes or alternative therapies. Lifestyle adjustments such as a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and managing underlying conditions may also support overall eye health.

I 28 years old. I have under gone Lasik eye surgery in Narayana Netralaya in 2019. But one of the eye didn't improve any eye sight...I went to them but they said the Par has removed and the number of both the eyes is zero.. but one eye I can't read and get blurred vision... Is there any way or is it necessary to undergo another surgery....please help me out in this issue

Male | 28

This is alarming because even in one of your eyes you still face an issue with clarity of vision after Lasik surgery. It is recommended that one consult an eye consultant doctor who conducts a full eye inspection. They take note of unique factors that cause blurred vision; these may be refractive errors or an underlying condition. This depends on what is found in the latter part of these surgical procedures so it may entail additional surgery if the findings are unfavorable, but proper professional assessment by an eye specialist would be better.
