Why sudden floaters and eye pain with normal eyes recently?

Patient's Query

I am suddenly seeing floaters in my vision and a little pain in the back of the eye, especially the left one. Eyes were perfectly normal around 2 weeks ago. I am not seeing any flashes of light or distorted vision, it is just fast moving floaters. I didn't do anything that would cause injury to my eyes. What it could be?

Answered by Dr. Sumeet Agrawal

You may be suffering from posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). The reason for this is when the gel-like structure in your eye gradually departs from the retina thus causing floaters. The aching in the back of your eye could be the result of a process that is abrasive to the area. The good news is that PVD often gets better on its own. However, you need to see an eye doctor to confirm there are no complications.

चश्मा का नम्बर 1.25 है क्या मे इसे कम कर सकता हूं

Male | 14

Prescription number 1.25 is normal and should not be feared in any way for serious. Blurred vision, headache, or fatigue in the eyes are some of the symptoms that might be seen. Many factors can be behind this such as aging, genetics, or lifestyle. Regular eye examination is very important for improving vision. Kindly talk to an ophthalmologist and discuss the most appropriate options, for example, the correct lens or another option. Remember, professional advice is best for your health.

Female | 75

Sometimes, VapoCap can get in the eyes accidentally. This causes eye irritation, redness, and discomfort. The eyes may produce more tears than normal. To treat this, gently rinse the eyes with cool water for about 15 minutes. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's wise to visit an eye doctor for a checkup.

Iam 27 year i have cataract problem of 2 year

Male | 27

Cataracts are eye conditions that cause cloudy vision, making it hard to see clearly. People with cataracts may notice that objects appear blurry, colors are less vibrant, and vision at night is more challenging. Cataracts typically develop when the lens in your eye becomes cloudy, often due to aging or other health issues. The most effective treatment is surgery, where the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial one.

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.

Hi Doctor My wife is pregnant and having a pimple inside the eye lid. And eyes became painfully and red Watery

Female | 33

Your spouse may be suffering from what is called a stye, a pimple-like bulge on the eyelid. When oil glands are blocked, styes occur; they can be painful causing redness and watery eyes. To relieve the pain, apply warm compresses to the eye several times a day. Avoid rubbing your eyes. If the stye does not get any better or worsens, it would probably be a good time to consult with an eye specialist.

Female | 33

Blurred vision in one eye may stem from various causes, including eye strain, dry eyes, or more serious conditions like migraines or retinal issues. It’s essential to monitor any additional symptoms such as pain or sudden changes. To alleviate discomfort, ensure you're resting your eyes, staying hydrated, and using lubricating eye drops if needed. However, it's crucial to consult a ophthalmologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored guidance. They can determine the underlying issue and recommend the best course of action to restore your vision.

What are the symptoms one can experience if they have Eye Cancer? Are they noticeable or do they go unnoticed?

Eye cancer does not always cause obvious symptoms and may only be picked up during a routine eye test. Some of the common symptoms of eye cancer are:

Shadows
Flashes of light
Blurred vision
Dark patch in eye that's getting bigger
Partial or total loss of vision
Bulging of 1 eye
A lump on eyelid or in eye that's increasing in size
Pain in or around eye, others.

The above mentioned symptoms can also be caused by more minor eye conditions, so they're not necessarily a sign of cancer. Consult an ophthalmologist. Hope our answer helps you.

Drop of alcohol got into my husband's eye washed it but he has some discomfort what to do

Male | 56

Your husband got alcohol in his eye by mistake. Irritation often happens then. Alcohol bothers eyes, making them sting, redden, and water. First, rinse his eye with cool water for around fifteen minutes. Have him blink repeatedly to flush it out thoroughly. If discomfort remains, try over-the-counter artificial tear drops to soothe irritation. However, if discomfort persists despite these measures, visit an eye doctor.

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.

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.

Hello i am 14 years old and i constantly see lightning in the corner of my eye?? im super stressed and i overreact easily

Male | 14

Seeing flashes of light or "lightning" in your peripheral vision can sometimes be a symptom of an eye related issue. However, stress and anxiety can also cause visual disturbances, including perceived flashes of light. Meantime it may be helpful to practice stress management techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness or meditation. If this also doesn't help then visit an eye specialist to get it checked.

I have experienced shaky vision in the top as well the left corner of my left eye. This has happened 4 times so far in a span of 6 months. the most recent being yesterday (11/18/2023). it starts of with a dark/ blind spot in the centre of my eye/ vision so I can see like the peripheries of stuff but not the middle. Kind of like when you stare at the sun or a bulb then you get a dark spot in your vision for a bit. this then transitions into shaky vision in the top and left hand corner of my left eye only. the best way I can describe it is like when you look at the ground on a hot day or the sand in a desert when heat is rising so things look all wavy. that's what it looks like. then this lasts for 10-15 minutes then it goes away. please note that I never have headaches or migraines ever during these episodes. do you have an idea of what this could be?

Female | 26

BASED ON your SYMPTOMS, it's possible that you are experiencing OCULAR MIGRAINES...However, it's IMPORTANT to consult an EYE DOCTOR for a proper DIAGNOSIS and TREATMENT PLAN...Ocular migraines are not HARMFUL, but ruling out other causes is CRUCIAL...
