Why sudden floaters and eye pain with normal eyes recently?
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 on 25th Sept '24
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.

My grandmother mistaken taken vapocap as eye drop in her eyes last night what to do ,is her vision is at risk?
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.

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.

I had an accident a month ago in which I had a bone fracture on the left side face. 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.

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.

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.

The thing is that my father had a cataract surgery 9 days ago but as normal patient his eyesight hasn't come yet. He is facing blurriness or cloudiness and not able to see things properly. Kindly guide me by giving the best suggestion from your side.
Male | 56
The cloudy or blurry vision is one of the normal things to experience during the first few days after cataract surgery. Yet, as the condition has lasted more than a week, you are advised to see your ophthalmologist. In this situation, your father can ask these eye doctors who previously did his cataract for a close examination and treatment.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Female | 25
You should visit an Ophthalmologist right away. One of the signs that may suggest right eye swelling every morning is an infection, allergy, or underlying medical condition. The underlying cause of your symptoms will be diagnosed and treated by an Ophthalmologist.

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.

Please could you recommend a viable medication for chalezia. I would be extremely grateful
Male | 32
The oil gland in the eyelid is blocked leads to chalazion. A small bump might appear and then edema or tenderness might occur. Generally, warm compresses are effective in curing it. If not, an eye doctor may recommend antibiotic eye drops or ointment.
