The symptoms you are experiencing, may or may not be linked to the dosage of sertraline. It is better to consult with a eye doctor for proper evaluation

Hello Mr. Vipin Agarwal. I am really sorry to hear about your problem. It is a common practice to say, "You're getting better, slowly however, a key investigation may be required." Based on your symptoms, it is evident that there might have been some error. Problems like white clouds, black spots, up-down visibility, etc. are not normal. Probable reasons for this include surgical error or corneal deformity. Initially, conduct a blood test and an eye check to get the full picture. Then, suitable treatment can be carried out. See an eye specialist for consultations. Stay healthy.

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.

It's understandable to be concerned after your brother's eye procedures. The hazy vision he's experiencing can sometimes occur after lens surgery, especially with recent interventions. Since it’s normal to have some discomfort post-operation, it’s important to monitor his symptoms. If there are no signs of infection, the eye should heal well. The follow-up appointment will determine if the new lens will help restore his vision. Encourage him to maintain open communication with his eye specialist for the best guidance and reassurance.

Aapke bhai ki aankh mein jo takleef hai woh samajh sakta hoon. Jis tareeqe se operation hua hai, kuch waqt lag sakta hai aankhon ke theek hone mein. Dhoondh la nazar aana aksar thoda time leta hai, lekin naye lenses dalne se dekhnay ki salahiyat behtar ho sakti hai. Yeh zaroori hai ke aap doctor se follow-up karne jayein, taake wo puri tarah se jaanch lein aur koi aur advice de sakain. Aapke bhai ko behtar mehsoos karne mein yeh madadgar hoga.

Male | 25

Yes, eye pain can be a sign of TB infection if your eyes are infected with it. TB can infect the eyes which in turn can lead to various health problems. Typical symptoms are the presence of eye pain, redness, and blurry vision. The medication for TB treatment should be followed strictly as prescribed by your doctor. Also, it is recommended to have regular check-ups to track your progress.

My maid is having cataract her doctor told her that it is on the verge of rupture..she is unable to pay for the operation. Is it possible to get her operated without much charges?

Female | 40

The reason behind may have been the presence of clouded vision, night time blackout, and light sensitivity. In a person's life, cataracts appear when the eye gets a cloudy lens due to age or specific health issues. To have the problem rectified, the maid should be fully followed up with a health care provider, it would serve as an interference to have avoidable ruptures or another form of complication. Significant discounts or financial aid programs are also available for those in need of medical services in many clinics or hospitals. It is a good idea for her to reach out to the local health facilities and the help of charity groups.

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.

Hello I am looking for a treatment for an eye whose nerves have stopped functioning.

Male | 60

You might be affected by a disorder of the eye, where the nervous cells in the eye are not working properly. This may be due to aging, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Nevertheless, it also might be that a person exhibits signs of blurred, partial, or total vision loss. Treatments for that might include taking special eye drops or doing procedures that will be put in place to protect your nerve endings that are situated in the eye. Your optometrist can prescribe eye drops or other medications to improve your vision.
