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.

Male | 19

Axenfeld loop is when there is a tiny dark spot on the white part of your eye, and it can be like having something in your eye. Besides this, other factors such as eye strain or irritation could also be sources of this. To cope with the discomfort, artificial tears can be applied to your eyes. Don't rub your eyes. If the symptoms are still there or worsen, it's better to go to an eye doctor for further examination and treatment.

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 | 43

This could be a case of eye strain caused by the computer and prolonged use of it. This can lead to symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches, and the inability to focus. The causal factor is usually the long screen time. To help, try taking breaks, adjusting your screen settings, and making sure to wear your glasses as prescribed. If the situation continues, it is better to consult an eye doctor for more examinations.

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.

My problem is I have eye pain for months and also severe headache few days ago I was vomiting and my eye power also changes a lot now my doctor told me to not wear glasses anymore and few months ago doctor also ask me my pressure is high if its gets more high I may get glaucoma

Male | 22

Severe headaches, vomiting, eye pain, and vision changes sound like trouble. Could mean glaucoma, an issue when pressure builds inside your eyes. Untreated, this can damage sight. Don't wait—see an eye doctor immediately. They'll provide treatment to safeguard your vision.

You might have a problem looking at distant objects which may indicate myopia (nearsightedness). Do not forget to visit an ophthalmologist who will carry out a full eye examination to know the reason behind your vision problems and to receive the correct treatment.

Hello, I would like to ask does masturbation cause glaucoma or blindness?

Female | 35

Masturbation has nothing to do with glaucoma or blindness. The eye pressure causing some visual disturbance is glaucoma. One of the most common activities in human life is masturbation, in which people do not harm their health. If this is the case for you, if you notice hazy vision or experience eye pain, go to your eye doctor for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Low vision Thin optic nerve Eye pain headache

Male | 20

The reason you’re not able to see well may be that your optic nerve is thin. This could result in things appearing fuzzy or being hard to see. People with this issue might also feel pain around their eyes and get frequent headaches. Book an appointment with an eye specialist soon enough.

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!

I have zigzag blur vision for one hour it comes sudden and goes away less than one hour. It started from my schooling.

Female | 28

Ocular migraine may affect you, causing zigzag lines or blurry vision for an hour. It appears suddenly, that then vanishes alone. Stress, poor sleep, or certain foods trigger this type of migraine. To prevent ocular migraines, manage stress, sleep enough, and keep a food diary to spot triggers. If episodes persist or worsen, discuss them with an eye doctor.

I have eye problems like retina detached anything to do about it there? Because I want to travel

Male | 56

Are you seeing floaters, flashes, or a curtain across your vision? This may mean retinal detachment, where the retina separates from the eye. Aging and injuries can cause detachment, which harms sight if untreated. Surgery reattaches the retina, preventing permanent blindness. Visit an eye specialist.

I am 18 year old and i am male ho sakta hay 13 years ago I had an operation on my eye then you were fine but now you are suffering from squint the squint is increasing slowly I contacted the nearest doctor but he told me that you have had an operation so you Even if we fix it on the squint but it will not be correct because your vision is very low and the other eye can see fine so can you suggest me that this problem can be solved

Male | 18

A squint, or strabismus, is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned, often due to weak eye muscles or vision issues. In your case, however, the squint may not improve the low vision in the operated eye. Fortunately, there are several treatment options available to enhance the eye's appearance. You can discuss options with your eye doctor, such as wearing glasses, doing eye exercises, or considering additional surgery if suitable.

She has a eye pressure rate 26-27

Female | 15

An eye pressure between 26-27 is a bit higher than the normal. This can be the first indicator of a disorder named glaucoma. Nevertheless, these signs may be related to decreased vision, eye pain, or no symptoms. Excessive eye pressure is the cause of visual impairment; therefore, an eye examination is essential. The course of action generally includes using eye drops or surgery to reduce pressure levels and keep your sight safe.
