Being overweight can sometimes result in vision problems, particularly if it causes a condition known as diabetic retinopathy. The symptoms may include seeing floaters, blurriness, or having trouble seeing at night. Shedding pounds and stabilizing blood sugar levels can assist in rectifying such vision problems.

Can a Squint be Corrected in 10 year old, without surgery ?

Female | 10

A squint, which is also known as strabismus, in ten-year-old kids may be corrected without surgery in some cases if it is diagnosed at the very early age. Symptoms may be that one eye is constantly moving in or out. The causes are muscle imbalance or eye muscle weakness. The treatments can include eye exercises, wearing a patch, or the use of glasses to help focus. It is important that the progress is being controlled by having regular eye examinations.

i am 23 year old and my eye turned red yesterday and it is itching too

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.

When I work out at the gym, my eye starts to swell after the workout. I consulted an eye specialist, who said it’s an allergy. However, when I jog or walk outside, nothing happens. In the gym, if I lift weights, even light ones, my eye starts to swell later. When I do floor exercises like push-ups, I feel like there's a foreign object in my eye, causing a twitching sensation. This only happens with exercises that involve pressure.looking like muscle weakness.It also happens after swimming. This issue never occurred before, and I’ve been doing these activities for the past four years without any problems. I have consulted various doctors and spent a lot of money, but I have not found a solution.

You might be having allergic reactions triggered by your exercise. When you do certain workouts at the gym, like lifting weights or floor exercises, your eye swells up. This could be due to allergens at the gym or materials from the equipment. It's good that outdoor activities don't cause this problem. To prevent the symptoms, try wearing protective eyewear (goggles) at the gym or using antihistamine eye drops before you work out. It's a good idea to consult with an allergist for a complete evaluation and management plan.

I am 13 year old , I have problem on eye down infection

Male | 13

It seems that you could develop a disease known as “lower eye infection”. Symptoms may feature including redness, swelling, and discharge from the eye. It is usually the case that bacteria get to the eye when it fails to respond well. For the infection, clean the eye with warm water and then, if your doctor prescribes them, use antibiotic eye drops. Always wash those hands so viruses stay away and do not spread the infection.
