I have got retinal gas treatment before 7 weeks, now is that possible to use air transport as of tomorrow?

Male | 50

You might notice changes in air pressure while flying after such a procedure. This could be uncomfortable or slow down the healing process. So, it’s better to postpone your trip until your eyes fully recover from surgery.

I'm suffering from fever and I have huge pain in my eyes

Female | 20

It seems you have pink eye, a type of eye infection. Your eyes hurt and have a fever. This sickness happens when germs infect the white part of your eyes. Germs like bacteria or viruses cause it. Warm towels on your eyes and keeping them clean helps. Don't touch your eyes too much. See an eye doctor if it doesn't get better.

Blur vision due to shrunken optic nerve

Female | 46

If your optic nerve becomes smaller, it may lead to unclear eyesight. This happens when the nerve is injured or squeezed. You might have difficulty seeing things sharply or lose your peripheral vision. It is necessary to determine the reason behind this atrophy. It is important to consult a neurologist or an ophthalmologist as soon as possible to diagnose and treat the underlying cause.

What can I do if my eyes gets red

Other | 25

Red eyes are common and can happen for many reasons, like a stuffy nose, dust, tiredness, or chlorine. Sometimes, conditions like arrhythmia or long periods of staring at screens can also cause red eyes. To help, you can use artificial tears to keep your eyes moist. If your eyes still feel irritated, taking a break and resting them is a good idea.

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.

Male | 15

There can be various reasons why eyes get red. One of them is allergies but also due to an infection or because they’re dry. In addition, if we stare at screens for too long our eyes may become sore and pinkish. Use some artificial tears and take frequent breaks from your electronic devices. If these symptoms persist then visit an eye specialist.

You may have a dry eye for various reasons such as long periods spent looking at screens, use of contact lenses for too long, or being in dry air environments. At times, the drops alone might not be sufficient for you. It is imperative to have a complete check-up with an eye doctor to rule out the possibility of the problem being treated with a different method.

I had an eye stroke on the 11th December and they told me that I have a died vein in my eye and there is a blood stuck in the vein that won't move, I was wondering if you guys have any treatments instead of medicines because in the uk they only prescribe me medications and not medical treatments like operations etc i need urgent help and please do reply if you have anything to help me .

Male | 48

Eye strokes are bad. A blood clot blocks a vein in your eye. This causes blurry vision, pain, and flashes of light. High blood pressure or diabetes can cause clots. Surgery might not help, but laser therapy or injections may restore blood flow. It's crucial to see an eye doctor regularly. They'll recommend the best 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 | 20

Blurry eyesight can happen for different reasons. It could be from looking at computers for too long, or it could mean our eyes need more tears. We feel better when we use some eye drops. Blurry eyes could also mean bigger problems like diabetes. Diabetes makes sugar levels change in our bodies, which can affect our eyesight. Headaches called migraines can make vision blurry too. If your eyes stay blurry, you should see an eye specialist.

I’m a 28 years old female..I’m having right side temple pain and eye pain for about a month..not much severe..a dull ache..I get it everyday but not every time…I’m a shortsighted person also..could it be due to my sight problem??or any other serious condition??

Female | 28

If you are experiencing pain in the eyes and temples it might be related to your vision. On another note, nearsightedness can make your eyes work extra hard which causes discomforts such as these. However we should also consider more serious possibilities. Additionally, staring at screens or books too long without enough breaks; not sleeping well due to various reasons including stress could lead onto them pains too therefore among other things try adequate rest combined with good lighting for relief. Consult an eye specialist if they persist or get worse.

Tears keep eyes lubricated and moist. Sometimes, eyes don't make enough tears. This condition is called dry eye. You may experience feeling gritty objects in your eyes, or your vision becomes blurry. Causes include aging, prolonged screen usage, and certain medications. Helpful remedies: use artificial tear drops; take breaks from digital devices. But if symptoms persist, consult an eye specialist for further evaluation and management.

Low vision and a narrow optic nerve are hard to deal with. These problems could be causing the eye pain and headaches you’re having. Glaucoma or damage to the optic nerve can sometimes lead to such symptoms. Therefore you need to visit an ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

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.
