Has the red eye problem been prevalent since the last summer? Or was it there last summer but went away and returned this year again?
If the answer to my former question is yes, then you need to show your son to a doctor as soon as possible. But, if the answer to my latter question is yes, while that to the first question is no, then there are some things that you can still consider.
Red eye isn't necessarily a serious matter, but if your son matches any of the criteria mentioned below, then it might be cause of worry:
- Symptoms last longer than 1 week
- changes in the vision of your son's eyes
- pain in your son's eyes
- your son's eye has become sensitive to light
- discharge from either or both eyes of your son
- your son is on blood thinning medications, such as heparin or warfarin
- your son is having a headache and have blurry vision
- your son ends up seeing white rings, or halos, around lights
- your son is having nausea and/or vomiting
If your son's condition is serious, then we advice you to visit our page - Ent/ Otorhinolaryngologists in India, and get in touch with experts who will provide guidance. Do reach out to us anytime you feel confused

I have specs . My vision in right eye is 6/12 and in left eye is 6/6 . I have been wearing specs for 1 year, and now I have a doubt about it . Should I wear my specs full time ? Or should I wear them while reading, writing or using phone and TV? If I use my specs full time with a minor problem like this ( I think so) will it lead to a condition where I can't see anything without specs? This has been a concern for about a week now . Please help me with this.

Male | 16

According to your vision prescription, wearing spectacles every single day is the way to go. It enables your eyes to coordinate better and reduces the possibility of strain, which is particularly important when doing activities such as reading, writing, or using screens. The spectacle usage regularly you wear wouldn't make your eyesight worsen; it only allows you to see better. If you have any new symptoms or concerns, like headaches or blurry vision, reach out to an eye specialist.

Right side eye not visible blur

Male | 66

Some reasons for this include having an infection in one’s eye(s), getting hurt somehow or trouble with the blood vessels within them. While these may serve as signs indicating when things such as these are happening:

If you’re in pain then your eyes could be affected
Redness around the affected part could show a problem also exists there.
Being sensitive to light may be another issue altogether.

Please visit an eye doctor for further treatment.

Female | 23

Your blurry vision is a symptom of uveitis relapse. Uveitis is the swelling of the eye's interior that leads to vision blurring, eye ache, and light sensitivity. Make an appointment with your eye specialist to restart the procedure and prevent further complications.

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 am a 13-year-old girl, and one of my eyelids is drooping. This happened a few months ago and I thought it would change but it isn't. One eyelid is slightly droopier than the other. I'm not sure if it's Ptosis, but if so, what can I do to get it fixed whenever I look up one eye bends, and the other has a monolid. This also makes me unsymmetrical. My eyelid used to be the same, what can I do to fix this?

Female | 13

It is possible that you have ptosis, which is a drooping of the eyelid. It is important to see an ophthalmologist to accurately diagnose the condition and determine the most appropriate treatment.

Hello, I'm 16 years old. Since yesterday at 12 PM Spanish time, I've been experiencing small spasms in my lower left eyelid. They feel like muscle contractions, usually sudden and occurring every 20 seconds, with about 10 to 15 contractions per spasm. I don't think there's any underlying issue as I don't have sleep problems, stress, haven't consumed caffeine or alcohol, and I don't feel tired. I would greatly appreciate the help; it's not painful but very annoying.

Male | 16

These spasms might happen because of stress, tiredness, or too much time spent staring at screens. Ensure that you rest your eyes, get enough sleep, and try massaging gently to relieve tension from the muscles around them. If they persist or get worse then it would be wise to talk with an eye specialist for more advice.

This issue is called myopia. It occurs when your eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved. However, wearing glasses with the right treatment helps correct this. You need regular eye exams to check your vision.
