I have low vision and thin optic nerve Eye pain and headache

Male | Shivam Sharma

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.

It seems like you are suffering from a sinus infection, which is why you have a stuffy nose, a headache, and sore eyes. Sinus infections are primarily caused by viruses. You can use steam inhalation to help clear your sinuses, drink plenty of fluids, get some rest, and take over-the-counter pain relievers for relief, too. If your symptoms get worse or don't improve, you should see an eye specialist.

I have myopia, I wanna go glassfree

Female | 24

Based on the symptoms you are telling, your diagnosis is myopia which means you cannot see things at a distance. Myopia develops due to a phenomenon where the eyeball becomes longer or the cornea is more curved. This is due to the light focusing in front of the retina instead of directly on it. One alternative to lenses that you may want to try is contact lenses or corrective surgery. These methods enable you to see better without wearing spectacles. However, it is important to consult an ophthalmologist for a suitable treatment.

I m using steroid eye drops since one year… can be at risk of cataract or glaucoma

Female | 32

Long-term usage of steroid eye drops, like a year, can be risky. It may lead to cataracts or glaucoma. Cataracts cause cloudy vision. Glaucoma can result in eye pain and vision loss. To prevent these problems, regular check-ups with your eye doctor are essential.

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!

Male | 19

There have been a lot of changes in your eyes over the past few years. Being nearsighted is having a power of -4, which can occur when the eyeball is too long. When trying to see things that are far away, this may lead to cloudy vision. If you’re wondering if it’s right for you at this moment, consult an eye surgeon about LASIK surgery. Before deciding on anything, they must perform a thorough examination of your eyes so they know what’s changed.

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 am a 17 years old female who has had a lazy left eye for the past year and 9 months which I believe is called strambius

Female | 17

You might have a lazy left eye, which is also called strabismus. This is caused by the fact that the eye muscles do not function as they should. Sometimes, they can also lead to symptoms such as double vision or your eyes not looking in the same direction. Don't worry, there are treatments available, like special glasses, eye exercises, or even surgery, to help improve your condition.

The other eye is looking reddish too. What can it be? Do i need to go to hospital asap to not leave any risk of permanent damage? Or can i wait till morning? Please

Male | 20

You might have conjunctivitis (AKA pink eye) if you’re seeing yellow. This condition can make your eyes swell up, get itchy, and turn red. The best thing you can do is to see an eye specialist immediately so that they can give you proper treatment before it gets worse. If not attended to on time, it could lead to more serious complications.

my left eyelid twitches. Both of my eyes are so crusty that all eyelids are covered with a white, dry film like fine table salt (I have been suffering from dry eyes since 2011). I have been suffering from twitching eyes, namely the left eyelid, for almost 3 weeks. Do you recommend a specific ointment? I was about to order this (Terramycin Eye Ointment 3.5 g)

Male | 31

That crusty film on your eyelids could result from dry eye syndrome, leading to the twitch. Terramycin Eye Ointment might help with dryness and irritation, but double-check with your eye doctor before using new meds. Try a warm washcloth compress on your eyes and some OTC artificial tears for relief.

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.

I’m wondering if eyeglasses are needed while my right eye is 20/30 and my left eye is 20/25, but both are 20/20 and my right eye suffers from recurrent corneal erosion.

Male | 27

Both your eyes are mostly fine. A corneal erosion can be dangerous and cause pain and sensitivity to light. Even if you have perfect eyesight, you may need to wear special glasses that will protect your eye from an even greater injury. These glasses can be used to stop more erosions from happening.

Double vision and shaky vision are a sign of many different illnesses, including neurological diseases and conditions with eye muscles.

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.

Eyes pain but its not red or no show something in eys eyes pain on both sides what problem

Male | 25

Eye strain can explain why you have discomfort in both eyes without the presence of any red spots or other things in them. This is commonly the case when you carelessly devote too much time to the display when looking at it or reading. Relieve your eyes by taking breaks, blinking frequently, and using artificial tears. When the pain persists for longer than usual, it shouldn't be a problem to schedule a visit to an ophthalmologist.

Hi… I wanted to do Contuora vision surgery for removing my spectacle . My age is 42 and powers are -5 cylindrical and -1 spherical with 110 and 65 axis. One doctor suggested that with -5 cylindrical power Contoura vision cannot be done and go for Refractive Lens Exchange / clear lens exchange or ICL. I visited another ophthalmologist for second opinion as I don’t want to extract my natural lens ,and he suggested that I can go with Contoura vision for spec removal. Now I am confused . Should I go with CV. At this point i am not interested to extract my natural lens. Looking for some help in this regard from experts. It’s a matter of eyes. I also have reading glass .

Female | 42

CV is a laser procedure to reshape the cornea, while RLE involves replacing the natural lens. ICL is another lens-based option. To make an informed choice, discuss your cornea's suitability for CV, the effectiveness of each procedure for your prescription, and potential risks with your doctors. Seek a third opinion if needed, as your eye health is important.

It's important to rinse your eye with clean water immediately to remove any residue, even if you're not feeling pain or discomfort. Sometimes, even harmless-looking liquids can cause irritation or infection. To be safe, I recommend visiting an eye specialist who can examine your eye properly and give you the right advice.
