Why does my eye swell after gym workouts?
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.

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.

My right eye have been twitching over a week now
Female | 19
Eye twitching is frequent, yet persistent spasms lasting over a week warrant attention. Stress, fatigue, excessive caffeine - all potential triggers. Combat it through adequate rest, stress reduction, and caffeine moderation. Persisting twitches or vision changes necessitate consulting an eye doctor.

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.

While working, a liquid splashed into my eye. I am unsure of whether it was water or liquid bowel movement. I have no pain or discomfort in my eyes. Is there any need to worry at this time?
Female | 23
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.

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.

i have eye twitching from more than a week now and my eye size is reduced left upper eye lid
Female | 17
It sounds like you're having eye twitching and a smaller left upper eyelid. Eye twitching can happen due to stress, tiredness, or too much caffeine. A smaller eyelid might be a condition called ptosis. It can be caused by muscle weakness or nerve problems. Make sure to rest, reduce stress, and see an eye specialist for a proper diagnosis 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.

Regarding eye operation as the visual is not slightly visible
Female | 75
If your vision is getting a little foggy, it could be due to several reasons. If you’ve been squinting to see things clearly, it might be cataracts. Cataracts are like a cloudy film that forms over the eye's lens, making everything appear blurry. The good news is that cataract surgery is a common and effective solution to restore clear vision. In this simple procedure, the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear one, allowing you to see better and sharper. If you're having trouble seeing clearly, it’s best to visit an eye doctor to discuss your options.

For the last three days my eyes are itching a lot and have become a little red too.
Female | 19
You might have eye allergies. Itchy, red, watery eyes often mean allergens like dust, pollen, or pet dander irritating them. Over-the-counter eye drops can help soothe the discomfort. Don't rub your eyes. Wash hands often and keep living spaces clean to reduce allergens. If symptoms persist, consult an eye care professional.
