[quote author=drsteroid post=27672605]its very much possible if no cornea problem or other pathological cause.artificial tears and anti allergic drugs can help her feel much better and stop the prickling sensation,but she needs visit an eye clinic so that copious irrigation can be done 2 know if there is any fb in her eyes so that it can be removed..after then,drugs can be prescribed to her.[/quote/) Thank you doc.. |

stardragon:there is really no drug that can treat dry eye,but there are drugs that can help increase rate of production of tears and those that helps 2 make the patient comfortable 4rm symptoms of dry eyes..the drugs are available in well known pharmaceutical stores.I wil advise u 2 see an eye doctor so that he can prescribe the right drug combination after comprehensive examination of your eyes and after copious irrigation...tanx |

ChiefTortoise:my brother no amount of sacrifice is too much 4 ur eyes.your eyes are your windows to the world.losing ones sight is just like being a living corpse cos u won't be aware of your environment anymore.I wil advise u 2 see a low vision specialist as soon as possible,since u have been referred to see one. Glasses or drugs doesn't bring about the required improvement in your vision,hence, the need to see a low vision specialist |

U1:the type of myopia u have is degenerative myopia I.e your refractive status keeps changing due to developmental changes in your eys as u grow older.its really not a problem.glasses don't correct vision permanently,they only aid us 2 see well by making sure the image formed is on the retina.involuntary tearing can be as a result of eyestrain and refractive error.in your own case,since u make use of laptop always,u tend 2 tear because of the reduction in number of blinks u make due to constant focusing on the laptop while working with it. Anti reflection lenses helps to protect the eyes against rays 4rm laptops and computers,its really gud if u can get one 4rm an eye clinic since UV rays have been implicated as one of the causes of cataract...tanx |

drsteroid: Thanks so much. If I may ask, is there any remedy for this so-called degenerative myopia? Or is it a case of newer glass prescriptions every now and then? Also, any idea of what the anti-reflection glasses go for, cost wise? Thanks. |

Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by drsteroid(m): 1:36am On Nov 04, 2014 |
stardragon:yes! Artificial tears has little or no side effect..it has d same physiologgical components with the natural tears in our eyes.dry eyes can lead to blind due to the erosion of the corneal epithelium which can lead to cornea ulcer,and if left untreated can progress to microbial keratitis which is more devastating and can lead to cornea opacity from scar formation leading to blindness in that eye. |

U1:there is other remedy for degenerative myopia,which is keratectomy.it is a LASER surgery done on the cornea to help reduce cornea curvature if too steep.it is not done in Nigeria presently,but in abroad.antiireflection coated lenses are very affordable..try visit an eye clinic close to u for one. |

Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by adaphik(f): 10:04am On Nov 05, 2014 |
Hello Doc, I must say u,re doing a fantastic job. Keep it up? My Aunt had a cataract surgery 2months back n it was great, I mean successful. But since then she,s been placed on numerous eye drops, and she,s getting tired of them. Some of which are 1. Novartis Hypo Tears Gel, Polyacrilic Acid Vitamin A Palmitate. (she hasn't started this tho) 2. Systane Ultra. Lubricant eye drops, Alcan Sterile,and many others after d cataract surgery. My questions are; Should she diiscontinue all eye drops? Which are/ is the most important to be used? She has no complain & in her sixties. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by drsteroid(m): 1:49pm On Nov 05, 2014 |
adaphik:good day,once a patient had successfully undergone cataract surgery,he/she needs to be placed on antibiotics drugs,anti inflammatory drugs and other drugs to aid the healing of the surgical wounds.the patient ought to continue using the drugs and go 4 regular eye check to no if the wound is fully healed.so there is really no problem using eyedrops and oral drugs after cataract surgery.the only thing is that the patient is supose to always go 2 d clinic for post-operative cataract management.The drugs u listed are drugs used to manage patients with dry eyes and allergies.so there is really nothing bad using such drugs after cataract surgery,considering the fact that she is also in her post menopausal age which affects rate of tear production causing dry eyes. I wil advise she should try continue with her post cataract management and see her eye doctor regularly...tanx |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by adaphik(f): 2:28pm On Nov 05, 2014 |
drsteroid: Thx a lot. Very correct. Pls can u prescribe an alternative lubricant eye drop , as d one above is finished n not readily available in Nigeria. She bought d systane in the US. THX. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by drsteroid(m): 2:27pm On Nov 10, 2014 |
adaphik:sorry I have been offline for a while.she can continue with the other drugs as they are also lubricants for the eyes.tanx |

Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by drsteroid(m): 9:30pm On Nov 13, 2014 |
Saheed9:visine is a vasoconstrictor,for congested blood vessels. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by Saheed9: 6:33am On Nov 14, 2014 |
drsteroid:is it d congestion dat caused d tearin nd itching |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by drsteroid(m): 5:21pm On Nov 14, 2014 |
Saheed9:visine is not the drug used in treating tearing and itching,dats what I meant...mast cell stabilizers and anti histamines are used. |
