According to the doctor, the pressure was fine not bad, the last time I checked was last year August/September .I have BN using it regularly, here are the test attached.

hi. I couldnt make out details from the pictures posted (isnt clear ) but was able to notice from the bebie curve (the graph like drawing on the lower right ) on the test results that you are having a localized defect on your visual field but then again i was barely able to see a bit of the reliability indices from the second pic posted. To cut the long story short and to avoid too much grammar , lolz. The accuracy of the test done is to be questioned and the results cannot be relied on in making accurate judgements. Your doctor should have asked you to repeat the test. I advise you either go bk to your doctor to tell him or her your concerns and asks to be clarified on the diagnosis and what you are being managed for or seek a second opinion elsewhere

Thank you for your response

good evening doctor,
i'm getting serious headaches when i dont use my glasses.
i cant use my glasses always, i dont know if i need eye drop now or something. thanks.

optm:
if you get headaches only when you do not use your glasses , then your headaches can be attributed to uncorrected refractive error which the glasses is taking care of and there are no drugs to substitute glasses . You should ensure you use your glasses always. I'll like to know why u cannot use ur glasses always

Chatbot1234:


i dont just feel comfortable in it and after i remove it. it gets all blurry again.
i'll try to use it more now, thanks.

Hello Sir.
I went for a dilated eye exam last february and the opthmologist said my disc is suspicious she told me to go and do CVF test. After doing it i was referred to a glaucoma specialist to read the CVF test after reading it the man said i'll have to do another CVF test in 3 months time. I was suprised to hear that because i was thinking he should be able to detect my Visual field with the one i did and each CVF test cost 5k here.

He told me i'll still have to do another visual test that costs N40k at a private university hospital here because the state hospital here does not have the machine. I'll do another CVF test next week and after that i'll be referred to a private hospital to do a test that costs 40k. I also have refractive error and i use glasses too. So what is the meaning of "suspicious eye disc"? Is it that i have glaucoma? And i work on digital devices a lot that is the reason why i have refractive error and is there any connection between working heavily on computer and glaucoma/eye pressure?

I am 28 years old

optm:
hi there. Yeah CVF isnt what is done on a one off basis. You might need to take the test from time to time to tell if there's is further worsening of visual field defect or if it's stable . your doctor might be asking for a repeat in 3 months time just to ensure the results re consistent or to tell if theres a worsening of visual field defect within this period. The other test costing about 40k should be OCT required sometimes to establish a diagnosis of glaucoma. you are likely having a large cup disc ratio which sometimes is associated with glaucoma hence the use of d term 'suspicious disc' and there is need for further investigation to tell if it's actually glaucoma or not requiring these tests you are asked to do . I hope this helps

Antiochus:


Thanks i really appreciate your response.
I couldn't sleep the day i did the test. My life has changed ever since then,. I think about it everyday. Please what can i do to avoid eye pressure that damages the disc. Should i limit my computer use? And is that large cup disc ratio linked to any other eye issue aside glaucoma?

And at times i used to experience this feeling like there is an object in the eyes trying to force itself out. As if my eyeball wants to jump out or burst after looking at the screen for a long period of time or when i look at the ground.

optm:
computer use doesnt cause or worsen glaucoma. If a diagnosis of glaucoma is established, you ll be placed on drugs to help manage the condition although there aint any cure and if you adhere strictly to ur doctor's recommendations , there ll be likely no much issue. Myopia could be associated with large cup disc ratio aswell . Some persons just have somewhat large cup disc ratio naturally

Antiochus:


After the CVF test i'll take a snapshot and upload it here. Thanks for the good work you are doing here, may God continue to enlarge your coast.

As regards your discomfort after use of system, do you use ur glasses while working on the system and yet experience same discomfort ? If yes, how long have you been using your current lens prescription ?

Antiochus:


Yes i still experience discomfort while on system even with my glasses. I got a new prescription 2 months ago. At times i would feel like i have pepper sprayed into the eye at times it stings i experience itching too and it aches there by leading to headache and tiredness, all these happen when i work on computer or phone for sometime. I do experience dryness at night.

My opthamologist told me to stop staring at screen at nights cause of the glare these device emit. So i try my best to stop using my phone, system at night even i avoid watching TV at night too cause my eye is too sensitive to these devices at night.

optm:
i suggest you should do a tears assessment test to rule out tears insufficiency as regards this complaint .

Still no cure for amblyopia?

I was recently diagnose of glaucoma after complaining of blurry vision. was giving drop combo of dorzolamide and timolol. the issue now is that instead of the blurry vision to clear as said by the doctor I saw, the blurriness is increasing with pains in my head and at the back of my head. he said it is the side effect of the drop and should clear off but I am not feeling any better. what do I do please. I don't want to loose my sight.

Malik1338:
hi Doc
recently my eyes do become blurry but in the daytime my vision is very clear and normal but when it starts to reach 8 PM my vision will start being blurry..what could be wrong??

Investnow2017:
Good day Doctor,
Please help my 13yrs old nephew often experiences severe pain at his left eye and this often leads to him having a headache.

What might be the problem. He doesn't use glasses though and no mucus from. His eye. Just pain and headache.
Please help. Thanks.
.

optm:
what's your age? Is there any person in your family having this experience of poor vision at night ?

Malik1338:

I'm 22 ..Not at all non of my family member is even using glasses

optm:
ok. i cant tell what might be the exact cause of your poor vision at night, it would take an exam to unravel the exact cause . the most likely causes re; short sightedness, vitamin A deficiency and retinitis pigmentosa. You should schedule an eye exam

Malik1338:

alright thanks
I hope i won't start using glasses yet

Malik1338:

alright thanks
I hope i won't start using glasses yet

Dear optm. My sister can't see far objects with her right eye (she said objects are blurry except they are very close), and she started seeing floaters with the same eye.

A doctor recommended glasses for the blurry vision and antioxidants for the floaters.

How long can she use the antioxidants for and is there any eye drops you can prescribe for the blurry vision?
