glaucoma doesn't cause treath to life so you friend ain't dying as a result of the disease. Yes her vision in the other eye can be very well preserved and she ll be able to function well but she needs to be consistent with her recommended drugs and regularly visit her doctor for check up where he would be able to assess how well the drugs are bringing down the pressure and if there's progression of the disease. It could be financially demanding but she just has to do what's needed . Goodluck to her

She was also told to apply eye drops on the affected eye along side the functioning eye...is there any need to still treat the affected eye

the cause of the glaucoma is considered in order to decide but in primary open angle glaucoma, damage could be more on one eye than the other eye or sometimes noticed in one eye first before on the other one. Whatever the doc recommends, she should follow

Dr please the vision on my right eye is cloudy/blurry , I’m also experiencing some pain on it especially when I go out in the sun, the pain gets worse. What could be wrong?
Note that I have myopia

[quote author=optm post=105972166] I’m 30, it was sudden I cannot remember anything happening, yes it’s blurry when looking at things near too. I also have floaters which are increasing.

[quote author=Zeinar post=105991992][/quote] please visit a good eye clinic to examine you for retinal tear / detachment , it could aswell be as a result of inflammation inside the eye. Long and short, it needs an urgent attention .

Thanks doctor, can you recommend a good eye clinic in Lagos? I know you can’t do that here but is there a way I can send a direct message?

Optm doc...since the glaucoma has totally ridden her off one of her eyes,it was also discovered small splinters of cataract in the other eye...would you still advice for surgery on the functioning eye...because Its obvious she won't be able to see anything immediately after the surgery

Super scared!

well, cataract surgery is advised if it's causing significant dusturbance to her vision already. If she gets a skilled surgeon , she ll do well after surgery still .

Good day doctor.

I noticed blurry and double vision and when I look at far away under bright sunlight it seems blurry but near objects are clear. If I wear sunshade far away objects are clear, it is only blurry under bright sunlight

The main issue is blurry double vision under bright sunlight. It started a week ago. What could be the cause? Thanks

what is your age? Any other associated symptoms aside the double vision and blurriness eg Headaches, peppery or burning sensation , feeling of eye dryness , sandy sensation? Does things close to you while in the sun eg texts on your phone ; also appear blurry or double ?

the sun may not really have a direct effect on what you are experiencing . It may be you are having a binocular vision problem . You should visit an eye clinic to have it looked at

there's no cure to glaucoma . It can only be managed so there isn't further loss of vision from the disease. The management varies depending on the type of glaucoma and stage of the disease

Hello doctor
Please my eyes ache a lot when exposed to bright light
I get pain in front of the eyes and headaches too. The eyes also tear up easily when this ache comes. Eye pain can also just come up randomly even inside house like yesterday it was not there until afternoon or just started randomly.
There is also redness too severe redness and I see rainbow around light. My eye pressure is ok, the last optometrist I saw told me my eye pressure is ok and my back of eye is ok. They have me malvidex and diclogenta but the symptoms go away temporarily and return again.

Please what can be the problem?

I see very clearly. Both far and near.

when these happen, do you get nauseated aswel? do you come down with headaches when you stay on your phone and computers for a while? How about when you read? Does your eye feel peppery/ burning? Does it feel like it's dry sometimes?

N

Towma:


I don't get nauseated, I get headaches back of my head and frontal eyeache.
Also pepperish. Not really dry, just painful and pepperish .

there are a number of conditions that might be responsible for these symptoms. We ll have to rule out a latent refractive error , dry eye disease; possibly evaporative , then assess your anterior chamber angle . I strongly suspect either of the first two . You should visit another clinic and get a second opinion

Good evening Doctor.

Please I have an uncle that has been treating diabetes for over ten years. He was not taking his drugs in the beginning for up to 7 years so that one made his eye sight worse. Now he can't see well and read or drive. But presently he takes his drugs religiously and his blood sugar is always below 7.
He is fifty four.
His optometrist asked him to visit tulsi chanrai eye center because there are opthalmologists that can inject his eye and prevent further damage.

Please is there any other advise you can give to help restore his eyes to the way it was?

I know he has seen an optometrist before but you seem to be very knowledgeable and experienced so I think you can have better advice for us.
Thank you.

diabetes could come with a number of eye complications . If he's having a diabetic retinopathy already , it's actually a good advise he sees an ophthalmogist for management. The management approach depends on the stage of the disease. Vision may improve but there's no guarantee to the extent of improvement and the prognosis depends on quite a number of factors. It's a good thing he's trying to control his sugar but he definitely needs to see an ophthalmogist. as soon as he can . I wish him good luck
