optm: Good day doctor. What causes sudden onset of cataract in one eye. There was no trauma or blood sugar issue. The man has arcos senilis and is 44yrs old The cloudiness started three months ago and is getting worse. I know we should see a doctor but I wanted to know what you think is the cause. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 1:29pm On Nov 15, 2021 |
valdovas:Good day . HOw do you know the cloudiness is caused by cataract?unless the cataract is mature, there's no way you can tell except you examine the eye with an instrument. iF it is cataract , you cannot be too sure that it's in just one eye. It could be in both eyes but probably worse in one eye. Any history use of steroidal drug ? what's the nature of the person's job? Any thing spectacular happen to the eyes; probably an inflammation?Have him do a lipid profile test aswell . However , much cannot be done online unless he's examined in person |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by valdovas(m): 5:30pm On Nov 15, 2021 |
optm: Thank you. Does high lipid in blood cause cataracts? Because the man has arcus senilis in both eyes. It's definitely cataract. But in one eye. Do lipid problems cause things like that? |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 7:51pm On Nov 15, 2021 |
valdovas:no it doesn't. I only recommended doing a lipid profile test because of the corneal arcus. I feel he's a little too young to have developed it by now . it isn't very common to see it in people of that age from clinical experience. Is the cataract mature ? You didnt provide answers to the other questions |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by valdovas(m): 8:24pm On Nov 15, 2021 |
optm: Yes the cataract is mature. Good day . HOw do you know the cloudiness is caused by cataract?if you look behind the pupil, it is very clearly opaque. Even without use of instrument. The whiteness of the lens is visible. . iF it is cataract , you cannot be too sure that it's in just one eye. It could be in both eyes but probably worse in one eye That's the thing. The other eye see very well and there is no form of lenticular opacity on examination. Any history use of steroidal drug ? Nope what's the nature of the person's job? Driver. Any thing spectacular happen to the eyes; probably an inflammation He said he wasn't sick and didn't suffer any type of ocular trauma and wasn't on drugs before it started. He just noticed one eye getting progressively worse, he was thinking its something that will resolve on own until it became completely cloudy that's when he got worried |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 8:39pm On Nov 15, 2021 |
valdovas:then we may start considering the possibility of a tumour having ruled out other possible causes |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by valdovas(m): 9:14pm On Nov 15, 2021 |
optm: Can hypotony cause cataract progression in one eye? |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 9:29pm On Nov 15, 2021 |
valdovas:no doubt . due to an inflammation ? What could have been the cause of the hypotony in this case ? |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by valdovas(m): 3:05am On Nov 16, 2021 |
optm: I have no idea what the cause of the hypotony is. The man himself never reported having any illness or condition that can cause inflammation. I really appreciate your responses doc. Thanks � 1 Like |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 8:19am On Nov 16, 2021 |
valdovas:seems to me he has been to the eye clinic before now, right ? |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by valdovas(m): 8:55am On Nov 16, 2021 |
optm:Yes, the doctor referred him to general practitioner. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 8:59am On Nov 16, 2021 |
valdovas:what was his reason for referral to the GP ? |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by valdovas(m): 10:06am On Nov 16, 2021 |
optm:He was referred so he could be tested to check for any systemic disorders or anomalies, like blood sugar or cholesterol levels. Or any type of inflammation because the man himself kept saying he doesn't feel sick or unwell in any way. I believe blood work and other necessary tests will reveal what is actually going on with him. I honestly thought hypotony was the reason for the accelerated cataract formation. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 10:55am On Nov 16, 2021 |
valdovas:what was the iop in that eye ? Was the corneal thickness measured before establishing an ocular hypotony ? Could it be he had a blunt trauma to that eye a long time ago and he possibly had forgotten ? you guys should have him do a Bscan to rule out an ocular tumour too. I wish you guys success as you find answers to your uncle's predicament |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by valdovas(m): 2:12pm On Nov 16, 2021 |
optm: Thanks for your kind wishes. So doctor I thought IOP test is enough to know if ocular pressure is too low. Does corneal thickness has to be measured to establish low IOP? In spite of IOP being 5mmHg in the affected eye? |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 3:39pm On Nov 16, 2021 |
valdovas:corneal thickness does influence iop results. When the cornea is thicker than normal , it gives a higher reading than the actual iop and when it's thinner, it gives a lower result than the actual pressure in the eye. Measuring the corneal thickness helps u to know the true iop |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by valdovas(m): 3:40pm On Nov 16, 2021 |
optm: Ok thanks doc. |

Please who has any idea how much is cataract surgery in Lasuth? |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 7:11pm On Nov 17, 2021 |
Tilda143:i have no idea. You could make out time to visit the hospital and make your findings |

Long time Dr Optm. Trust you are good sir. Please does anti-glaucoma eye drops affect the elasticity of the eye lid? My eye lid is sagging. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 12:59pm On Nov 22, 2021 |
Antiochus:prostaglandin analogues can cause that but not very common side effect . I am good . How have you been ? |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by Antiochus(m): 6:22pm On Nov 22, 2021 |
optm: I have been good sir thanks I haven't gone for appointment since the last strike started and ended. But i still use the "Duosopt" eye drop the opthamologist recommended months ago after i was told to stop using Betaxolol. |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 8:58pm On Nov 22, 2021 |
Antiochus:try see your doc as soon as you can to identify the likely cause of your saggy eye lid |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by Mars2021: 8:08am On Nov 29, 2021 |
Hello doc, good morning. I had a fight with someone about 6 weeks ago which i had a bruised left eye from. A week after, i started experiencing gritty / sand like feeling in my left eye, pain when exposed to bright lights, red eye and blurry vision, all on that particular eye. I visited a reputable pharmacy and was given eye drops (allerex & diclofenac), fleming, vitamin c and multivitamin (visionace). After a month of usage, my bruised eye feels fine and the blurry vision is almost gone. But i noticed for a week now, i started seeing single streak/ray of light from street lights at night on my other unaffected eye.. what could be the problem?? It doesn't hurt though i feel like my eyes are a little dry when i wake up most times. Thanks |
Re: Ask The Eye Doctor Any Problem Concerning The Eyes by optm(m): 2:05pm On Nov 29, 2021 |
Mars2021:the best advice i can give you is that you go for an eye check . Something bad you aint aware of may be developing. Sometimes it takes a while for the aftermath effects of trauma to the eyes to be noticed. Please do visit an eye clinic |
