Good evening doc, please kindly help me to interpret this test result below. I went for a test today because i was having watery eyes when i woke up in the morning and also i was feeling something like a stone or sand in one of my eyes. A test was carried out and the doc said she suspected a glaucoma in her examination and the IOP was 13mmHg/12mmHg also i was given some eye drops for the teary eyes, which i have attached below.

Good evening doc. Please what's responsible for an itching eye? The moment it starts itching me, it will take a while before it stops; my left eye to be precise.

I had an accident in 2006 ( something hit my eyes, it was an eye drop that i applied then). I'm not sure if the itching is connected to the accident.

I must say that at times , mostly at night, closer objects would appear far away from me. Please help.

I can't find any pic

Shytreasure:



No. However, part of it appears blood-stained!

Please, is there any cure for terrible vision loss due to diabetes? We've been to different eyes clinic for treatment including laser surgery yet my mom's vision keep getting worse. She's just 49

optm:
oh dear i feel sorry your mum is having to deal with this. Ocular complications of diabetes can be terrible , expensive and difficult to manage sometimes. Different approach and treatment is required depending on the cause of the vision loss. for instance , managing vision loss as a result of a diabetic macula edema would be different from managing vision loss from a retinal detachment as a result of an aftermath of retinal neovascularization or vision loss from cataracts as a result of the diabetes etc. It's going to be quite a journey with her doctors else , she risks blindness .

Topshow4real:


Despite money spent, her left eye is completely blind. Now, the right one she's managing is getting worse by the day. We are thinking of visiting the eye clinic in Kaduna you mentioned in one of your post on this thread. Do you think with their equipment, they will be able to help her condition? Kaduna is far from ogun where we live

optm:
i have replied and re-sent the previous email . Hope you got it now?

Good evening doctor.
I was diagnosed with myopia six months ago and I was given an eye glass with the prescription of 2.0 at my left eye and 1.5 at my right eye.
However, my eye sight has gotten worse ever since when I started spending longer hours coding on my laptop (about 8-10 hours) and I feel a slight pain in my eye balls.
How can I stop my eye sight from getting worse than it already is ?

optm:
i really can't tell what might be the cause of the swelling but i ll suggest you have it looked at . Visit an eye clinic to have it examined

optm:
there are myopia control options to slow down the progression of myopia. Discuss with your Dr to find one suitable for you

TruthTella:


Doctor please tell me some myopia control measures.

Doctor please tell me some myopia control measures.

optm:
there are special contact lenses, glasses as well as use of a type of eye drop [don't ask me the name of the eye drop o cos the formulation isn't sold in the drug store. it's not a straight forward thing ] meet with your doc for further explanations

TruthTella:


Thanks
Is there any long term effect to using that myopia control eyedrop?

optm:
it's relatively safe, it's a weak concentration but then, it's a drug still and anything could happen.

Good day doctor. What causes eyes to get swollen after bending head down in prostration? The swelling isn't painful. It just gets swollen after the person bends their head to the ground when observing Muslim prayers then the swelling reduces overtime, gradually. It returns again when the person bends their head.
Thank you.

optm:
how old is this person ? Does the person experience swelling elsewhere? Any known systemic health condition ?

Towma:


She is 37, no swelling elsewhere and no other systemic condition. Thanks

optm:
i really cannot tell why but i strongly advise she visits a clinic to have it looked at

Towma:


Do you know any conditions that can cause such a thing?
Thank yoi
