Good morning doctor. Pls l work in a village and there is no hospital around. It will take 3hours drive to get to city before l can see hospital and an optician.

Please l need your advice. Thank you for your support to humanity

Hello. Please is there any alternative drug to buy to manage glaucoma aside from Misopt? The drug is scarce.

Hello Doctor, does a person require a doctor's prescription on the lense to get when picking a photochromic glass?

contact the Dr that's attending to you . Glaucoma isn't a thing you manage by just repeating the drug . Your Dr should evaluate from time to time for progression of the disease

Hi Doctor

I have this eye issue that developed recently. If I widen my eyes, my vision will be blurred and I'd see double.

I've been to 4 clinics and they all said different things. From cataract, glaucoma, lazy eyes and stuff.

Please help

how old are you? Does the double vision disappear if you close one eye? Is it constant or it comes with certain activities? Any associated nausea or
headaches? Does your eye feel dry or peppery?

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

Doing the same thing every time will give you the same result.

This may be a last resort. Search in google: hbot for diabetic retinopathy.
You will be happy you did.

Good evening doctors in the house. Thanks for the good work...

I went to see the optician for check up but I am asked to carry out the following tests at the laboratory:

(1) OCT (2) CVF (3) Pachymetry

Please, what are they for? And how much will each cost me?

Thanks

. First, you have to rule out for refractive error. You need to visit an eye clinic

Hello Doctor

I live with myopia, and I didn't even know it until recently. So I went for an eye test, and we tried several lenses until we got the right one.

I used it to read almost everything in the eye test chart, but the last one was tough. It's safe to say I failed the last one.

The doctor there just said that they were the right glasses for me. that that moment, I knew what I was missing all my life because everything was like HD, but I was a bit worried because I thought I was supposed to read everything, including the last alphabet with the lens.

I went today for another trail, and he said, for now, there isn't a lens for me, and I should not worry.

Do you think it isn't the right lens for me, or do you think I have another eye problem?

I am thinking of going to the general hospital this time.

I look forward to your reply. Thanks.

in prescribing lenses, clarity as well as comfort is important . The doctor makes his decision based on your responses and his or her observations and i cannot tell if his judgements were wrong or right. If you do not trust his judgements, you should consider getting another test elsewhere . It isn't a must one sees everything on the visual acuity chart during examination

Thank you doctor.

I have another question, I could only read the first later with my left eye and the second line with my right eye. Based on experience do you think I'm up to the -10ish myopia

well, i cannot rule out its possibility but -10 is high ; but then, the doctor examining you is in a better position to decide what's best for you

optm:
sorry i didn't get to reply this. Hope you are good now?

Umm.. I will say am good.. just dat at night the street lights and bulbs has black patch when view with the left affected eye.
And when I look close at the left eye through the mirror, I saw a white dot on the cornea
