I would not like to ask too many questions here. I just presume you may be having an inflammation of a localized growth; probably a pterygium or a pinguecula . just meet with your eye doc he or she would be in a better position to make a diagnosis after examination and proffer treatment

Exactly... I think its pterygium coz i just googled about its signs and symtoms now.
Its like a small fleshy pink growth.
Become more red after coming back from under d sun.
Atimes it stays a little brigher(close to white)
its making me feel embarrassed.(when people say i should stop looking at them so i dont give them apollo)
VISINE was amongs the eye drop recommended back then and i notice it clears d redness for a short period of time like 15-20mins then the redness comes back.
10days since the redness started.

Your brother's retinal detachment was caused by eye trauma,due to the force 4rm the stone on his eye.For effective treatment,he cause and type must 1st be sort out through a comprehensive case history and examnation.photocoagulation(sealing the torn retina) is usually done,this wil help 2 prevent further damage and may also bring about improvement in vision if the ganglion fibres and other posterior segments are still workng fine.Thanks

Hello,

Kindly recommend any good hospital in Lagos island, where I can go for a Retina (Dilated) eye exam and the cost too. Thanks.

Please, how much is a laser glaucoma surgery in Nigeria and can you suggest good hospitals for it. My Dad has glaucoma , he did the operation on one eyes in 2011 and this week, the second eye just went blind without any sign. The eye that he did operation on is now functioning well,though he is on eyedrop.

He was asked to go to Uch ibadan, I just want the best for him and I will like to know how much the operation will cost. I am in the usa and want to send him money for it. Thank you

Doctor-Patient consultation is not done on a public forum. Caution should be advised when prescribing drugs, for this is a public forum and the drug could get in the wrong hand. Worse, to treat a condition to which the drug is not related to.

Before drugs are prescribed, a doctor worth his salt combines both physical and mental states of his patients to help make an accurate diagnosis.

Medical school is not for fools. It's 6 years of grueling work. So to come here and see people dispensing drugs to the public is alarming. Also, to those seeking advice from them, why will you put your health at the risk and mercy of "Doctors" whose qualification and competency you know nothing of?

Pls, kindly desist from making uninformed diagnosis, and prescribing medication to the public.

Many thanks.

no one is making any uninformed diagnosis here. though eye drops may hv been recommended in one or two posts here nd that i also frown at. bt d thread has been useful . pple do not come here to b treated bt to seek Info on their eye health challenges. besides it's a public forum and there are numerous health practitioners here who could as well mk corrections to any wrong Info being passed across.

Have u been diagnosed of cataracts ? Because plenty things can cause blur vision. Things like refractive errors, corneal issues or even high blood sugar. Drugs don't cure cataracts, it can help minimize d progression. When the cataracts is matured u will need to do cataract extraction.

Doc, do u have a rough estimate of the cost implication of removing cataract? My grand mum has being diagnosed with eye cataract on both eyes but only the left eye is mature for removal now. A private eye clinic here in Warri is billing me 150K, that is too much for me now. The General hospital here is a terrible place to go, I don't want my mama to be badly treated in the General hospital, she is even scared of going there. Can it be cheaper elsewhere? Thanks.

drsteroid:
episcleritis is one of the major causes of redness in one eye,please try explain more if it comes with pain and discharge. For people who uses computers a lot,there are special lenses wchich can be worn by them in other to protect their eyes from the rays from systems which has adverse effect on the eyes..these lenses are called anti reflection coated lenses and are incoporated into the patients former prescriptions if any,it helps to reduce the amount of these rays getting into the eyes wchich can cause a particular kind of cataract called UV radiated Cataract,and this can lead to progressive loss of Vision,which can be reversed by Surgery.So its better to use these lenses,as this gives maximum protection to the eyes. In other to keep our eyes healthy,firstly,we must always observe personal hygiene,make sure we inculcate the habit of washing our eyes with clean water whenever we feels any foreign body in our eyes. Also,before going to bed everyday we must make sure we wash our eyes with clean luke warm water as this will always help to remove debris and other foreign bodies which were trapped in the eyes during the hustling and bustling of the day..we must make sure we eat enough vegetable foods and also eating of fruits daily is very good for the eyes..Lastly,we must always try to avoid things that will cause trauma or injury to the eyes..for more information,you can send me an e mail..Thank you

Doc, does the use of the anti reflective coated lenses also applies to people who watched television and use the tab for several hours everyday? Thanks.
