Olibboy:
swelling tissue behind eyeballs. is there any effective drugs to reduce it

optm:
lolz if the tissue is behind your eyeballs, I bet there's no way you can tell that yourself. I think I have a clue to what you are trying to express in words. the management of any swelling or growth differs depending on its etiology. hence I recommend you see an eye doctor for an examination and possible treatments/ recommendations

Olibboy:
I'm on a treatment but there is no changes.

optm:
self treatment?

Olibboy:
ophthalmologist from a clinic.


can cholesterol cause this problem of swollen as well

Hello Doc, cane hit my child in the eye, this now result to a reddish spot in the corner of the eye... though no any discharge and no pain at all, just the red spot... People say it will clear off with time, but I want it clear quick, what can I apply?

optm:
most likely a subconjunctival hemorrhage. it would resolve on its own

honey001:

Alright. Thanks.

Hello Kannyluv,

How is your nephew's eye now. I really hope he is recuperating and seeing well with the eye now.

I am in a similar situation right now. Someone flung PET bottle and it hit me in the right eye. It happened early this month and most of the symptoms i was experiencing earlier has subsided, but i keep seeing this flashing light at the corner of the eye, my vision is still blurry and my pupils are dilated. I went to General Hospital, Lagos Island, last week thursday and i was given a stroid-based eye drop (to constrict the pupil) and prednisolone or so for the blurry vision.

But i still feel i need some more extensive examination. I would be glad if someone recommend a good hospital in Lagos for an examination. I am considering Eye Foundation, VI, or Metro Eye Clinic, Ikoyi, because they are closest to me. But i am open to better recommendations.

17+,almost two years now,I feel sharp pain in my right eye,headaches, I thought glasses cures myopia but it doesn't...now am gonna use glasses my entire life...... I still can't see far

optm:
hi there . no doubt you need a more comprehensive eye exam. having flashes is usually a call for concern. in this case could be a retinal tear and if not managed in time, could lead to a retinal detachment and could progress to an irreversible vision loss. best wishes dear

odimbannamdi:


Good evening optm,

I went for a B-scan of the eye today and they affirmed that there is no tear in my retina. I even compared the result with google-searched images of retinal detached eyes and mine looks like its okay. I am considering doing another one by tomorrow though, to be doubly sure.

What do you think, sir?

optm:
OK do u still experience the flashes? was anything suggested as the likely cause for the flashes?
note : a retinal tear differs from a retinal detachment

odimbannamdi:


Hello Optm,

Thanks for your replies all along. It is much appreciated.

The report says all is fine and the diagrams look normal, compared to the ones i have researched online. I will be taking the result to go see the consulting doctor at General Hospital, CMS, on Monday. Please find a copy of my scanned report attached. I will take it off as soon as you respond.

But i am wondering, doesn't a B-scan detect retinal tear? The flashes havent stopped entirely, but the frequency and area has reduced slightly. I am getting quite relieved now and know and believe i will be entirely fine, by God's grace.

My vision is still quite blurry and i was told that my optic nerve is inflammed (Optical neuritis), so i was given a steroid (Prednisolone) to relax it. I was told to take 4 tablets every morning for 1 week, 3 tablets the following week, 2 and 1 tablets the following weeks.

Let me know what you think, sir.

Thanks!
