Hello good day I'm back from the hospital.... I was asked to do a refractive test.... Well I was told it's myopia and exotropia.... Can you tell me more about this and possible solutions will I eye remain crossed?
Thanks

crossed eye (strabismus ) can cause diplopia (double vision) . it is very necessary to get a detailed history about the crossed eye. is the crossed eye of recent onset? is it always crossed or occasionally? any other associated symptom? is there any known systemic disease you re managing? how old are you?.

Thanks well I'm 20years my eyes cross occasionally the crossness is obvious when I look at something afar

how long has this crossed eye been?well I think you may be having a vergence problem. a specialist in orthoptics may be needed

I want to believe what I have is photophobia after much browsing about it

I'm currently squinting cos I can't open my eyes clearly to see(hurts like hell)
Plus the headaches and drizziness. I can't stare at my systems and phones anylonger Even with the low brightness on my phone sef, it still hurts to stare.

I just need any name of hospital when I can get examine without spending much.
I want to believe that general/teaching hospitals aren't that expensive ..

If anyone knows of any private eye clinic or hospital that won't cut off my head in terms of fee, they should recommend for me please

Regards ...

hi dear. photophobia is not a disease but a symptom indicating a problem. only an eye care professional can tell what's wrong after examining your eyes. it's good you are on the course of seeking professional help. as for cost issue, I'll suggest u visit clinics around you and make enquiries for yourself or you could use the govt hospitals which may be cheaper . regards

I think 2 years now... I hope it's not that serious doctor

well from what u have shared , I think it's a vergence problem and some visual exercises may be helpful as well. well the doctor that examined you should be in a better position to tell you how best to go about your eye ish. best wishes

first, you should find out if they carry out such procedure there. wouldn't want to cal figures that I am not sure of; I think in a very few specialist eye clinic in Lagos , it should cost over half a million. not sure tho but make your findings from the centres u intend using

Optm. For a week now my right eye has been producing clear watery discharge. I was hoping it would stop without any treatment but it hasn't.
Instead it just comes and goes. Sometimes it gets worse when I'm outside in the open.
What's your take on this

The pain was somehow sharp at the beginning but dull now, its usually come and go but it persistent today though the pain and headache is a very dull one. My vision is OK, I can still carry out my visual task just that seen letters at long distance is somehow/little bit blur unlike b4. The pain is mainly at the side and back of the head including the eyes. Hope am safe?

Hello Optm and other Eye Docs in the house, I need to know what steps to take about an eyelid twitching problem I have been experiencing for close to 3 weeks now.
Google described it as Myokymia and based on the description of the symptoms I guess it is correct because I only experience it on the left lower eyelid. I don't know how it all started but it became persistent at a point and also irritating. I wanted to see a doctor last weekend but I decided to wait to see if it will go away.
What can I do to make it go away? Is this normal?

I will advice u go to an eye clinic for a thorough eye exam. a thorough history and examination would reveal the cause of the pain and headaches. the pain u re having has nothing to do with the incident of petrol entering your eye.

yes . eye lid twiching could be as a result of a number of things including refractive error. u should visit an eye clinic to rule that out. if very severe, u could apply cold compress to the eyes to help . ensure u go for an eye exam

Thanks, though the pain has almost subsided now but nevertheless I will have to contact my HMO for an appointment with an eye expert. I'm so thankful

I'm unable to get in touch with the HMO due to the location of my station, so I went to an ophthalmologist who after cross examined my eye said I have eye ASLERGIC / ASGMATISM or something (I can't remember the term correctly). That I have some particles and scar in my eye, that though I see clearly but my eye stress to focus, that's what brought about the pain. He gave me eye drops and said there is need for pair glasses.
