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.

This is really heartbreaking!

Please, how do i reach u?

optm:
your right eye isn't perfectly fine either although it has better vision than the left eye. standard vision is 6/6 . you would likely be needing glasses to help both eyes see better

hello.. good evening doctor.. finally, I have got an eye glass and it's coated with Antireflective transition.. thanks so much for the attention

uwlcm dear Geminita.

Good day optm, i've been having blurry vision and feeling dizzy for the past two weeks. I've gone for a test and my blood level was a little below the normal range and also mild typhoid was present. I've taken the prescribed drugs but the condition didn't improve. Is there an underlying cause?

the prescription needs to be reviewed. you should report to the clinic on the discomfort you are having using the glasses.

yes you can opt for contact lenses but you must take hygiene serious if you re to use one.

Good day doc.. Pls I 2012 realised that I was to light sensitive and couldn't even look at the sky in the day for long .. By 2017 I developed floaters in my eyes..the doctor said it was macula degeneration ..another clinic gave me photochromic glasses.. When I returned to Uch for retina check up , after flashing that high of light into my dilated pupils ..I realised later that night that when I look at a white source of light I see rainbow and scattered rays ...I went back again and realised that both yellow and white bulbs show scattered rays and rainbow... Since February 2019 I have not gone back cos it seems the more the check at Uch they more I develop issues...now I don't use the photochromic glasses anymore cos it gives more scattered rays .. I use sun shade to reduce the light intensity as everything outside especially during a sunny day reflects scatteredly in2 my eyes..from reflection on car screens from the sun to reflective surface.. Its giving me inconvinences and worries.. I can read perfectly well ..I can see far and neat objects perfectly well .i have don sugar test..eye pressure test the results were ok.. and am just 29 yrs

hi dear . the symptoms you are experiencing actually calls for concern. since you have visited the hospital, I can't really tell what is being missed unless I m able to examine you. halos( rainbows around lights ) could indicate high eye pressure, ocular media opacities, even refractive errors like astigmatism. do u experience headaches /eye pain occasionally associated with nausea, red eyes?

I only get headaches when i suddenly look into a very bright light.. But no nausea or redness... How can I get to your hospital

Hello doctor,i used my contact lens yesterday,and after removing it the right side of my eyes still feels like i have something in it,though no redness,itching,discharge or swollen

oh I m quite far. in one of the northern states. please do go back to the uch and let them re- examine the eyes. just give it a trial once more . I do not know of any eye clinic there I can make recommendations of.

OK you can request comfort drops from your eye clinic and endeavour not to allow the contact lens stay on ur eyes more than the recommended hours and also pay attention to hygiene . I m sure u ll be fine .
