well, there are programs and aids for blind / persons with low vision to help them function optimally and with minimal or no assistance.

Ok doctorthanks.

Good morning Dr,
Please my question is about my daughter.
she is 9 years old and she always complain: 1. That her eyes is paining her
2. That water drops from her eyes whenever she is at the school looking at the board
3. That she finds it some times hard to see correctly what is on the board

I have taken to Niger optical and the Indian Dr. will always prescribe some set of drugs( Tablets and eye drops) for her to use whenever there's pain
and also that she doesn't need glasses.

so please what's your advice since she is still complaining.

Regards

optm:
Amen and thanks . Best wishes

well from these written here , i ll suspect a refractive error but can't be so certain unless i get to examine her. I'll suggest you seek a second opinion else where too if you can. When she uses the drug, does it help in resolving her symptoms?

optm:
it depends

Like how sir

Age of the patient , severity of amblyopia and also compliance of the patient in treatment are some factors that could influence treatment outcome

well of course i doubt much can be done for this age, nevertheless there are studies that adults could be treated for amblyopia aswell . Well, I am yet to manage one , hence i cannot give an opinion based on experience .

Hi doc, do glasses wear out. I am starting to feel symptoms which my glasses were correcting before.

not really but your refractive power might have changed and would likely be needing a new prescription . You should go for another eye exam. It is advised to review your lens prescription once in 2years but eye examinations should be yearly

Had my IOP checked today it measured 16/18.
She dialated the eyes and said no noticable damage to the optic nerves so I was asked to come back in 3 months time she said I should prepare for the 3rd CVF test to know if there is a progression. Still on Betaxolol.

they are within the normal pressure range but the goal is achieving a pressure value where there ll be no progression of the disease

well, try to get enough rest and not overwork yourself with worries. Worry over a thing doesn't change the thing. You should probably seek the help of a counselor or a psychologist .

Doc., please help! Since 12yrs ago I have been battling with constant and severe eye pains in my right eye. At this point it causes the eye to squint and weak, and I find it very difficult to look side ways to the right side.
What I know could be the cause is that, sometime in 2009 I was deepfrying some fish when I mistakenly used a wet spoon to dip into the frypan with hot oil and so it exploded and caused the hot oil to splash into my eye. Ever since then my right eye has been in great tension. I feel dragging in the nerves. The issue has cost my life ambitions, it has recked my life! It has cost me my self esteem due to the fact I cant maintain eye contact conversations. I lose balance in crowd, I have 24/7 migrains in the right eye. I have great confusion in focusing on objects as the ĺeft eye(which is calm and okay) and the right eye can not align.
Welĺ, I have been to several hospitals including Teaching Hospital,Gwagwalada, Abj; I have been to UPTH, Port Hascourt; Teaching Hospital, Bayelsa and a host of other eye clinics. All I get is eyeglass recommendation and few histamine and related drugs. They don't work and I am tired. Please help me!

Thank you! That is the problem—none of them told me what really is wrong with the eye. Everyone of them just kept exclamating and shouting at me for joking with my eyesight, telling me that they are very bad. And that I should have started using glasses long ago. Even though I use the glasses, the pressure in the eye wont just stop. The pain is unbearable. I feeĺ it deep inside straight passing through the ear to the back of the head or skull, and paralysis down to the right side of the nose and the jaw. What I know is that I never had eye issue until that incidence, it is that effect of the hot oil that splashed into the eye, but the doctors all disagree with me on that.

how old are you? Have you experienced any temporary vision loss ?

I am 28yrs. No. But I have very blurred eyesight which I attribute to the numerous herbal stuffs I have put in the eyes over the years to treat the eye.
