Asked for Female | 42 Years

I am traveling outside of the United States, and I have the following symptoms: low grade fever, sore throat, congestion, and partial blind spots & floaters in both eyes. I wanted to check in to see if I need to seek immediate medical attention. I should note that I have a history of migraines, and have been experiencing them on and off while traveling.

It might be a good idea to seek medical attention since you're experiencing low fever, sore throat, etc.. Given your history of migraines, these symptoms could have various causes.

Right side eye not visible blur

Male | 66

Some reasons for this include having an infection in one’s eye(s), getting hurt somehow or trouble with the blood vessels within them. While these may serve as signs indicating when things such as these are happening:

If you’re in pain then your eyes could be affected
Redness around the affected part could show a problem also exists there.
Being sensitive to light may be another issue altogether.

Please visit an eye doctor for further treatment.

I have experienced shaky vision in the top as well the left corner of my left eye. This has happened 4 times so far in a span of 6 months. the most recent being yesterday (11/18/2023). it starts of with a dark/ blind spot in the centre of my eye/ vision so I can see like the peripheries of stuff but not the middle. Kind of like when you stare at the sun or a bulb then you get a dark spot in your vision for a bit. this then transitions into shaky vision in the top and left hand corner of my left eye only. the best way I can describe it is like when you look at the ground on a hot day or the sand in a desert when heat is rising so things look all wavy. that's what it looks like. then this lasts for 10-15 minutes then it goes away. please note that I never have headaches or migraines ever during these episodes. do you have an idea of what this could be?

BASED ON your SYMPTOMS, it's possible that you are experiencing OCULAR MIGRAINES...However, it's IMPORTANT to consult an EYE DOCTOR for a proper DIAGNOSIS and TREATMENT PLAN...Ocular migraines are not HARMFUL, but ruling out other causes is CRUCIAL...

can you take mdma after having lasik eye surgery

Female | 20

Using MDMA after LASIK is risky because it can cause high eye pressure, blurred vision, and light sensitivity, which are all hazardous for your healing post-operative eyes. Therefore it is critical to shield them during this time and abstain from substances like ecstasy that might hurt them.

8 years old kid is having cataracts 60%+ . Kindly suggest best lens for kids, And the best Doctor for kids eye surgery . Is surgery only option to cure this or any medication can cure this disease ?

Male | 9

Surgery is the best choice for children facing the problem of cataracts. For the best vision in kids with cataracts intraocular lens (IOL) is recommended, as it offers the most customizable solution based on a particular case. Consulting an eye specialist is the key to exact diagnosis and effective treatment. Medication can't be a remedy for cataracts; surgery is mainly needed to have the eye lens with cloudy removed and vision restored.

Male | 50

You might notice changes in air pressure while flying after such a procedure. This could be uncomfortable or slow down the healing process. So, it’s better to postpone your trip until your eyes fully recover from surgery.

She has a eye pressure rate 26-27

Female | 15

An eye pressure between 26-27 is a bit higher than the normal. This can be the first indicator of a disorder named glaucoma. Nevertheless, these signs may be related to decreased vision, eye pain, or no symptoms. Excessive eye pressure is the cause of visual impairment; therefore, an eye examination is essential. The course of action generally includes using eye drops or surgery to reduce pressure levels and keep your sight safe.

Hi… I wanted to do Contuora vision surgery for removing my spectacle . My age is 42 and powers are -5 cylindrical and -1 spherical with 110 and 65 axis. One doctor suggested that with -5 cylindrical power Contoura vision cannot be done and go for Refractive Lens Exchange / clear lens exchange or ICL. I visited another ophthalmologist for second opinion as I don’t want to extract my natural lens ,and he suggested that I can go with Contoura vision for spec removal. Now I am confused . Should I go with CV. At this point i am not interested to extract my natural lens. Looking for some help in this regard from experts. It’s a matter of eyes. I also have reading glass .

Female | 42

CV is a laser procedure to reshape the cornea, while RLE involves replacing the natural lens. ICL is another lens-based option. To make an informed choice, discuss your cornea's suitability for CV, the effectiveness of each procedure for your prescription, and potential risks with your doctors. Seek a third opinion if needed, as your eye health is important.

Blur vision due to shrunken optic nerve

Female | 46

If your optic nerve becomes smaller, it may lead to unclear eyesight. This happens when the nerve is injured or squeezed. You might have difficulty seeing things sharply or lose your peripheral vision. It is necessary to determine the reason behind this atrophy. It is important to consult a neurologist or an ophthalmologist as soon as possible to diagnose and treat the underlying cause.

I have -7.5 eye sight In right eye and -3.75 eye sight in my left eye .am I eligible for pwd low vision category

Male | 24

Significant nearsightedness in both eyes is what you have in effect. This, though, can be a challenge, not the case for people who have disabilities, and may not necessarily be a reason for low vision. You may have symptoms such as blurry vision and struggle to see things at a distance. Genetic factors or eye shape can be some of the causes. Glasses or contact lenses can be used to correct the vision. Be sure to see an eye doctor for a thorough assessment and advice.
