Shaky Vision in Left Eye: Possible Causes

Patient's Query

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?

For the last three days my eyes are itching a lot and have become a little red too.

Female | 19

You might have eye allergies. Itchy, red, watery eyes often mean allergens like dust, pollen, or pet dander irritating them. Over-the-counter eye drops can help soothe the discomfort. Don't rub your eyes. Wash hands often and keep living spaces clean to reduce allergens. If symptoms persist, consult an eye care professional.

I am staying in hostel. My warden have conjunctivitis now.I have red eyes after sleeping only is it conjunctivitis

Female | 18

The symptoms which you are experiencing could be conjunctivitis which in layman’s terms is referred to as pink eye. Conjunctivitis indicates the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, transparent layer surrounding the white area of the eye. In my opinion, you have to consult an ophthalmologist.

I'm suffering from fever and I have huge pain in my eyes

Female | 20

It seems you have pink eye, a type of eye infection. Your eyes hurt and have a fever. This sickness happens when germs infect the white part of your eyes. Germs like bacteria or viruses cause it. Warm towels on your eyes and keeping them clean helps. Don't touch your eyes too much. See an eye doctor if it doesn't get better.

The thing is that my father had a cataract surgery 9 days ago but as normal patient his eyesight hasn't come yet. He is facing blurriness or cloudiness and not able to see things properly. Kindly guide me by giving the best suggestion from your side.

Male | 56

The cloudy or blurry vision is one of the normal things to experience during the first few days after cataract surgery. Yet, as the condition has lasted more than a week, you are advised to see your ophthalmologist. In this situation, your father can ask these eye doctors who previously did his cataract for a close examination and treatment.

Eye ke side me chot lag gaya hai

Male | 4

Your eye got hurt on the side. Signs of this are pain, red color, swelling, and blurry sight. Hitting or bumping near your eye can do this. Gently use something cold over it. Don't rub it. If pain stays or seeing issues don't go away, it's wise to go see an eye doctor.

Male | 20

You might have conjunctivitis (AKA pink eye) if you’re seeing yellow. This condition can make your eyes swell up, get itchy, and turn red. The best thing you can do is to see an eye specialist immediately so that they can give you proper treatment before it gets worse. If not attended to on time, it could lead to more serious complications.

The perfume you're applying near your eyes might be causing discomfort, making them hurt. You may experience itchiness, watering, or a sensation of something in your eyes. It's important not to ignore this issue. Rinse your eyes with cold water for immediate relief. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult an eye specialist. They can guide how to manage your condition effectively.

I take ashwagandha daily, can I donate my blood? And I had a Lasik eye surgery 3 years ago.

Male | 21

Yes, you can give blood if you take ashwagandha every day and had Lasik surgery 3 years ago. The ashwagandha herb is safe and will not impact your blood donation. The Lasik eye operation you had some time ago also does not stop you from giving blood. Just make sure you feel good on the day you plan to donate blood.

I am 43years old woman. My physical apperance and looks like not to more than 28Yrs. I do lots of computer works too. From Last year onwards my vision starts getting low. e.g. if i read news paper i should give more strain to my eyes. I went to an optical shop and checked with them. They said i have to wear glass with points. Don't remember the points. still i use the same. But, when i remove glass the same has to day give over strain. Can you help me is this a major problem? or need more treatment?

Female | 43

This could be a case of eye strain caused by the computer and prolonged use of it. This can lead to symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches, and the inability to focus. The causal factor is usually the long screen time. To help, try taking breaks, adjusting your screen settings, and making sure to wear your glasses as prescribed. If the situation continues, it is better to consult an eye doctor for more examinations.

I am 17 year old female. I noticed that I have a lump inside my eyelids on both eyes. It is painless, not swollen, it's colour is same as my skin colour. It's been for about 1 month and it is starting to get noticeable when I close my eyes.

Female | 17

You may have a common eye issue called a chalazion. A chalazion is a small lump in the eyelid. It happens when oil glands get blocked. Don't worry, chalazions often go away by themselves. Try warm compresses to help it heal faster. If it doesn't go away or gets bigger, see an eye doctor for treatment. Chalazions are not serious but can be annoying. The key is to be patient and keep doing the warm compresses. If it persists, an eye doctor can help with easy treatments.
