Could my low vision and optic nerve thinness cause eye pain and headaches?

Patient's Query

I have low vision and thin optic nerve Eye pain and headache

Answered by Dr. Sumeet Agrawal

Low vision and a narrow optic nerve are hard to deal with. These problems could be causing the eye pain and headaches you’re having. Glaucoma or damage to the optic nerve can sometimes lead to such symptoms. Therefore you need to visit an ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hi ..I am forty-eight years old... Can I have LASIK to correct my vision... ??

Male | 48

Lasik eligibility depends on having a stable vision, eye health, and corneal thickness. At age 48, it's essential to consult an eye care specialist to determine if lasik is suitable for you. Other vision correction options like implantable lenses can be considered if Lasik isn't recommended.

I have got retinal gas treatment before 7 weeks, now is that possible to use air transport as of tomorrow?

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.

Doctor, I am 18 year old male, having problem in eye of change in it's power to -0.25D. I wear glasses too.I am also eye exercises and routines which can bring my eye power to normal.I am asking how much time should mobile screen to be limited per day to keep my eye safe on the above report?

Male | 18

Your eyesight has changed a bit with a measurement of -0.25D. This might make your vision less clear and give you sore eyes or a headache. If you spend lots of time looking at screens (like phones), these symptoms could get worse than they already are. To protect your sight, attempt to keep screen use down to 2 hours everyday maximum and take breaks every 20 minutes or so where you focus on something in the distance. You should still wear your glasses as directed by the optician as well.

What can I do if my eyes gets red

Other | 25

Red eyes are common and can happen for many reasons, like a stuffy nose, dust, tiredness, or chlorine. Sometimes, conditions like arrhythmia or long periods of staring at screens can also cause red eyes. To help, you can use artificial tears to keep your eyes moist. If your eyes still feel irritated, taking a break and resting them is a good idea.

When I work out at the gym, my eye starts to swell after the workout. I consulted an eye specialist, who said it’s an allergy. However, when I jog or walk outside, nothing happens. In the gym, if I lift weights, even light ones, my eye starts to swell later. When I do floor exercises like push-ups, I feel like there's a foreign object in my eye, causing a twitching sensation. This only happens with exercises that involve pressure.looking like muscle weakness.It also happens after swimming. This issue never occurred before, and I’ve been doing these activities for the past four years without any problems. I have consulted various doctors and spent a lot of money, but I have not found a solution.

Male | 24

You might be having allergic reactions triggered by your exercise. When you do certain workouts at the gym, like lifting weights or floor exercises, your eye swells up. This could be due to allergens at the gym or materials from the equipment. It's good that outdoor activities don't cause this problem. To prevent the symptoms, try wearing protective eyewear (goggles) at the gym or using antihistamine eye drops before you work out. It's a good idea to consult with an allergist for a complete evaluation and management plan.

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 a 46 year old female..from few months I had observed puffiness around my eyes.. especially around lower eye lid..but now from few months it's seen on the upper eyes lid of my right eyes. Could it be just age related or some other reason.

Female | 46

It is likely that the puffiness around your eyes can be age related.  But certain medial conditions can also cause puffiness such as thyroid problem, allergies etc. Please consult a doctor if the puffiness worsens or does not go away.
