Question 1

i'm just wondering, if you injected numbing stuff into someone's eye, what would happen?

Accepted Answer

Corneal melts: Injections are done by ophthalmologists. It should wear off.  Need to patch the eye. Anesthesia drops for the eye can be devastating with corneal melting and total loss of the eye, if used poorly.  The anesthesia drops reduce or eliminate the sensation (what is anesthesia), and therefore the total rate of blinking. Cornea drys out, and melts, perforates, gets infected and total loss of eye follows.

Question 2

what is anicteric sclerae.

Accepted Answer

Just means: You do not have signs of high bilirubin ie the whites of your eyes are not yellow.

Question 3

is there a medication that can be injected into the eye to dissolve macular pucker instead of surgery.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Consult with your retinal specialist to discuss Jetrea™ (Ocriplasmin) which has been approved for vitreo macular adhesion(VMA) or similar vitreo macular traction syndrome(VMT). Only your specialist would be able to tell you if your epiretinal membrane is needing treatment and which treatment will yield the best results. Good luck.

Question 4

what to do if i have a disease called macular degeneration in my eye do i need inject of avast for the rest of my life?

Accepted Answer

Two types: 1. Dry: areds vitamins, tobacco cessation. 2. Wet: intravitreal injections of anti-vegf molecules like avastin, lucentis, (ranibizumab) or Eylea (these injections may be life-long). You must see a retina specialist as soon as possible to determine the type of macular degeneration you have and the need for treatment.

Question 5

what do you recommend if i have a disease called macular degeneration in my eye do i need inject of avast for the rest of my life?

Accepted Answer

If you have the dry: Form then you can decrease your risk of conversion to the wet form by taking the areds 2 formula of eye vitamins and reducing your modifiable risk factors (sun protection, smoking cessation, improved diet, etc.) if you have the wet form then intravitreal injections are effective and the standard of care at this time. This does not necessarily mean you will need treatment indefinitely.

Question 6

6 eye dr can't figure out what's going on with my eye, did an echorgraphy, maybe next inject dye in my veins , will detect anything?im hopeless!

Accepted Answer

FA: I assume the injection of a dye is a Fluorescein angiogram (fa).  It will provide many answers regarding the health of the back of your eyes, and hopefully lead to a diagnosis. Good luck.

Question 7

restalyne put under eyes. 1 eye looks like i have bag.  there's a bulge.  doctor tried 4 times injecting 2 get it out. feel this is permanent. help!!

Accepted Answer

HAfiller/excess/eye: Only a very very experienced hyalurondiase injector can help to dissolve poor excess HA fillers. Especially in tear trough areas.  But this dissolver injection is very expensive and takes multiple sessions.

Question 8

i had restalyne under eyes.  they were hollow. now under 1 eye hv lump(looks like a bag) doc injected 2x remove it. still there .bag worse thn hollow?

Accepted Answer

Restylane (dermal fillers): dna renSounds like the restylane (dermal fillers) is visible through the skin. Sometimes injection of hyaluronidase (which is an enzyme that removes hyaluronidate) can help.
Even though you may have had an undesired effect, the product is temporary and will eventually go away.
Massaging can help, but please do it under the direction of a board certified plastic surgeon.
In the future, ask for Restylane (dermal fillers) Silk.

Question 9

i had juvederm injected under my eyes 2.5 years ago. i was left bruised and swollen. i still have swelling and pain under 1 eye. is it related?

Accepted Answer

Might be: Juvederm usually doesn't last that long but you may have had an inflammatory reaction leading to scarring. You should contact whoever injected it for an evaluation or consult with a doctor who has a lot of experience with injecting fillers.

Question 10

allergic conjunctivitis on eyes, if i get allergy injection therapy, will it  be injected on eye or another bodypart ? n how long the theraphy i should?

Accepted Answer

In the arm: Like most injections/vaccinations, these are given in the upper arm.  Allergy shots can take up to 2 years to become effective.  Allergy therapy is also given as a liquid administered under the tongue.
