Question 1

what happens to your eyes if you are in the dark for a long period of time and then exposed to light?

Accepted Answer

Nothing dangerous: Eyes adapt to both light and dark fairly easily. In the dark, the pupils dilate to allow in whatever light there might be, and the retina's dark-seeing receptors (rods) are capturing the images you see. Once you enter the light, the pupils constrict rapidly and forcefully which may cause temporary discomfort. You may also find things excessively bright, but there is no danger in healthy eyes.

Question 2

what makes eye twich over a long period of time, probably two months or so?

Accepted Answer

Twitching eye: You may have developed a tic,  an allergy or possible foreign body. Consult your eye doctor.

Question 3

my right eye had suddenly got blurry. as if you looked into bright light for a long period of time. but its been occuring for a few hours now.

Accepted Answer

See someone today: There can many issues that cause this.Need to see someone soon.Do not take any chances with your eyesight.Can be something simple such as allergies or a migraine but something more serious such as retinal detachment,stroke etc.

Question 4

if you have eye floaters do you eventually go blind(over a long period of time)?

Accepted Answer

NO: Eye floaters are extremely common- as people get older they become more and more common. They are usually benign and not a sign of impending blindness, though if you suddenly get a lot at once they could be a sign of a serious problem. Age 21 is young to have floaters- i would consider it a sign that you need to take antioxidants, see

Question 5

if you cross eyes for a long period of time, will it stay like that?

Accepted Answer

Most likely no: As far as strabismus causes crossing your eyes is not one of the causes of this problem. There are neurological, traumatic, congenital and many other causes of strabismus.

Question 6

when i lay down for a short or long period of time and i get up, i get really lightheaded and my eyes black out a few seconds, what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Orthostasis.: Sounds like your blood pressure temporarily drops when you rise.  This is called orthostasis and has a variety of causes but is generally due to low circulating blood volume or inadequate response of your autonomic nervous system to changes in posture.  If you are adequately hydrated and have enough salt on board and your symptoms persist you may need to see your doc to consider further testing.

Question 7

a lot of eye motion for a long period of time makes me dizzy and sometimes vertigo even on car rides if it turns alot quickly movements what to do?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: Some dizziness can be brought on by discoordination at the ear/eye/balance centers of the body and can respond to some simple forms of treatment such as anti-dizziness medications, exercises to restore head balance, and allergy treatments.  Some conditions are from more severe causes such as nervous system disorders or muscular conditions.  Get a thorough evaluation to be sure. Good health to you!

Question 8

hello, my head has been feeling heavy for 3 days in a row now but no fever. i really like to listen to music with high volume on before, i still do listen with loud music on until now but not in a long period of time anymore?

Accepted Answer

: There can be many reasons for that. If you are otherwise well try some Tylenol. Listening to loud music will affect your hearing in the long run. Suggest you lower the volume- might help with the headache too. If not better in a few days see MD. Hope you feel better.

Question 9

have difficulty when i lay down on the floor, stand up too long or head tilt for long period of time i get dizzy, lightheaded sometimes vertigo help.

Accepted Answer

Not normal: This description suggests a possible vascular phenomenon but it could also be related to inner ear or neurological factors.  Recommend you see your doctor for evaluation.

Question 10

drinking to much beer, for long period of time, then breaks out in red rash all over body, which dries to a head few days later, any idea what it is ?

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be lab tests. Quit drinking alcohol and see your doctor before you cause irreversible injury to your organs.
