Question 1

Intra eye infection: This means that an active infection is inside the eye. This can be from something that spread from a foreign body that got into the eyeor developed after eye surgery. It also could be metastatic spread from another part of the body or even from an std.

Question 2

what is the treatment for infection of the back of the eye?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause: Infextiins inside the eye, or within the retina in the back of the eye are not common, and have many causes. Some respond to antibiotics, some need antivirals....You need to have an eye doctor tell i the cause, then the appropriate treatment.

Question 3

i had a chemical infection 8yrs back in my eye.now i feel something in my eye, when the lid touches to the upper/lower part in the eye. what is that ?

Accepted Answer

Adhesion?: I assume you mean a chemical burn 8 years back. Chemical burns, particularly the more severe ones, can damage the eye membrane (conjunctiva) and cause scarring. Sometimes the area of scarring and repair tissue forms adhesions (gets stuck to) a part of the covering eyelid. These develop very slowly because the eyelid moves so much. Its worth having an eye doctor take a look.

Question 4

i feel pain on my right eye. it's like the pain is behind the eye and on top of it. is it some kind of infection?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Infection is one possible reason for this pain.  There are many other possibilties.  See an ophthalmologist to evaluate this.

Question 5

mention the eye infections caused in baby's health?

Accepted Answer

Causes of pink eye: Bacterial infections, viral infections, allergies, and irritation or injury can all cause "pink eye" or conjunctivitis. Bacterial conjunctivitis causes eye redness, thick yellow or green eye drainage, swollen lids, and eye can be matting.  This is the only type of eye infection which responds to antibiotic drops.  See your baby's doctor to determine which treatment is best.

Question 6

if you cried a lot and your eyes become swollen, will it cause anything to the eye like infection or both eyes looking at different direction?

Accepted Answer

No: Crying with excessive tearing certainly can cause yours eyes to get red and your eyelids to get puffy. The mere act of crying should not increase your chance of infection or most definitely, not cause double vision. If you are blowing your nose ; wipingy our eyes, don't contaminate your eyes with external secretions that theoretically could infect your eyes.

Question 7

hpv infection in the eye can cause eye cancer?

Accepted Answer

Hpv infection: Hpv infection of the conjunctiva of the eye can lead to squamous cell carcinoma.

Question 8

i had eye infection in september the eye infected is still small and has not returned back to the normal size?

Accepted Answer

Unusual: May not be an infection, but rather an ocular inflammation with a smaller pupil size. You need an  exam to rule out uveitis, episcleritis, or other inflammatory eye conditions.

Question 9

i have what seems to be an irritating eye infection with slight discomfort behind the eye. i have a wide pink and yellow triangle shape band that starts wide from the tearduct and ends in a point on the side of my iris. brolen doesnt help it. help?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests, including culture of the affected part. It would be prudent to see your doctor, preferably an ophthalmologist. Wish you good health!

Question 10
