Question 4

can you tel me why is that a 19days old kids one eye ball is  not moving ?

Accepted Answer

Evaluate: An infant's eyes dont always move together and might make it appear that one is not moving at all. I would definitely see your physician for a further investigation as this could be something more concerning.

Question 5

when moving eye from right to left notice a streak of light in right eye in right side of periphery. only when moving fast.

Accepted Answer

See eye doctor: This is something which should not be ignored. See an eye doctor soon.

Question 6

flickers at eye corners n strange lights - more so after moving from light to dark or physical exertion.checked retina, lattice ok. tests n diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Photopsias: Lattice degeneration shouldn't account for your symptoms by itself. You are at risk for future retinal tears and detachment, though. You already told me that there is no evidence of retinal detachment. If after a thorough exam, your ophthalmologist has found no etiology, then idiopathic vitreous floaters should be diagnosed. The floaters may become less noticeable or resolve over time.

Question 7

hello, i have been doubting my vision lately. it seems as if something is covering my eyes. when i say this i mean like i see hazes around light bulbs that seem to be moving. as if i have a very small oil dot on my eye moving and covering me.

Accepted Answer

Ocular exam: Please start with a visit to a specialist who can examine your eyes, determine ocular pressure and retinal health. Please see a specialist right away.

Question 8

is it normal to see white sparkles when turning head to the side or moving eye to side?

Accepted Answer

No: The 2 main sources of flashing lights with eye movement are vitreous detachment and retinal detachment. A vitreous detachment is common and benign. A retinal detachment is much more serious. You should be evaluated by an eye md, especially of this is new or associated with seeing floaters.

Question 9

i see things moving in the corner of my eye even though they aren't. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person.  He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Question 10

see black speck in front of eye moving from centre to outer eye.  3 times a day, outside constant?

Accepted Answer

Seek dilated exam : Doyou have associated flashing lights or curtain covering a segment of your vision?  I suggest getting a dilated eye exam by your eye professional.
