Question 1

the pupils in my eyes don't react, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem : You probably have very small pupils which don't appear to react as they are starting from a very small diameter. You can test reaction by setting up a mirror and quickly going from a bit of time in a dark room and then looking to see what happens when the lights go on.  I assume you are not taking any drugs with pupillary effects.

Question 2

i think my eyes don't react to the light properly. seem to stay dilated?

Accepted Answer

Congenital.: You may have a congenital defect in one or both eyes known as an adie's pupil. This is a condition where the iris sphincter muscle does not function symmetrically in the circumference of the iris resulting in a slower constriction of the iris and the persistence of dilation or an irregular pupil or asymmetric pupils referred to as anisicoria. Others just have congenital symmetric pupil enlargement.

Question 3

sulfuric acid just splashed into my dads eyes and they were badly injured. doc says the chemical will start reacting after some days. plz suggest..

Accepted Answer

Start reacting?: I am not sure what start reacting means.  Acid burns are dramatic, painful and sulfuric acid is one of the more dangerous.  HOwever, acid burns coagulate tissue which blocks penetration, so unless the acid was very concentrated, your did will probably do OK in the long run.  I hope he has seen an ophthalmologist (not optometrist) and will be received proper topical medical care.

Question 4

when i go in house with dog (lots of hair all over) i react- eyes, throat, etc. other house with different dog, im ok. possible allergic to one breed?

Accepted Answer

No: All breeds of dogs make allergen. Different individual animals make different amount of allergens.

Question 5

when i put in eye drops (lubricant, antihistamine, any kind) eyes "react" and burn, sting, get watery and get red before clearing up. why?

Accepted Answer

Can happen: Several eye drops are known to cause stinging or burning in eye when initially applied. This can make you feel that eye seems to be more red. As long as the symptoms go away, I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Question 6

using qbrexza for excessive sweating. left pupil mildly dilated. its been for more than a week. doctor wasnt worried. today i woke up and its completely dilated and wont react to light. i am so careful not to touch eyes. im on blood thinners .?

Accepted Answer

: Is the doctor you're referring to an ophthalmologist?  Pupils are supposed to react to light. Yours doesn't. It could be a side effect of qbrexza, but I think you should be examined&amp; advised by an ophthalmologist to be sure especially since it's only one pupil that is fixed,dilated&amp; doesn't respond to light.

Question 7

how does a decaying eye react to sunlight?

Accepted Answer

"Decaying"?: Not sure what you mean! if an eye is inflamed or infected, sunlight will cause discomfort and tearing. This light sensitivity is called photophobia.

Question 8

underneath my eye really hurts and stings, off and on and it started yesterday. i did use extra concealer the other day. is that just reacting?

Accepted Answer

Eyes R special!: You may notice many products warning about avoiding use near eyes. That area is all quite sensitive. Even more for some folk. So, yes - it may relate to your product. Vanity can be costly and we need to give thought to our actual attractiveness vs masks. Give the skin a clean makeup-free time, take a Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for a few days or if it gets worse, see your Dr. Best!

Question 9

my left eyelid looses strength at times & becomes really slow reacting, & takes a long time to open & close properly compared to the other one, its started happening in my right eye i get this strange feeling in my face when it happens im 31?

Accepted Answer

: this is not normal and requires an exam by an Ophthalmologist to exclude a number of underlying diseases.

Question 10

some people react badly to lasik eye surgery. why is that?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: There are a ton of reasons why lasik complications can occur ranging from being a poor candidate in the first place (something about you or your eyes that made you not a great candidate for the surgery) to intraoperative complications to simple bad luck.  Remember, no surgical procedure has a 100% success rate.
