Question 1

can u fix wide set eyes . i really can't look people in the eyes because my eyes are spaced apart is there any way to make them closer in ?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes: If you mean that one eye or both are misaligned such that the eyes don't point at the same target together (called exotropia,  a form of strabismus) then yes.  Eye muscle surgery is commonly performed both to improve cosmetic results &amp; to reduce any double vision. Otherwise, if distance between pupils is more than average &amp; eyes are straight, surgery is generally not recommended for this situation

Question 2

last night i was laying on deck and when i look sideways at the moon with my both eyes i saw the moon apart double. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No: No, your eyes need to have time to converge and when looking laterally that can be difficult.

Question 3

my eyes are getting further apart, specifically my pupils. it looks like i'm looking at different sides at the same time but it has no effect on my vision. 2 weeks ago my pupillooked normal but now they are further apart and its looks weird. any fix?

Accepted Answer

Eye deviation : you may be having strabismus. The best way to assess and treat  is to be seen by an ophthalmologist -

Question 4

are wide side eyes a bad thing?

Accepted Answer

Please clarify: Not sure what you mean by "wide side eyes". If you meant "wide set eyes", meaning the eyes are farther apart than average, this is not a bad thing, just a normal variation in facial anatomy.

Question 5

when do i need to seek medical help for mattery eyes?

Accepted Answer

Vision, symptoms: If you have mattery eyes, it can be due to tear deficiency, blepharitis (which is like eyelid dandruff) or something more serious.  Seek an ophthalmologist if the vision is affected, the eyes hurt, there is pus, lashes are falling out , there is chronic redness, or the condition persists.

Question 6

feeling weight on eyes. what does it means medically?

Accepted Answer

Not really weight: Your eyes may have a heavy/pressure feeling, but this rarely means that real pressure is building in your eye (glaucoma).  The main reasons for this are that your eye surface is dry/irritated, or that you're getting eyestrain from trying to do near vision work.  This latter condition is an age-related focus dysfunction (presbyopia) that can be fixed with glasses.  See your doctor just to be safe.

Question 7

please help! what is the medical term for seeing stars in front of your eyes?

Accepted Answer

Photopsias: Photopsias are light flashes originating from mechanical stimulation of the retina.  There are a variety of causes.  The classic "seeing stars" comes from a direct hit.  There is no actual term for this but photopsias will do as an alternative.

Question 8

is there a medical term for eyes that can change between blue, green and brown?

Accepted Answer

No such thing: Eyes do not change color.  Some hazel or green eyes will appear to be different when certain colors are worn, but they do not actually change color.

Question 9

dr, my eyes becomes teary during the day when l try to read small letters infront of me.
should l seek medical advise.

Accepted Answer

Reading glasses: Please try reading glasses and saline rinses. Follow up with your optometrist. An eye exam, avoiding smoke, dust and other irritants is recommended.

Question 10

is there any medical term to describe "difficulty in fantasizing things" means when we close eyes and reminds past memories.

Accepted Answer

Hope more reply too: There could be various reasons for such a difficulty, but in psychotherapy some might call it resistance or defensiveness. Some forms of brain damage could result in such a problem too. It's also possible that some may never develop the skill at all due to intellectual deficits or cultural values. Borderline trauma at Piaget's stage VI can do it.
