Question 1

will stim cell therapy help herpes affecting eyes?

Accepted Answer

Not used: Stem cell treatment is not current used for herpes.  It is hard to imagine how the effect of these cells might be used in this condition but perhaps in the future it might be useful to combat this infection.  There are good agents for herpes and if you have this condition your ophthalmologist can prescribe them for you.

Question 2

what is difference between stye and meibomian affecting eyes?

Accepted Answer

Stye: A stye is any lump that forms in your eyelids. There are two types. A hordoleum is a blockage of a sweat gland in the lower eyelid. A chelazian is a blockage in the meibomian gland of the upper eyelid. All are treated the same. Gentle wiping/massage of the edge of the affected lid helps to remove crusts and bacteria and loosen the blockage and prevent infection. Warm compresses help to drain them.

Question 3

cause of a headache affecting eyes and ears?

Accepted Answer

Can't say for sure.:  Any history of sinus headaches or vascular/ migraine headaches? If this is a recurrent issue would recommend medical assessment.

Question 4

flu affecting eyes ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The virus that causes flu and colds can affect the eyes. The symptoms can be treated with artificial tears and cold compresses, but it has to 'run its course'.

Question 5

is my computer affecting eyes?

Accepted Answer

Tired Eyes: Excessive computer use without taking any breaks can cause eye fatigue, but no harm.  Also when we use the computer we tend to stare and not blink enough so the eyes get dry with symptoms of tiredness, sandy feeling, grittiness, etc.

Question 6

allergy affecting eyes,very swollen 2 wks./2 tubes neomycin.poly.dexamet eye ointment 3xday til tubes empty/not healing/severe groin rash/connection?

Accepted Answer

Needs re-evaluation : Can't really offer a provisional diagnosis or find a connection between your eye symptoms and the groin rash, without more history and good physical examination, kindly see your doctor again or go to urgent care, take care

Question 7

26 years old. last year my face skin became dry from under eyes and  cheeks..and after one day the dryness became dark spots.plz suggest any treatment?

Accepted Answer

Many options: This sounds likely to be a condition called post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation.  Certain laser treatments, prescription skincare or chemical peels can help fade these spots.  See an experienced aesthetic skincare specialist, because your ethnicity and skin type is important in choosing the right treatment.

Question 8

hello doctor.i just want to know why one of the eyes get smaller and what is the cause for it. is it a bigger problem?  is there any treatment for it?

Accepted Answer

Below: this is the best I found for you on the internet
Most people who come to me with a complaint that one eye is getting smaller are actually noticing a lowering of the upper eyelid. This can come from neurologic (nerve) problems, weakness of the muscle and/or its tendon, disinsertion of the tendon (common as we age), excess upper eyelid skin (sometimes associated with fat pad prolapse), or weakness and drooping of the forehead. Please consult your ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.) who can examine you and recommend an appropriate course of action.

At the same time, he or she can actually measure to see if the eye is truly sunken. This can sometimes occur after an eye injury, weeks to months later, but is otherwise rare. After a Bell's Palsy, the appearance of a sunken eye can be noted.

Finally, sometimes the opposite eye is bulging, making the other eye seem to be sunken. Commonly, this is a sign of Grave's disease, but can also be caused by space-occupying disorders of the orbit (eye socket).

Again, simple examination by an ophthalmologist can determine what's causing your eye to appear smaller, or whether you indeed have a smaller eye (which is almost never actually present).

Question 9

how can i tell if i have ptosis or natural? one eyes is smaller than the other. younger, i had big eyes but as i grew, it got smaller. why? treatment?

Accepted Answer

Assessment: Ptosis has to do with drooping of lid. Recommend eye evaluation to determine if there is a medical problem or if there is some minor asymmetry.

Question 10

will an eyelid lift treatment help to remove the dark circles under my eyes? i am curious about having an eyelid lift done to help remove the bags under my eyes. i also have dark circles under my eyes and i am hoping that this one procedure can help take

Accepted Answer

The : The cause of dark circles under the eyes is usually related to the skin itself. As a result a blepharoplasty or eyelid tuck to remove the bags under your eyes won't typically improve this. It is very difficult to improve this skin pigmentation issue.

However, in some cases the under eye darkness is due to shadowing in the area so a procedure that can smooth the area can improve this issue. Besides a blepharoplasty, I have found that improving the volume loss in the area under the eye can also help immensely with this problem. Techniques such as facial fat transfer or skin filler injections can be used to make these changes.
