Question 1

can there be any eye diseases that can result in death?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are some malignancies of the eyes which can lead to death if not treated.  All other eye diseases may lead to blindness and may be associated with systemic diseases that could be lethal.  Of course blindness may lead to accidents and suicide so the death is incidental but not caused directly.

Question 2

i want to donate my eye, kidney etc after my death. what are the formalities and where can i get this done?

Accepted Answer

Tell: Your family that this is your decision.   Then write your choice on your driver's license.

Question 3

hi, i am very afraid when i hear about someone's death.my palms and legs becomes cold and there is shortbreath and my eyes close down. plz help?

Accepted Answer

Talk to counselor or: Talk to your school counselor, or your parents (if you think they will be understanding).  Let someone know of your fear/phobia.  Yours is not uncommon at all, especially in your age group.  With some counseling and mostly talking about your fears, you will learn to breath and get through it.  No one likes to hear about death, trust me, but we develop coping mechanisms and you will too!  good luck.

Question 4

i get lot of sneezing everyday but im scared to death,if these violent sneeze(causing jerking forward of head)cause damage to my eye,especially retina?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Sneezing hard can cause a PVD or some hemorrhages either on the outside of your eye, the vitreous gel or your retina. Retinal hemorrhages from this are not very common. Please see your family doctor to look for a cause of your sneezing so you can try and lessen the attacks.

The very best of wishes.

Question 5

when someone taken off life support is dying and their eyes are closed, what causes twitching of the eyelids near the moment of death. it looks like they are trying to open their eyes?

Accepted Answer

: Spasm.  Muscles may still twitch for awhile after death for a bit as blood flow stops and they twitch as they die as well. Go to Wikipeida and read about muscle contraction and how it happens.

Question 6

i just going to ask sir/maam if ever my eyes is accidentaly were stitch and my eye ball were completely destroyed, is there a tendency that i died? bacause maybe theres a veins that is destroyed that can cause to death.?

Accepted Answer

: This question is difficult to understand. Please restate it.

Question 7

ive had numbness in both temples of my head, that gets worse when i sit down and goes away at times, also with clicking in my head and occasional pain in my right eye. what could this be? ive worried myself to death that it might be a tumor?

Accepted Answer

: These are not the signs of a tumor. They sound like functional symptoms. Keep yourself busy with some activity. If they persist please see your doc for a good exam. I think you will be fine

Question 8

i am very anxious/think bad things like impending death for me or my mom every day.heart rate went from 107-157 in 60 seconds, crying, blood shot eyes, tight chest for no reason at all. resent my boyfriend although hes great. all dr said is do yoga?

Accepted Answer

Hmmm....: In such situations, that could be all the doctor said, or it could be all that the patient remembers the doctor saying, or it could be just the part that the patient's brain decided to keep. Life is complex. Anyway, psychiatric symptoms need psychiatric solutions. One can ask her doctor about medications, probably short term at first. Also, finding a psychologist can be a helpful thing too.

Question 9

i have high lymphocytes, low neutrophils, normal wbc (4900) and normal sed rate.  i'm scared to death i have cancer. i had a corneal transplant 4 months ago and use steroidal eye drops 4 times a day.   the blood tests were discovered because i felt like i

Accepted Answer

Take : Take a deep breath! call your doctor and explain your anxiety about these laboratory findings; he or she will be able to give you more information pertinent to you than any of us can here on this board.  However, from what you describe, it seems very unlikely that you have cancer.

There are many benign causes of changes in the numbers of lymphocytes and neutrophils.  The necessary evaluation depends on whether the absolute numbers of these cells, the alc and anc, respectively, are changed or whether it is only a relative percentage difference from the norm without any significant changes in the absolute numbers of these cells.  These changes can be caused by medications, an infection, thyroid changes, and even autoimmune changes.

If the results persist, you may want to ask your doctor for a referral to a hematologist to get to the bottom of the matter and put your mind at ease.

Question 10

how can  i have longer eye lashes?

Accepted Answer

Latisse (bimatoprost): Is probably the best way to make your lashes grow. It is a prescription  to use on the  eye lashes every night.
