Question 1

is it safe to use corticosteroids around the skin surrounding the eyes. outer corners of both eyes get eczema. thanks.

Accepted Answer

Eczema: I would use it as a last resort. Try Aquaphor several times a day and hope that helps.

Question 2

i'm seeing flashes in the corner of both eyes, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Ocular migraines!: Ocular migraines are a form of migraines that take place in the occipital cortex (part of the brain that interprets/controls vision).  They lack the severe headache as common migraines.  The symptoms are usually all or mostly visual and are typically described as flashing of light or ziz-zag lights in the vision.  They usually last less than 30 minutes and affect the vision out of both eyes.

Question 3

i have yellow colour to the corner of both eyes the corner closest to your nose im not a drinker and am tired alot ?

Accepted Answer

Could be jaundice?: Yellow Sclera can be due to High Bilirubin, a pigment handled by the liver. So you need  a medical check up of your liver. Any physician can run liver function tests(Liver profile) to look into this matter. If you are tired, it could be liver related or due to anemia, so a CBC along with Liver functions can give you/your doctor a pretty good idea about your health for a start.

Question 4

the corner of both eyes by the nose has a small like sty inthe corner. it is not a sty. i tried to remove it and it would not . what could it b.?

Accepted Answer

Puncta?: Sounds like you discovered your normal drainage path for our tears... You have an upper and lower lid puncta that are the openings to the drainage system!

Question 5

lying in bed, eyes closed, cough, and i can see white lights at the corner of both eyes. is it normal or should i get checked? (retina detached once)

Accepted Answer

See  ophthalmologist: This is usually the result of the vitreous (jelly portion of the inside of the eye) pulling on retina and causing bright light flashes.  In view of your history of retinal detachment, you should see your ophthalmologist

Question 6

i have 2 black spots/lines in the outer corner of my eyes, and they are only visible when i pull the lower lid down. they are in both eyes in the same spot(outer corner). they aren't inflamed, don't hurt, and not raised. no other symptoms, just black?

Accepted Answer

: They are almost like the benign moles on your skin, not uncommon at all. They had probably been there before but you did not see it.
You can observe them for now, only see an eye doctor if they change in shape or size.

Question 7

is slight pale yellow only on the inner corner white on both eyes normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You are probably observing a deposit termed a pingueculum - sort of a callus of the eye - a normal growth which protects this usually open part of the eye against wind, dust and uv light.  It has a yellow tint, can vary in size and is highlighted if the eye gets red or irritated.  This is a normal feature of eyes in the middle years.

Question 8

most mornings when i wake up i have a swollen looking bump in the corner of either both eyes or just one eye, that goes down thru the day. please help?

Accepted Answer

?Blocked lacrimal?: It is possible this is a blockage of drainage from the lacrimal ducts which produce tears. See an ophthalmologist and get this evaluated.  Good luck.

Question 9

i've had pain in my left eye & the inner corners & surrounding areas of both eyes. left eye turns inward when sleeping or waking up & is more painful.

Accepted Answer

Ans: Sounds like a few things going on. One is that it sounds like the ocular muscle is weak. You must see the opthomoligist for evaluation and treatment options

Question 10

my 6 yr old son has redness on inner corner of both eyes. he is also rubbing them and i can see some watery discharge as well. he has cough andfever. ?

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: Without a proper examination, your child cannot be properly diagnosed. The irritated red and itchy eyes could be allergies but given the nature of a cough and a fever it seems more likely that the child has an infection going on. It is most appropriate that you seek medical attention for the childcare.
