Lubricating drops: Try lubricating eye drops or gel available over the counter. The gel is best used at night, as it may blur your vision temporarily.

Question 3

i had lasik 2 weeks ago in both eyes.some days i wake up with a severe pain in my left eye,tears up & unclear vision temporarily.what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Eye Pain in the A.M.: Even perfect Lasik has symptoms after the treatment.
Dryer eyes can be one of them.
The eyes sometimes get the driest during the night and have pain and then tearing and the blurry symptoms from looking thru those tears ..

Tell your eye doctor if these symptoms get to be too much for you to tolerate....Keep using your drops.Keep your eye appointments

All connected : If you get out an anatomy picture of your head you will see that your throat, nasal passages, and eye sockets are all connected. So when you have fluid in one of those spaces it not infrequently migrates to another. So sorry but that's our anatomy. The good thing is that "colds" are time limited infections. It will get better on its own.

Question 5

periorbital hematoma/swollen black eye.
how to properly clean it? the eye lid is so swollen, can't open eye.  tears are drying and making the eyelids sticky and crusty.

help.

also red section on side of eyeball. will this clear up?

Accepted Answer

See Ophthalmology: I'm concerned that you need an eye exam with an eye specialist to make sure your globe (eyeball) was not ruptured, rule out an orbital fracture to make sure your vision is safe and to evaluate and treat an eye infection you may have developed. An eye doctor is needed to look deep into your eye and evaluate your retina too. Go to ER that has ophthalmology asap please.

Question 6

hello, i have had my left eye watering constantly for perhaps a week now, and wiping away tears/discharge has now irritated the skin around my eye. also, it has been painful to press on the inside corner of my eye for quite a few weeks, and i am unsure if this is related. i thought this could be allergies as my head does feel stuffy intermittently, but my new red eye socket (not the eye itself) has motivated me to ask.

thanks,

logan

left eye watering?

Accepted Answer

: You have an obstructed and possibly infected tear drainage system (dacryocystitis). The tears drain via tiny openings at the inside corner of each lid into a sac under the skin at the inside corner and then into the nasal cavity. You might feel a nodule when you press the inside corner. This has to be treated often with oral antibiotics along with eye drops, and sometimes a minor procedure.

Question 7

question about cataract surgery for my right eye.the cataract is advanced with 20/200 on the eye chart. after surgery, with a distance iol, would there be a big difference in clarity and colors, compared to the left eye , which is 20/50?

Accepted Answer

Generally not : blue light filtering lens may cause difficulty in color contrast perception

Question 8

my left eye hurts and underneath the eye is puffy?

Accepted Answer

Multiple causes: Sudden soreness and swelling of the eye or eyelids can have multiple causes. Most common would be a chalazion or a hordeolum (stye). Other infectious and inflammatory causes are possible, including conjunctivitis, iritis, sinusitis, etc. You can try a warm compress (clean washcloth rinsed with very warm tap water) for a day or two, but see an eye md promptly if the symptoms are not resolved soon.

Question 9

sometimes i feel a pain in my left eye. the pain is in the right side of my left eye or sometimes under the eye?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 10

i am 20. my vision in my left eye has been gone since childhood. i have been told it is not the eye itself. also there is no fixing the problem. why?

Accepted Answer

Amblyopia: Your brain never "learned" how to see out of that eye.  Usually the visual system matures around the age of 6 so if you haven't fixed the problem by then you are kind of out of luck.  This is why some kids have one eye patched when they're little-- it forces the brain to get the non-seeing eye to learn how to see.
