Question 1

please let me know if there is any cure for traumatic mydriasis?

Accepted Answer

No cure: Sometimes drops can shrink the pupil but they do not work in most cases of traumatic mydriasis.  A colored contact lens to cover the dilated pupil is a reasonable way to deal with this problem.

Dilated pupil: Traumatic mydriasis is when the pupil is dilated or larger than normal after an eye injury. This can occur after certain types of trauma as the muscles that cause constriction of the iris can be damaged.

NUMBER OF CHOICES: Pharmacological approaches include ritalin, nuvigil, adderall, modafanil, to enhance alertness and attention, but other approaches include rehab programs of speech therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapies, and even biofeedback.  Although there is little benefit for the memory enhancing agents used in alzheimer's, and occasional pt may be helped by galantamine (galantamine hydrobromide).

Shoulder dislocation: Recurrent shoulder dislocation requires an MRI and likely surgery after a consult with ortho. All the best.

Question 7

if a person gets blunt eye trauma but rather visits opthalmologist after 15 days of injury.whats the outlook if they have traumatic uveitis/iritis/hyphema.can you still recover without permanent damage to optic nerve if treatment starts at this stage?

Accepted Answer

: From your description, sounds like injury involved anterior eye, and if accurate, there would be NO damage to optic nerve or retina.  Ask your ophthalmologist if there is any sign of permanency at this point.

Question 8

is alternative treatment safe or will it cause more harm than benefit? i am a 90% rated disabled vet due to a traumatic brain injury i recieved in the military which led to seizures, cluster headaches, and a miserable quality of living on high dose narcot

Accepted Answer

First : First off, i would like to thank you for your service to our country.  I can't tell you if the benefits from medical marijuana outweigh the risks in your particular case there can be very significant deterimental effects from marijuana. 
  I would like to suggest another option, which is now available at some va medical centers-. Medical acupuncture. This is performed by a physician.  So many of our wounded warriors are obtunded by massive use of opiates to control their pain. There life can literally revolve around physical and emotional pain and it's treatment.
    Medical acupuncture is safe, effective and pretty non-invasive.  It is now being used at military treatment facilities as well as in the battlefield.  There are protocols for traumatic brain injuries, headache pain, post traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, ringing in the ears, loss of balance and more. I am using acupuncture at the military treatment facility that i work at. It provides hope and a real vehicle for recovery. God bless.

Question 9

could a traumatic birth (umbilical cord wrapped around the infants neck and almost dying/mother had preeclampsia and also almost died) cause the baby to develop severe, treatment resistant obsessive compulsive disorder as a toddler/in childhood?

Accepted Answer

: I can't put the two issues together as cause and effect. What I have seen with such a history is mild disorders of movement/CP as the brain areas controlling movement are more susceptible to that sort of injury.

Question 10

is there any cure for chronic mydriasis?

Accepted Answer

Eye drops: Some people with chronic mydriasis use an eye drop called Pilocarpine to constrict the pupil.  See an ophthalmologist to learn about the risks and benefits of using this drug.
