Question 1

some objects similar to fiber or string are afloat in my eyes from many years ago. what are these objects ? what is treatment? isn't it dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Floaters: They are most likely what are known as floaters. Floaters are condensations within the vitreous gel in the center of the eye. They can be annoying, but are usually not a significant problem. If you develop a shower of new floaters, particularly if seen with light flashes, that could indicate that you are developing a retinal tear or detachment, and you should be seen by an ophthalmologist asap.

Question 2

male. 9 years old. accidentally hit his eyes by edge of a book. can't open his eyes. hurts so much. corneal injuries in 2 spot. how is the treatment?

Accepted Answer

See Eye doctor ASAP: If there are corneal injuries then these may not improve without treatment from an ophthalmologist. The eye doctor will perform a special exam to see if there are any abrasions or ulcers.

Question 3

i have taken omnacortil for treatment of retina of my eyes. but after certain time my weight is gained and don't loose. it is 85 kg. please treatment ?

Accepted Answer

Steroid induced: weight gain. If possible discuss with treating physician if any steroid sparing drug is appropriate. Also see a weight loss doctor for nutritional, exercise, emotional counseling and  appropriate weight management medication if indicated.

Question 4

what is the treatment for drooping of eyes?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info here: It depends on what you mean by "drooping eyes"...What part droops? When did it start?
Does it effect vision? Are there other medical issues/problems? Much more info is needed before diagnosis or treatment recommendation could even be attempted.
I would strongly recommend starting with a visit to your family doc for a good history and physical exam..

Question 5

where can i go for emergency eye treatment?

Accepted Answer

Emergency Department: Emergency physicians can diagnose and treat eye emergencies.  I would start there.

Question 6

what is the best treatment for loose skin around the eyes?

Accepted Answer

Variable: 10% Vitamin C cream has been shown to help. We currently offer microneedling with platelet rich plasma for this problem. Do not let anyone use filler or Botox in this area. Platelet Rich Plasma will rejuvenate this skin and can be combined with an entire facial treatment using PRP.

Question 7

what is best otc treatment for dry eyes? got that way when i hit 80.

Accepted Answer

Artificial Tears: Artificial tears can help the discomfort of dry eyes.   They should be available in any drug store.  Please be sure to be checked by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) to be sure you're right that it's simply dry eyes.

Question 8

what is the treatment for dark circles below eyes?what should be do to remove them?

Accepted Answer

Nothing easy: Some think cucumber slices can help. No known medication will reduce this.  It is sometimes due to prominent vascular pattern under this thin skin.  And of course you can cover it with makeup.  If all else fails, discuss with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for a more permanent removal.

Question 9

what causes evaporate dry eyes. what treatment do you normally need. any complete cure?

Accepted Answer

Evaporative: In evaporative dry eye, there is a deficient oil layer that prevents evaporation. So, the tears clear too rapidly from the ocular surface. Some otc drops for this include systane balance and refresh optive advanced. Taking oral omega-3 supplements and improving oil gland function with lid hygiene and warm compresses can help as well. Rosacea can worsen this. Other types of tears may be needed.

Question 10

there is green swelling underneath my eyes from a botched botox treatment. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

A bruise: Bruising can happen any time a needle is used. Small bruises can look a little green as they resolve, but they generally go away without any treatment, assuming the needle caused the bruise. (fillers such as juvederm/restylane can cause color changes without bruising). The bruise is not likely to affect the final outcome. Just give it a little time.
