yellow spots in both eyes near the white area?

Question

What to do if I have noticed yellow spots on my eyes and on my skin how can I cure this ?

Answer 1

Pinguecula: Sounds like a pinguecula, which is a deposit/build up on the white part of the eye (sclera) due to uv light and dryness of the eyes. You can use artificial tears, and use a cap and/or sunglasses when outdoors.

Answer 2

Pingueculum : These yellowish spots usually located at the 3 & 9 o'clock positions on the conjunctiva represent solar elastosis, changes that occur in the elastic tissues in the conj. Which occur by chronic sun, wind, dusty environmental conditions. Sunglasses, artificial tears will help protect your eyes during these dry irritation exposures. If particularly chronically irritated, they transform to pterygium.

Answer 3

Blurry vision: Return of vision back to baseline after an episode of photosensitivity depends on the cause of the light sensitivity. You should go see an eye doctor is your vision is worsening or not improving.

Answer 4

Several minutes: Following a photosensitivity event (e.g. a very bright flash in pitch dark) , it usually takes 60-180 seconds for sight to recover. In some people it take longer and some less but those are the average ranges. This is why some law enforcement officers are taught to close one eye if they expect to have to discharge their firearm at night; the closed eye will not be effected by the bright flash.

Answer 5

Focusing: Crystalline structure sitting behind the pupil opening that bends light to focus it on the retina. It accommodates to adjust to see things near and far and works together with the cornea as the refractive power of our eye.

Answer 6

Focusing element: Normal eyes have a lens inside which helps provide a focused image on the back of the eye. It also in younger people is adjustable for focusing near and far.

Answer 7

Vision loss: Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to a number of problems in the eye including, enlargement of blood vessels, overgrowth of blood vessels, bleeding in the eye, glaucoma and cataracts. All of these changes can lead to permanent vision loss. The key to preventing these changes is to control you blood sugar and to get yearly eye exams which include dilation, exam of the retina and check of eye pressure.

Answer 8

Excess glucose: Excess blood glucose can damage various tissues if persistent exposure is present. The tissues that seem particularly sensitive to excess glucose exposure are kidneys, nerves (esp lower extremities), and eyes. The retina cells are constantly regenerating, but this process is disrupted by persistent excess glucose in the blood that feeds the retina.

Answer 9

Eye exam, symptoms: It is recommended to do periodic eye exam to be fully evaluated. Diabetic retinopathy may be a slow process with no initial symptoms, so ophtholmologic exam will reveal at what stage your eyes are and will compare on the follow up exam. However if you are experiencing symptoms, see your doctor soon at any time.

Answer 10

Check with eye MD: A physician should dilate the eyes and examine the retina, and rest of eye. Minimum, once per year.

Answer 11

Autosomal dominant: Optic atrophy type 1 (opa1, or kjer type optic atrophy) causes a slow loss of vision in both eyes beginning in early childhood which varies but is usually moderate, so that it seldom causes total blindness. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant way, so usually either one or the other parent of the affected person also has the condition, though spontaneous mutation may also occur and cause it.

Answer 12

Optic atrophy type 1: Optic atrophy type 1 is a condition that affects vision. Individuals with this condition have progressive vision loss that typically begins within the first decade of life. The severity of the vision loss varies widely among affected people, even among members of the same family. People with this condition can range from having nearly normal vision to complete blindness. The vision loss usually pr.
