Hello. I can understand your concern, and it is completely understandable to feel overwhelmed when symptoms start affecting something as sensitive as your eyes. For your ocular rosacea, this typically requires: Warm compresses and lid hygiene with diluted baby shampoo, artificial tears (preservative-free). Sometimes oral antibiotics, which often work better for eye symptoms than topical treatments. In severe cases, Cyclosporine eye drops can be used. Regarding hormonal connections, some women do find that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help stabilize rosacea symptoms by reducing hot flashes and hormonal fluctuations.
Hello, I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries. I can understand your situation and your problem. I completely understand your anxiety, and it is very common, so do not worry about that. As far as your mother-in-law is concerned, if she has cataracts now and her vision is blurry, it largely depends on the stage of her cataracts and how much her vision is affected. If she is in the early stages, she may be able to manage most of her activities for months or even a year or two. However, it is important to understand that everyone is different, and cataract progression cannot be predicted; it will definitely progress with age and can accelerate if she has other conditions like diabetes.
Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.I read your query and can understand your concern.Myopia (a vision problem in which close objects look clear but distant objects appear blurry) is an extremely common problem. There are also other conditions like astigmatism (blurred vision) and hypermetropia (a vision problem in which distant objects may be seen more clearly than close ones). All three of these can lead to blurry vision at a distance.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. It sounds uncomfortable and concerning to have your undereye suddenly get sore, swollen, and painful when you blink, especially after that sharp pain you felt earlier. When something like this happens to your eye, it is natural to feel worried. From your description, it could be a few things: Possible causes of your eye discomfort - Infection around the eye (cellulitis): This is a common concern.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Hello, Now that you have been diagnosed with myopia(difficulty seeing distant objects clearly due to the eye's elongated shape), there is really nothing to worry about as it is an extremely common condition. Since you are around 30 years old, your myopia likely will not progress much, and I assume your prescription is not very strong. Myopia means difficulty focusing on distant objects, which can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. If you prefer not to wear them, there are surgical options like LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is Laser eye surgery to reshape the cornea for vision correction, PRK(photorefractive keratectomy) is laser surgery to reshape the cornea for vision correction, without creating a flap as in LASIK.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I hope you are otherwise hale and hearty. I have understood your query, and I would like to tell you that there is nothing really to be anxious about. Prozac or, generically, Fluoxetine can, in the long run, cause pigmentation of the skin. There have, however, been no or very few reports of it affecting the color of our eyes.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. I understand your concern about myopia, which can indeed be quite frustrating, as one feels nearly blind without glasses or contact lenses. You have mentioned that you are 43 years old, and typically, myopia does not progress significantly at this age. Given that you have a thick prescription, I am assuming your power is above -4 or -5.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Although I can understand your concern, it is worrying if you find out that you cannot see things far away. It can be a normal thing, meaning you may just require glasses because you are still just 21 years of age, and at your age, needing glasses to look at distant objects is perfectly acceptable, especially in today's day and age where screen time has become the new normal. So I would advise you to get your eyes checked and perhaps get glasses, or if you do not like glasses, you can even wear contact lenses. Should there be any other concern? Well, that has to be addressed after a checkup in person.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your history, and it is a very common concern I see in my day-to-day practice, most probably due to muscae volitantes. Seeing floaters, after images of objects, etc., is very common, and these are usually self-resolving, like in your case as well. I would have recommended a fundus or retinal examination to alleviate your concern, but I see you have already undergone those examinations, and I am happy to know they are all normal.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. I had taken a look at the image (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) there is nothing to worry about. Floaters are extremely common. Almost everyone at some point in their lives sees it.
