Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks for writing in. I had a look at the photo (attachment removed to protect patient identity) you sent. It is a bit blurry, but it looks like a subconjunctival hemorrhage. It can occur in the following scenarios: If she inadvertently injures her eye in her sleep.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks for writing in. Flashes of light without any symptoms of eye pain or headache usually indicate the irritation of retina, which is being pulled on often by the vitreous a jelly-like substance inside the eyeball. The ophthalmologist should check out persistent flashes. They will dilate your pupils and see if there are any retinal holes or breaks due to the vitreous pulling effect.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The appearance of sunken eyes could be a relative thing depending on various factors like lack of normal sleep patterns, hydration if you are not consuming enough water, recent weight loss, anemia and vitamin and mineral deficiencies like vitamin C, K or iron, eating disorders where enough nutrition is not being absorbed. Do you have any other symptoms like diarrhea, intolerance to heat or cold, tremors? This could indicate an underlying systemic condition. What kind of power did you have in childhood? Was it myopia (minus power) or hypermetropia (plus power)? Hypermetropic people tend to have smaller eyeballs which can add to the sunken appearance especially as you grow bigger. You will need to meet an ophthalmologist if you suspect that your eyesight is drastically reducing recently as power usually does not change so much after 21 years of age unless there is some problem in the eye or in the body.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.Thanks for writing in. I had a look at the photo (attachment removed to protect patient identity) you sent, and it looks like a subconjunctival hemorrhage. It can occur in scenarios, such as if you inadvertently injure your eye in your sleep. If you suffer from high blood pressure, a blood vessel can burst as the conjunctiva vessels are fragile.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have seen your reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity), but unfortunately, the photo of the eyes is too blurry to appreciate. I can only note that the eyes look congested, but I cannot appreciate the blood clot that the doctor has said she has. However, I did notice that her eyes looked watery. She might have developed infective conjunctivitis in both eyes.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks for writing in. I understand your concern. Do you tend to develop dandruff as well? People who have that tendency also develop blepharitis of the eyelids. There are two general types of blepharitis: squamous, common with dandruff, and the other is ulcerative type.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I am sorry to hear about your son's problem. I have gone through the photo that you sent (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It seems to be an infection of the tear drainage sac. I can confirm it, and I need a further medical history of your child.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. To answer your question, a single sip of a caffeinated drink will not elevate your eye pressure. So you need not get perturbed about it, especially if your intraocular pressure is normal. Caffeine, when consumed in large amounts, has been thought to increase the aqueous production in the eye, which can increase eye pressure in people whose aqueous drainage is compromised. But this is unlikely to occur in normal eyes with normal trabecular meshwork.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. For having a recurrent chalazion, you can take an injection of Triamcinolone, and it is a good option. Repeated surgical removal causes damage to the tissues. You need to consult an ophthalmologist to have an injection if it bothers you cosmetically.
