Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. According to the history and the photo you attached (the attachment was removed to protect patient identity). There is mild lid edema, conjunctival chemosis, and congestion seen. There is also a history of glandular fever for your friend. My top differential diagnosis would be pharyngoconjunctival fever.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Floaters are usually due to changes in vitreous (jelly in the back of the eye) when it starts liquefied and detached from retina. It often is the aging process after the 40s to 50s age, but in cases of trauma, surgery, or myopia, it can even be at an earlier age. As you got two risk factors injury or accident, myopia, floaters may be associated with flashes or a curtain infront if the vision. The important thing is to examine the retina because this vitreous detachment from the retina can create some hole or break in the retina that can lead to retinal detachment (not in all cases).
Hi Welcome to icliniq. Your prescription shows you have high myopic astigmatism. Your ophthalmologist must have examined your eyes properly. Usually glasses prescriptions can change upto age of 20 to 21 yrs so before that age no laser procedure is done to get rid from glasses. So you need to wear glasses upto that age. Other thing to rule out in high astigmatism is keratoconus in which your cornea starts turning into conical shape and can lead to decreased vision.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thank you for your query. May I know who diagnosed that for you? Have you undergone a complete eye examination and investigations by an ophthalmologist? Anybody can have glaucoma but some people are at higher risk if they have a family history of glaucoma, refractive myopia related to POAG (primary open-angle glaucoma), secondary glaucomas, etc. You would be worried that you have been diagnosed at a very younger age but getting diagnosed at an early stage is a good thing. Usually, glaucoma goes unnoticed and the patient presents at advanced stages, hence it is called the "silent thief of vision".
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.Intermittent exotropia is common in young people. One or both eyes go outward on and off commonly when they are inattentive, under stress or illness. But, if they got good fusion, then they keep their eyes straight by focusing on the target and can control exotropia. Intermittent exotropia can go as it is or can improve or sometimes, it decompensates with time and becomes permanent or constant exotropia.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. If you were wearing glasses for near and now you do not need glasses for near, then that means you are getting index myopia due to changes in your natural lenses. That is an early sign of cataract changes that you can see without near glasses and it is called second vision. As you are 70 years old, there must be some early cataract changes. If you are fine with glasses for distant vision, then it is fine until your vision is further deteriorated.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. It seems a small marginal chalazion. A chalazion is a swelling formed due to blockage of lipid producing glands in eyelids. The good thing is mostly these are painless (except when it gets infected). In most cases, it resolves spontaneously.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. There are different pathological causes of anisocoria, as you mentioned that you are taking medications, including Paxil (Paroxetine). It means drug levels are changed in blood and its effect on pupil size. If you are not having any problem, there is nothing to worry about as you know that its due to drugs or medications you are taking. If you notice any other changes like blurred vision, severe headache, or any neurological defect, then you should consult your doctor.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Please send me your investigation report and other relevant details to comment further.Revert back with the reports to an eye care ophthalmologist online..
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. After blunt trauma, pupil constrictor muscles may be damaged and that causes permanently dilated pupil called traumatic mydriasis. This just causes mild blurring or photophobia in bright light due to large aperture. But, in case of trauma, there are more important things to see that can cause decreased vision like cornea, lens, retina etc. Is everything fine in your case? Can you see normal in that eye? If everything is alright, then we can discuss about treatment options.
