How to treat a person who cannot focus on bright light?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. No need to worry about it. Also, if you cannot see anything after looking at a bright light, all the phytochemicals in the eye get used up and need a few minutes to rejuvenate. So it is also perfectly normal.

Loss of vision due to left brain damage in a child. What can be done?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Your baby is suffering from damage to the optic nerve resulting from trauma to the head. The remaining potential in the optic nerve can be determined by a test called VER, visual evoked response, in which a light stimulus is provided, and the corresponding electrical response in the brain is measured. You can get back to us with the test results for further discussion.

What is the treatment for eye infection due to pythium?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. In case the organism is pythium as you have said, it has been found that it does not respond to available antifungals. Previously patients have been managed by corneal transplant to remove the infected organ so that it does not affect inner parts of the eye. Your decision will depend on how well the infection is responding to the treatment being tried. If it is increasing despite all the medications, a corneal transplant may be the only way forward.

Noticed strange peripheral flashes and eye floaters. Why?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The hollow of the eye is filled with vitreous jelly. With aging, the jelly starts to liquify and separates from its attachments to the retina. This results in a little tug on the retina, resulting in flashes. This phenomenon is known as posterior vitreous detachment or PVD in short.

What are the black dots I see when I am out in the daylight?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have correctly described your floaters. Only thing is that it is perfectly normal as they are part of aging and will only increase with time. They develop as the vitreous jelly inside our eyes liquifies with time. So they move when your eye moves.
