Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand that you had a back injury, which you feel has been causing headache and neck pain. I agree with you, a back injury can lead to neck pains, which can give a feeling of a referred headache. The best way to fix this would be to see an orthopedic specialist. They will then examine you and if necessary, run tests to see if indeed the back injury is the cause of your headache.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand that you suffered a trauma to the eye. When examined, the doctor said that you have a subconjunctival hemorrhage with no damage to the retina. As of now your vision is clear, but the hemorrhage has increased for two days, and you are on treatment for pigment dispersion, psoriasis or ankylosing spondylitis. With this scenario, I feel that a visit to an ophthalmologist is necessary.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The MRI shows features suggestive of left-sided optic nerve sheath meningioma with possibly both sided Inflammatory orbitopathy (muscle enlargement is quite apparent). But these needs be correlated clinically. Although meningioma is recognized to be a benign tumor, it can cause pressure effects on the optic nerve and can cause compressive optic neuropathy. Inflammatory orbitopathy also shows a similar picture.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Such bleeding is not normal. The causes of such an occurrence are varied. A few common causes include a blood clot, a tear in the tear duct, infections like conjunctivitis, and sometimes a cut in the conjunctival lining can also cause this. The best thing, for now, would be not to rub or wipe your baby's eye very vigorously.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concerns. I am very sorry to hear about your mother's eye changes. I am afraid that the changes in the optic nerve are indeed irreversible and according to the reports is near total. This is known by the part of the reports that say CDR 0.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Heredomacular degeneration refers to a broad collection of diseases that affect vision by causing problems in the macular region of the retina. Some of these diseases are known to have a hereditary predisposition. The pattern of the precise inheritance can be known if you can provide details of the eye examination and the exact diagnosis made. Coming to the question of your daughters, I am afraid they too are at risk.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand that your eye power has changed quite a bit in two years. The change that we normally expect to see in you would be more on the minus side that is to say that your power must naturally progress to more on the minus side than becoming less. We see these changes occurring due to a process called nuclear sclerosis, which is part of the normal aging process of the lens inside your eye. Since the power has become lesser, this change cannot be simply ignored as due to aging and your doctor must be suspecting a cause for which he has asked for laboratory work.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From what you have described, I feel that you may have had an inflamed pterygium whose inflammation is now reducing with treatment. Pterygium tissue will not dissolve on its own and needs surgery to remove. Although it is possible to slow its growth by lubricants and avoiding sunlight exposure to some extent. The decision to operate on a pterygium depends on a variety of factors including the type of pterygium (progressive or not), the size of the tissue and your vision along with the condition of both your eyes.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The decision of whether or not you can undergo LASIK or any other refractive surgery depends on three things. Your power should not change for at least a year. That is, your power needs to be stable. Your corneal thickness must be adequate for the procedure.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I am very sorry to hear about your mother's eyes. I suspect that she must have undergone the retina laser and the injections for a condition called diabetic retinopathy. I feel that most likely it is a complication of diabetic retinopathy that might have caused high pressure in her eyes. Xen gel stent is currently FDA approved for refractory glaucoma not caused by diabetic neovascularization, and Inn focus micro shunt is currently being tested for long-term side effects and usefulness in such situations.
