How to heal vision issues after being slapped on the face?
Hello doctor,
I recently got slap in my face (2 days ago), and I got some vision problems. It has been two days, and the problems have not been reduced or changed yet. There is a completely opaque black big oval which is blocking my left eye vision near the nose. Both the eyes have a little bit of blur entirely. Both the eyes have floaters and light flashes. In dim light or during the night, I can clearly see that black oval-shaped blockage near my nose. When we went to an ophthalmologist, he said there is no problem with the retina as of now. To me, it seems like retinal detachment. Is this really retinal detachment, and was I misdiagnosed? Can the problem get worse if I waited for a longer time? If it is not retinal detachment, is it permanent loss of peripheral vision or anything severe?

I have a hard time reading letters on a bright white background or any bright color. Why?
Hi doctor,
I have a hard time reading letters on a bright white background or any other bright color for few months. I can read it, but my brain has some issues. I do not have a problem reading white letters on a black background. I was at a few doctors, but the only thing they said was that to change the power of my glasses to -6.25 left and -7.25 right. I am 33 years old, and I am a gamer. What can be the problem?

I have blind spots in my central vision, but peripheral vision is better. Please help.
Hello doctor,
I have been struggling with my vision for a few years now and it is slowly worsening. I have the following symptoms: Blind spots in my central vision, for example when watching TV I cannot see the whole picture. Central vision is shadowed so I need light on images to see them clearly. I cannot see well at night everything appears darker, at the moment I can barely see well enough to drive at night. Objects in my peripheral vision are brighter than in my central vision. I am taking tablet Ocuvite eye vitamins daily as recommended by doctor. There is no existing health conditions or medication being used apart from vitamin supplements. Please help. Regards

My eyes are always red on waking up. Is it related to blepharitis?
Hello doctor,
I could see prominent blood vessels in my eyes. Since my teenage, my eyes have been dull, tired, and red. They are never itchy or irritated. I eat healthily, drink a lot of water, and sleep for eight hours. Though I am using preservative-free eye drops, my eyes are red on waking up every morning. I possibly sleep with my eyes open, but no one has ever told me that. My mother suffers from blepharitis. Are my eye issues related to that? Kindly help.

Does ocular hypertension increase pressure in one eye?
Hi doctor,
I have had ocular hypertension for twelve years. I was diagnosed with IOP with no signs of nerve damage, and they prescribed me Xalatan. And I had Lasik surgery to correct myopia. After the surgery, I decided to check my eye pressure, which was high, and Xalatan did not work well because of the steroids, so I stopped the steroids and Xalatan. The doctor prescribed me a Cosopt eye drop, which worked well and allowed me to reduce my eye pressure. And yesterday, I consulted an eye specialist for a routine checkup. The nerve is fine, with no damage or signs of glaucoma, but my eye pressure in my left eye is 55 (when on Cosopt), while my right eye is 20. He double-checked, and it still read 55. I am concerned about what is causing this rapid increase in IOP. So I use Losec (to control stomach acid), Pantoprazole, or Actifast if necessary. What is causing this high IOP that I never had? What can I do to reduce it? Was there anything that day that caused my pressure to rise, only in one eye, rather than both?
