Is the inability to read on the eye chart due to amblyopia?
Hello doctor,
I have done my eye test. During the test, I cannot read the fourth line of letters even with the lenses they provide. All the lenses I have tried. Is it serious? What is the problem? I am very tensed.

How can the power difference of 0.5 spheres between both eyes be rectified?
Hello doctor,
I am 49 years old now. I had a cataract surgery in both eyes three years ago. I was told that the formation of cataract was due to side effects of a steroid medicine. When the surgery was done, I did not opt for a progressive lens with cataract lens and power in both the eyes was the same. But, now there is a difference of 0.5 between both the eyes. I am wearing progressive lens with a cylindrical provision. I would like to know whether it is possible to replace my cataract lens with the new one and continue wearing the progressive lens. I have attached my doctor's prescription herewith.

Faraway objects appear blurred. What should I do?
Hello doctor,
Sometimes, the faraway objects become blurred as well as I cannot see the writing in class on the board clearly or the slides on the projector. But, the problem is that it is not regular. Rather sometimes, as I can see everything clearly like when I go to the movies I sit at the back still everything is clear. What should I do? Do I need an eye test as I have done it last year? It was clear at that time. These symptoms were still there but not frequent as now.

Why is there weird formation of characters in front of my eyes?
Hello doctor,
I am a 46-year-old woman. I have floaters in my eyes that mostly occur when I wake up in the morning but these floaters are not just wiggly lines, these are characters. They take the form of animals or a marching band or cartoon characters. They have been happening for approximately one to three years and my eye doctor told me to see a psychiatrist. Another told me that was impossible to be happening. I am a migraine sufferer on quite a few medications but it has been happening before this. I am currently on Tizanidine, Amitriptyline, and Sumatriptan. Please can someone help me.

Symptoms of pseudotumor are reverting after stoppage of drugs. Will it lead to immediate blindness?
Hello doctor,
I have pseudotumor diagnosed before four years. I was taking Diamox and had a spinal tap. I stopped taking Diamox because I was pregnant before two years, and my symptoms went away along with the swelling. Last year my symptoms came back. I am not able to see an ophthalmologist until four more days. I am worried that I will go blind before I get to see my ophthalmologist. Will blindness happen all of a sudden?
