I have three boils under my eyelid. What could it be?

Dear doctor,

I had a small stiff boil in the middle of my eyelid for months. Then it disappeared and another one appeared in the outer corner of the same eye (right eye) and kept getting bigger and smaller and still has not disappeared.

Then, about six months later, when I blinked it hurt, and I felt another boil under my eyelid and when I looked it was full of pus and I did not disturb it. The next day when I woke up, my whole eyelid was swollen and hurt really bad. But the pain went down in three hours or so. I then realized that another boil was inside my eyelid. The boil burst by itself though and now I have three boils in my eyelid and the third one is in the inner corner of my eye. Is this serious?

Having ocular hypertension,will it lead to glaucoma? Is there a risk of blindness?

Hello,

I would like to have a remote eye view on a question related to glaucoma.

• I am 35 years old and I am being followed for 5 years for ocular hypertension.

• I have between 23 and 26 mmHg by applanation tonometer.

• My field of vision is good.

• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) examinations are good.

• And my optic nerves seem normal.

• During the first 4 years I had followed every six months.

• I do not have any treatment for the moment.

Given my age, this worries me somewhat. So, I would like to get your opinion in response to some of my questions:

• Given my young age and this pressure, will it likely lead to glaucoma?

• My potential life expectancy is still important, is there a risk of blindness?

• I have a 4 years old boy, when should he start being examined for this problem?

• I would like to have more children, however, I wonder about the risk of transmitting a possible glaucoma which slows me yet.

Thank you.

Increased intraocular pressure in both the eyes. Should I go for Laser Peripheral Iridotomy surgery(LPI)?

Dear Doctor,

I have abnormal pressure in my eyes. I believe it was 24 in one and 23 in the other. My doctor told me that he would not dilate my eyes because it would be dangerous and asked me to find someone to do Laser Peripheral Iridotomy surgery(LPI).

I am 23 years old with no medical conditions. Need a second opinion.
