Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I think there is something wrong with me, and there are symptoms that occur daily. I cannot look at bright light anymore because, after that, I cannot see most things. This is because my eyes' pupils are a bit off from the center. Also, when I look at something for longer than usual, they tilt or move a bit, as I might stare at my iPad keyboard, and the word box looks tilted to different sides. I always feel conscious. I need help to grasp things like before or concentrate on anything. Even if I sleep for 12 hours, I will still be so tired, and no matter how much I rest, I cannot stop feeling sleepy. My speech has gotten slurred or weird. Finally, my family says I do not speak properly anymore. If this could be of any concern, the color of my eyes was so dark brown they were almost black, and you really could not differentiate the pupil, but now it has become too light, I can see the pupil. Please help.

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. After staring, the words get distorted because when you delay blinking due to staring, there is a break in tear film on the eye surface due to evaporation. And tear film is the most important refractive layer in the eye, losing its function and leading to distorted vision. Try to exercise at least 20 minutes a day for five days a week. And meditate for 15 minutes. It will help you a lot. Get your thyroid hormone levels checked. Let me know how you are doing. Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
