Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 years old and I have been nearsighted since I was 12 and all weekend my eyes have been hurting and making me dizzy and giving me a bad headache. When I woke up this morning and looked at my clock across the room I could read it but everything close to me was blurry. It was like that for the whole day and it seems that I am farsighted now.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You are a myopic patient (farsightedness). Due to your vision problem, your eye is under strain which leads to spasm of a muscle inside your eyes which causes a problem in reading. You can go to the nearest ophthalmologist and get your dilated examination for the power of your eyes. Do not worry. This happens in farsightedness.

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