Answered by Dr. Sumeet Agrawal

Your eyesight has changed a bit with a measurement of -0.25D. This might make your vision less clear and give you sore eyes or a headache. If you spend lots of time looking at screens (like phones), these symptoms could get worse than they already are. To protect your sight, attempt to keep screen use down to 2 hours everyday maximum and take breaks every 20 minutes or so where you focus on something in the distance. You should still wear your glasses as directed by the optician as well.

Hello I am looking for a treatment for an eye whose nerves have stopped functioning.

Male | 60

You might be affected by a disorder of the eye, where the nervous cells in the eye are not working properly. This may be due to aging, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Nevertheless, it also might be that a person exhibits signs of blurred, partial, or total vision loss. Treatments for that might include taking special eye drops or doing procedures that will be put in place to protect your nerve endings that are situated in the eye. Your optometrist can prescribe eye drops or other medications to improve your vision.

My right eye have been twitching over a week now

Female | 19

Eye twitching is frequent, yet persistent spasms lasting over a week warrant attention. Stress, fatigue, excessive caffeine - all potential triggers. Combat it through adequate rest, stress reduction, and caffeine moderation. Persisting twitches or vision changes necessitate consulting an eye doctor.

Should I study without astigmatism glasses because I don't have now . Plz tell. My exams preparation will be effected or not.

Male | 21

Are you studying? Make sure to wear your astigmatism glasses! Not wearing them can negatively affect your preparation. Astigmatism causes blurry vision and eye strain, leading to discomfort and headaches. Astigmatism occurs due to an irregular shape of the cornea or lens, but wearing glasses can correct blurry vision, helping you study more effectively.

Female | 43

In your left eye, there is degenerative myopia with choroidal neovascularization, which has caused your vision to decline. In this condition, new blood vessels are growing in the wrong place. The best treatment option right now is an anti-VEGF injection, which can prevent these vessels from causing further damage to your eye. Meanwhile, your right eye has myopia, macular degeneration, and a tessellated fundus. Although your eyesight is not clear, regular use of eye drops can help control the situation to some extent.

I am suddenly seeing floaters in my vision and a little pain in the back of the eye, especially the left one. Eyes were perfectly normal around 2 weeks ago. I am not seeing any flashes of light or distorted vision, it is just fast moving floaters. I didn't do anything that would cause injury to my eyes. What it could be?

Female | 21

You may be suffering from posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). The reason for this is when the gel-like structure in your eye gradually departs from the retina thus causing floaters. The aching in the back of your eye could be the result of a process that is abrasive to the area. The good news is that PVD often gets better on its own. However, you need to see an eye doctor to confirm there are no complications.

And there are some white spots inside the eyes. What is the problem and treatment?

Male | 26

You may be having a problem called corneal ulcer. This may be the case if there is an infection or an injury of the cornea, which is the outermost layer of the eye and is transparent. Blurry vision and white spots are the typical symptoms. It's important to see your eye doctor for proper treatment, which may include antibiotics or other medications.

My eye I woke up and and try looking at my light bulbs and I saw something like rainbow color’s around it and also my eye ball is red since morning

Male | 16

You are experiencing an ailment called eye strain. Nowadays, it is common for people to experience problems with their eyesight. When your eyes are overworked they might be showing kaleidoscope colors or red. This is possible when the eyes are staring at light bulbs for too long. To help, rest your eyes by looking away from screens and lights. Eye drops or glasses may also be useful.

Good day my eyes seem be twitching constantly

Male | 25

Eye twitching can be annoying. It’s usually caused by being overtired, anxious, or not getting enough rest. Too much coffee or excessive screen time can make it worse. To help, let your eyes relax, get enough sleep, and take breaks from screens. If the twitching persists, it’s best to see an eye doctor.

Hi! Accidentaly got a dandruff patch inside one of my eyes while I was scratching my hair. At first my eye started to shed tears but it never came out (however I didn't rub it), and now it's not longer tearing, but I'm worried if it has the potential of causing an infection. I don't feel an object stuck in there but I don't know if I'll be fine. Apologizes as English is not my first language, hope my message is well understood.

Other | 26

When dandruff flakes come into contact with your eye, it can cause temporary irritation and tearing, which is your body's way of protecting itself. Since the tearing has stopped and you don't feel an object, you're likely fine. To prevent infection, avoid touching your eye and wash your hands frequently. If you notice increased redness, pain, changes in vision, or if irritation persists, please consult a ophthalmologist for guidance.

I am 15 years old and a few days my eyes color change in to red colour from 14 days and also some pain

Male | 15

There can be various reasons why eyes get red. One of them is allergies but also due to an infection or because they’re dry. In addition, if we stare at screens for too long our eyes may become sore and pinkish. Use some artificial tears and take frequent breaks from your electronic devices. If these symptoms persist then visit an eye specialist.

Burning during application can occur, but watch for redness, swelling, changes in vision, or prolonged discomfort. These symptoms might indicate irritation or an allergic reaction.
