Question regarding Redness
I experience red eyes daily.  I wake up with them.  They also occur: (1) when I read for extended periods; (2)after I have been watching a movie in a movie theatre; (3) if I experience shifts in temperature; (4) at the end of the day; and at other times throughout the day.  I use eyedrops daily (usually allergy drops)which temporarily relieve the redness.  However, I try not to use the eyedrops more than four times a day, as recommended by the eyedrop manufacturer.  The eyedrops become less effective the more times during the day that I use them.  My question is whether there is another alternative to treat my eye redness.  Are there more effective medicines available?  I am self-conscious about my red eyes.  At times they are extremely red and I look like I haven't slept in a month.  Is there anything I can do?

Question regarding Focusing
What would cause my eyes to not focus correctly.  When I look at a bright object like a light chrome bumper while driving, a blind spot in either my right or left eye.  Then little squares at the bottom of my eye, then I get a headache.   When I read a newspaper a word will jump from either the paragraph above or below the paragraph I am reading.  I also have trouble seeing my computer at work.   The screen is about a foot from my face and I wear glasses with bifocals.   When I do my adding at work the numbers appear to jump, like their there & then their not there.  If an amount is $123.00, I will see the 1 & 3.00 but not the 2.   I have seen a doctor at the Kentucky Eye Institute.  He has just as much told me "sorry about your luck".  He said I was born with this problem & he was sorry that he couldn't help me.  Another thing, I do not see things round.   An "o" is oval shaped.  At work on my pc I have a hard time seeing which is an "o" or an "8".  There has to be somthing that can be done for me.  I am frustrated beyound belief.  The doctor said that my eyes will not get better & that they will get worse with age.  The doctor also told me to never drive at night & to try not to drive during the day.  He said that if I ever lost my drivers license I'd never be able to get it back.  A doctor I saw 4 years ago told me that I was legally blind.  That worried me somewhat.  So I hope that you can give me some advice on what I can do about this problem or even tell me what I have.  I apreciate any advice you can give me.  Sincerely yours.

Question regading Radial Keratotomy
I HAVE AN OVERCORRECTION AS A RESULT OF RADIAL-K, 1983, OF (+4)  IN ONE EYE.  CAN THIS BE CORRECTED BY ONE OF THE NEW METHODS?

Question regarding Keratoconus
I was diagnosed with keratoconus a year ago.  Contacts are so expensive for me and I keep changing them because they keep changing.  How can I get a transplant?  I am wanting one and feel it would be in the best interest for me and my family.  My eyes are in bad shape and I am only 34.  Is there anyway that I can get a Dr. to agree to do the surgery for me? 

Question regarding Floaters
Hello, I have when i look at the sky or just unfocus on somthing I can see what looks like little circles connected to each other in a link and some just floating around.  They are small and move around when i look around, I usually don't notice them but I work with computers now and they bug me from time to time..  What are they?  And what should I do about it?  Thank you!

Question regarding Contact Lenses
Last summer, for about three days, I developed a problem with my eyes in which they became highly sensitive to light, were wattery, and had a burning sensation.   It went away after a couple of days, and it was believed to be because of my contacts.  A couple of weeks ago, it occured again, and has been happening on and off since then, but it happens whether I'm wearing my contacts or not.  Also,in the mornings, I have trouble keeping my eyes open.  What could be causing this?

Question regarding Iritis
I have iritis & have had reoccuring bouts for almost 30 years.   Tests do not turn up anything.  It always happens prior to a period.  I have had allergy tests, lung x-rays, pap smears, blood tests for infections, even test for Lupis.  Nothing turns up.  I need advise.  I understand my Dr. is known for his research in this field, but....Dr. Luis Alpern, El Paso, Tx.  PLEASE HELP WITH SUGGESTIONS.  I do not want to have to get the steriod shot this time if I can help it.  I am making an appointment with my Gyn for next week! Suggestions please!

Question regarding "Lazy" Eye
Is there any methods or surgeries to correct a "lazy" eye?   Please give definition of what is exactly a lazy eye?

Question regarding Allergic Problem
I'm a 36 year old female who works on a computer full time. I've been experiencing problems with my eyes for the past 6 months. I've been to my primary care physician and my allergy specialist. I have allergies to house dust and dust mites. I take allergy medication and use nasal sprays twice daily. I've been receiving allergy injections for 3 ½ years and currently get them every 2 weeks. The problem I'm experiencing is red, watery eyes, and swollen skin between the brow and eyelids (including the eyelids). The skin around my eyes will sometimes get so irritated that it peels. My eyes start to water when I lie down at night, especially my right eye. When the problem started, my allergy specialist gave me an antibiotic eye drop, elocon cream for my irritated skin, and a nasal spray. Nothing seems to work. I've recently had a complete physical and a sinus CT scan. All my tests came back normal. Could this be a computer eye strain problem, or could an infection or virus be causing this? I'm not sure where to go next. Should I see an ophthalmologist?

Question regarding Pseudo-Exfoliation
My friend/neighbor's wants to learn more about a retina treatment called "pseudo-exfoliation", which has been recommended for her case.  In my web searches I could only find a journal article referenced, but not the text.  Can you point to any public resource on the subject?  Many thanks.

Question regarding Trabeculoplasty
I had a racketball injury which gave me a open-angle so now I have to have a trabeculectomy.  The information that you provided on this subject was helpful. If there is more please send.

Question regarding Shock Sensation and Nausea
Have a herniated cervical disk.  Have, past 4 days, uncomfortable electric shock sensation only in head when moving eyes side to side (up & down no sensation). Have constant nausea now. No pain.  No visual disturbance associated.   No dizziness felt.  Am at computer very large amount of time. Wondering if it's associated with disk trouble, severe eye strain, or something else.

Question regarding Retinal Distortion
In October 1997 had a rhegmatogen retinal detachment with giant retinal tear in the
lower quadrant and had undergone pars plana vitrectomy+scleral buckling+internal srf drainage+argon laser endophotocoagulation under the PFC +C3F8 gas tamponade.  In February 1999 I had a cataract extraction in the same eye.  My age is 54.  My question:  I have a brighter vision on the operated eye, white colors are overwhite so to speak. The other eye's vision is yellowish compared to the one which has undergone operation.  But vertical lines are like waves.  Also faces seem to be stretched on the north-south axis and blurred.  I have to close the operated eye to see the computer screen or read.   (The eye had been -3.50 is now -0.5)  My cataract operation is only 10 days behind but I suspect it is caused by the retina.   I did not get any clear answer other than to wait for 2 months.  I almost have the suspicion that a third operation is in sight which could be prevented if the first was made properly.  I'd appreciate if you can tell me your opinion on remedy.

Questions regarding Near-Sightedness
Dear "ophthalmologist", I have several questions that I am very concerned about.  Please, please answer them for me.

1.  I first got glasses supposedly for nearsightedness when I was around 9 or 10.   Before I got glasses, I thought that I saw pretty well even though I was having headaches almost everyday.  So my mom took me to an ophthalmologist and he prescribed me some glasses and I did see better with them and my headaches did go away.  But now I am 15 and I still wear glasses but when I take my glasses off my eyesight is worse than before I even got glasses to begin with, and every year when I go to get an eye examination, I always have to get a stronger prescription.  I am scared that I might gradually be going blind.  Am I going blind or have(as my dad says)my eyes simply become dependant on my glasses or could it be that I didn't need glasses to begin with? Will I ever stop having to get stronger glasses every year?

2.  O.K. I am supposedly nearsighted.  I understood nearsightedness to be when you can see objects that are closer to you better than far away things and far away things look blurred.  In my case, I do see things perfectly when they are closer to me (about 10"inches away from my face), and objects far away look blurred, but here's the catch:  The faraway objects do look blurred but they also develop a ghost or I can see an outline of the object.  The further away I go from the object, the bigger the "ghost"/outline gets.  Is that normal for a nearsighted person to see?  

3.  I also see a ghost (a very little one) with my glasses but when I lower my eyelids slightly (not squinting) the ghost goes away.  As I said in question 2, I also see a "ghost" without my glasses on and when I lower my eyelids (including squinting) the ghost image goes away and I can see better.  Is that normal?  Is lowering your eyelids slightly the same as squinting?  I asked my ophthalmologist about this particular problem and he put a slight tint in my glasses (thinking that my eyes were sensitive to light) but that didn't help either.  What's wrong with my eyes?

4.  Can you tell me the advantages and disadvantages of contacts?  Can contacts help a nearsighted person see well?

5. Aren't glasses supposed to cure your vision problems?

Thank You so much for your help in advance.  Sorry for how long these questions are but I am very worried and I tried to give you as much detail as I possibly could so that you could give me the most accurate answers.

Question regarding Vision Therapy
I just visited my eye doctor nad he told me that I had a big depth perception problem.
His only solution was for me to start Vision Therapy.  Does VT really help depth perception cases, and are there any alternatives to VT?  Thanks.

Question regarding Eye Patching
Our little boy who is three has recently had an IOL implant. and we are now undergoing three weeks of intensive patching. (6hours a day) Needless to say this is heart rending for us and distressing for Ben. Is there any other treatment. Can you suggest any way of lessening or making the process any easier. Also how long is this likely to last ? Many thanks for any help.

Question regarding Retinal Tear
I had a .3 horse shoe retinal tear treated with laser surgery 3 weeks ago.   I am  experiencing a lot of flashing lights, waves of lights, and a large section of lower vision is absent.  Otherwise, my specialist observed that the healing process is going well.  He said the flashing lights and floaters may settle down later, but the "blindness" will be permanent.  Is this true, and if so why?

Question regarding Redness
How come the white area of my eyes always turns red whenever I take long walks or exhausted.  Sometimes tiny red vessels emerge suddenly and causes burning sensations.

Unfortunately scar tissue after pterygium removal can be difficult to eliminate entirely. Surgical treatment can help to decrease the hazy or whitish scarring as well as the blood vessels covering the cornea, however, there is a risk of recurrence after second surgery as well. Unfortunately, there is no commonly successful nonsurgical treatment. A corneal specialist should be able to give you advice as to the advisability of additional surgery and the likely success rate.

Question regarding Redness
I experience red eyes daily.  I wake up with them.  They also occur: (1) when I read for extended periods; (2)after I have been watching a movie in a movie theatre; (3) if I experience shifts in temperature; (4) at the end of the day; and at other times throughout the day.  I use eyedrops daily (usually allergy drops)which temporarily relieve the redness.  However, I try not to use the eyedrops more than four times a day, as recommended by the eyedrop manufacturer.  The eyedrops become less effective the more times during the day that I use them.  My question is whether there is another alternative to treat my eye redness.  Are there more effective medicines available?  I am self-conscious about my red eyes.  At times they are extremely red and I look like I haven't slept in a month.  Is there anything I can do?

The redness you describe is most likely due to a chronic dry eye condition. As you described these symptoms occur primarily when your eyes have been exposed to conditions which could exacerbate the dryness. Allergy drops can have a "rebound effect" which may make the redness worse when they wear off. I would recommend a trial of artificial tears, which are available without a prescription from the pharmacy. These should generally be used, at least four times a day on a regular basis, in order to assess their effectiveness for a period of at least one month.

Question regarding Focusing
What would cause my eyes to not focus correctly.  When I look at a bright object like a light chrome bumper while driving, a blind spot in either my right or left eye.  Then little squares at the bottom of my eye, then I get a headache.  When I read a newspaper a word will jump from either the paragraph above or below the paragraph I am reading.  I also have trouble seeing my computer at work.   The screen is about a foot from my face and I wear glasses with bifocals.   When I do my adding at work the numbers appear to jump, like their there & then their not there.  If an amount is $123.00, I will see the 1 & 3.00 but not the 2.   I have seen a doctor at the Kentucky Eye Institute.  He has just as much told me "sorry about your luck".  He said I was born with this problem & he was sorry that he couldn't help me.  Another thing, I do not see things round.   An "o" is oval shaped.  At work on my pc I have a hard time seeing which is an "o" or an "8".  There has to be somthing that can be done for me.  I am frustrated beyound belief.  The doctor said that my eyes will not get better & that they will get worse with age.  The doctor also told me to never drive at night & to try not to drive during the day.  He said that if I ever lost my drivers license I'd never be able to get it back.  A doctor I saw 4 years ago told me that I was legally blind.  That worried me somewhat.  So I hope that you can give me some advice on what I can do about this problem or even tell me what I have.  I apreciate any advice you can give me.  Sincerely yours.

The visual problem you describe is difficult to assess based on your symptoms alone. It may be a focusing problem, a structural eye problem or a visual interpretation problem. I would recommend a comprehensive evaluation by an ophthalmologist for a second opinion and perhaps this will lead to some additional information, which will be beneficial to you.

Question regading Radial Keratotomy
I HAVE AN OVERCORRECTION AS A RESULT OF RADIAL-K, 1983, OF (+4)   IN ONE EYE.  CAN THIS BE CORRECTED BY ONE OF THE NEW METHODS?

A +4 diopter over correction from radial keratotomy can be improved by excimer laser surgery for hyperopia. However, you should consult an excimer laser surgeon with regard to the degree of improvement possible and the potential complications in doing excimer laser surgery on a patient who has previously had radial keratotomy. Nevertheless, it is likely that some or perhaps even substantial improvement could occur.

Question regarding Keratoconus
I was diagnosed with keratoconus a year ago.  Contacts are so expensive for me and I keep changing them because they keep changing.  How can I get a transplant?  I am wanting one and feel it would be in the best interest for me and my family.  My eyes are in bad shape and I am only 34.  Is there anyway that I can get a Dr. to agree to do the surgery for me? 

One of the criteria for corneal transplant surgery and keratoconus is difficulty with contact lens wear. If your lenses are still comfortable and you continue to see well with them, many surgeons may recommend waiting for transplant surgery.   However, the most definitive correction usually comes with surgery in patients with keratoconus. If you have not already consulted a corneal specialist, you may wish to do so, or get a second opinion.

Question regarding Floaters
Hello, I have when I look at the sky or just unfocus on somthing I can see what looks like little circles connected to each other in a link and some just floating around.  They are small and move around when i look around, I usually don't notice them but I work with computers now and they bug me from time to time..  What are they?  And what should I do about it?  Thank you!

The sensation you describe is most likely due to vitreous floaters. These are densities in the vitreous jelly within the eye that show up as translucent moving objects in certain lighting conditions. In general, they are not harmful but if they develop suddenly or increase in quantity or are accompanied by flashes of light or visual disturbances, they should be checked by an eye doctor as soon as possible. For most normal floaters, there is no treatment, but they are not a danger to the eye.

Question regarding Contact Lenses
Last summer, for about three days, I developed a problem with my eyes in which they became highly sensitive to light, were wattery, and had a burning sensation.  It went away after a couple of days, and it was believed to be because of my contacts.  A couple of weeks ago, it occured again, and has been happening on and off since then, but it happens whether I'm wearing my contacts or not.  Also,in the mornings, I have trouble keeping my eyes open.  What could be causing this?

If you develop irritation and light sensitivity when you have not worn contacts for at least several days prior to the onset, it unlikely that your symptoms are related to contact lenses. You may have some superficial inflammation of the eye. While this is not likely to be harmful, you may wish to consult an eye doctor in order to determine any preventative or curative treatment that is available.

Question regarding Iritis
I have iritis & have had reoccuring bouts for almost 30 years.   Tests do not turn up anything.  It always happens prior to a period.  I have had allergy tests, lung x-rays, pap smears, blood tests for infections, even test for Lupis.  Nothing turns up.  I need advise.  I understand my Dr. is known for his research in this field, but....Dr. Luis Alpern, El Paso, Tx.  PLEASE HELP WITH SUGGESTIONS.  I do not want to have to get the steriod shot this time if I can help it.  I am making an appointment with my Gyn for next week! Suggestions please!

Unfortunately, approximately 50% of people with iritis do not have any associated physical problems that help to explain why it occurs. Generally the presence of iritis indicates that the body's immune system is somewhat overactive and there are some tests that can confirm this condition. However, they do not change the nature of the treatment for iritis. As you know, treatment is primarily anti-inflammatory drops, pills or injections. There is no new treatment at present that is applicable to most people with iritis. If you wish to get additional information, you may wish to consult the iritis web site.

Question regarding "Lazy" Eye
Is there any methods or surgeries to correct a "lazy" eye?   Please give definition of what is exactly a lazy eye?

The term "lazy" eye is somewhat imprecise. Most ophthalmologists use this to mean an eye that cannot see as well as the other eye, despite the use of glasses or contact lenses. This can come from a host of causes. However, many members of the public think of a "lazy" eye as one that drifts or does not hold its position aligned with the other eye. For most conditions where the eye is not straight, surgery can be beneficial, thought it may not align the eyes perfectly and the condition can recur. However, the visual problem associated with a "lazy" eye is usually not treatable after childhood.

Question regarding Allergic Problem
I'm a 36 year old female who works on a computer full time. I've been experiencing problems with my eyes for the past 6 months. I've been to my primary care physician and my allergy specialist. I have allergies to house dust and dust mites. I take allergy medication and use nasal sprays twice daily. I've been receiving allergy injections for 3 ½ years and currently get them every 2 weeks.

I've recently had a complete physical and a sinus CT scan. All my tests came back normal. Could this be a computer eye strain problem, or could an infection or virus be causing this? I'm not sure where to go next. Should I see an ophthalmologist?

What you describe sounds most characteristic of an allergic problem affecting the eyes and particularly the eyelids. This can occur independent of your other treatment for allergies. It is reassuring that there are no other physical problems, based on your examination, but I would recommend consulting an ophthalmologist as there are other treatment methods that can help to alleviate the inflammation that you have been experiencing in your eyes and eyelids.

Pseudo-exfoliation is a condition of the interior of the eye, which may in some places lead to glaucoma or cataracts. I am not aware of any "retina treatment" referred to as pseudo-exfoliation. If you have any additional information I would be happy to investigate further for you.

Question regarding Trabeculoplasty
I had a racketball injury which gave me a open-angle so now I have to have a trabeculectomy.  The information that you provided on this subject was helpful. If there is more please send.

If you wish additional information beyond that provided in the Glaucoma  and Glaucoma Surgery sections on EyeSearch, you may wish to consult the American Academy of Ophthalmology web site.

Question regarding Shock Sensation and Nausea
Have a herniated cervical disk.  Have, past 4 days, uncomfortable electric shock sensation only in head when moving eyes side to side (up & down no sensation). Have constant nausea now. No pain.  No visual disturbance associated.  No dizziness felt.  Am at computer very large amount of time. Wondering if it's associated with disk trouble, severe eye strain, or something else.

The symptoms you describe should be evaluated by your physician and, in turn, if necessary by an ophthalmologist. It is not possible to know the source of the problem without a physical examination.

Question regarding Retinal Distortion
In October 1997 had a rhegmatogen retinal detachment with giant retinal tear in the
lower quadrant and had undergone pars plana vitrectomy+scleral buckling+internal srf drainage+argon laser endophotocoagulation under the PFC +C3F8 gas tamponade.  In February 1999 I had a cataract extraction in the same eye.  My age is 54.  My question:  I have a brighter vision on the operated eye, white colors are overwhite so to speak.

Your symptoms suggest that there may be some retinal distortion from your original retinal surgery, although they can also be caused by postoperative inflammation or astigmatism. This may improve as you continue to recover from your operation. However, if it does not, an evaluation of the retina to determine if some distortion exists would be indicated.

Questions regarding Near-Sightedness
Dear "ophthalmologist", I have several questions that I am very concerned about.  Please, please answer them for me.

1.  I first got glasses supposedly for nearsightedness when I was around 9 or 10.   Before I got glasses, I thought that I saw pretty well even though I was having headaches almost everyday.  So my mom took me to an ophthalmologist and he prescribed me some glasses and I did see better with them and my headaches did go away.  But now I am 15 and I still wear glasses but when I take my glasses off my eyesight is worse than before I even got glasses to begin with, and every year when I go to get an eye examination, I always have to get a stronger prescription.  I am scared that I might gradually be going blind.  Am I going blind or have(as my dad says)my eyes simply become dependant on my glasses or could it be that I didn't need glasses to begin with? Will I ever stop having to get stronger glasses every year?

4.  Can you tell me the advantages and disadvantages of contacts?  Can contacts help a nearsighted person see well?

5. Aren't glasses supposed to cure your vision problems?

Thank You so much for your help in advance.  Sorry for how long these questions are but I am very worried and I tried to give you as much detail as I possibly could so that you could give me the most accurate answers.

1. The fact that your near-sightedness has increased steadily during your teenage years is not unusual. To the best of our knowledge this is genetically determined and will not continue indefinitely. You will never go blind from increasing near-sightedness. It is hard to predict when this process may slow down, but most likely it will do so by the end of your teenage years.

2. The ghost image you describe is very characteristic of distance vision in near-sighted people.

3. The mild ghosting you experience with your glasses on may indicate that your current glasses prescription is just slightly off or that the glasses may have been made based on a slightly difference correction.

4. Contact lenses can be a very effective treatment for near-sightedness in teenagers, though they do not prevent near-sightedness from increasing as it would if you wore glasses.

5. Glasses unfortunately do not "cure" vision problems. They are a device to enhance vision in eyes that do not focus perfectly on their own. As you have experienced, the need to change glasses or contacts is common in young people, but this process always stabilizes at some point. However, it is difficult to know exactly when that stabilization occurs for any individual.

I hope these answers are helpful. Please contact us if you have further questions.

Question regarding Vision Therapy
I just visited my eye doctor nad he told me that I had a big depth perception problem.
His only solution was for me to start Vision Therapy.  Does VT really help depth perception cases, and are there any alternatives to VT?  Thanks.

Vision therapy can be helpful for certain eye conditions. However, depth perception problems can occur from a myriad of causes. Before you begin a long course of vision therapy you may wish to get a second opinion as other doctors may have a different approach to your problem.

Question regarding Eye Patching
Our little boy who is three has recently had an IOL implant. and we are now undergoing three weeks of intensive patching.  (6hours a day) Needless to say this is heart rending for us and distressing for Ben.  Is there any other treatment.   Can you suggest any way of lessening or making the process any easier.  Also how long is this likely to last ?  Many thanks for any help.

Patching and eye treatment for children can be extremely challenging, as you know from personal experience. When a lens implant is necessary in a child, patching is almost always required in order to encourage the child to use the eye that has had surgery. If it is not done frequently the natural impulse is to use the eye that is "easier" to use. The initial patching treatment should help substantially though further patching can be necessary during postoperative treatment. There is no easy way to accomplish patching in a young child, but your eye doctor may have some suggestions with regard to the types of patches or other strategies, which make it easier.  Best of luck.

Question regarding Retinal Tear
I had a .3 horse shoe retinal tear treated with laser surgery 3 weeks ago.  I am  experiencing a lot of flashing lights, waves of lights, and a large section of lower vision is absent.  Otherwise, my specialist observed that the healing process is going well.  He said the flashing lights and floaters may settle down later, but the "blindness" will be permanent.  Is this true, and if so why?

The description of your condition suggests that there was some retinal damage despite the laser treatment. If the retinal tear has been successfully treated, you are not likely to experience additional problems in the future. However, you may wish to ask your retinal specialist how much of the retina was affected and whether this correlates with the area in which you have difficulty with your vision.

Question regarding Redness
How come the white area of my eyes always turns red whenever I take long walks or exhausted.  Sometimes tiny red vessels emerge suddenly and causes burning sensations.

The condition you describe is most consistent with dryness in your eyes. You may wish to consider lubricating eye drops on a regular basis to avoid the symptoms of redness you have experienced.

Question regarding Macular Degeneration
Blood vessels at back of eye contain dry blood behind the eye and there is scar tissue which is the reason for blindness. Can you please tell me the name of the disease and what can be done.  Thank you for taking the time to respond to this question.

The condition you refer to sounds most like macular degeneration of some type.  If you know further details I would be happy to give you additional information.
