Hello. Floaters can be physiological (normal) or pathological (abnormal). Physiological floaters are due to tiny condensed vitreous and are not damaging to the eye at all other than giving a floating particle sensation, so can be ignored.
Pathological floaters on the other hand can be dangerous as they maybe due to an impending retinal tear/ detachment. These floaters if not timely managed, can be vision threatening. If identified early, can be treated with laser and/or surgery. No type of m...more

Hello. Entoptic phenomenon is a normal mechanism in which objects inside the eye create visual effects as they cast shadow against the retina. There is nothing to worry about it at all. Also, I request you to specify ‘weak spot’ as said by your doctor. Weak spot can mean a lot of things to an eye doctor. You can provide photographs of your documents to get a clarity first, so that particular issue can be discussed in detail, which will help in clarifying your doubts.

Hello.
Such floating black dots/lines/cobwebs are floaters in medical terminology, particularly visible against light coloured and bright background. These floaters can be normal or abnormal, depending on the other parameters of eye like history of any kind of trauma or having high power or just an ageing process. They vary in their numbers, size and location. Whatever floater are visible right now may be totally normal, in which case nothing needs to be done at present or can be an alarming...more

Hello Mr. lybrate-user!
from your description it seems like you have an epithelial defect over your cornea. Due to blunt trauma to the eye especially forceful one (like an air hose pressure) the outermost superficial layer (epithelium) of the black part of eye (cornea) gets eroded, and since cornea is instrumental in vision, that is why you have blurry vision right now. The epithelium will slowly heal by bodyã¢â€â™s natural mechanism, but might leave a slight scar later on depending upon its...more

Hello. Allergy in the eyes these days has become very common in our routine clinics, especially in summers. Allergy is a general term, but for eyes per se there are different types of allergic disorders like akc, vkc etc. The treatment will differ for every individual and a detailed assessment of each eye is crucial in deciding treatment plan. Generally a cocktail of drops is prescribed as each one addresses a different mechanism. Allergy in general cannot be cured, but can only be controlled. C...more

If u have immediately washed it then there is no problem but prophylactically an antibiotic can be added.

Hello. Whitish ring like circle surrounding the cornea is due to lipid deposition when it is in excess inside the body. Arcus (meaning arc i.e.circle) and senilis (means aged) occurs is elderly people. You might be having arcus juvenilis as you are young. To put up a diagnosis for your eyes at this moment will be difficult without examining the eyes first. Also it may require some tests further. A good quality picture of the eye will be a lot helpful to guide you further.

Hello. Any developing corneal ulcer is treated initially with antibiotics/anti fungal/anti viral medicines (drops or oral tablets) depending on the infection type. If not very severe, mostly it gets controlled by medicines alone, but if not responding to drops even after 2 weeks, may need a corneal transplant surgery (just to control the infection. Even with medical therapy, it may leave a scar. If the scar is very large and in the centre of eyesight obstructing vision to a very large extent, th...more
