Infections Of The Eyes And Ears Questions

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.

Hello sir.
Your symptoms are suggestive of allergy. Let me assure your first it is easily treatable with the right medicines. An eye doctor will like to know some more details before prescribing you drops. Do you have frequent cough cold or any allergy of other kind? Since how long you have these symptoms? A good quality picture of both eyes can provide a lot of information. It is advisable to try and not rub. Rubbing the eyes causes more release of histamine (an allergic chemical) which lea...more

Hello. You might be having allergy. Avoid rubbing and do ice pack application. A photograph of both eyes will be helpful to guide treatment. You can reach me out anytime for consultation. Thank you.

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
