Homeopathy has good scope in treating eye problems in most harmless way and stop recurrency.

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.
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. Burning eyes can be due to either less tear production or increased tear evaporation. One needs to identify the type before starting treatment. Meanwhile, avoid going outside during the day wear plain googles (side shielded preferable)
avoid high speed fan areas. Prefer ac if possible. One should consult an eye doctor (online or offline) for detailed examination of dry eyes to identify the exact cause and then deciding the treatment plan. You can reach me out anytime for the same. Hop...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

Hi, my left eye was a little sore at the corner for 3-4 days. Then day before yesterday, my lower eyelid started swelling. At first it was only a little painful but with time the swelling and pain kept on increasing. Right now, I have extreme pain in my left lower eyelid and the pain radiates to almost the entire left side of the eye. The swelling has also increased and the eyelid is red. There is a very small white color spot on the inside of the eyelid (not visible on the outside) but this has become smaller since the swelling has started increasing. There is also a burning sensation in the corner of my eye. I am taking enzoflam painkiller but it takes around 2 hours to reduce the pain and the effect lasts only 2-3 hours and then the pain comes back. I am also using moxicip eye drops and refresh tears but I don't think it is helping much. It has been 2 days of severe pain. Please advise.

Hello. Your symptoms seem to be suggestive of infection. What exactly is the swelling can not be commented upon right now without having a look at it. It may be a stye or an infected cyst going into a stage of pre-septal cellulitis. You need to start oral antibiotic tablets right away along with continuation of the present medications you are on. Hot water fomentation is equally stressed upon and will work like wonders if done religiously. Also consulting an ophthalmologist right now is advisabl...more
