Filamentary keratitis
A persistent condition known as filamentary keratitis causes adherent filaments of mucus and corneal epithelium to form on the corneal surface. The mucous and degenerated epithelial cells that make up filaments are linked to the ocular surface at one end. On the anterior surface of the cornea, filaments appear as tiny, gelatinous strands that might […]
Eye vision and pregnancy
Due to fluid retention, increased blood volume, hormonal changes, and other physiologic changes associated with pregnancy, eyes may vary slightly throughout pregnancy. These alterations typically disappear once the baby is born or after weaning a breastfed child. Minor changes in vision typically do not necessitate a new prescription for glasses. Hence, a woman should not get […]
Eye twitch
An eye twitch is an uncontrollable eyelid or eye muscle spasm or movement. Your physician may diagnose it as blepharospasm. Your upper eyelid is more likely to experience it. Every few seconds, and usually only for a minute or two, the lid moves. Eye twitches can be found in three different kinds. Small eyelid twitches […]
Eye Injection
You might feel uneasy about the idea of getting an injection in your eye if your ophthalmologist recommends it. These injections, known as “intravitreal,” administer medicine straight into your eyeball to treat problems like diabetic eye disease, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal vein occlusion. Many patients report seeing better after receiving medication injections, which are […]
Eye Dominance
The tendency to prefer visual information from one eye to the other is known as ocular dominance and is sometimes referred to as eye preference or eyedness. It is comparable to the laterality of right- or left-handedness, although the dominant eye’s side and the dominant hand’s side are not necessarily the same. This is due […]
Excessive blinking in Children
Parents frequently question whether they need to be concerned about their child’s excessive blinking. Although this symptom is usually not cause for concern, if your child blinks frequently or exhibits other worrying signs, you should take them to the doctor. Rarely, excessive blinking can indicate a neurological condition or cause vision loss. Four main reasons […]
Drusen
Under the retina are yellow deposits called drusen. Lipids and proteins make up Drusen. Drusen probably do not lead to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, drusen can be a symptom of AMD and increase a person’s chance of developing it. Drusen come in several forms. Small drusen may not cause vision problems for a long time, if […]
Dacryoadenitis
Lacrimal gland (tear glands) inflammation is known as dacryoadenitis. Behind the upper outer corner of each of your eyes is a lacrimal gland. They function as a component of your tear system and produce tears. Each gland is roughly the size of an almond. One of your lacrimal glands will swell if something irritates it. […]
Cytomegalovirus Retinitis
Cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMV retinitis) is a dander viral eye infection of the retina which affects the eyes. The light-sensing nerve layer that lines the back of the eye is known as the retina. Most frequently, those with compromised immune systems develop CMV retinitis. Floaters and blurred vision may slowly start to appear as CMV retinitis symptoms […]
Cerebrospinal Fluid (Cfs)
Your brain and spinal cord have a surrounding protective layer of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF contains nutrients that your brain can use. The CSF layer also supports and cushions your brain and spinal cord from sudden movements. A grape in a jar would experience a similar effect as the brain. The grape will be bruised […]
