there are basically different types of myopia each with its own causes n prognosis, hence,it usually nt compulsory dere mus be a change in ur refractive status after using d glasses 4 a while.I wil like 2 know the actual power of ur prescription.5years is realy too long 4 u 2 ve stayed without visiting an eye clinic...if u have high myopia,u ought 2 be visiting an eye clinic @ least every six mnths...I belive ur refractive status nids 2 be reviewed,dats y u experiencing eyestrains and headache cos ur glasses is no more compensating 4 ur refractive error..tanx

Hello Dr. Please help. My mom is about 70 years old. She complains that her eyes itches a lot and tend to water. The water does not come out, rather it forms a kind of cloud in her eyes that clouds her vision making her vision blurred. One Dr said it is eye cataract. How do we treat this please.

Hello Shawlay..,retinitis pigmentosa is hereditary and therefore there is little you can do about the probability of transferring it to your baby. But what U can do is to always take ur baby for yearly assessment. The earlier its detected the better. Basically, retinitis affect more of the Rod cells that help with night visions. Vitamin A and Omega-3 diets help to manage and slow down the rate of progression of Retinitis Pigmentosa.

@70 cataract is common and its not surprising. Its actually the lens in the eye that dev opacity. The management is simple : if the cataract is mature, then she should go for cataract extraction. Usually its done one eye at a time. If it is not mature, then the doctor might try some optical corrections to determine if there will be any improvements in her vision and comfort until the extraction. NOTE : Be careful not to allow anyone deceive u into buying cataract drugs such as catalins n catarest with the claim that it will clear the cataracts. Although they might help a little especially @ the early stage of cataracts BUT they do not cure or clear cataracts completely esp when dealing with mature cataract. Save ur money and do the cataract extraction.(The doctor will have to first assess the integrity of her ocular system especially the Retina to make sure that it is healthy b4 doing the surgery).

ProfEinstein:
thanks for your advise but this particular lens m using now was prescribed for me like 6 months ago and I remember complaining to My optometrist about the frequent headaches that comes with d prolonged use of the glasses but She dismissed It sayin that with this new glasses that I won't experience such again. truth be told ,this headaches keeps coming back intermittently especially at d left eye . I forgot to say that the two eyes ain't d same. the myopia is more at d left eye so I guess d power of d left lens is higher . actually I don't know the exact power of the lenses

Nice job Jaunty, @ 34yrs old can anything be done to reverse RP? How effective is HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)? Is there a confirmed known cure yet? Which diets are fortified with vitamin A and Omega-3?

Dr. Thank you. What medication do you suggest we give to relieve the pain and improve vision? Is it by any chance hereditary? Thanks

Hello Jauntty and drsteroid. Pls ur professional contributions would be appreciated

ProfEinstein:
Am In My twenties , do u think am diabetic or something ?I haven't checked My blood sugar for long.

jauntty:
Hello Alubosa, HBOT is still @ the experimental stage and so I can't say how effective it is. But for now, Vitamin A therapy to slow down cell degeneration is the mainstream management. What treatment have u been on?

Alubosa:



None!

Pls how do i go about the vitamin A therapy or what treatment would u recommend?
