I had my first ever comprehensive eye exam ever about 2 weeks ago. No cataracts, but apparently I had some dysfunction, possible clogging of my Meibomian glands. I was prescribed Lotemax to use for about 6 weeks total and was also told to use an eye compress and otc eye drops for the dryness.

Paul Diamond 0 seconds ago I was scheduled for surgery to replace the cataract damaged lenses in both eyes. With my wife, I changed to eating a plant based diet, recommended by my DO. After a month, the osteo arthritis pain I suffered in my toes, plantar, heels, ankles, knees, elbows, wrists and fingers (each confirmed by xray images) disappeared. Almost a year after going plant based diet, my cataracts cleared in both eyes. I phoned the optometrist and requested a new vision test before my scheduled cataract surgery. She agreed. After the new exam, she cancelled the cataract surgery for my eyes! - It was a big step to give up all meat, dairy, processed foods, oils, etc. But, the rewards to me far exceed the compromises.

@Run Everyday good Evening from Western Australia's Southwest. My surgery for cataracts was performed in hospital as "same day surgery" outpatient, one eye at a time and 4 weeks apart. On both surgeries, there were 35 - 40 people having the same procedure. I am not sure what the RX readings were.. However, several weeks after surgery I visited the surgeon's practice for eye tests and was giving paperwork stating what my eyesight was as follows:- Intraocular lens used: Monofocal-RE, Toric Monofocal-LE. Unaided vision RE =6/6-2, LE =6/7.5-1. IOP: RE = 16, LE = 18. REFRACTION: RE =, -0.25/-0.50×165 LE=, -0.25/-0.50×150. When I wear glasses to read paper I need to adjust distance to get clear vision and upon taking off glasses, everything is blurry for 5 to 10 minutes. Driving is proving a challenge especially at night, glare is an issue. I really wanted lens implants for reading and long distance but surgeon placed the above single lens. Not sure if I need further surgery or new glasses, looking at computer screen I need to be a certain distance from screen to see clearly. The issue I have is that I live in a rural area and need to travel appropriately one hour each way to see eye surgeon. What would be your expert recommendation as to procede fro here. Thank you kindly in advance for your assistance. Make your day a great one.

Dr. Tai, hello from Wales, UK. I suffered a retinal detachment some years ago and am careful to eat spinach quite often for eye health. I have floaters in the other eye but am not overly bothered by them. I have none in the affected eye, which now has a silicone lens, following on from the inserted gas which was used during the surgery, to press the retina back during the week long requirement to lay down on one side at home upon having been discharged from hospital. I have slightly blurry vision in that eye and a taller 'pinched' image, but it's only apparent when looking through that eye in isolation. The plus side of eating spinach is that it makes me strong and very attractive to women, as is the case with Popeye, although I tend to not be attracted to women with very think legs, like Olive Oyl has. I'm almost 65 but still extremely fussy, in spite of my time running out fast. I hope I don't develop cataracts later, as my maternal grandmother did, albeit only in one eye.

I developed cataracts in my early 30s and none of these factors applied to me. My ophthalmologist said her best guess was the fact that I wore hard (gas permeable) contact lenses for many years, which likely caused inflammation in my eyes due to constant irritation. They were SO uncomfortable and even painful but I didn't have other options. I have severe nearsightedness which started around age 8 and I also have dry eye syndrome which prevented me from wearing soft lenses.

Potential Hazards of Castor Oilcontact solution Check with your medical professional before using castor oil for your eyes, as it can have some risks and side effects. It is not ideal for everyone. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) recommends talking to your ophthalmologist about what to use for your specific condition, as there is often a better option than castor oil. Do not use castor oil if you: Are wearing or putting in contacts soon. Have recently had a surgical procedure. Are allergic to it. Have a serious eye condition. Use other eye drops or ointments. The most common side effects of using castor oil eye drops are blurry vision, itching, and swelling. Blurry vision often clears up after a little bit of time as the castor oil dissipates. If you experience irritation or further issues like dizziness, nausea, or trouble breathing, you should stop using castor oil immediately. Using Castor Oil Safely on Your Eyes If you use castor oil for eyes, be sure to choose artificial tear or eye drop products made for eyes that contain castor oil and not non-sterile castor oil by itself. If applying castor oil topically, be sure to wash your hands before application and gently massage the oil around your eyes. Remember to talk to your eyecare provider before using castor oil to make sure it is the best option for your eye health.

Excellent & informative video ... as a type 1 diabetic since 1975 , w/ good A1C levels , no alcohol / smoking, I still developed cataracts , & upon removal of the left cataract, I immediately developed waves in my “ macula area” ...making glasses Rx almost impossible for that eye . My good ( right eye ) has a cataract that hasn’t progressed much to date ... I greatly fear having it treated / removed ,even if it becomes a problem . Any Ideas Appreciated 🥺

I had cataracts from asmanex steroid inhaler for asthma. What triggered my asthma was preservatives in wine. I drink vodka now. No preservatives. I got the cataracts removed from the V.A. Great job. I'm 80 now.

Interesting video, thanks. I have a big cataract in my left eye. I have been using drops (N Acetyl Carnosine) on it for over two years and I think it is getting smaller and more transparent. My optician says this cannot be because the drops cannot reach the cataract. What do you think of these drops? Am I imagining the improvement?
@viviennesunny2 жыл бұрын
I m not her but I believe in these drops. Also try Lanomax. Pass both with 2 hours of difference, they are different substances.

To avoid sugar and fructose which is more harmful to health when over consumed. Therefore i give fruits the boots most of the times. And i chose to take in lutein and zeaxanthin supplement for improved vision. l am glad to report those purple pills have served me well as my dried tears from my lacrimal gland which often dried like salt particles had disappeared. My vision during indoors sports which oftentimes involved viewing against strong ceilings light is better.

Iam 67 years old and have t/2 diabetes. I recently had cataract surgery in both eyes. I was expressly told that cataract surgery/ removal would ultimately improve my sight in both eyes. But the opposite occurred. My sight is worse. I now cannot even read a book which I used to do and enjoy before surgery I still see ' floaters' nine months. Now my question is, can I undergo corrective surgery if there is any such thing?
