vitreous detachment and how to deal with it?
145316
you live with it. I had that too fairly recently. The light flashes at night were first pretty irritating, especially before I figured out what was happening, but by now they nearly disappeared. My eye doctor explained to me that the vitreous body is pulling at the retina causing exitation in the retina cells and hence light flashes, typically towards the corner of your vision. Once the separation is complete the light flashes stop. The problem is, that the pull can cause tears in the retina which has to be treated very rapidly so it doesn't get worse. \nTears in the retina are supposed to cause black spots in your vision and that's when you want to go contact your retina specialist immediately. Luckily I don't have personal experience with that so far. Though I think as long as it is treated quickly it is not going to be a big deal since somebody invented lasers to glue the retina back on. \nOnly thing which still bothers me are floaters, but that is also supposed to get better, though it is supposed to take more like a year than a month.

use an anti-glare screen. increase ur monitor's refresh rate. keep some natural scenary picture behing ur monitor. see that often. use some frops after consulting ur ophthalmologist if ur eye gets dried often. take rest for eyes every 1 hr.

It sounds like you're experiencing a migraine aura, but you really should get it checked out with your eye doctor ASAP to make sure that it isn't a retinal detachment.

Try sulphacetamide.  And I swear this works:  Put a few drops of breastmilk in the affected eye.

Why not try an optometrist.  She may need glasses, could be corrected.  Don't wait till she starts school.  Kids can be cruel.  Happened to me.  Fine now!

Depends on what kind.\n\nThe kind I had, which was for a retinal detachment, had me in a semiconscious haze of pain for about a week, and hurt to a lesser degree for about a month afterwards.  At the beginning, I could not read, watch TV, or look at anything really, because it hurt too much to move and/or focus my eye.  I would recommend eye surgery to save your sight (it was worth that) but not for any cosmetic reason.

I've been wearing glasses for about seven years now, I'm 18, and honestly I don't give a rats ass about what people think. I think that glasses are becoming in style now and you shouldn't be ashamed of wearing them if you need them. Though, not that I care about what others think, I'm trying to heal my eyesight the natural way, as laser eye surgery is not always a fool proof solution and is so expensive. I am going to use the Bates method to try and heal my eyesight, as I don't like relying on glasses to see, I want to be able to see clearly using my own eyes again. I want to wear sunglasses. I don't want to be restricted to not playing certain sports. For these personal reasons, I don't like wearing glasses, as they are crutches. I recommend you watch a DVD called "Yoga For Your Eyes" by Meir Schneider if you are interested in healing your eyes. Schneider was born legally blind and healed his eyes and is now able to legally drive without glasses. Good luck :)

There is something called Tuja or Thuja.  Maybe homeopath medicine.  Consult a doctor since the child is quite small and the area is near the eye.

See an eye doctor.\n\nIt might be something on the lens, or it might be something on the retina. Or it might be some completely different thing.

Hi MakeEver\n\nHere is a testimonial and an idea on how to heal the issue.\n\nGlaucoma Disappears: I have a friend who had had eight major surgeries. She lived in constant pain, very seldom was she able to go places and her physician had told her their was nothing more they could do. \n\nShe went on Dr. Christopher's Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet. She started on herbs to cleanse the colon,the blood Cayenne, Calc tea, Yucca AR, Herbal Eyebright, etc. In a matter of about three weeks, her pain was gone. She was able to start living again. In about 3 or 4 months her arthritis left her. \n\nShe had had glaucoma for 13 years. Her glaucoma medicine was making her ill, so she went to her eye specialist. He tested her and said there is not even a trace of glaucoma left. There is virtually no cure for glaucoma, how did you do it. Her reply was thru herbs and diet. She was told whatever it is, don't stop it. He took her off her glaucoma medication, and a special pair of glasses. She now tells me her eyes have improved so much that she can now watch TV without glasses, which she never before had done. She started on this program less than a year ago. Her dark brown eyes are now turning green. She has a ways yet to go, but she is really living again. She is a composer and this past holiday season, had a Christmas Album published. \n\n\nBest of health to both of you\n\nCheers

Hi. I have RP also. I am 35 years old and was diagnosed when I was 22. I had always been nearsighted and struggled with imperfect vision, so when I got the diagnosis - it did not really have an immediate impact on me. Now, however, I am really struggling in so many ways. Of course, there is the obvious - not being able to drive anymore - but there are many other things that have changed for me as well. I feel isolated both physically and emotionally from the rest of the world and I find that it takes so much more effort and determination to do just the normal things. I suffer socially in most situations because I bump into things and people, I trip over people's children - hurting them,  neglect to shake someones hand when it is held out for me (because I can't see it), and cannot often even follow the most mundane activities because visual cues usually guide most activities. I am exhausted from having to explainn all the time, and even though I don't want special attention - I worry that people see me as demanding it if I try to explain too much. As a result, I no longer feel like I am a part of the normal world and I often choose to remove myself from social situations. It is just exhausting, and most days, I don't have the strength to deal with it.\n\nAlso related to the issue of feeling isolated is the way people relate to you once they know you can't see much in front of your nose. I think that although most people are very well intentioned, they cannot help but be over solicitous. They start treating you differently - like something fragile, broken, or they just act afraid to say or do the wrong thing. Sometimes I get the impression that some people are uncomfortable just to even be near me. Maybe they are afraid it is contagious. Another oddity I have found is that I have often felt the pressure to be a spokesperson for blind people - needing to explain to people that, yes, blind people can actually have regular jobs, be married, have children etc. \n\nThose close to me have reacted in differing ways. My husband is very loving and supportive but totally in denial and cannot seem to remember to stop trying to hand me things - holding them out for me to grab. Drives me nuts. To my kids, I am just mom, but I think it frightens them to see me become so dependent. They forget to warn me of stairs, doorways, cars, you name it when we are out together in unfamiliar places. As a result, I am always falling, crashing into things and hurting myself.  Onlookers just think I must be mentally deficient or something. I have a sister in law who won't acknowledge my eye problem. She told me "I don't want to hear about it - there must be something you can do!" She thinks talking about it means I am whining about it. Yet another relative told me that I needed more faith in God to be cured and because I am still losing vision, my faith is not strong enough. Still other relatives open every conversation with "How are your eyes?" as if there is no more to me than my eye problem. I feel like saying, "Fine, how are your bowels?"\n\nI still work, but only marginally. Because we live in a small town, I am pretty much confined to working from home.  I do some contracting work for a news monitoring company but it is very low paying work. In the past, I was a professional with a college degree - now I am barely able to make $400 per month. This is bad for the self esteem.\n\nThe state I live in has special services for people who are visually impaired. They'll set you up with adaptive aids and teach you how to put raised stickers on your stove so you don't overheat the mashed potatoes, but there is nothing anywhere that can teach you how to be a blind person. From A-Z, I need to relearn absolutely everything and there is no resource for that. \n\nAs far as how I am doing - I am angry, frustrated and feeling utterly isolated. There are days when I feel completely useless and there ar

There's also a condition called asteroid hyalosis, which is calcium deposits in the vitreous.  It's very similar to floaters, but the patient rarely notices them.

retinal detachment is caused by alot of factors. the most common one is stress from working in a focused enviromnet liek surgerys for example. but it is a multifactorial disease, meaning not only over stressing your eye will cause it but also genetics and aging play an important rule

See your Ophthalmologist. They can prescribe the best drops for your situation. OTC drops are much weaker and need to be used often. Prescription drops are best.

Sounds like you had lazer eye surgery. Yes,No?  If so go get some more ASAP. You need them to help with the healing process. Get some more.
