Who's familiar with the eye disease? Fusarium keratitis?
373942
Fusarium keratitis is bascially a fungal infection of the cornea (the clear front of the eye).  The fungus causes large ulcers right over the pupil, which are very difficult to treat.  As the ulcers heal, the cornea scars and becomes opaque (leading to blindness).  Patients usually have the option of a corneal transplant to restore vision to the affected eye.

Definatly go see an optomitrist as soon as you can. I found this on web md this is the only thing I could find. Hope this helps and hope it's not too serious.\n\n\n  \n\n \n \nQuestion\n\nI have developed a greyish ring around my iris in both eyes. \n\nCould you please tell me what it is? I have not been to a doctor since I was 8 years old. \n\nAnswer\n\nDeposits within the cornea may occur in a variety of conditions. Often these are caused by drugs that are used in the treatment of medical conditions; sometimes they may be fatty deposits and only rarely are they the tell tale signs of systemic disease. \n\nAssuming that you enjoy good health, that you do not have gout (podagra or uric acid) or liver disease and that you take no medication, I suggest that you visit your optician first and then your doctor.\n\nIt will be helpful if you are able to tell your GP the details of your blood-relatives' history of any familial illnesses. You probably have arcus senilis whereby fat is deposited in the eye. Since this is sometimes associated with abnormalities of fat metabolism, your doctor may wish to check your fasting levels of blood fats. However, in most individuals arcus is an incidental finding of no great importance.\n\nYours sincerely\n\nThe Medical Team\n\n \n\n \nLast updated 24.01.2006

Herpes simplex is a very common virus affecting the skin, mucous membranes, nervous system, and the eye.  There are two types of herpes simplex.  Type I causes cold sores or fever blisters and may involve the eye.  Type II is sexually transmitted and rarely causes ocular problems.   \n\nNearly everyone is exposed to the virus during childhood.  Herpes simplex is transmitted through bodily fluids, and children are often infected by the saliva of an adult.  The initial infection is usually mild, causing only a sore throat or mouth.  After exposure, herpes simplex usually lies dormant in the nerve that supplies the eye and skin.  \n\nLater on, the virus may be reactivated by stress, heat, running a fever, sunlight, hormonal changes, trauma, or certain medications.  It is more likely to recur in people who have diseases that suppress their immune system.  In some cases, the recurrence is triggered repeatedly and becomes a chronic problem.  \n\nWhen the eye is involved, herpes simplex typically affects the eyelids, conjunctiva, and cornea.  Keratitis (swelling caused by the infection), a problem affecting the cornea, is often the first ocular sign of the disease.  In some cases, the infection extends to the middle layers of the cornea, increasing the possibility of permanent scarring.  Some patients develop uveitis, an inflammatory condition that affects other eye tissues.\n\nIllustration by Mark Erickson\n \nSigns and Symptoms\n\nPain \n\nRed eye \n\nTearing \n\nLight sensitivity \n\nIrritation, scratchiness \n\nDecreased vision (dependent on the location and extent of the infection) \n\n \nDetection and Diagnosis\n\nHerpes simplex is diagnosed with a slit lamp examination.  Tinted eye drops that highlight the affected areas of the cornea may be instilled to help the doctor evaluate the extent of the infection.  \n\n \nTreatment\n\nTreatment of herpes simplex keratitis depends on the severity.  An initial outbreak is typically treated with topical and sometimes oral anti-viral medication.  The doctor may gently scrape the affected area of the cornea to remove the diseased cells.  Patients who experience permanent corneal scarring as a result of severe and recurrent infections may require a corneal transplant to restore their vision

yes it is called ocular (eye) herpes simplex When the eye is afflicted by herpes simplex, it usually affects only one eye and most often occurs on the cornea (the normally clear dome that covers the front part of the eye). This type of corneal infection is called Herpes Keratitis. The infection may be superficial, involving the top layer (epithelium) of the cornea, and usually heals without scarring, or it may involve the deeper layers of the cornea. If the infection involves the deeper layers, it may lead to scars of the cornea, loss of vision, and sometimes even blindness. Less commonly, herpes simplex virus may also infect the inside of the eye (Herpes Uveitis) or the retina (Herpes Retinitis).

It may also be caused by adenoviruses.\n\nBlepharoconjunctivitis is the combination of conjunctivitis with blepharitis.\nKeratoconjunctivitis is the combination of conjunctivitis and keratitis.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Epidemiology \n2 Diagnosis \n2.1 Symptoms \n2.2 Signs \n2.3 Differential diagnosis \n2.4 Investigations \n3 Treatment and management \n4 See also \n5 References \n6 External links \n \n\n\n[edit] Epidemiology\npink eye is basically the best disease that you can have.\n\nThere are three common varieties of conjunctivitis, viral, allergic, and bacterial. Other causes of conjunctivitis include thermal and ultraviolet burns, chemicals, toxins, overuse of contact lenses, foreign bodies, vitamin deficiency, dry eye, dryness due to inadequate lid closure, exposure to chickens infected with Newcastle disease, epithelial dysplasia (pre-cancerous changes), and some conditions of unknown cause such as sarcoidosis.\n\nViral conjunctivitis is spread by aerosol or contact of a variety of contagious viruses, including many that cause the common cold, so that it is often associated with upper respiratory tract symptoms. Clusters of cases have been due to transfer from inadequately-sterilised ophthalmic instruments that make contact with the eye (e.g., tonometers).\n\nAllergic conjunctivitis occurs more frequently among those with allergic conditions, with the symptoms having a seasonal correlation. It can also be caused by allergies to substances such as cosmetics, perfume, protein deposits on contact lenses, or drugs. It usually affects both eyes, and is accompanied by swollen eyelids.\n\nBacterial conjunctivitis is most often caused by pyogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus or Streptococcus from the patient's own skin or respiratory flora. Others are due to infection from the environment (e.g. insect-borne), from other people (usually by touch - especially in children), but occasionally via eye makeup or facial lotions. An example of this is conjunctivitis due to the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius.\n\nIrritant, toxic, thermal and chemical conjunctivitis are associated with exposure to the specific agents, such as flame burns, irritant plant saps, irritant gases (e.g., chlorine or hydrochloric acid ('pool acid') fumes), natural toxins (e.g., ricin picked up by handling castor oil bean necklaces), or splash injury from an enormous variety of industrial chemicals, the most dangerous being strongly alkaline materials.\n\nXerophthalmia is a term that usually implies a destructive dryness of the conjunctival epithelium due to dietary vitamin A deficiency—a condition virtually forgotten in developed countries, but still causing much damage in developing countries. Other forms of dry eye are associated with aging, poor lid closure, scarring from previous injury, or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and these can all cause chronic conjunctivitis.\n\n\n[edit] Diagnosis\n\n[edit] Symptoms\n \nEyes with conjunctivitis.Redness, irritation and watering of the eyes are symptoms common to all forms of conjunctivitis.

Chronic allergy often causes just itch or irritation, and often much frustration because the absence of redness or discharge can lead to accusations of hypochondria.\n\nViral conjunctivitis is often associated with an infe

I have Uveitis, an eye disease. A few weeks ago, a blood vessel burst in my eye (I only have one), so I went temporily blind. Now that the blood has cleared, I'm waiting for my surgery. It was supposed to be today, but my doctor called. He had some sort of nerve problem this morning. Ah, I'm nervous.\n\nBut anyway, this disease usually makes me miss school. But, ah well. Life goes on, eh? \n\nWhy aren't you at work or school? ;)

Most symptoms would appear within 24 hours. It will settle in while she's asleep at night,because the eyes are closed,and air is not intering the eye. Conjunctivitis (pink eye),is an allergy. It basically comes from exposure to certain flowers,pollen,and cottonwood trees. During the spring,when flowers and trees start to bloom,and you see what looks like cotton in the air, keep her indoors as much as possible. Once it rains,the cottony stuff will disappear. You'll know she has been exposed,when her eyes start to itch a lot,and turn red. When she wakes up in the morning,she will have a sticky white,somewhat crusty substance covering her eyes,to the point where it will be kind of hard for her to open them. There are over-the-counter eyedrops for pink eye. Dab her eyes with cottonballs,dipped in warm water. Do not use washcloths,because you will only spread the allergy. You can do this,until you seek medical treatment. (Good Luck!)

I would start by seeing a general ophthalmologist.  He/she might then refer you to an ophthalmologist that specializes in oncology or oculoplastics.

Hi Kents Crazy\n\nNot sure you can take care of this in one night, but here are some remedies to use.\n\nCaution: Do not attempt to squeeze the lump with your fingers, as this may spread the infection into the bloodstream and can become extremely serious. \n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nDiet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet that is high in garlic. Avoid all refined sugars, alcohol, and milk and dairy products, as well as any foods to which you may be allergic or sensitive.\n\nHerbs: Use an eye wash made from a fresh and well-filtered infusion of eyebright and goldenseal. Also drink red raspberry tea. \n\nHomeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Pulsatilla, Hepar sulph., Sulfur, and Graphites.\n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. \n\nNutritional Supplementation: Take mycelized vitamin A in therapeautic doses 100,000 IU for the first two days, and then reduce to 50,000 IU the next two days, and then a preventive dose, 5,000 IU for the next week. Also include beta carotene and vitamin C as part of your daily nutritional supplement program.\n\nTopical Treatment: Bathe your eye in a solution of chamomile or red raspberry tea.\n\nAlternative Professional Care\nIf your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating sties: Applied Kinesiology, Detoxification Therapy, Light Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Reflexology, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.\n\nBest of health to both of you

Never heard of that....but I do know what histoplasmosis is.  That is an infection caused by inhalation of spores from the fungus histoplasma capsulatum.  The symptoms are fever, malaise, cough, and lymphadenopathy.  It is usually spread by airborne spores from soil contaminated by bird droppings or bat droppings.  Maybe you are talking about the same infection but yours occurs in the eyes??

I assume you're talking about conjunctivitis which is "pink eye"- an infection that makes your eyes red, itchy and crusted and is highly contagious- make sure to wash your hands often!

(m)\n\nThe cornea is the clear part of the eye. The outer surface of the normal cornea is covered by a thin sheet of tissue called "epithelium". A corneal abscess occurs when bacteria or fungus enter the cornea through an injury in the epithelium. The epithelium may heal too quickly and essentially "seal" the bacteria or fungus inside the cornea. The bacteria or fungus grown within the cornea and from an abscess.\n\n\nfor more details see the following website\n\nhttp://eyeclinicforanimals.com/abscess.php
