Does upper and lower teeth extraction af
Hello Doctor, my mother (Dilshad, 60 years old) has severe dental infection. The dentist has advised the extraction of around 12 teeth in total (both upper and lower jaw). I am very concerned and want to know if removing upper or lower teeth can have any negative effect or damage on her eyes, vision, or optic nerves. Could you please clarify as an ophthalmologist?
Seeking Advice for My Mother’s Glucoma
My mother has glaucoma, and she has now lost around 70% of her vision in one eye. Several eye doctors have told us that the vision loss cannot be reversed. I would like to know how we can best take care of her condition and protect the vision she still has. Are there any treatments, procedures, lifestyle changes, or other options that could help prevent further vision loss? I would really appreciate advice from ophthalmologists or anyone with experience dealing with advanced glaucoma. Thank you.
Help, My son has dryness problem
My son took Accutane (isotretinoin) (20 mg) for about 2 weeks. Shortly after starting it, he developed significant dryness and discomfort. He stopped the medicine about 35 days ago, but symptoms are still present and fluctuate in severity. Eyes: He has dry and sometimes painful eyes. Eye drops provide temporary relief. He feels the left upper eyelid is producing little/no oil or no tears and feel pain in the eye, doubts about MGD. His eye examination showed 6/6 vision, normal fundus and normal eye pressure, with dryness diagnosed. Internal body dryness: He has persistent dry mouth and throat with very less saliva in mouth , sticky/dry lips and dry nose, with a feeling of dehydration even after drinking ample water. Sometimes he wakes during sleep because of dryness. He experiences heavy breathing and internal dryness problems. Guide us about any specific dryness test for eyes and body.
Eye Pain from wearing Glasses
I've had eye pain whenever I wear glasses for the past 12 years. I've tried wearing glasses consistently for long periods (including about 2 years continuously), but the pain never resolved. Because of this, I switched to contact lenses (last 10 years), which were generally comfortable and did not cause the same pain. However, over the last year, I've started experiencing eye irritation with contact lenses as well. It feels as though my eyes have become more sensitive to them, although I'm not sure whether this is due to changes in my eyes or the lenses themselves. My spectacle prescription has been checked and updated multiple times over the years, but the discomfort with glasses persists. What could be causing this, and what evaluations should I undergo?
