Cataracts Treatment

Question by kashiwokaeru: Infection in eye from contacts?
Recently, and periodically, my left eye has been super sensitive to my contact lens whenever I put it on. After a few hours, even minutes… the top part of my eye starts to feel some kind of bulge at the top… and then my contact gets blurry really fast. I went to the fitter about it before, but he said it was because of the weight of the contact lens on the bottom… but this ‘infection’ occurs at the top, so I’m not really sure. Can someone help me out? I really hate having to take out my contacts after tearing up over a long day… my eye also gets lazy and red too.

When I take off the lens, I look closely at my eye… it looks more cloudy or just blurred than the right eye (which is all clear). I hope it’s not a cataract or anything serious :S

It could be a number of things. You may be allergic to the contact lens material or the the contact lens solution. Or it could be some sort of keratitis.

Either way, you need to get your eyes examined to find out what the cause it. It might be worth getting a second opinion from another optician as it is unlikely that the weight of the lenses would cause such problems

Question by Fintastic: Eye floaters from serious eye trauma…?
Does anyone have suggestions on helping with eye floaters that are a result from an eye trauma. I’m not talking a few dots here and there from getting smacked in the face. I mean an explosion that caused a cataract surgery, multiple laser surgeries, and 7 years years later, a massive amount of strings and dots floating around in the eye that are bothersome everyday/ all day. Thanks!

I think eye surgeons can suck them out using a needle, at least the larger ones that are most troublesome.

Question by SUJIT R: Get answers from millions of real people.?
I had a cataract surgery of my right eye two weeks ago (removal of cataract and insertion of IOL lens). I was chopping red onion and had lot of burning sensation and tears which subsided after about 10 minutes. I did not rub my eyes nor washed with water. I was wondering if the tears by onion odour would have harmed my eye recently operated. Appreciate feedback. Thanks. SKR, Ontario, Canada, 25Oct2008.

Question by Soso: I got disqualified from meps they told me to apply for a waiver?
I was disqualified because my vision in my right eye is so poor and I only have light perception and my vision can’t be corrected. My left eye is perfectly fine, and I had a lens implant for my right eye known as cataract surgery. Anyway the doctor said I need to apply for a medical waiver, but my recruiter said he doesn’t think it would get granted. Please I really need any honest advice that you can give me joining the Marines has been my long life dream I passed everything except for my eye exam for my right eye
Please Help me……..
I see people who are almost blind without their glasses and contacts and they go through. I see perfectly fine I dont even wear glasses and i dont have any side effects from my surgery i gave them the paper work to prove it. If my waiver is not granted I can write to congress men I will use every way I can even if I dont join I’ll know I did everything I could of done
Yes I know what I need to do and the last thing I am looking for is sympathy I just needed some advice. I was also wondering if anyone knows how writing to congressmen works and my recruiter doesnt know how the process works either.

Waiver questions are the hardest because no one can give you a exact answer on what your outcome for your medical waiver would be. One of the main things is if the doctor at MEPS gave you a waiver recommendation or not, if he did your chances are good if not, well to be honest your chances are not that great. You mentioned that your eye is not correctable which also may hurt you but it is always worth it to apply anyways and make sure your recruiter does it. I got DQ for a minor shoulder surgery i had when i was 15 and the doctor gave me a waiver recommendation, it still took about 3 months before it came back approved so if i was you just keep your head up, submit your waiver request and hope it gets approved. Good luck

Question by Elizabeth R: Can my eyes get damaged by the sun’s UV rays if my sunglasses don’t completely block light coming from above?
If I am outdoors on a sunny day and my sunglasses don’t block out light coming from above, can this be dangerous for my eyes? Often, with some of my sunglasses, if I try looking upward with my eyes I can see above my sunglasses and I can get some unfiltered light falling on part of my eyes. I have these other sunglasses, on the other hand that look like the ones worn by cataract patients or eye surgery patients(or elderly people), and they completely block out light coming from above, no matter how much I maneuver my eyes to try to look above the glasses. Are these glasses that block out light from above better than glasses that don’t block out as much light, and I’m not just referring to wrap-arounds, although I realize those are better. Thanks.
