Cataracts Treatment

Question by WINNIFRED SLATER: can I do anything to get rid of a film over my eyes, please?
I have fairly good eyesight, but when I try to read a newspaper or similar within about 3mins. I get a liquid film over my eyes. This has taken so much pleasure away. I have had it a year or two. I have tried dry eye drops but they don’t help. I’ve had both cataracts removed but that didn’t help either.
Any suggestions really would be welcome.

Take her to the vet, don’t rely on answers from her for help with your beloved dog.

Why not take the dog to the vet? Any online “vet” cannot diagnose a dog they cannot see.

Question by cutelittlecoconut: eye problems please help?
Okay so I want to give my eye history…..

I was adopted so I do not know anything about my family history.
When I was around 5 my mother (not my stupid pediatrician) spotted cloudy spots on both my eyes a.k.a cataracts.
The cataracts were removed shortly after(I’ve had about 4 surgeries) they were discovered and with my right eye they attempted a corneal transplant but it failed.My right eye is also surgically dilated because it wouldn’t do it with the eye drops.
I’m now 25 and was recently (about a year ago) diagnosed with glaucoma in both my eyes.I have to take eye drops everyday I take timolol once in the morning and once at night and take zalatan at bedtime.I try to stay regular but sometimes I’m not and I can tell when my pressure goes really high because my right eye swells.
Ever since i was diagnosed though i seem to get bad headaches everyday even when using my drops regularly.I’m wondering if there may be something wrong or if it is just the drops? What kind of medicine can they give me to help that won’t interfere with my drops or could something else be wrong? Is there anyone else that has gone through this and has any helpful advice other than “contact your doctor”?

I am sorry to hear about your problems, but it seems your eyes’ tension is under control with treatment. So it must be some other cause for headaches. If it is not very frequent, you may take any painpills for it and you will be ok. But if it is frequent (you said daily), it needs to be investigated. I would suggest relaxing and deep breathing exercises (yoga) considering these to be tension headaches, but if your condition persists or aggravates, you must get it checked. BTW, have you undrgone CT or MRI of the brain?
All the best!

Question by Cowgirl: My hamster’s eye looks really bad, can you help me please??
My dwarf hamster Lilah has had cataracts on her eyes her whole life. She has gotten on very well with them, behaving just like a normal hamster.
Then today I noticed that one eye is bloody. I don’t know what could have happened, except maybe her eye collapsed or something like that.
Help, I can’t take her to the vet so please don’t tell me to or ask me why not, the reason why I’m asking this question here is because I can’t get professional help, so if you don’t have anything better to say than “take her to the vet!”, please don’t say anything at all.

The cataracts may have nothing to do with it. It could possibly be she scratched her eye on something. Gently rinse it with cool water and see if that helps. If it doesn’t and the problem worsens I would strongly suggest finding a way to get it to the vet or putting her down, otherwise she would just be suffering.
