Cataracts Treatment

Question by LADYBUG2: something wrong with dog’s eye?
yesterday my dog’s eye was kind of bothering her. it was a little more watery than normal and seemed irritated. i wake up today and her eye is swollen and there’s a whitish spot on the bottom of it when you lift her eyelids open. her eye seems cloudy or something and the middle of her eye looks really weird. what could cause this over night all of a sudden?? could glaucoma set in that fast? she’s always had a cloudy spot on her eye that i assumed was cataracts. obviously i’m taking her to the vet so i don’t need any ‘take her to the vet now or she’ll die’ answers.

Question by tamberine317: Something in my cat’s eye?
I have an 8 year old orange tabby and he has been winking one eye a lot. I took him to the vet and the vet saw a little bit of brown disharge stuck under the eye, said his eyes looked fine (no cataracts). But he still has discharge and winks a lot like his eye is hurting him. Sometimes there is brown discharge around his eyelid and sometimes there is clear discharge on/across his eyeball. It has been some time that I’ve noticed him winking, and he is now starting to over groom himself in places to the point of having bald spots. I wonder if he’s doing that out of stress over his eye. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help him?? Thanks

First , get another Vet! He needs an antibiotic in case of an infection a.s.a.p.! It will help in healing and the pain. Try saline solution, twice a day. It will soothe his eye and help heal . Yes he is stressed out and hense the over grooming. He probably has a scratch on his eye and the more he touches it the more it will hurt and not heal. Try a collar from the vet for 2 -3 weeks so he doesn’t keep touching it, Also, use the saline , clean it twice a day , once in the a.m then in the p.m. He will be happy in no time.

Question by amberofarabia: my left eye is in pain. no gunk, dry, feels like there’s something in it. It’s not pink eye. What is this?
Not cat allergies. Not traditional pink eye. Been to many doctors all of whom are scratching their heads. It is getting worse. I looked up chlamydia, and that doesn’t seem to be the case. Nor does mere”dry eyes” this is in one eye and is painful from my brow to the bottom lid , but especially the eyeball itself. Please help!!!! My eyes look red and i have a little discharge in my eyes when i wake up, but only sometimes, and it is not like the pink eye i have had in the past.not at all. it is like somebody punched my eye. and then, it goes away, or almost seems to, then it swings back into action and puts my little eye in misery. I have no health insurance and i have spent over $ 700 trying to fix this. A rare exotic disease? A new form of pink eye? cataract rupture? an ancient fated curse? what is this? any ideas are much appreciated!!!

Question by bigsetzerfan: My left eye hurts when I focus on something that is close to my eye?
I have had a lot of surgeries on my left eye. I have two sceleral buckles, vitrectomy, cataract lens replacement and many laser treatments for a detached retina. I have had this problem with the pain when I focus on something that is close to my eye for a while but it seems to be getting worse. I can not pinpoint when it started so I am unsure what caused it. If I focus with each eye individually there is no pain but if I focus with both eyes I have the pain in the left eye. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer by yagman
When you focus with both eyes open, you must not only FOCUS the eyes correctly but you must also CONVERGE the two eyes so that they both point to exactly the same near point. This requires not only focusing of the internal muscles of the eye but also you must stimulate the medial rectus external ocular muscle of both eyes so that they will turn inward. I wonder if the contraction of the left medial rectus is causing pain at the insertion point on the left eye. If you have inflammation or scarring in or around this insertion point then that could be possible.
