Question by Sadf A: Please help, so much stress and depression, just cant take it anymore!?
I am a 20 year old college student and male. These past few years I have been through so much its not even funny. I am about to give up I need some help please!!! A few years ago my dad passed away. Then when I started college I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. A year later my vision went down hill and at age 19 I had cataract surgeries and vitrectomies to fix my vision, however one of my pupils is still dilated months later . I have been through so much I just can’t take it anymore. The stress has caused me a terrible TERRIBLE HORRIBLE HABIT, to rip my eyebrows out. Please don’t laugh at me that is already what my mom did when I told her. I used to be told I was good looking but now I have to wear glasses all the time do to my eye surgeries and now I have patches all throughout my eyebrows. I am embarassed to talk to anyone face to face. I have tried letting them grow back, but when they do the new hairs grow all weird, pointing outward instead of lying flat against my skin. They will not grow back the same for some reason. I am so depressed because of this. Along with being ashamed of how I look, diabetes is not making this any easier. My life is a living hell. I hate waking up in the morning. I have to fill in my eyebrows in the morning like a girl. I am so humiliated and sad. The only thing positive that has happened to me these past few years is that I got a full scholarship. That is the only thing keeping me going right now, the fact that someone is paying for my education. I am so sad right now I cry almost every day I hate life! Help me please! I have told my mom but she just tells me to man up. I feel physically and mentally scarred from what has happened to me and just dont know if I can recover!

Question by David Pan: Should I take the eye floater surgery?
Here are some of the other comments, I found

Comment number 1.

Surgery to remove one floater would probably liberate several more. There is some stuff they can inject into your eye called vetreosolve that would dissolve them. That is really not the intended purpose of this drug. So at least in the USA, you would probably have a hard time finding a doctor that would do it. Lasers are used to open an opacity called the posterior capsule. This is a membrane left behind the implant in cataract surgery. The procedure is called a YAG capsulotomy. I have asked Doctors who perform this procedure if the same laser couldn’t be used to blast through floaters. I was told that the capsule was stretched tight and the floaters were limp. She compared it to chopping a tight rope with an ax or trying to chop a limp bit of rope.

Comment 2.

There is a surgery to get rid of floaters. It’s called a vitrectomy, and it is a very extreme procedure for a benign problem. Basically, if the floaters are affecting your life so you can’t do the things you like to do, perhaps the risk of surgery is worth it. However, for just a nuisance floater, you’re risking infection and possible blindness to get rid of a problem that isn’t that severe.

So that’s a long way of saying, yes but it’s not really for everyone.

I suppose I should mention that vitrectomy is a procedure where the vitreous fluid (the jelly that fills the cavity of our eyes) is removed and a clear solution is put in its place. So you’re talking about sharp instruments in the eye which brings a risk of some things you’d rather not experience.

I think, what their trying to say is, If the floaters are no severe, don’t take surgery. Can you guys enhance more information? And should I take the surgery?

Answer by Dr. Nice
You talk like your floaters problem is a problem for everyone. No it isn’t. It’s debris that exists inside your eye. Everyone has a little of this inside their eyeball.

So in the end you are the only person that can make a decision on this. I don’t think making other people concerned about you is going to help you make a decision on the matter.

By the way if these floaters sometimes appear and then disappear its an indication that you are overheating your vitrious humour from over working the ciliary muscle. Try and slow down your mind. Don’t rush your reading of books and stop being so analytical. There is nothing wrong in being chilled out. Being chilled out has the added bonus of making you more relaxed, free from distraction and a clear mind to help put things into perspective.

Question by Jean: How long will it take my eye to heal after Cataract surgery?
I had Cataract surgery in April of this year. My vision is blurred now and my eye is droopy. When the doctor dilates my eye, I can see perfectly clear. Also, black lights really bother me since it shows up as a bright purple. Is this normal?

Your results are not what is expected. That makes it impossible to tell you what is likely to happen without seeing you. If you are not satisfied with the answers you are getting from your present doctor, seek a second opinion.
