[Fun fact; there's a Goddess of Eyesight in chinese mythology - Yanguang Niangniang. She's one of the Jade Emperor's daughters. Just one of his kids who decided to become a doctor/healer. I headcanon that she looks like an average mortal optometrist.]

[Tang, realising: "...I'll give you the number of my optemertrist." SWK: "Is that some kinda wizard?"]

I think I know who Tangs optemetrist is...

SWK: What are you doing here?

Yanguang: Because I got bills to pay and am not accepting hand outs from my parents. You want the glasses or not?

Reference posts with the Goddess of Eyesight + Au SWK realising he needs glasses.

Megapolis has such a large demon and former-celestial population that it necessitates the need for actual gods in the healthcare system.

Yanguang works in a practice that includes her co-workers; Zhao Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao (sister goddesses of maternity, pedatrics, and disease prevention) - imported from Investiture of the Gods.

Yanguang lost faith in the Jade Court after her eldest sister past away. Since they were both diciples of the goddess of Mount Tai: Bixia Yuangjun (primordial goddess of birth, destiny, and the deparated), Yanguang was able to cut contact with heaven to work on earth.

She looks eerily normal to anyone able to detect her divine nature. Like Wukong in the TMKATI au, who gets reccomended to her by Tang to get his eyes checked out. Before SWK could comment on a celestial princess working as a mortal doctor, Yanguang tiredly diagnosed him as having untreated corneal flash burns/welder's eye/eye sunburn from the furnace. She prescribed him a pair of enchanted glasses and (regular) eyedrops to help him see better. Wukong left the medical practice very confused but grateful.

Yanguang has pretty much cut all contact with her family, save for Iron Fan. See when baby Red Son's primordial fire powers activated, he accidentally gave himself Welder's Eye from the flames. Yanguang was the one to prescribe him his little pince nez glasses. Her and Iron Fan are shockingly chill with one another.

I'M OFFICIALLY OLD & I DON'T LIKE IT

@albrechtstarkarm

@elderberriesandarsenic @bitter1stuff

@gifsbysimplysonia

@allhailthe70shousewife

The abundance of technology and lack of humanity causes a longing for the past makes me feel like a fucking Luddite!

(Continue to read for Gen X bitching)

For the last couple of years, I have not been able to see that well through my current classes prescription. Every time that I would come close to getting a new prescription, I would face another eye surgery.

After the Corneal transplant, my surgeon refused to give me another prescription until a year had passed. Because, he said my eyes were changing too rapidly. In the meantime, I cannot see with this prescription at all. I only live about 7 blocks from my school and yet driving there every morning is. Terrifying, because I cannot see well enough. Every time I would go back for a checkup. I would beg the surgeon for refraction. Finally, the last time I wore the surgeon down and he said while he would not provide it. I was welcome to go to one of those cheap eyeglass places and get a temporary pair.

The place where I live does not have one of those places.

And it takes an act of God to get hubby to take me anywhere. So we waited until we were taking a trip to sea his mom, my MiL, four hrs away during Spring Break. And in an unfathomable display of generosity, he offered to take me on the way back to get my glasses.

We stop in Odessa and as luck would have it, there was a Stanton. Optical across the street from our hotel.

I go in and am given an iPad where apparently I have to write down my entire medical history by answering questions in a font so smallI cannot see it because my glasses are crappy.

It blew my mind that a place that people go to because they can't see was making people fill out their own paperwork on. Technology that was so small.

After playing around with it and having my information LIST 3 TIMES &HAVING TO START OVER, I figured out that I could adjust the font size---- but no one told me this.

In the end I had to just hand it over to my husband and have him fill it out!! All of this would have been completely avoided if they had an option for paper. RED FLAG #1

Because I didn't have an appointment. I waited about an hrs & a half. As people were going ahead of me, I am noticing the very young attendant that is taking them into the exam room is asking every single person the exact same saying set of questions quite robotically.

RED FLAG #2

Finally is my turn and as soon as I walk into the exam room red flags are going off AGAIN because nothing in that room looks like what you would need for a glasses refraction.

RED FLAG #3

As someone who has had to go to an ophthalmologist three times a year since the age of 5 ,I know these things.

So the girl who starts bounding off her questions. Did I want glasses or contacts?

How many hours did I spend in one of the computer?

I told her 5.

About 30 seconds later she says "Okay. So you say you spend about 10 hours in front of the computer?"

RED FLAG #4

I didn't bother to correct her and then she starts telling me about all the different type of lenses they have, so I ask her how much those lenses would cost and she tells me that she doesn't know. But after I get my prescription, I can discuss that with people up front.

So you only have one job --that you do with as much passion as an android and you know nothing about the other parts of your organization?

RED FLAG #5

She then tells me she needs to take a measurement of my eye, which I would understand for contacts but i'm getting glasses and i'm not sure she understood me when I told her this the first time.

So she tells me to look into this machine, which I've looked into many, many times and each time that I have. They have put the picture in focus for me.. This time the picture state blurry

The girl then announces that the machine could only take a measurements of NORMAL eyes and since I'd had so many surgeries & eyetrauma, it could not take a measurement of mine. And I would have to be referred to a doctor.

I'm thinking okay......... well where is he?

"Oh, there is no Doctor actually here because we don't do actual glasses examinations, we just do virtual glasses ambinations.

WTF IS A VIRTUAL EXAM???

Anyway, that's when I left.

#eye exam #stanton optical #Odessa #gen x #diy office visit #WTF?#no glasses for me #fml #Spotify

໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -｡꒱ྀི১ it's almost 3 am and I'm eating a coconut yogurt

// I have lore for this sweetie but I'm too tired to type it out right now wahhh ~ I'll update this later I guess ehehehe

*editing this now to add the lore*

Yuki Yawamizu (雪山水)

Hero Name: "Snow Angel" Quirk Type: Emitter Quirk Name: Winter Temper

Occupation: Student/Civilian

Story Behind the Quirk: One day a young Yuki came across a group of boys who were mistreating a mother rabbit and her babies. Upon seeing this the usually reserved Yuki couldn't help but confront them but instead of listening and leaving the rabbits alone the boys continued to mistreat them. Becoming annoyed by Yuki who was trying to stop them the boys pinned Yuki down face first into the freezing snow and ice. Through tear filled rage Yuki was able to stop the bullies by causing a hefty thundersnow storm...seemingly out of nowhere? Upon seeing what Yuki was capable of the boys ran away in cowardice finally leaving the rabbit family alone and although they were gone Yuki found it difficult to stop whatever was occurring with himself, he felt his heart had turned cold. Through the rustling of a snow covered bush Yuki's attention turned back to the precious rabbits which reminded him that the threat was gone and he felt his heart melt. Feeling his kindness once again now that the boys were gone he took off his scarf and used it to warm up the rabbits before parting ways with the fluffy little creatures. After that incident Yuki learned about his quirk and trained hard to control it on his own accord hoping to use it to help others meanwhile not letting his emotions become overwhelming to handle.

Quirk Side Effects: If Yuki overworks his quirk he's prone to fatigue, muscle aches, difficulty regulating body temperature, and migraines. Although he enjoys training and prefers cold weather in general if he's exposed to frigid temperatures for too long he's at risk to developing 3rd degree frostbite (superficial frostbite which reveals an underneath layer of skin and tissue that appears white or grey). Yuki's extremities, such as his ears, nose, cheeks, fingers, and toes, are more often than not red due the training he undergoes. Due to dangerous risks such as the damage and loss of tissue Yuki has yet to train past his breaking point, having an intense fear of developing 4th degree burns (deep frostbite which causes skin to turn black due to the death of cells and the inability for joints and muscles to work) and having to amputate parts of his body alongside developing corneal frostbite which would deeply damage his eyesight if not completely remove it.

Home Life: Yuki and his family reside in Hokkaido. Since the weather is colder than in other regions, especially in the winter, Yuki has always enjoyed colder weather, finding it more natural to him; so much so that he doesn't mind going out in shorts when others would be complaining about the cold! He's the first and only son (23 years old) with a younger sister (12 years old) to a mother (48 years old) and father (53 years old) who make and sell traditional sweets for a living. Though their parents claim that they themselves don't have quirks they do know that there are many people in their families that do which made them understanding when Yuki discovered his quirk. Yuki's sister, Hana Yawamizu (花山水), also seemed to inherit a quirk: Blooming Caress, where she can generate many types of flowers she has seen before with her touch alone, seemingly memory based. However she is still unsure of what exactly she can use it for but can control it willingly.

School Life: Yuki attends 冬百合学園 (Winter Lily Academy), a university where alumni learn about useful information in regards to becoming heroes, civilian safety awareness, and advanced training in order to effectively use their quirks not only for solo use but together with other heroes. Yuki's closest friend, 冥王星大城 (Meiōsei Ōshiro) (22) seems to be the opposite of Yuki: he's dark, taciturn, and firm and yet they get along very well. He's very fond of Yuki, finding himself spoiling and protecting him from harm. The two often practice together; Yuki using his precipitation to cause distractions so Meiōsei can advance his quirk: Phantom Permeation and Meiōsei helping Yuki develop his sense of defense and attack by stealthily moving about in close combat. Every now and then students are to be sent on missions and solve a problem ranging from helping children get along with one another to stopping criminals and villains from carrying out malicious acts. Each year has a rank for students: A, B, C, and D; Rank A meaning the individual has the strength, cooperativeness, and skills to be a substantial hero meanwhile Rank D individuals are just above having power and reliance compared to civilians.

Strengths: cold/rainy/cloudy weather, caring for others, being charismatic = persuading others, is resourceful, very observant

Weaknesses: warm/hot/humid weather, not very physically strong, overwhelmed easily, too selfless, too trusting of others, a bit clueless

Distinguishing Feature(s): beauty mark under his lip (right side)

Charm Point: he's too pure ! (´• ω •`)

// I might draw some more references for Yuki/his family/Meiōsei that is if my arm doesn't snap off ~ the amount of research I had to do is so tiring, I bet my search history looks insane right now !

I'll put a quick meanings behind the names:

Yuki's name "雪山水" = Snow Mountain+Water

Hana's name "花山水" = Flower Mountain+Water

Meiōsei's name "冥王星大城" = Darkness+King+Planet Great+Castle

that's it for now ~ *passes out*

The Hazards of Excessive Soorma Use: Understanding its Effects on Eye Health

Soorma, also known as kohl, has held a revered place in traditional eye makeup across various cultures for centuries. Particularly within the Muslim community, the application of soorma is steeped in rich cultural heritage and remains a prevalent practice today. While it's widely believed that soorma can offer benefits to eye health, recent findings suggest that its excessive use may come with significant drawbacks.

Numerous studies indicate that overusing soorma can detrimentally impact vision and lead to persistent itchiness and irritation of the eyes. Scientific research advises a cautious approach, recommending the application of soorma once or twice a day rather than indulging in frequent or prolonged use.

While respected for its ability to enhance attractiveness of one's eyes with its deep, dark pigment, excessive soorma application poses notable risks to eye health. In this article, we delve into the adverse effects of over-reliance on soorma and underline the importance of moderation in its usage.

The Tradition of Soorma:

Soorma holds immense cultural significance, often symbolizing beauty and offering purported protective properties. Beyond its cosmetic appeal, soorma has been historically regarded for its medicinal virtues, including its soothing and cooling effects on the eyes. Nonetheless, like any substance applied near sensitive areas such as the eyes, exercising moderation and care is paramount to prevent adverse effects.

Excessive Soorma Use:

1. Irritation and Inflammation: Overusing soorma can lead to irritation and inflammation of the eyes. Ingredients commonly found in soorma, such as lead sulfide and carbon, can prove abrasive and harsh on delicate eye tissues, resulting in redness, itching, and discomfort.

2. Allergic Reactions: Soorma may contain allergens that trigger adverse reactions in some individuals, including swelling, itching, and excessive tearing of the eyes. Severe allergic responses could even manifest as dermatitis or conjunctivitis, worsening eye discomfort and inflammation.

3. Risk of Infection: Excessive soorma use heightens the risk of eye infections due to the potential breeding ground it creates for bacteria and pathogens. Poor hygiene practices, such as sharing applicators or using expired products, further elevate the likelihood of infections like bacterial conjunctivitis or styes.

4. Corneal Abrasions: Certain formulations of soorma may have abrasive properties, increasing the risk of corneal abrasions or injuries to the corneal surface. Corneal abrasions can cause pain, blurred vision, and light sensitivity, necessitating prompt medical intervention to prevent complications.

5. Lead Poisoning: Traditional soorma formulations containing lead-based compounds pose significant health risks, especially with prolonged exposure. Lead poisoning can lead to neurological damage and developmental delays, particularly in children. Ingestion or absorption of lead through the eyes can result in lead toxicity, underscoring the importance of caution when using soorma products.

While soorma holds cultural significance and aesthetic appeal, its excessive use can profoundly affect eye health. From irritation and allergic reactions to the risk of infection and lead poisoning, the drawbacks of overusing soorma are evident. It is essential to use soorma sparingly, opt for products with safe ingredients, and prioritize stringent hygiene practices to safeguard eye health. By exercising moderation and caution, individuals can appreciate the beauty of soorma without compromising their ocular well-being.

Case Study: Fatima's Eye Health Journey

Fatima, a 35-year-old woman from a traditional household, had been using soorma for years as part of her daily routine. Recently, she started experiencing persistent discomfort and dryness in her eyes, accompanied by occasional itching and redness. Concerned about her deteriorating eye health, Fatima decided to seek medical advice.

Upon examination, at Sanjeevan for Perfect Eyesight, Mumbai, ophthalmologists diagnosed Fatima with severe dry eye syndrome, attributing it to the prolonged and excessive use of soorma. The abrasive nature of certain soorma formulations had caused irritation and inflammation, leading to the development of dry eyes.

To address Fatima's condition, a personalized treatment plan was devised. This included prescription Netra Jyoti eye drops to lubricate and hydrate the eyes, along with lifestyle modifications to reduce soorma usage and improve ocular hygiene practices.

Over time, Fatima's symptoms gradually subsided, and she experienced relief from the discomfort caused by dry eyes. Regular follow-up appointments allowed healthcare professionals to monitor her progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Fatima's case highlights the potential risks associated with excessive soorma use and underscores the importance of seeking timely medical attention for eye-related concerns. Through proper diagnosis and targeted intervention, individuals like Fatima can mitigate the adverse effects on their eye health and maintain clear vision and comfort.Data Insights:

Studies indicate a rising trend in eye-related complications attributed to excessive soorma use, with a noticeable increase in cases reported annually.

Analysis of patient records reveals a correlation between prolonged soorma application and the development of dry eye syndrome, particularly among individuals using traditional formulations.

Surveys conducted among affected individuals highlight a lack of awareness regarding the potential risks of overusing soorma, emphasizing the need for education and preventive measures within communities.

Fatima's journey serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of mindful usage and proper eye care practices to safeguard ocular health in today's society.

In conclusion, this blog sheds light on the potential risks associated with excessive soorma use and emphasizes the importance of moderation and caution when incorporating traditional cosmetic practices into daily routines. While soorma holds cultural significance and aesthetic appeal, it is crucial to acknowledge its potential drawbacks, particularly concerning eye health.

Fatima's case study serves as a poignant reminder of the impact that unchecked cosmetic habits can have on ocular well-being. Her journey highlights the need for awareness and education surrounding proper eye care practices, especially within communities where soorma is deeply ingrained in cultural traditions.

As we navigate the delicate balance between tradition and modernity, it is essential to prioritize health and safety. By advocating for informed decision-making, promoting safe cosmetic alternatives, and encouraging regular eye examinations, we can empower individuals to safeguard their vision and overall ocular health.

Ultimately, through education, awareness, and responsible usage, we can ensure that the beauty of cultural traditions like soorma remains harmoniously intertwined with the preservation of eye health for generations to come.

Needles in Eyes

Sticking needles in your eyes might not be as bad as it seems. Any loss or damage to the inner layer of the cornea – the clear surface of the eye – can be permanent and lead to progressive sight loss. Corneal transplantation is the only available solution, and is invasive and limited, so researchers have developed a spiky new approach to restoring lost or damaged cells. They created a sheet of nanoneedles (green in the human cornea sample pictured) that can embed within the inner layer of cornea cells (red and blue), nestling down to the perfect depth. These needles can then directly deliver small strands of genetic material that interfere with a particular gene involved in keeping growth in check. With that silenced, cell growth increased. The nanoneedles can be integrated in contact lenses for long term drug delivery, restoring sight without sore eyes.

anyway all my dogs are broken at this time and I'm very tired about it

(Benton won't stop licking his thigh creases until they get red and sore; Tribble has Yet Another Goddamn Corneal Ulcer; Matilda is not herself broken in body technically but she smeared me with turd last night and had to be bathed immediately so no one in the house is without sin)

#swear to fuck though #never ever ever again will i own another dog with bulgey eyes #never ever ever #at the moment we are doing a number of unpleasant things to try and fix it and all humans are sleep deprived #and of course if anything moves in the bedroom Matilda has to yell about it

Going through ABFM CKSA questions:

An acute red eye is a common presentation in primary care and it is critical to differentiate serious causes from benign causes. Pain is an important distinguishing feature for the acute red eye. Episcleritis is a self-limited condition that can be idiopathic or associated with autoimmune conditions. It is more common in females and usually presents with mild discomfort and focal hyperemia. Discerning episcleritis from scleritis is important. In general, the inflamed vessels of episcleritis will move with gentle pressure from a cotton-tipped applicator whereas those with scleritis will not, and the pain of scleritis is more intense. The treatment of episcleritis is symptomatic with topical lubricants and oral NSAIDs. If recurrent episodes occur, an autoimmune workup should be considered. Conjunctivitis is typically associated with a discharge that is clear in viral cases and mucopurulent in bacterial cases. Iritis is associated with significant pain, a poorly reactive pupil, diminished vision, and photophobia. This patient does not have changes in visual acuity, photophobia, or severe pain as seen in keratitis, which would also cause an abnormal fluorescein stain showing corneal ulceration.

A Cochrane review reports good evidence that salicylic acid is effective for the treatment of plantar warts. Candida injections may be indicated for warts that are difficult to treat, but they are not considered a first-line treatment. The application of duct tape has not been shown to be more effective than placebo. Manual paring and extraction of plantar warts carries a greater risk for complications and is not necessary for flat, minimally bothersome warts. Laser treatment may be effective, but the cost is not justified as initial therapy in this case.

Do You Have Skin With Rosacea?

Acne Rosacea Skin with Rosacea presents itself with redness on your skin, visible blood vessels, bumps (they can be solid bumps or pus-filled pimples), and pimples that primarily affect the center of your face. Around 16 million Americans suffer from Rosacea, making it a widespread condition, yet the exact cause is unknown. Read on to learn what triggers rosacea flare-ups, symptoms to look out for, and proven treatment options to reduce facial redness and irritation from this troublesome skin disorder.

Skinception's Soothing Rosacea Serum

What is Rosacea and What Causes It?

Rosacea is a common inflammatory skin condition that results in pronounced facial redness and bumps that resemble acne. It typically begins between ages 30-50 and tends to affect those with fair skin. While the cause is unknown, rosacea often runs in families and has been linked to immune system dysfunction, microscopic mites living on the skin, and blood vessel abnormalities. The condition develops in phases, beginning with flushing and visible blood vessels on the nose and cheeks. Without treatment, facial redness becomes more persistent, the skin may thicken and enlarge, and bumps and pimples appear. In severe cases, the nose may become swollen and enlarged from excess tissue. Ocular rosacea can cause red, irritated eyes.

What Triggers Rosacea Flare-Ups?

Many factors can trigger rosacea flare-ups and worsen symptoms. Common rosacea triggers include: - Sun exposure - Hot weather or overheating - Spicy foods - Alcohol - Emotional stress - Hot beverages - Certain skin care products - Strenuous exercise Avoiding personal triggers is key to preventing flare-ups and keeping rosacea under control. Keeping a rosacea diary can help identify your unique triggers.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Rosacea

Rosacea Rosacea has several distinct signs and symptoms to look out for: - Flushing or frequent blushing - Persistent redness on the nose, chin, cheeks, and forehead - Small blood vessels visible on the face - Acne-like bumps or pimples on the cheeks, nose, and forehead - Watery, irritated eyes (ocular rosacea) - Thickening or enlarged nose tissue (advanced rosacea) - Burning or stinging facial skin The presence of one or more of these symptoms may signal rosacea, especially if the redness lasts longer than 10 minutes. See a dermatologist for an evaluation.

Ocular Rosacea

A subtype of rosacea known as ocular rosacea causes irritation and inflammation of the eyes. About 50% of people with rosacea also experience ocular (of or connected with the eyes or vision) symptoms. Signs and symptoms may include redness, burning, itching, excessive tearing, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and sensation of a foreign object in the eye. This condition results from inflammation of the oil glands around the eyelids. Left untreated, it may cause eye dryness, recurrent styes, swollen eyelids, and potential vision loss from corneal damage. Using preservative-free artificial tears, warm compresses, and ophthalmic medications can help control symptoms. It is important that you see an ophthalmologist at the first signs of eye irritation, as prompt treatment is key to preventing permanent eye problems. Maintaining eyelid hygiene and following a rosacea skin care regimen may also provide relief.

Rosacea Treatment

Since there is no single test for rosacea, diagnosis involves assessing symptoms and ruling out similar conditions like acne, allergies, and eczema. Once diagnosed, treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing progression. Self-help measures include avoiding triggers, using only gentle skin care products, and diligent sun protection with SPF 30 or higher. Green-tinted makeup and creams can neutralize facial redness. If self-care isn't enough, medications or laser therapy may be prescribed. Common rosacea treatments include: - Topical antibiotics to reduce inflammation - Low-dose oral antibiotics - Topical brimonidine to constrict blood vessels - Intense pulsed light therapy to diminish small blood vessels - Isotretinoin for severe, cystic rosacea With professional treatment and lifestyle adjustments, most people can achieve control over rosacea symptoms and keep flare-ups to a minimum. Though incurable, rosacea can often be effectively managed with the right care plan.

10 Tips for Skin Care and Reducing Rosacea Flare-Ups

Implementing a combination of self-help measures and medical treatment can help those with rosacea lead normal, fulfilling lives virtually free of flare-ups. Here are 10 tips: - Identify and avoid your personal rosacea triggers - Apply broad-spectrum, mineral sunscreen daily with SPF 30+ - Protect your face with wide-brimmed hats outdoors - Choose gentle skin cleansers labeled “non-irritating” - Handle skin gently, avoiding scrubbing or harsh products - Apply moisturizers and cosmetics designed for sensitive skin - Reduce skin irritants like alcohol, spices, heat, and extreme temperatures - Drink plenty of water and eat a healthy, balanced diet - Manage emotional stress through self-care practices like yoga - See a dermatologist to create a customized treatment plan Controlling rosacea takes patience and perseverance, but significant improvement is possible. Pay close attention to your unique symptoms and triggers, and be proactive with self-care and medical treatment. With the right approach, it is possible to minimize rosacea's visible signs and live life normally.

National Rosacea Society Survey - Insurance Cover for Rosacea Patients

The survey was conducted by the National Rosacea Society and published on July 25, 2023. The findings show that while most patients have insurance coverage for prescription rosacea medications, few have coverage for laser treatments, resulting in many patients paying high out-of-pocket costs or delaying treatment. Here is a summary of the key findings from the survey: Survey FindingPercentageHave health insurance97%Insurance covers some or all prescription rosacea medication71%Insurance covers laser/light therapy3layed treatment due to lack of insurance or high copays52%Paid out-of-pocket for rosacea treatment66%Out-of-pocket $100013%Results from a survey of 560 rosacea patients.

Let's talk about worker's compensation the and vision problems. My vision right now is so and so. You know it could be a lot better but I guess things could be a lot worse.

First of all I nearly compromised my vision last Thursday morning due which resulted in a minor accident. I could barely spot the changes until afternoon rolled around.

Subtle differences in my vision after some debris fell on my head. I thought, shake it off, nothing's wrong and get on with my day. I push out a lot of freight but I found out I couldn't even do that.

Turns out it made a very big difference.

Sensitivity to light and changes in vision in my right eye and it looked as though someone punched me in the face.

Redness and swelling.

Not even rinsing my eyes out with tap water would help me.

It would take me six hours before I'd convince myself to go to an ER to find out what the problem was. But I didn't think it was that bad aside from the sharp stabbing pain I was experiencing I thought it would pass.

Lay down with a wet warm rag over your eyes and your vision will bounce back?

Right?

Not the case turns out the ER nurse spotted a small corneal abrasion on my right eye. Turns out that debris had more then a bunch of dust particles that found it's way into my field of vision.

But that's still not the end of the story.

Visit the optometrist who clears your vision is and cornea are perfectly fine.

Great.

Here's some eye drops to take while the minor corneal abrasion heals itself.

But that's still not the end of it.

Tuesday rolls around and the microscopic debris that fell into both of my eyes comes back with a vengeance and what do you think happens?

It compromises my field of vision.

But I thought that pass too right?

No.

Back to square one again...

Guess what...

What's in store After Having Lasik Surgery

The post-Lasik period is similarly basically as significant as the actual surgery. The cornea needs to recuperate totally. This requires some investment and requires a great deal of after care, which ought to be done fastidiously.

Lasik surgery includes making a corneal fold, which permits the laser to gain admittance and reshape the inward corneal surface.

Dr. Seema Behl- Dry Eye Checkup Treatment in Andheri East

Are you tired of dealing with dry, red, or fatigued eyes? Look no further than Smart Vision Eye Centre in Andheri, where Dr. Seema Behl offers expert dry eye treatment solutions. Let's delve into the world of dry eye syndrome, its causes, symptoms, tests, treatment options, and prevention strategies to help you understand and manage this common eye condition effectively.

Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome stems from insufficient lubrication and moisture on the eye's surface, leading to a spectrum of symptoms ranging from mild irritation to significant inflammation. This prevalent condition often prompts visits to eye care professionals seeking relief and solutions.

Types and Causes of Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome can be triggered by various factors that disrupt the healthy tear film, comprising fatty oils, aqueous fluid, and mucus. Understanding the root causes of dry eyes is pivotal in effectively managing this condition and finding suitable treatment options.

Common Causes of Dry Eyes

Tear Film Dysfunction: Issues with any of the tear film's three layers can result in dry eyes. Hormonal changes, autoimmune diseases, inflamed eyelid glands, or allergic eye conditions can contribute to this dysfunction.

Decreased Tear Production: Insufficient tear production or increased tear evaporation can lead to dry eyes. Aging, hormonal changes, and certain medications are common factors affecting tear production.

Increased Tear Evaporation: Clogged oil glands on the eyelids can escalate tear evaporation. Conditions like posterior blepharitis or reduced blinking frequency can exacerbate this issue.

Underlying Health Conditions: Illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, diabetes, and Sjogren's syndrome can also play a role in dry eye syndrome.

Environmental Factors: Exposure to smoke, wind, dry air, and prolonged screen time can worsen dry eye symptoms.

Age and Gender: Individuals over 50 and women, especially during hormonal fluctuations like pregnancy or menopause, are more susceptible to dry eyes.

Nutritional Deficiencies: Low intake of vitamin A or omega-3 fatty acids can impact tear quality and worsen dry eye symptoms.

Common Symptoms of Dry Eyes

Burning and redness in the eyes

Sensations of soreness, grittiness, or dryness

Eyelids sticking together upon waking

Blurred vision improving after blinking

Periods of excess tears following dry spells

Heavy eyelids and discomfort with contact lenses

Difficulty reading or focusing for extended periods
