नमस्ते,

आपकी दोनों आँखों से अत्यधिक पानी गिरने के कई कारण हो सकते हैं, जैसे कि एलर्जी, सूखी आँखें, या टियर डक्ट (आंसू नलिका) का ब्लॉक होना। सही निदान के लिए एक विस्तृत जांच आवश्यक है।

कुछ सामान्य सुझाव:

  • यदि यह एलर्जी के कारण है, तो एंटीहिस्टामिन ड्रॉप्स या दवाओं की सलाह दी जा सकती है।
  • सूखी आँखों के मामले में, आर्टिफिशियल आंसू (lubricating drops) मदद कर सकते हैं।
  • अगर टियर डक्ट ब्लॉक होने की संभावना है, तो ओप्थैल्मोलॉजिस्ट द्वारा उपयुक्त उपचार की सलाह दी जाएगी।

कृपया जल्द से जल्द किसी विशेषज्ञ से सम्पर्क करें ताकि वे आपके लक्षणों का सही मूल्यांकन कर सकें और उचित उपचार प्रदान कर सकें। अगर आपको विशेषज्ञ से कंसल्टेशन करवाने में कोई सहायता चाहिए, तो हम यहां HexaHealth पर आपकी मदद करने के लिए उपलब्ध हैं।

Hello Ajay,

We understand your concern regarding low vision and its impact on daily life and job opportunities. To help you better, we need some additional details:

🔹 Do you have any diagnosed eye condition like high myopia, amblyopia, or retinal disorder?

Hello Priya ji,

Thank you for reaching out. Cataract is a common condition; timely treatment can significantly improve vision and quality of life.


Suggested Treatment Options

  1. Cataract Surgery

    • Phacoemulsification: A modern, minimally invasive surgery where the clouded lens is removed, and an artificial lens (Intraocular Lens or IOL) is implanted.
    • Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery: A more advanced procedure using lasers for precision,
    • Types of Lenses: Options include monofocal, multifocal, and toric lenses. Your choice may depend on your budget, lifestyle needs, and vision goals.

  2. Non-Surgical Management

    • If the cataract is in an early stage, stronger glasses or anti-glare coatings may temporarily help manage symptoms, but surgery is the definitive treatment.

To assist you better, could you please share

Hello,

An eye stroke, often referred to as anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION), occurs due to reduced blood flow to the optic nerve, which can result in vision loss. The treatment approach will depend on the severity of the damage, underlying causes, and how quickly it is addressed.

Consider:

  1. A prompt consultation with an ophthalmologist or a neuro-ophthalmologist is important. They will assess the extent of damage and identify potential causes, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or vascular issues.
  2. Anti-inflammatory medicines may help reduce inflammation and swelling in the optic nerve.
  3. Controlling blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, or other vascular risk factors is essential.
  4. If vision loss is permanent, therapies and assistive devices may improve quality of life. Low-vision aids like Magnifiers, specialized glasses, or digital aids can help her adapt.
  5. Further tests may be recommended to check for any structural or neurological issues.

Pushpanjali Eye Care is a reputed eye hospital. It’s worth visiting if they specialize in neuro-ophthalmology or have expertise in treating optic nerve conditions. For the consultation, carry all previous medical records, test results, and prescriptions.

Hello Subharao jI,

The following precautions are recommended post-cataract surgery:

  • Be gentle with your eye and avoid touching, rubbing, or pressing on the operated eye to prevent irritation or infection.

  • Take the prescribed eye drops and medications as directed by your doctor to prevent infection and reduce inflammation.

  • Do not let water enter the operated eye while washing your face, showering, or swimming for at least 2-4 weeks. This helps avoid infections.

  • Use an eye shield or sunglasses when sleeping and when outdoors to protect the eye from dust, wind, and sunlight.

  • Refrain from heavy lifting, bending over, or any physical activity that could increase pressure in the eye for at least one month.

  • Avoid driving, especially at night, until your doctor confirms that your vision has stabilized and that you are safe to drive.

  • Take frequent breaks if you need to use a computer or smartphone, as prolonged screen time can cause eye strain.

  • Attend all follow-up appointments with your ophthalmologist to monitor healing and detect any complications early.

  • Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any sudden vision loss, eye pain, redness, or discharge.

Hello Ehtasham Ji,

We are sorry to hear about the vision loss in your left eye.

Given the complete vision loss in your left eye, it is recommended to consult an eye specialist as soon as possible for a thorough examination. They may suggest tests like optical coherence tomography (OCT) or fundus examination to determine the cause and potential treatment options.

Hello Anushya Ji,

To treat a chalazion or stye, start with warm compresses on the affected area for 10-15 minutes, several times a day—this can help reduce swelling and promote drainage. Gently massaging after the compress may also aid drainage. Avoid squeezing a stye, as this can spread infection. Over-the-counter antibiotic ointments or lubricating eye drops can help. If symptoms persist, consult an ophthalmologist; they may recommend further treatment like drainage or medication.

For specialist help, HexaHealth can connect you with an experienced ophthalmologist.

Hello Anil Ji,

Reduced vision in one eye, especially if it's been happening for 10 days, can be due to several reasons. Some possible causes include:

Common Causes:

  1. Refractive Error: A sudden vision change could be due to issues like myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism, and she may need spectacles.
  2. Cataract: At the age of 40, early signs of cataracts can sometimes cause blurred or reduced vision.
  3. Retinal Issues: Conditions like retinal detachment or macular degeneration can lead to sudden vision changes in one eye.
  4. Glaucoma: Increased eye pressure may cause gradual vision loss and can be more noticeable in one eye.

Next Steps:

She should consult an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) immediately to determine the exact cause and start the appropriate treatment.

You can also connect with HexaHealth for guidance and to find the best eye specialists in your area.

नमस्ते नवनीत जी,

आपकी समस्या को समझते हुए, बिना चश्मे के धुंधला या साफ़ न दिखना आमतौर पर दृष्टि से संबंधित समस्याओं जैसे कि मायोपिया (दूर की नजर कमजोर होना) या हाइपरमेट्रोपिया (पास की नजर कमजोर होना) का संकेत हो सकता है। कुछ मामलों में यह आंखों में मोतियाबिंद या रेटिना से जुड़ी समस्याओं का भी संकेत हो सकता है।

आपको सलाह दी जाती है कि आप एक नेत्र चिकित्सक से परामर्श लें, ताकि आपकी दृष्टि की पूरी जांच की जा सके और सही उपचार या चश्मे का नंबर दिया जा सके। यदि आप चाहें तो हमारे प्लेटफॉर्म के जरिए विशेषज्ञ से अपॉइंटमेंट बुक कर सकते हैं।

Hello Gagan,

Door ki nazar kamzor hai? Yeh common problem hai, par chinta mat kijiye. Aap apne aas paas ke doctors se milke apni najar ka test karva sakte hain aur sahi treatment ke liye salah le sakte hain. Kuch common treatment options mein LASIK aur ICL surgery shamil hain:

  1. LASIK Surgery: Ye ek popular surgical procedure hai jo refractive errors ko thik karta hai, jaise ki nearsightedness, farsightedness, aur astigmatism. Isme laser ka istemal hota hai cornea ko reshape karne ke liye, jisse aapki najar mein sudhar hota hai.
  2. ICL Surgery (Implantable Collamer Lens): ICL surgery mein ek micro-thin lens aapki eye ke ander implant kiya jata hai, jo aapki existing lens ke samne fit hota hai aur aapki najar ko thik karta hai. Ye surgery un logo ke liye bhi faydemand hai jo LASIK ke liye eligible nahi hote.

In dono surgeries mein se kaunsa treatment aapke liye sahi hai, iske liye ek eye specialist se consult karna zaruri hai. Unki salah ke adhar par aapko behtar aur personalised treatment mil sakega.

Adhik jaankari ke liye HexaHealth se sampark karein.
