Question 1

Ive been feeling heaviness around my left eye and the surrounding area for the past six months. My eyes are often teary. I saw an eye specialist who said my eyes are fine, but an ENT doctor diagnosed me with sinusitis. Can sinusitis affect the eyes, and how can I manage this?

Accepted Answer

Yes, sinusitis can affect the eyes, causing symptoms like heaviness, teary eyes, and pressure around the eyes due to inflammation in the sinus cavities. To cope, treatment may include decongestants, nasal sprays, steam inhalation, and possibly antibiotics if an infection is present. Consult your ENT specialist for further management.

Question 2

Hi Doctor, Ive noticed that the power of my glasses keeps increasing every 6 months, and my eyesight seems to be getting worse. Im really worried about it. Is there anything I can do to improve my vision or prevent it from getting worse?

Accepted Answer

Dont worry, your spectacle power should stabilise within the next 5 years or so. Only after this happens, can u think about laser surgery to correct your vision.

Question 3

Hi doctor, for the last 10 minutes, Ive been seeing a black ring in my vision, but only when I look to the right side. Its just appeared suddenly, and Im a bit worried. Could this be something serious?

Question 4

I used to masturbate a lot during my 12th grade and would even play sports right after. Now, I only do it once a week or sometimes once in a fortnight. Im 22 years old and recently started wearing glasses with a 0.5 prescription. Im concerned if my p...

Accepted Answer

Masturbation does not have any direct negative effects on your health or eyes. Wearing glasses with a power of 0.5 is a common prescription for mild vision issues and is not typically related to masturbation. It is important to maintain a balanced lifestyle with regular exercise, healthy diet, and adequate sleep for overall well-being. If you have any specific concerns about your health or eyes, it is recommended to consult with an ophthalmologist for a thorough evaluation.

Question 5

Ive been feeling a tingling sensation around my left eye, kind of like when you touch a nerve and feel a little pulse. Its not painful, but I can see my eyelid move a little when it happens. Its been going on for about 4-5 days now, and Im not sure i...

Accepted Answer

This sensation you are experiencing in your left eye, known as eyelid twitching or myokymia, is usually benign and can be caused by stress, fatigue, caffeine, or eye strain. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try using lubricating eye drops and practicing stress-relief techniques. Additionally, you can take a supplement containing magnesium to help relax the muscles.

Question 6

My left eye feels like its being pulled from behind on the temporal side whenever I take off my glasses to read. Ive been using glasses for myopia since I was 18, and my current prescription is -4 for the left eye and -3 for the right. Ive had this p...

Accepted Answer

The sensation of your left eyeball being pulled from behind on the temporal side when removing glasses for reading may be related to eye strain, convergence insufficiency, or accommodative spasm, which can occur due to prolonged near vision tasks; consider consulting an eye care professional for a comprehensive evaluation, and discuss potential corrective measures, such as adjusting your glasses prescription, incorporating eye exercises, or using reading glasses with a different power.
