Convergence Insufficiency

I've had issues with my vision for as long as I can remember, but over the last couple of weeks, I've been especially worried about them. After doing some research, I came across something called Convergence Insufficiency, and I have all the symptoms listed for it.

I'm planning to visit an eye doctor soon to get tested, but I wanted to see if anyone here has had similar experiences. My biggest struggles are in crowded spaces—they really freak me out. The worst, though, is when I'm out walking in forests or at the beach. Looking at trees or the ocean causes a strange flickering effect, almost like hallucinations.

Does anyone else deal with something like this?

I just was taking a photo of my eyes to ask what make up to use when I noticed it. It also looks almost like it has blood under it, but it doesn't actually.. It doesn't feel any different than usual to be honest.. Is this something that seems abnormal and should I have someone look at it?

I had a small stye in June and after it went away, I noticed there was some skin missing in my waterline where the stye was. So it's been about 6 months now and I don't think it has changed. There's a little divot there. Do you think the skin will grow back eventually and if not, is there anything that can be done to correct it?

On October 29th I had a laser photocoagulation / barrier lasering done to repair a small tear. One month post op was good. Vision after 7 weeks is back to normal minus the floaters I had which led me to find my retinal dr. Today in low lighting only I have a small curtain in the upper right. However if I pull my eyelid up or go in a brighter light it disappears. I can see motion in that area and if I use a flashlight the intensity of light doesn’t change. Could I just be the big floater settling into this spot? No flashers , and curtain like thing comes and goes .

hello, i started to use saflohyal to ease my corneal nerve inflammation, it started after a uv light accident 1.5 month ago. my eyes feel so dry since but my doctor said my schirmer is 6-9 but my symptoms are severe. i have extreme photophobia and photoallodynia too, I'm using sunglasses all the time. i used saflohyal twice first day but i did it 3 times the day after (handbill says use it 2-3 times a day). then i felt like a stingy feeling in my eyes. my eyes feel even grittier rn after one day passed. i read the handbill of it, it was saying "severe damages of the ocural surface, band keratopathy and corneal calcification". so i freaked out. i don't wanna go blind while tryna heal myself. i thought they were safer than lotemax... there's only lotemax eye drops in my country and they have bak as a conservative, since it was neurotoxic and also have the risk of glaucoma i didn't want to use it, so does my doctor. do you think phosphate eye drops are too risky to use? how can i reduce inflammation without using lotemax or saflohyal? will i ever be healed?

I had a routine vision appointment made after my vision became more blurry. I’m about to turn 40 and was blaming it on that but I was also suffering from what I thought was dry eye. My vision appointment on 12/5 turned into a medical appointment when the optometrist discovered I had keratitis in both eyes. I was prescribed prednisone drops 4x daily for 10 days. I completed that and my vision returned to my normal and I stopped having painful eyes, photophobia, etc until today. I woke up with the same pain and so I’ve restarted the drops. I have a follow up on 12/26 but I’m curious why this may have returned. I’m not sure if my keratitis is fungal, bacterial or viral. I don’t wear contacts so it can’t be from that. I do work in the medical field with direct patient care in the hospital. I’m just stumped as to how I got this. Any ideas?

Hi all new to this thread.So i have bilateral uveitis.My symptoms started few days ago.I got extreme light sensitivity, heavy floaters in the both eyes,mild headache and blurry vision.My eye dont turn red,but in my left eye i note that the peripheral visional is sometimes hazy, not always.I need to squint heavily to watch distant stuff but i can watch it.

And i also have this sensation where i feel like something is present in the edge of eyes(left eye to be specific).There is also itchiness in the left eye.And funnily enough when i wear a sun glasses i dont have floaters and the light sensitivity is not felt at all.

So i need some advice guys, how to deal with this condition, will this affect lifespan, can we live a normal life ??? My anxiety is pretty bad right now, kindly give me your suggestions.

(28 F) Red and puffy eyelids for over a month

I’m posting this to get some help for a friend, and I hope this is the right subreddit (it’s more related to her under eye and eyelid than her actual eyeball.)

It started as a rash under one eye that itched. She initially thought it was just dryness and tried using Aquaphor, but the rash spread to her eyelid. Eventually, it appeared on her other eye as well.

She saw her GP two weeks ago, who suggested it might be allergies and recommended a few OTC allergy medications. Unfortunately, it hasn’t improved. She hasn’t started using any new products and stopped applying anything on or around her eyes three weeks ago. Her eyes are still itchy and are now sore to the touch.

Does anyone have any ideas about what this could be? Here are some pictures for reference:

I have around a -10 prescription for my glasses, and I work as a professional artist. My contacts work fine but they're about a -8.5 to -9 depending on the eye.

I genuinely cannot see the computer screen or read text well because my glasses red shift or blue shift depending on the direction I tilt my head up/down. My vision is blurry in general especially when I bring my glasses close- if I put them about a half inch off my nose I can see better and the chromatic aberration is less.

Did my optometrist mess up my prescription?

I had to pay like $700 for these even with insurance- how should I approach this?

I'm not comfortable posting pictures, because my eyelids change everyday. I'm a Caucasian woman with a mild Dustmite allergy that was diagnosed three years ago.

Around 12 years ago I've noticed my eyelids changing shape, sometimes appearing round and deepset, completely different from my usual flat and horizontally long appearing eyes.

Unrelated to this, 10 years ago I sought out an oculoplastic surgeon to correct ptosis in my left eye and to do some minor blephoplasty in my right eye caused by brow ptosis.

He asked me if anyone in my family had thyroid issues, and he said he could tell by my eye shape that I had thyroid eye disease, and didn't elaborate further.

Now I have no bulging of my eyes, no eyelid retraction, no vision problems or discomfort of the eye. I have no idea why he told me this. My ptotic eye did have a lid that appeared more round and bulgy but that's it.

I quickly went to my internist and requested a test for antibodies and it came back normal.

A few years later, after my surgery, I moved from Houston to the north east, moved back, developed extreme eyelid swelling and itching, sought out an allergist and got diagnosed with dust mite allergies.

Since then it's gotten better, I don't have the painful itching anymore, but my eyelids do change a lot. If I put hydrocortisone on my lids then both of my lids become flat and symmetrical. And all of a sudden it hits me: was I misdiagnosed because my dust mite allergies mimicked the appearance of thyoid eye disease? It's been bothering me for a decade! Since then my eyes never got worse and never got that classic TED look

Hey guys! I went to the eye doctor yesterday after thinking I had a stye but concerned that it was something else. It turned out to be Preorbital cellulitis, and I took my third dose this morning. It was way more irritated than yesterday this morning, and I’m worried that I might be resistant to the antibiotics? The doc just said it could take a while, but I want to know if anyone’s had the same experience of it getting worse before it gets better? Also, warm compresses seem to irritate it more (the swelling gets worse).

I had a corneal abrasion about 4 months ago. Shortly after I first noticed some floaters and in the months following, I feel I’ve noticed more (a decent amount now). I went to an opthamologst who did an dilated eye exam and they said my eye was healthy, at the optometrist they also did a scan on inside of my eye and mentioned the same thing. My eyes have also felt gritty/dry of late but I think that may be due to drier weather. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible I’ve always had floaters but am now I’m hyper focused on them? Thanks

I'm starting to have some noticeable issues with reading. I can make out the words, but there's a bit of a blur. As such, I'm looking into getting glasses.

I last got tested in September but after trying on a couple pairs I didn't like, I took my prescription and left.

Due to finances, I'm looking at ordering online. I also don't care about quality since these would only be used for reading (laptop for work, occasional novel) and to play a tabletop card game. However, my prescription doesn't include a PD and the office refused to give it when I asked.

I've done some research and I suspect for my situation I only need to be in the ballpark, but I'm unsure. From what I've read, the PD matters more as the "horizontal meridian" increases. I've come to understand this to be the absolute value between the Sphere and Cylinder numbers. Another comment on here mentioned that a meridian of 1.00 would be off by one "prism" if the PD was off my 10mm and they sounded like that wasn't a big deal.

Here's my prescription:

• Right: 0.5 / -1.25 / 170
• Left: 0.0 / -0.5 / 15

As I understand it, this means that the "horizontal medians" would be -0.75 and -0.5, so the PD tolerance might be relatively wide.

I also see that readers would have 3mm removed from the PD. It's unclear if I need to do this or not for my glasses given my use case (I wouldn't use them on walks outdoors for example).

I'm thinking as long as the PD was within, say, 5mm I'd be ok.

Is any of this remotely accurate or am I just spouting nonsense about something I don't understand at all?

Hi there, I recently had a string of tests done due to some concerning neurological symptoms (vertigo/balance issues, numbness/tingling, etc) and one of the tests done was a VEP. Thankfully, all of the other tests were clear and ruled out serious conditions like MS, but my VEP came back abnormal due to "bilateral visual pathway abnormalities." My neurologist suggested I go see the doctor who did my LASIK surgery 6 years ago because apparently there is a correlation. My question is - what could this mean exactly and how would this be corrected? For the most part, I have had 20/20 vision since the LASIK but lately I've noticed random blurred vision where I have to blink a few times to refocus. I also see halos/starbursts when I see lights in the dark (driving at night is not fun). Thanks!

I've discovered that some lines are appearing slightly wavy (mostly black lines). Anyone else experience this or know what this could be? I was worried about AMD. I've got testing done (scans, including an OCT) and apparently my macula/ retina look healthy. These were done recently, within the last 2 months. I tested my sight on the amsler grid and only the outside lines are not perfectly straight.

I do have slight astigmatism, however astigmatism doesn't cause this.

Only medications I'm taking: Dymista, once or twice a day.

Any thoughts?

I casually took a photo of my son earlier and noticed only one red eye reflection. The other eye was normal. I thought I had heard somewhere this was “bad”. Is this something I should be concerned about? Or is this just a random weird camera flash thing?

Recently I've found that my right pupil is consistently bigger than my left. It's something I've noticed for a while but I always chalked it up to the lighting above my mirror, until I started looking for it in other levels of brightness. It's a small difference, less than 1mm, and when looking back at old pictures it's been around since at least June 2023 but not when I was a kid. I've heard anecdotally that SSRIs can cause anisocoria and I was (and still am) on a pretty high dose at that point, so that might be worth mentioning. I have had an optometrist checkup since then, but I didn't bring it up as I hadn't noticed yet.
I have 20/20 vision in both eyes, there's no redness, no swelling or fever, both pupils respond to light together, and I've had no major head injuries or vision changes. There's also never been any problems with eye pressure or anything in the past. I was just gonna wait until my upcoming GP doctor's appointment, but two days ago my right eye started hurting. Best I can describe it is like a tension headache--an aching, tight almost-pressure feeling that follows a path from my eye across to my right ear. It's pretty dull and consistent; it doesn't flare when I move my eye and I dont have a history of migraines, nor do I think it's painful enough to consider. I haven't been having problems with my sinuses either. Admittedly, I have been stressed about the anisocoria since I noticed, and I am prone to anxiety-induced psychosomatic symptoms. It very well could be a tension headache. But I don't recall a headache ever reaching behind my eye, and I've never had eye strain happen on only one side either. I intend to speak to a doctor about this regardless but I'm wondering if there's any possible causes I should know of to discuss? Thanks in advance for any advice!

A few days ago, I felt some dull pain and burning when putting in my contact lens in my right eye. I didn’t think much of it. The pain/burning went away. However, all day yesterday I had what I thought was an ice pick headache above and behind my right eye. It seemed to worsen when moving my eyes around. A friend mentioned that my right eye was very red on the side (see photo below). I went to my optometrist today who diagnosed it as scleritis, possibly idiopathic. He prescribed me a titrated, 4-week course of 0.05% Durezol (Difluprednate) drops.

Of course, I trust his diagnosis first and foremost. However, I’m terrified after looking at the possible causes. I’m curious if anyone else has dealt with this or has thoughts on the diagnosis.

Hey everyone. I’ve been unable to go back to the optometrist until January, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me why my eyelid and under eye that had the infection is now much darker. It’s not painful or itchy. Doesn’t seem swollen? I had antibiotics and it took it away I think? I’m not sure what this is. It’s been two weeks since antibiotics.

Please let me know if you have insights.

Im 28F. Been dealing with mystery eye issues for three years until FINALLY my optometrist says I have scleritis.

Cool. But everything I now google about it is making me scared. Im on steroid drops now and its helped a ton. But im so worried what happened when they run out?

I have crohns disease and am already on an immunosuppressant- Inflectra.

Please tell me there is hope. Can it go away for good? I cannot have something ELSE wrong with me. I just cant. Im so sad right now, sitting in my work bathroom, sobbing about this.

Any advice or help would be highly appreciated.

I've had persistent sub-retinal fluid since my scleral buckle and cryotherapy operation in May. I have noticed the fluid increasing over time and have gone to multiple vitro retinal specialists doctors for help. Some said to wait, some said to treat. Now they are all (3 vitro retinal specialists) saying to treat as the increase is very obvious now.

OCT comparing May to Now https://imgur.com/a/JExGIc2 

I have had different opinions on which operation to go for:

My NHS doctor is advising trying another scleral buckle with cryotherapy to avoid a cataract given I'm still quite young. He said it would be an additional buckle to the one I have along the bottom of my eye (current buckle covers mostly the right side of my right eye - here you can see where they've put the first one https://imgur.com/a/dUiqRFS ). He said that they wouldn't take out the existing buckle, they would just add a second one in. He examined my eye for a very long time when I was asked to look down specifically. I didn't outright ask if he could see another hole but he suggested there is a hole as he said that the fluid is coming from the bottom, which is why he thinks it took a while to build up. He said he would advise a vitrectomy only if the second buckle fails.

Private doctor who I really trust, is saying to go for vitrectomy as he doesn't think another scleral buckle will remove the fluid. When he examined me he couldn't find an obvious break.This is why he says a repeat buckle is less likely to succeed. He says he is leaning toward a vitrectomy as it allows better visualisation and drainage of fluid. Polish specialist also suggested vitrectomy and also couldn't see an obvious break anywhere (but I don't think she offers scleral buckle as an options at all).

My second buckle operation is scheduled for end of January.

I have a few questions:

1. Is it safe to wait until end of Jan? I've had persistent sub-retinal fluid since May, so surely that area of photoreceptors is very atrophied by now. Is there any chance of recovering this sight? The NHS doctor said that this 'sub retinal fluid' is considered a retinal detachment still. If this is a retinal detachment, why is there no urgency of treating it when the first one was an emergency and treated within days?

2. My preference would be buckle as I really don't want a cataract, however given the sub-retinal fluid has been building up and they won't be draining it during the scleral buckle operation does this decrease my chances of a good visual outcome? Would a vitrectomy offer better visual outcome at the expense of a cataract?

3. Theres around 709 um of sub-retinal fluid now. In July it was 304um. Do you know the speed at which fluid reabsorb on average once there's no defects? And is it normal to not drain any with this much fluid present? I understand you might not be able to drain all but surely draining some would be beneficial to the recovery?

4. Could this potential new hole have been caused by the original buckle? As the fluid is not drained, and there is no space for it to go as the eye is squeezed by the buckle, I am just thinking could this have caused the new hole?

5. If you had to advise your patient in such a situation, which operation would you lean towards and why?

Thank you!

Hello together, due to facial paralysis my 5 year old kid’s cornea was damaged (by dryness / dust, in spite of having applied artificial tears regularly). To save his eye, he received a cornea transplant in October.

In addition to the transplant, the doctors performed a temporary lateral tarsorrhaphy, to protect his eye from dryness / dust exposure in the future.

While his cornea recovered well, the tarsorrhaphy stitches ruptured after 3 weeks. In November he underwent a second surgery, this time for a permanent lateral tarsorrhaphy.

This morning I noticed that the stitches ruptured once again… even though this should not have happened.

Tomorrow is his next appointment, we will check with the doctors what is to be done next. In the meantime, as this is a pretty uncommon situation, I’d like to ask for any advice and tipps. Is it common for a tarsorrhaphy to rupture? Now that the permanent stitches have ruptured… What other options are available for him?

Thank you very much in advance.

Claritin daily, Flonase daily, lisinopril 10mg daily, Tylenol as needed. no medical conditions. slightly nearsighted. work on a computer then game on one most of the day.

Already went to the ER and they found nothing urgent. Follow up with eye doc today. But I can’t find much on what the heck this was so here I am.

Sitting on the couch, looking down at my phone, I notice my right thumb keeps disappearing. Never noticed before. I assume I became aware of my blind spot, so I look up and straight and start moving my hand around. My blind spot in my right eye is now very obvious in a larger area than my left.

Weird.

I then notice that I can see sort of an afterglow in that area, as if I looked at a bright light then looked away.

Then there’s what looked like multicolor flashing in a crescent shape, on the right edge of my vision in that eye. There’s also a bolt of lightning that moves with my eye, also flashing.
I look down at my phone to call my partner and can’t see the screen as well as I could only minutes before so I head to the ER.

5 minute drive and it’s already improved by the time I arrive. By the time the doc sees me I’m back to normal.

No other symptoms but I did have a decent sinus headache AFTER I got home from the hospital. Not during the event.

Any ideas?

Hi everyone

I’m a 25-year-old black. male, and I was diagnosed with a corneal ulcer 14 months after undergoing a full-thickness corneal transplant. The ulcer seems to have been caused by using Ketorolac eye drops for about 28 days to treat macular edema.

Since my transplant, I had been using Prednisolone acetate eye drops to prevent rejection. However, these were abruptly stopped after the corneal ulcer diagnosis. My current treatment consists of ciprofloxacin eye drops and a bandage contact lens.

I’m concerned about two things:

1. Could abruptly stopping the Prednisolone acetate increase the risk of graft rejection?

2. Does having a corneal ulcer impact the long-term survival of a corneal transplant?

I’d really appreciate any insights or experiences related to this. Thank you!

Hello, so basically what happened was, on 12/14, Saturday night I was watching UFC with some friends when suddenly my right eye started feeling very odd and I had to blink many times basically to focus on the tv, something was going wrong with my right eye. I went into the bathroom and noticed that the white part of my eye was starting to get red so I washed it out and thought nothing of it. It was still feeling uncomfortable afterwards. About an hour or two after when the event ended I went home and that's when the irritation started to really kick in. My eyeball got swollen and it was just turning into everything that I thought was pink eye. I have had no physical trauma to the eye or have touched my eye, as I'm very careful about washing my hands before I touch my face let alone my eyes. Regardless I don't really touch my eyes at all. Now just to give some context, about 6-7 months ago in june I got a corneal abrasion from boxing and also had to get surgery for a detached retina in the same exact eye that is having problems now(right eye)which healed perfectly fine and I have had no problems at all since. So, I know what a corneal abrasion feels like and it was extremely painful. Fast forward to the next day, Sunday, I couldn't really open my right eye because the eye was swollen and every time I would open it there would be like a sharp uncomfortable feeling not necessary pain but just extremely uncomfortable to the point where I couldn't keep it open for long(it was tearing up fast so I couldn't see anything anyways) I figured it was just because my eye was swollen. I'm not getting any discharge or crust just a bunch of tears and my eye being swollen. My vision in my right eye is also blurred compared to my normal eye which really at this point is the only thing bothering me. Fast forward now to Monday, I can open my eye now and keep it open for quite a bit it just tears up very fast due to sensitivity to light and all of the cars and made it hard to see, I had to endure that because I had to go to traffic court 30 minutes away so I just tanked through it and made it there and home even though it was extremely uncomfortable trying to drive with alot of tears in my eyes. No pain or anything still just the uncomfortable feeling from before from keeping my eye open for too long. Now to Tuesday, which is the day im writing this post, everything is better, I can now keep my eye open for as long as I want, the entire day pretty much. there is no more uncomfortable feeling in my eye at all, the redness is also partially going away, my eye is still red but not as red. My eyes are also not tearing up like before.

-SO I write all that to say this. I have regular health insurance but no coverage for vision. the stuff i went through 6 months ago with the detachment I had to pay out of pocket so I would rather not have to go pay $600 for a check up just to find out that I have regular pink eye.

I'm leaning towards it being pink eye but I'm not too sure so I wanted some opinions from people with more knowledge than me,

-I have had no pain this entire time at all other than the uncomfortable aspect of the swollen eye like the first 2 days , I know what an abrasion pain feels like and that was BAD and there was no pain at all not even 20% of the pain i felt from my past corneal abrasion.

-I have had no discharge or crust this entire time which is what throws me off pink eye, just a bunch of clear tears.

-my vision in my right eye is still blurry, its blurry to the point where its kind of bothering me but not really as I can still drive pretty normal (this is really the only thing bothering me about it everything else is cool)

-I'm not sure as to how I got this infection or whatever it is as I am very careful about touching my face let alone my eyes before washing my hands, I also never really touch my eyes regardless. I've also had no physical trauma to the eye at all or i would've already chalked it up to being an abrasion.

-on Monday which was yesterday, while driving to court I had a lot of sensitivity to light to the point where it was tearing up my eyes bad(both eyes not just the bad right eye) because of all the car lights and such to the point where I could barely drive. now today, Tuesday, there is still sensitivity to light but it is not as bad as all the other days.

What do you guys think? again nothing is really bothering me except for the blurry vision as I'm worried it could be something bad because all the online info seems to say that blurry vision is a rare symptom of pink eye and that it could be cause for concern and then again my past as well with it happening to be in the same eye i got surgery in but then again its only been about 3 days. should I wait longer and see? or go see a regular doc(something that my insurance covers)

Thank you guys!

Earlier I was laying down on my girlfriends chest and I took off my glasses and tossed them on my bed and she for some reason trapped them and but then on her chest in front of my face in a closed position. We were moving and one of the plastic ends of the arms poked my eye. Should I get it checked out by an eye doctor? I don’t feel intense pain and my vision to my knowledge seems alright, but I’m just trying to be responsible and make the right choice here because I only have one working eye. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone. Wondering if anybody has experienced something similar or has any ideas what this might be. I’m also trying to schedule an appt to be seen by my doctor but that probably won’t be possible until after the holidays. This all started about 2 weeks ago. 1st week was a small bump and some redness, now this. I don’t feel any irritation in my eye. But it doesn’t seem to be getting much better. Also the picture doesn’t do it justice, it looks redder in person.

As per the title a few years ago I ended up with an orbital fracture in one my eye sockets in 3 different places.

I was supposed to have surgery for this at the time but I foolishly refused and have found myself now years later suffering from complications from it such as my eye both sinking in and down and also seems to be sinking into a pointed fragment of bone from the fracture which is really worrying.

As mentioned I foolishly refused the surgery as I was told there was a risk of me losing my vision and since I've got amblyopia in my other eye the one with the fracture is my only working eye.

The sinking of my eye has been affecting my vision for a good while now and the look of it has also effecting my mental health for even longer.

I am hoping for some advice such as is the surgery worth the risk? And will it also help my eye recover to how it used to be?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hello Doctors of reddit! I 21(f) have taken sandoz tobramycin to treat my chalazion. On the 4th or 5th day I accidentally missed a dosage by 2 hours and immediately took the eye drop as soon as I noticed as instructed. A few hours later I noticed an increased heart rate, clamy hands, and symptoms of a mild panic attack, which I am familiar with due to my anxiety disorder. I decided to wait it out and I went back to normal. The next day I stopped taking the medicine due to that terrifying experience. However, everyday since that episode I noticed that around the same time I get the same feeling again reliving the episode. I am wondering if there are any interactions with sandoz tobramycin and anxiety or escitalopram (the anxiety medication I am currently on.) On top of that throughout the day, esp after a meal my heart rate jumps to 110-100 which has never happened before and takes a 2 ish hours to return back to my normal rate 70 bpm. Did the eye drops react with my anxiety medicine poorly or is it something else?

also not sure if this is relevant but I've had a similar experience before where apo naproxen I took caused terrible anxiety symptoms. I also had GERD at one point but it seems to have resolved itself.
