I'm really concerned about something that's been happening since I had herpes zoster shingles a couple of weeks ago. I had rashes on my neck and shoulders, all on the left side, but they've mostly cleared up now. However, this morning I noticed I can only twitch my left eye. I came across something online about herpes zoster ophthalmicus, and I'm worried this could be a late effect of the shingles. What should I do about this?

I'm dealing with some really itchy eyes today, and it feels like I've got a bunch of sand in them. My eyes are super red, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Plus, my head feels really heavy on top. Any ideas on what's going on?

That could be Conjunctivitis, visit Ophthalmologist as soon as possible for appropriate management

I've been using eye drops and noticed an improvement in my vision. Are these drops actually being absorbed by the eye lens? I'm really curious if that's what's helping my vision get better.

Hey, I'm a bit concerned because when I woke up last night, everything looked yellow for about a minute before my vision returned to normal. Do you have any idea what the reason for this could be? Should I see a specific type of doctor? Oh, and just in case it matters, I had a C-section on April 5th, 2018. Would appreciate some insights!

This sudden yellowing of vision could be due to a condition called transient vision loss, which can have various causes such as migraines, low blood pressure, or even a temporary disruption in blood flow to the eye. Since you had a c-section in the past, it's important to consider any potential complications related to that procedure as well. I recommend consulting with an Ophthalmologist for a thorough eye examination to rule out any eye-related issues. Additionally, it may be beneficial to see a Neurologist to investigate any underlying neurological causes for this symptom. As for your c-section history, it's important to mention this to both doctors during your consultation for a comprehensive evaluation.
