Question 1

I've been dealing with Keratoconus since I was 18, diagnosed back in 2014. In 2015, I had corneal collagen cross-linking on my left eye. My vision's always been a concern, especially with my left eye where I've been using Rosek2 contact lenses. Right now, my vision in the right eye seems fairly stable with minimal blur, but the left eye seems to be getting worse, especially when I look at my records over the years. The readings keep changing, especially the K1, K2, and the thinnest part of the cornea. Should I be worried about these changes over the years, and is there anything else I should be keeping an eye on or considering treatment-wise to maintain or improve my vision?

yes,visit your foe appropriate management

Question 2

My husband travels a lot for work, mostly on his bike, and recently I've noticed that the whites of his eyes aren't clear white anymorethey look red, like in this picture I have. He's not experiencing any irritation, burning sensation, or vision problems, so I'm wondering why his eyes are red. Could this be something we should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I'm a little worried because I'm 25 and dealing with some health issues. I've been noticing more and more eye floaters this past month, but my ophthalmologist says my eyes are fine after doing an OCT. They suggested I take Vitreon sachets every day for 30 days. But if everything's supposed to be okay, why are my floaters getting worse every day? I don't see any flashes, just lots of floaters that look like black dots or wavy lines. Could something else be going on?

Accepted Answer

Its reassuring that your OCT report is normal, and increasing floaters without flashes often indicate age-related vitreous changes, which are common but harmless. Since you have high blood pressure, ensure it's well-controlled as it can affect eye health; continue Vitreon as prescribed and follow up if symptoms worsen.

I've been using a new prescription from my doctor for about a month, but my vision in my right eye is still blurry. The doctor mentioned it would take about 7 to 10 days to adjust, but it's already been a month. Any ideas why this might be happening? Do you think I've permanently lost 66 vision?

that's unusual, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management
