"I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS
BUT ..... .. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG "
SOME ALARMSIGNS HAVE TO PRESUME AN EYE DISEASE.
FOR THE BEST, YOU CONSULT YOUR OPHTALMOLOGIST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
CHILDREN
1) MY NEWBORN CHILD CAN NOT STAND THE LIGHT CONVENTIONS
This phenomenon may indicate an congenital excessive pressure of the eyes. Sometimes you see a larger eye and a opaque aspect of the eye.
2) OCCASIONALLY SWOOPING EYE OF MY CHILD
Up to 6 months a child may occasionally squint. Thereafter should be no more incidents. The ophthalmologist will look at whether it is a true strabismus. If so, the eye that doesn't squint, gets covered and spectacles may be prescribed. If it appears after a few months that strabismus not improved with glasses and cover, an operation will be presented.
3) MY CHILD SITS CLOSER TO TV
If children sit close to TV this may suggest myopia (see nearby well / far less). This can usually be easily captured with glasses with negative glasses. Only when you have a strenght over -2.5D, you must wear those glasses all the time. Then you can also opt for contact lenses.
ADULTS
4) FLASH
a) SHORT (fraction of a second)
If you occasionally see flashes, this could indicate an incipient vitreous detachment. That in itself is a normal age-related phenomenon. Sometimes this phenomenon can still lead to retinal tears or retinal detachment. The retina will be checked each consultation by the ophtalmologist.
b) ENLARGING FOR 15 MINUTES
Flashes, which gradually increase (you see a jagged edge or a broken mirror - the image vibrates some), may indicate eyemigraine. After 15 to 30 minutes are those phenomena over, usually afterwards comes headache and comes with some tendency to vomit.
5) MY ARMS ARE TOO SHORT TO READ
From 40 to 45 years, everyone reads worse. You can temporarily solve your problem to hold your text a little further off, but gradually your arms are getting too short. Good reading glasses are a better solution. Every three years the glasses should be increased until the age of 60 years. Afterwards, it slows down.
6) MY EYES BURN
Burning eyes generally indicate dry eyes, by the quality of the tears. This phenomenon is common in rheumatic patients and menopausal women. This can be solved with artificial tears.
7) I SEE SPOTS
a) MOVABLE
Moving spots, you can see it well against a white background, generally it's indicate vitreous flakes. These occur when the vitreous separates from the retina, which is a normal age-related phenomenon. The old connections between retina and vitreous are the cause of the spots.
b) FIXED
A stuck spot is usually a serious eye disorder. It can go from a very banal disorder without bleeding, to a serious phenomena such as inflammation / abrasion processes or even eye cancer (this is very rare). Contact your ophtalmologist as soon as possible.
SENIORS
8) METAMORPHOSIS = seeing curve lines
This phenomenon is usually associated with wear processes in the central part of the retina. Contact your ophtalmologist as soon as possible, because we can usually solve properly wear processes with injections or laser.
9) RAINBOW AROUND LIGHTS
Colored rings in all colors of the rainbow around lights, may indicate a sudden increased pressure. Consult an ophthalmologist as soon as possible, because these phenomena are quickly getting worse. The ophthalmologist can easily solve this problem with laser. Ahole is made in the iris. It goes almost painless. A hospital stay is therefore not required.
10) I CAN READ AGAIN WITHOUT GLASSES
If you are 70 or 80 years old and suddenly you can read again without glasses, this indicates increasing myopia. This is usually caused by the clouding of the lens = cataract. If it gives you vision problems for the distance, this can be solved with a cataract operation.
11) I'M BLINDLING FASTER BY THE SUN
Increased glare from the sun to seniors, usually points out cataracts. If it worsened, it is also a reason for the cataract operation.
In the meantime, you can wear sunglasses or a cap with a large flap, so you are proteced against the sun.
EVERYONE
12) I GET A HEADACHE WHEN I READ OR WATCH TV
Headaches with visual effort usually indicates that you need glasses.
13) MY EYES SEE OCCASIONALLY RED
Red eyes usually means inflammation. Even if you have little trouble, that is best checked. Inflammation, which persist long, could lead to permanent vision damage.
