Underlying conditions:
11 yr old girl. Glaucoma on one eye with less than 5% vision or less.
Other eye has no vision and was not formed during birth. Also have a
condition called: Peter's Anomaly. Conditions: Nystragamus in eye
which has no vision, but slight. [personal findings: Pax6 genetic
chromosome is primary cause for peter's anomaly and underdevelopment
of one of her eyes[one with no vision>.Slight strabismus. Possible
that the one which has no vision is causing the pain to the other eye
and causing the cough. X ray in 2 different ways taken but doctors
found no infection of an sort in lungs.
[Another Doctors misdiagnosed: prednisone to control cough but that
lead to elevated ocular pressure to 26>, was told to stop medication
immediately and used only Proventil inhaler to control cough.
Initially when cough started... gave her cough medication and othes
like Alka seltzer effervescent tabs, it did not do much to control
cough but pain subsided. She told us after careful analysis that when
her eye starts to get painful her cough starts. She was not like this
for the past 10+ years or at least we noticed. She took amoxicillin
clavulanate initially when cough started given by doctor and later
Zithromax for 3 days but nothing helped.
Current Pressure one eye with vision: 26+, previously 20-22
Medications used currently for Galucoma:
1. Dorzolamide Timolol Maleate Opthalmic Solution (Cosopt) - 2x a day
2. Brimonnidine Tartrate 0.2 - 3x a day
3. Atropine Sulfate 1% - 2x a day
4. Xalatan (Latanoprost) - 1x @ bedtime
5. Erythromycin Ointment 0.5% for her eyes.
Medications we are using to control her pain in both eyes:
1. Refresh Optiva for Dry eye [Carboxymethyl Celluose sodium 0.5%,
Glycerin 0.9%>- used 3-4x a day or as needed [findings: found not to
be effective at all at least not in this new problem with the pain,
but worked previously>
2. Zaditor [Ketotifen Fumarate ophthalmic solution antihistamin
eyedrops> - used as needed =- 4-5x day [findings: found to lessen
pain for her more than Refresh Optiva>
Surgeries done since day one of birth: 20+
Type: laser around perimeter of eye to control pressure + Installed
Shuns and other laser treatments by Vanderbilt Pediatric Opthamology
center by senior 2 professors of pediatric. Her condition has been
studied by doctors from places like John Hopkins university and other
insitutions around United States.View Thread

He's always tried to be so active in community service and i'd sure hate for him to lose that part of his life. He's already had to cut back so much. I've tried to look for clinical trials or something like that but don't really know what to ask for. Is there any advice for something to help him see again?View Thread
Thanks again!!View Thread

For many years, the doctors said that I either had eczema on my eyes (and had me put on cremes on the eyelids or eye drops, but neither one worked) or said that the problem is a mental one (that the problem wasn't real). My mom believed the latter until one day I got her to take a look at a lash I had to pull out (she looked to humor me). After she looked closely, she asked, "Why does this lash have two heads?" and took this a lot more seriously.
Other lashes I had to pull looked like it was split in many directions, One was shaped like a small T, some would be split in two directions, some in three or four directions with a white crust over the split parts, one looked like a feather duster, another looked like a tuning fork, and some had huge lumps in the middle that looked like clear plastic (those were painful). Most also looked very dry and stick-like on one side and huge, wet and plump on the other (either white or black or both on the plump part). I call them stingers, because they sting when I blink and sting when I rub my eyes, and the last kind I described I call Plumpers for obvious reasons.
Any idea what's really wrong with these mutated lashes of mine?View Thread
I am not an expert it could be something different but that is what it think it is and I don't know what it is called.View Thread
I am just looking for the name of it.View Thread
Thank YouView Thread
Sometimes this will last days, other times just for a few hours. I have my eyes checked annually and nothing ever shows up as being abnormal.View Thread
Yesterday, I went to an optimologist, both eyes have inflamatory issues.... Was given antibiotic eye drops..... And everytime I use them a few minutes later there's a weird taste dripping down my throat, an I know it's from my nasal cavity...
I once tried Cocaine, the nasty taste of the nasal drip turned me off it right away!! Well that's kinda what it tastes like! Also, a Pharmicist told me that these particular drops can give some people an energy boost...... What should I do?View Thread
Fast forward to Mon. Dec. 13th, on my way home from work, at 1pm, about to go out the front foyer, which of course has tons of windows, I caught a glimpse of some bright light, NOT a direct contact with the sun... Ever since then the problem has grown steadily worse... Monday it was just sunlight, Tuesday floresencts, Wednesday Dec. 15th, while making my morning commute, wearing sun glasses, I lit a ciggerette, and the light from the flame hurt my eyes.... And now when I watch a lil tv, or look at the monitor and then change my Point of View, my eyes hurt. I rubbed an itch today, on the upper eyelid of my right eye, it hurt, it isn't tender, it is very sore.... Monday, the 13th I awoke with bloodshot eyes in the outer corners of my eyes, Tuesday, both eyes fully bloodshot, Wednesday the 15th, the corner of my eyes again... I do mean this, it is the stereotypical look of some crazy man when I say bloodshot.....
Is this an after effect of the fever lasting so long, with my weakened, low energy body? Or should I get my butt to the Optomitrist?
Thanx to all whom reply!View Thread
feeling that something is in my eye. It been there a couple of days now. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Should I see my primary care doc or an eye specialist. I would appreciate any information you may have on this. ThanksView Thread
Was hoping it would just go away on its own.View Thread
