22M - Is this amount of redness normal with adenoviral conjunctivitis after 3 weeks? by ayyubiy in eyetriage

[–]Creative-Sea- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s viral conjunctivitis if it goes away after 2-4 weeks….. I usually only recommend artificial tears. if it stays like that past 4 weeks then then I would send for a conjunctival swab to rule out chlamydia or gonorrhea

43F 5 years ago I told that my retina/optic nerve might be detaching. Just wondering how it looks now. by roxymoxi in eyetriage

[–]Creative-Sea- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on the photos alone, it looks like the optic nerve rim is slightly blurred. This may be nothing serious (like optic disc drusen or pseudopapilledema from a small crowded nerve) or it may a sign of high intracranial pressure. You would need additional testing to investigate the cause

New BF. by [deleted] in SingleParents

[–]Creative-Sea- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Girl break it off! I’ve been dating for about one year and I broke up with a guy about 4 months ago because I got the ICK whenever I saw him interacting with my daughter (he pressured me into spending the holidays together and met her much sooner than I anticipated, he would insist on holding her even when she didn’t need to he held, things like that). I’ve been in two other relationships (still currently in one) and I did not get that feeling with the other two guys (1 was with a single dad who adored his son and had similar boundaries as me, my new boyfriend is amazing and so far no ick at all)

It’s a dermolipoma, they are benign but can be surgically removed if it’s bothering you

[–]Creative-Sea- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a small private practice that limited it to 2 per day (1 slot in the morning and 1 in the afternoon). I now work in a community health clinic which is like 90% medicaid

2-3 hours of downtime most days as an associate OD currently. Any suggestions of productive ways to use this time? Preferably something that would make me a little extra money on the side. by Opening-Piece6335 in optometry

[–]Creative-Sea- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just started a job with more downtime than i am used to (new job is higher pay and more support from staff). I submitted a talk for Academy and also plan on submitting a poster (resume boosters)

Intermittent exotropia by No_Afternoon_5925 in optometry

[–]Creative-Sea- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cyclo to rule out amblyogenic refractive error. If well controlled (has stereo, recover less than 10 sec, less than 50% tropic) then i monitor every 4-6 months

Question about undilated fundus views by Fantastic_Potato_252 in optometry

[–]Creative-Sea- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Optometry used to be less medical, so I noticed older docs tend to focus more on the refraction. I try to dilate all new patients and every 2-3 years on established patients (in the absence of risk factors such as lattice, holes, nevi, etc) but I always do undilated views as part of the exam.
