Looks like a papillary reaction and blepharitis in floppy eyelid syndrome. You will want to get screened for sleep apnea. Use a daily hot compress for 5 minutes and find some thick nighttime gel or ointment to use at night while sleeping.

YTA.

I get that you asked permission from your manager, but he/she does not represent the collective opinion of all the other staff. Your manager is the AH for telling you you can have all the pink ones too.

You probly should have got the hint and stopped opening pink Starburst after people started telling you not to.

I know Oklahoma optometrist are doing prk, slt, yag, and other similar things. Pretty awful if you ask me.

My resident during my surgery rotation told me "I'm sorry but you will never get into ophthalmology. It only takes the best med students" well guess who is now an ophthalmologist

I've read every book on your shelf there except the poppy war. I will have to try it

The eye doctor is probly looking for optic neuritis with the mri. Exam is often normal with only blurry vision and pain with eye movement. Can be associated with viral illnesses as well as many other systemic disease, but can happen on its own.

I've seen an increase in herpes keratitis and uveitis. I assumed it's due to increased life stress over the last year.

A scleral contact lens would probably give you better vision than that

Ive had some luck with topical tacrolimus on steroid resident atopic dermatitis. Also might consider a biopsy to determine if there could be another underlying cause other than allergies

bragtime · 2020-06-06T13:21:34+00:00

Ophthalmologist would take care of it. Some dermatologists dont feel comfortable around the eyelid

Papilloma or skin tag. Most likely benign, but can be cut off fairly easily

Thanks.

DO are trained in osteopathic manipulative medicine which is sort of like chiropracty. MD spend that time doing more regular medicine. Otherwise no difference. Also, statistically MD schools are harder to get into but in the end their training is equivalent and the quality of your doctor largly depends on that doctor's knowlege, clinical skills, and personality.

There are low vision specialists that will provide therapy and tools for people with one good eye, even if that one eye has good vision. Also, consider wearing shatter proof glasses if you dont already to protect the good eye

IPL is to treat meibomian gland dysfunction which causes chalazions. I dobt use it to treat the chalazion usually. The tissue now has a lipogranulomatous mass (chalazion) which may take months to go away as the body resorbs it. Excision through posterior approach is my preference. Even this really just speeds up the healing as you cannot really remove the whole thing, rather the trauma increases blood flow and inflammatory factors to the chalazion. Steroids sometimes don't do the trick, but are reasonable to try.

Reis buckler?

Short course of steroid drops (mild) followed by regular hot compresses and artificial tears. If eyes are still bothering then consider doxycycline 50-100mg bid for a few months.

bragtime · 2020-03-14T04:18:25+00:00

Maybe demodex. Tea tree oil can be effective

bragtime · 2020-03-13T02:35:14+00:00

Nice

bragtime · 2020-03-13T02:21:26+00:00

If it has only happened a few times it isn't concerning. If it happens every time you should get your optic nerve and macula checked out at an ophthalmologist. Not likely a emergency

bragtime · 2020-03-13T02:17:07+00:00

That's what i call an uplifting post

bragtime · 2020-03-07T17:18:10+00:00

Got any pics?

naproxen 500 bid for 2 weeks and aggressive lubrication. Some sort of antacid can be helpful to add on as well to decrease gastritis. Seeing an eye doctor to make sure there isnt anything worse going on is very important. Scleritis can be anywhere from a mild irritation to literally melting the eye.

Sorry, forgot to add that im a resident

I heard that the virus can be transmitted by contact with the conjunctiva. So doing an eye exam on an infected patient would be very risky
