Medical Forum / General / Vision / March 2005Light-sensitivity in one eye only.
How common is it to be light-sensitive (stabbing pain) in just one eye? Nothing apparently wrong with either, but there is sensitivity is my right eye most of the time. (Right eye is dominant.) I only get pain in left eye if I wear a patch over the right. Is this unusual? Best wishes, Graeme Do you wear glasses? > Do you wear glasses?

Most seriously, you should rule out iritis and uveitis, two similar conditions that will likely cause long-term damage if not controlled. Uveitis is diagnosed with a slit-lamp microscope. It's easily to treat but there is a recurrent form in adults that has no clear cause. The most common cause of one-eyed photophobia is probably contact lens abrasions and ulcers, but we gather you aren't wearing contacts. You didn't describe any discharge or other signs of infection. If you've recently had fever, sore throat, or swollen lymph glands, viral infections can cause similar symptoms. If it started suddenly and hasn't happened before, it's likely an abrasion that hasn't healed well, or got infected. There are some inherited dystrophies that can make one eye prone to repeated abrasion. That causes bouts of photophobia. There is a rare form of glaucoma that causes pain and photophobia, usually reported in one eye, but it's rare in the young and it usually makes the vision steamy, along with pain. Tenderness in one spot on the eyeball indicates tendonitis or scleritis. Trigeminal neuralgia can cause localized face pain, but it isn't usually specific to the eye, nor does it usually cause much photophobia. If none of those prove out, you're left with chronic exposure, like lids that don't quite close at night - that isn't rare. Often, "stabbing" pain isn't actually in the eye, but in an adjacent sinus. Sometimes sinuses are infected or impacted without any drainage or other signs. If it's worse when you bend over, think sinuses. True photophobia is almost never related to optical problems, bad glasses, astigmatism etc. Uncontrolled uveitis leaves "adhesions" that reduce your vision and make parts of your eye stick together permanently. Get a checkup. -MT, OD > Maybe a monocle? To answer to Mr. Tyner is like firing on the red cross... > There are several common problems that can make one eye sensitive to light.

Very very rare diseases if the eye is left alone. > Uveitis is diagnosed with a slit-lamp microscope. It's easily to treat but > there is a recurrent form in adults that has no clear cause. NO CLEAR CAUSE. Of course. > The most common cause of one-eyed photophobia is probably contact lens > abrasions and ulcers, but we gather you aren't wearing contacts.

Yes, and treating him with glasses would destroy his sight forever, while proper treatment with rest methods has 100% success if the patient practices accordingly. > If it started suddenly and hasn't happened before, it's likely an abrasion > that hasn't healed well, or got infected. It will be interesting to know why did not heal well... > There are some inherited dystrophies that can make one eye prone to repeated > abrasion. That causes bouts of photophobia. The cause of photophobia is mental strain and the cure is mental rest. > There is a rare form of glaucoma that causes pain and photophobia, usually > reported in one eye, but it's rare in the young and it usually makes the > vision steamy, along with pain. RARE FORM. You continue to cultivate the possibility of RARE DISEASES, INCURABLE, so your patient gets the idea and becomes easily diseased... Aren't you criminals? > Tenderness in one spot on the eyeball indicates tendonitis or scleritis. Yes, of course, again, the eye has to be blamed. > Trigeminal neuralgia can cause localized face pain, but it isn't usually > specific to the eye, nor does it usually cause much photophobia. Again rare occourences. > If none of those prove out, you're left with chronic exposure, like lids > that don't quite close at night - that isn't rare. Yes, two eyes destroyed by glasses, contacts, insufficient light, computer strain, bad food, bad thoughts, etcetera etcetera... What do you expect from them? At least not to properly close at night... Solutions? NONE. > Often, "stabbing" pain isn't actually in the eye, but in an adjacent sinus. > Sometimes sinuses are infected or impacted without any drainage or other > signs. If it's worse when you bend over, think sinuses. This is all rubbish. > True photophobia is almost never related to optical problems, bad glasses, > astigmatism etc. I suspect it is. > Uncontrolled uveitis leaves "adhesions" that reduce your vision and make > parts of your eye stick together permanently. Get a checkup. Get the checkup, and possibly a new pair of glasses. >> MT> viral infections can cause similar symptoms. > Yes, and treating him with glasses would destroy his sight forever, > while proper treatment with rest methods has 100% success if the > patient practices accordingly. Such a shame. Are all Italians are so gullible and misinformed, do you think? What can you do about that? -MT > > Yes, and treating him with glasses would destroy his sight forever, > > while proper treatment with rest methods has 100% success if the > > patient practices accordingly. > > Such a shame. Are all Italians are so gullible and misinformed, do you > think? What can you do about that? Tyner, shut up. At least do not comment. You know you are in error since the beginning. When you have a child or a puberty young man or woman with a very low degree of imperfect sight and you prescribe glasses instead to treat the patient and cure him, you are a criminal. At least don't comment my messages. Be quiet. You know perfectly well that this poor boy with one eye sensitive to light will get no benefit whatever by your advices. He will risk more if he follows your treatments, than what he can risk if he does just nothing and waits the discomfort to subside by itself. This is a great shame, that you doctors continue to harass poor people with your ugly and stupid treatments. >>> Yes, and treating him with glasses would destroy his sight forever, >>> while proper treatment with rest methods has 100% success if the [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > This is a great shame, that you doctors continue to harass poor people > with your ugly and stupid treatments. Jesus! ... and to think that I read only a few messages ago that Italy has nothing to apologise for!  SignatureNicolaas > At least don't comment my messages. OK, I'll comment on your lack of education and your limited understanding of science. I'll comment on how you prefer to remain blissfully ignorant of any advances since 1920. It's 2005. Time to update your science. Get some education. Stop spewing 19th-century mush. How embarrassing it must be for educated Italians to find you representing them here. Have you no pride? -MT > How embarrassing it must be for educated Italians to find you representing > them here. Have you no pride? Everybody WHO IS INTELLIGENT is turning to the source of the cure of imperfect sight without glasses. Many doctors, graduated, have bnought the books and are studying them. The amount of damage that your nonsensical theories brought about from 400 years and more is immense, but it is not sufficient to destroy the truth, truth always lives on. What about the -23 D lady doctorate who is curing her eyesight and has conquered half of normal vision under good indoors light? I have many clients who are doing very well, and I have also other clients who are doing badly, simply because they do not do anything at all. However the fact that they have discarded their glasses is a good point in their favour, they can be sure their eyes will stop to get weaker. You should have no pride. You live a life of misery. Playing with your ugly glasses, on and off fifty times a day... Why don't you get MULTIFOCALS??? Because you know they are dangerous! Such is your criminal mind. Why refractive surgeons do not get the operation? What about poor children? You condemn them to a life of misery instead of teaching them how to relax and rest their eyes and solve tre problem radically. Just two days ago we had a fine snowing time in Milan. Everything around me was white. Then the sun comes out, strong sun. I did my 930 seconds of sungazing at midday. Very wonderful experience. When walking home, I could look with open eyes in the clear whiteness of the snow without any trouble. How can you explain this? You please explain. Now this poor boy who has asked help about his light-sensitivity can be reassured: he should start to look at the sun if he wants to cure himself. Of course he has to do it intelligently. But eve if he does it stupidly, no permanent harm is done if he discards his glasses. If he follows your wrong and old IMPRACTICAL advice, what has he got? Just new fears, and wrong thoughts, and more strain. The treatment you administer to your patient is criminal and against the truth. You should resign. Or learn better. Or shut up. > > How embarrassing it must be for educated Italians to find you > representing [quoted text clipped - 74 lines] > > Or shut up. Thanks for replies! Yes I do wear glasses most of the time, but the stabbing pain comes even without them. My optometrist has has a look under ophthalmoscope and slit lamp, and hasn't seen anything unusual... What's puzzling me most is that although it can happen in either eye, it seems to occur with the eye currently "in use". Normally this is my (dominant) right eye --- left eye feels nothing even though it's wide open. If I cover the right eye so forcing "use" of the left eye, then left eye starts up. I was wondering if this sort of behaviour is normal for pain-causing eye problems? And do you think that these learned men who prescribed to you the glasses, FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO CURE YOUR DISEASE OF IMPERFECT SIGHT, can answer these questions of yours? Come on! Can't you see that is all WRONG FROM THE VERY BASE? Discard the glasses and seek a cure without them. You will see your problems simply disappear. http://TheCentralFixation.com statius@enterprise.net wrote in news:1110107229.736726.303820 @f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com: > What's puzzling me most is that although it can happen in either eye, > it seems to occur with the eye currently "in use".

So far I have found that it can be caused by an aanticholinergic reaction, like an immense fight or flight situation. |
