Medical Forum / General / Vision / April 2005Dry Eyes, in one eye
My girlfriend has recently been suffering with what would appear to be dry eyes, however, it is only affecting one eye. Until 12 months ago, she was happily wearing Contacts but then developed pain in her left eye whenever she was wearing them, She was referred to an opthamologist, who could see nothing wrong with her eyes, and just told her there was nothing wrong, now for the past week, the pain has been getting steadily worse, first it was just at night, now it is all day too. Has anyone ever heard of Dry eyes only affecting one eye, or is this something completely different? Thanks in advance Rob > My girlfriend has recently been suffering with what would appear to be > dry eyes, however, it is only affecting one eye. Until 12 months ago, [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Rob Well, it might well be something completely different, BUT it is not unusual for one eye to be drier than the other. I saw an example of that today in a woman whose left contact lens dried out faster than the right contact lens. DrG Another simple case of mental strain. The cure, quickest and simpliest, is the sun-gazing process according to Dr. Bates or also following the HRM protocol (www.solarhealing.com). Don't follow the injurios comments of the pros. Remove the contacts forever. > My girlfriend has recently been suffering with what would appear to be > dry eyes, however, it is only affecting one eye.

DrG I think you may have understood, as i was tired when typing the message. My Girlfriend has not work the contacts for 12 months, and until last week, she felt no pain, then in the past week the pain has got progressivly worse, to the point where it is affecting her sleep (and mine). I don't think this is related to the contacts, i think it is more her eyes. We went to the doctors yesterday (Tuesday) and he has referred her to an opthamologist, and also a neurologist, as he thinks it could be a nerval thing. Hopefully she will get sorted soon, as i have slept for a total of 4.5 hours in 3 days! Thanks for the replies anyway. Rob I didn't misunderstand. You asked the question about whether one eye could be asymmetrically dries than the other, and my response was that it frequently occurs. I used a recent case involving a contact lens patient as an example. I also said that your girlfriend may NOT be suffering from dry eye. However, any discomfort that does not go away upon removal of the contact lens, and is so bad as to interfere with sleep, does need to be seen by an eye specialist. It's useless to speculate in a NG with so little information. DrG > I think you may have understood, as i was tired when typing the > message.

Yes, they will go on and on in finding useless things, now nerve complaints, of all sorts, but the truth is only one, you Girlfriend suffers from mental strain due to mistreatment of imperfect sight. I am certain that she has been deprived of sunlight from several years (contacts deprive the eye of sunlight more than eyeglasses), so now the symptoms are surfacing. I am open to challenge, if I am right, that no doctor will help her, what will you do? Keep me posted, I am very interested in your case because of the stupid comments the idiot has written one message above. >Yes, they will go on and on in finding useless things, now nerve >complaints, of all sorts, but the truth is only one, you Girlfriend >suffers from mental strain due to mistreatment of imperfect sight. Clearly, this sort of mental strain can only be worsened by reading what Rishi writes. >I am certain that she has been deprived of sunlight from several years >(contacts deprive the eye of sunlight more than eyeglasses), so now the >symptoms are surfacing. I am equally certain that Rishi's brain has been deprived of oxygen for a similar length of time. >I am open to challenge, if I am right, that no doctor will help her, >what will you do? Certainly, buying a 1920's book (that has been dismissed as quackery time and again) is always an option: http://snipurl.com/dqpf >Keep me posted, I am very interested in your case because of the stupid >comments the idiot has written one message above. If nothing else (and this *is* the case), Rishi can surpass the stupidity of *any* comments you'll find on this newsgroup. It can be quite entertaining (like watching "Shrek," for example), provided you don't look for anything helpful in his words. This Neil Brooks is really a very stubborn idiot. I'm sorry for him but what I am saying is the truth and everybody can prove it for himself or herself. What to do? I won't stop talking because this idiot is so much a stubborn idiot that deserves respect. It truly deserves respect of high standing. > >Yes, they will go on and on in finding useless things, now nerve > >complaints, of all sorts, but the truth is only one, you Girlfriend [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > quite entertaining (like watching "Shrek," for example), provided you > don't look for anything helpful in his words. > My girlfriend has recently been suffering with what would appear to be > dry eyes, however, it is only affecting one eye. Until 12 months ago, > she was happily wearing Contacts but then developed pain in her left > eye Hi Rob >From a behavioural point of view the left eye being dryer makes some sense. The left eye and left side of the body are connected to the right hemisphere. Because we are verbal animals and language is primarily a left brain activity there can be a tendency for our more irrational or emotional side to exist in a more unconscious form in the right brain. Scientists have argued whether the more or less mute right brain is in fact the unconscious. No clear answers are available. So.....wetness in the eyes is often a response to emotion. Even joy can create wetness. Lack of wetness could be as a result of suppression of emotion. Shortsighted people tend to be excessively verbal intellectual logical, they do well on tests that measure that kind of intelligence but emotionally they are not so skillful. Can you think of something that she might be quite upset about that she is avoiding expressing emotionally? Talking that over with her might help. Its worth a go anyway:-) good luck Andrew > So.....wetness in the eyes is often a response to emotion. Even joy can > create wetness.

Dear Andrew, Do you interpret a cut finger as having a behavioral cause? How about skin cancer? Did it occur to you that this woman may have a serious medical condition that will not respond to psychotherapy? DrG Dear Dr G >Did it occur to you that this woman may have a serious medical condition that will respond to psychotherapy? Andrew It's difficult to understand why the eye cannot respond to therapy or treatments. |
