Medical Forum / General / Vision / May 2008itchy, watery eye
Does anyone know what might cause an itchy, watery eye? Whenever I wear this one pair of glasses my right eye becomes very itchy and watery, as if I had a bad case of hayfever. My left eye does not react this way and if I wear a different pair of glasses it doesn't happen at all. The only difference between the lenses is that this particular lens (only the lens on the right, not the lens on the left) has an AR coating but none of the rest do. Have you ever heard of someone being allergic to an AR coating? Thank you On 9 May, 18:37, cdavis6...@gmail.com wrote: > Does anyone know what might cause an itchy, watery eye?

Did you try cleaning the lens? Otherwise, it could simply be an effect of the lenses themselves. I would advise to discard them. Also, blinking is essential for the health of the eyes. Whenever you have itchy and watery eyes it is essential for you to blink rapidly and lightly. Imagine a butterfly beating its wings, and blink like that. > On 9 May, 18:37, cdavis6...@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > itchy and watery eyes it is essential for you to blink rapidly and > lightly. Imagine a butterfly beating its wings, and blink like that. I clean my glasses everyday. It is not so easy to discard several hundred dollars. If blinking were the problem, both of my eyes would be affected and with all pairs of glasses. Any other ideas? What did you clean it with? The pollen might have still stuck even if you wipe it with just say a cloth. Did you try using some chemicals to obliterate all possible traces of it? Also, there is a right way to blink and there's a wrong way. And both eyes might not be blinking in the same way, or even if blinking is done incorrectly and this is not causing a problem in one eye, it doesn't follow that the other is isn't suffering as a result. The right way to blink is to blink as the normal eye does it, continually, but not constantly, and very lightly, very rapidly such that the blink is barely noticeable and doesn't distract from the viewing. Count in an uneven rhythm, 1, 2...3, 4, 5...6......7,8, and blink with the count to form the right habit. Another idea would be to sit facing the sun, close your eyes and let the light strike it, moving the head slowly from side to side to avoid burn from the heat. Bright light is a benefit in all cases of organic defect, and watery and itchy eyes are very much helped in my own experience. Also, you can attempt the sun treatment. Get a magnifying glass, raise the eyelid and focus the beam on the sclera moving rapidly in all directions, for a minute or so. Ensure that the pupil is covered by looking downwards. Attempt with caution. If you can do it properly, you will find the health of the eyes is improved greatly. Here is a video of sun treatment: http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/IJEkSHua_8EzUIuctX7nz_XT0nE_bcgTCrAEttu-N0IB8CAQmFl SLmWxLLog8uEkUBlDpBO-JTAXKSCI_B2XzgzBq6Z66wY/SunGlass%21%21%21.avi > What did you clean it with?

Maybe we should see you performing these treatments on your own eyes first. > > What did you clean it with? The pollen might have still stuck even if > > you wipe it with just say a cloth.

There's also a certain cloth they sometimes give with it. They contain chemicals specifically designed to wipe out debris. Alright I'll take some pictures of myself doing it. > > > What did you clean it with? The pollen might have still stuck even if > > > you wipe it with just say a cloth.

Let me know when the pictures are ready. Ignoring "Zetsu" has nothing but upside. The converse of this statement is equally true, if not more true. Has anybody verified that ALL of your lenses were made to the exact same (and correct) prescription? It's not uncommon for a lens to be made wrong, and what you describe / could/ be explained by a prescription that's a little off. > Ignoring "Zetsu" has nothing but upside.

I asked the doctor about the prescription and he said that he had verified it. The glasses had to be sent back the first time because the lab thought the doctor wrote -2.5 instead of -0.25. This is an executive bifocal: -0.25 on top and +1.75 on the bottom. The segment seems to be too high and the AR coating seems to reflect too much light back into my eye but the doctor said this is normal with a low prescription and someday I would get used to it. Allergies to coatings aren't very common, but they do happen. From your description, it's unlikely to be anything else. -MT, OD > Does anyone know what might cause an itchy, watery eye?

Here is a working link to see it. http://www.sistemabates.it/sunglass.avi Also if anyone is interested, here is a photo published by Dr.Bates himself as he applies the sun treatment to a patient: http://www.central-fixation.com/perfect/images/img_55.png Jesus. > Jesus. Stay tuned as Zetsu begins recommending a good bleeding for esotropia....
