Swollen eye membrane
Common Questions and Answers about Swollen eye membrane
swollen
I can only see on one eye. the 'good' eye suddenly deteriorated within the last 2-3 months. my vison used to be 20/25, now it is 20/50.
After tests today the Doctor said that the swelling of the retina has increased since last year, but that he is afraid to do surgery since it is my only 'good' eye. my other eye is a lazy eye. When I was 4 years old they gave me glasses to correct my 'cross-eye' and that created a lazy eye.
He normally will have a little eye redness after being groomed but when my husband brought him him I was shocked. The whole membrane around his eye was red and swollen. I posted a picture on facwbook and I have a friend who is a groomer and use to work for a vet and said this looked like it came from being choked by the harness. It is not cherry eye since that is in the corner of the eye. Could this have come from being choked?
Hello, my mom had epiretinal membrane removal surgery and cataract surgery altogether 12 days ago. Her eyelid is still swollen and red. She feels itchy, prickly and there are a lot of tears from the eye. Her vision has not improved much. it is very blurry, much blurry than before and she is so scared. Her vision before the operation was about 55% on that eye, now is like 35%. Will her vision improve?
I had surgery 7 days ago on my left eye. My eye lid is still swollen and a bit shut. My eye is very red all around the white and the tissue that was put in my eye is very visable. It almost looks like the tissue was just slapped on the side of my eyeball. It hurts to blink, it matty through out the day and vision is bit blurry. My doctor gave my Zylet drops and said to go back in 3 weeks. I did'nt think the healing process was this severe.
Hi, my husband had an eye vitrectomy with membrane peeling for the vision distortion on 5th March 2015. Till now his eyesight is worse than before. and he is very worried. He had finished all the eye drops and it looks like there is no infection and other complications. with the follow up scan. it can see that the retina membrane looks more swollen than before.
He wants to know why his eyesight is worse than before and can he use computer now?
It is very hard to know what this is without an exam. It is possible that the shiny area is an epiretinal membrane, also called surface wrinkling retinopathy. I would see an ophthalmologist, preferably a retinal specialist, for a full exam.
My significant other has caught pink eye and has had it for approximately two weeks now. In the first few days, he had the typical symptoms: redness in the eyes, a little swelling, some itching. After those few days up until now, he's become highly sensitive to light, his eye lids are very swollen, his eyes are highly irritable he can barely keep them open, and what's worse is that the thin membrane covering his eye balls appears to have 'blistered'.
The water could have carried the infection or the allergen. Sometimes swollen eyes can occur with other inflammations or infections of other parts of the eye like iris, cornea, lens etc. It's important that an element of injury needs to be ruled out so he will need to consult your primary care physician for further evaluation.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
re right, however it seems that there are blood vessels in the eye ball, and the eye itself is a mucous membrane. I really hate to expose every possibility but i'd rather it be like this then waiting on test results in 2 weeks. There is no possiblity that the blood seeped into one of the membranes in my eye? And ergo all my symptoms are un related to HIV/ARS?
The swollen eyes might be due conjunctivitis which is inflammation of the thin transparent membrane which covers the eyes. Conjunctivitis can be caused by infections and noninfectious conditions. Infections can be due to viral, bacterial and chlamydial. Non infectious causes are allergies, chemicals and injury. Sometimes swollen eyes can occur with other inflammations or infections of other parts of the eye like iris, cornea, lens etc.
Upper left molar #14 was extracted 8 months ago. Prior extraction was experiencing ache on left side of face especially cheek bone & around eye, slightly swollen. Asked for antibotics, he told me what I was experiencing had nothing to do with the tooth & seek medical doctor. Tooth did not come out in one piece. Ten days later went back to dentist as sharp piece of bone sticking out of extraction site. Dentist removed, said it was not uncommon & that everything looked fine.
Or, is there no mucus at all? Because the mucous membrane in the sinus is swollen, it may hide bacteria in its grooves.
The Flip-Turn Sinus Flush which I got to know recently seems somewhat risky. I fear that the water might go to sphenoid and ethmoid sinuses and could cause meningitis. I am wondering why my latest ENT Doctor advised me to flush with hypotonic saline. I tried it some time and felt it worse.
Today I read about optic nerve inflammation. My eye symptoms suggest this condition.
So I rubbed my eye, which made it worse and within minutes the membrane surrounding the eye had swollen and my eye was severely red. I went to Instacare where the provider said she thought it looked like Pink Eye. Well, while in her office I developed body wide itching and PVCs. I already have pvcs but they are brought on by either resting and noticing it or stress; I believe what happened is that a bug stung or bit the white of my eye, which caused the swelling and a slight Anaphylactic shock.
The swollen, fluid filled follicles cause increased friction beneath the eyelid. Increased friction causes the eye to become even more inflamed, irritated, swollen and uncomfortable.
The condition is commonly found in younger dogs, and can sometimes be self limiting (can resolve spontaneously). For diagnosis, a cytological exam of the discharge of the eye shows increased lymphocytes and plasma-cells, which are cells associated with allergy.
This is from when one of the small vessels on the surface membrane of the eye breaks and bleeds under the conjunctival membrane. Sometimes they are much larger than yours. Thanks for the picture!
These are almost always benign...not indicating any serious problem. Medicines which are blood vessel constrictors like Visine will NOT take this red out because the blood is outside of the blood vessel.
Hello. My eye doctor is monitoring an epiretinal membrane in my left eye. It seems to be very slowly detaching with the use of Lotemax and Nevanac eye drops, with a small section yet to go. Today I experienced a sharp pain in my left eye while reaching for something, then a couple minutes of tears flowing. I've experienced that pain (tho not as sharp) a couple of times during this period. Felt like an eyelash in the eye, but there was nothing visible in my eye.
she started feeling of having something in her eyes once in a while since last 3-4 years but for last 8-10 days its constant.vision is ok. No eye tearing or eye discharge. saw an opthalmologist who said its due to dryness and she might need laser for that. my ques are
1.has her cataract related to that though she is not having any vision problem only pain.
2. is laser is the only option for her eye for the dryness? cant we use medication?
Visual acuity of the left eye decreased gradually. Eye examination found massive epiretinal membrane. On Aug 6, 2013, silicone oil removal, epiretinal membrane peeling, endolaser photocoagulation, air/fluid exchange, and silicone oil tamponade was done to the left eye. BCVA was HM, OS on Aug 9, 2013.
