Cost of consultation with an ophthalmologist

We imagine your panic when you wake up in the morning and realize that one eye cannot see. No pain, discomfort, falling, the eye just stops seeing in an instant. He may not be blind yet, but his fate depends on how quickly you get qualified medical care. laser eye microsurgery clinics on Maerchak tell what to do if one eye cannot see.

First, let's look at the cause of the disaster.

Sometimes vision is temporarily lost due to vascular spasm. It is much worse if artery thrombosis occurs.

The main prerequisite for such a situation is atrial fibrillation left without treatment. Typically, with this diagnosis, anticoagulants are prescribed, which thin the blood. If a person does not take prescribed medications, blood clots form and eventually escape into the bloodstream. The “favorite” vessel for blood clots is the ophthalmic artery. When a blood clot blocks an artery in the eye, vision suddenly disappears. The blood flow stops, the retina is left without nutrition. Retina very sensitive to oxygen deficiency. The resulting blood clot will affect the eye in parts. If the resulting blood clot is small, one segment of the eye is thrown out. An area left without power ceases to function and soon dies. If you notice that some part of the image “falls out,” immediately contact an ophthalmologist.

The danger of this condition is the absence of symptoms, discomfort - everything happens instantly. We must act just as quickly.

If vision is partially lost, patients still hope that it will return on its own. Or they simply don’t pay attention, cheating sharp drop view of fatigue. As a result, the changes become irreversible, and vision cannot be restored without a retinal transplant. Therefore, the first thing to do if one eye cannot see is to urgently contact a specialized clinic. Your actions on the way to the hospital are equally important.

First aid if one eye is blind

To “squeeze” a blood clot out of the eye, you need to dilate the vessel. To do this, close the sore eye, rhythmically press on it and release. Another option to expand your blood vessels is to breathe into a bag. Carbon dioxide, entering the blood, pushes the clot.

The clinic will provide you with emergency assistance. To restore blood flow in central artery, apply vasoconstrictors, remove excess eye fluid.

Patients who have undergone acute obstruction retinal vessels should be constantly monitored by an ophthalmologist and therapist. They should not engage in strenuous physical activity, for a long time be in an inclined position. It's worth taking care of nervous system: rest more, try not to worry about trifles. After all, stress also provokes vascular spasms and aggravates cardiovascular diseases.

Warn vascular pathology— it is in your power, and in ours, to prevent complications and preserve your vision.

A characteristic feature of the visual perception of the surrounding world is the integrity of its viewing. The formation of a single visual image occurs by merging the images of both eyes into one. This is only possible if there is binocular vision– the ability to simultaneously clearly see the image of an object with the right and left eyes. A functional impairment of the main visual function - binocular vision - is called amblyopia.

Show all

What is amblyopia?

Amblyopia, or lazy eye syndrome, is a persistent unilateral decrease in vision, in which one eye is excluded from the vision process.

With this form of violation organic damage no ocular structures occur. The pathology usually occurs in childhood and is reversible, but cannot be corrected using optical means. Therefore, cure is only possible with early detection disease - by eliminating its causes.

How binocular vision works

If one eye sees worse than the other, the patient cannot focus his gaze on the image of an object. The compensation mechanism is activated. Clarity of vision is ensured by reflex suppression of the action of the visual analyzer of the diseased eye. The quality of vision in this eye decreases even more, and gradually it turns off completely. A person sees only with his healthy eye. In this way, the body stabilizes visual function.

Causes

Amblyopia affects adults and children, starting from early age. Pathology can be congenital (primary) or acquired (secondary). There is a genetic predisposition to the disease. A relationship has been identified between the presence of the disease in parents and the subsequent detection of its symptoms in children.

Refractive amblyopia

There are quite a few causes of pathology. In this regard, several of its forms are distinguished:

Form	Description
Strabismatic (dysbinocular)	This is the most common type of amblyopia. Binocular vision disorder occurs due to prolonged suppression of the activity of one eye. The cause of this type of disease is strabismus
Obscuration (deprivation)	It occurs as a result of clouding of the structures of the eye responsible for the refraction of rays - the cornea, lens. Called ptosis upper eyelid, corneal injuries. Deprivation amblyopia is bilateral, when both eyes are involved in the process
Refractive	Very common. It occurs when visual impairments - astigmatism or farsightedness - are not corrected for a long time. A pathological difference in refraction (the degree of refraction of light) of the right and left eyes leads to the fact that one eye constantly sees blurry
Anisometropic	This is a type of refractive form. She represents congenital anomaly refraction, at which the difference in refractive power between the right and left eyes exceeds 2 diopters
Hysterical or psychogenic	Occurs as a reaction to stress or severe shock. After a fright or nervous breakdown a person notices that one eye sees well and the other – poorly. This type of disease responds well to treatment if therapy is started in a timely manner. Usually prescribed sedatives and psychological consultations
Mixed	It is a combination of refractive and dysbinocular forms of pathology. Its treatment is quite complex and requires a whole range of different procedures.

According to the severity of symptoms, several degrees of the disease are distinguished - from weak to very strong, when the patient completely loses the ability to see the depth of objects and determine the distance between them.

Decreased vision with amblyopia ranges from insignificant values, not recorded by the patient, to pronounced (virtually blindness).

Provoking factors

Amblyopia is most often diagnosed in children with birth injuries and congenital or acquired pathologies in the neonatal period. Provoking factors in children may be:

prematurity;
body weight deficiency;
cerebral palsy;
retinopathy of prematurity;
mental retardation;
burdened heredity;
congenital cataract;
congenital anisometropia.

The risk group for adult patients is people forced to work in conditions harmful effects environment. This means constantly being outdoors, working in conditions of temperature changes or heavy dust. Amblyopia in adults is also a symptom of the following diseases:

inflammation of the temporal artery;
strabismus;
hypertension.

Welders often suffer from amblyopia. In them, the disease is secondary in nature and is a symptom of electroophthalmia (consequences of constant eye irradiation with ultraviolet waves).

The disease also appears as a result of improper selection of optical vision correction devices.

Symptoms

On initial stage The disease may have an asymptomatic course.

From timely diagnosis success depends therapeutic activities. The child is not able to independently assess the degree of participation in the process of vision of each eye, therefore parents are required Special attention so as not to miss the first signs of amblyopia.

The main symptoms in children are:

drooping upper eyelid;
presence of strabismus;
nystagmus (involuntary rhythmic movements of the eyeballs);
lack of improvement when trying to correct vision;
impaired ability to navigate;
habit of looking at objects with one eye;
complaints of rapid fatigue when reading.

Strabismus as a symptom of amblyopia

In adults, the exclusion of one eye from the vision process manifests itself as follows:

double vision;
poor visibility with one eye into the distance;
blurred vision;
inability to determine the depth of volumetric objects;
decreased vision in the morning;
presence of strabismus.

With unilateral amblyopia, its presence is not always realized by the patient, since healthy eye independently provides good sharpness vision.

Diagnostics

If amblyopia is suspected, the patient needs comprehensive ophthalmological examination.Apply the following types diagnostics:

1. Initial examination. The doctor evaluates external condition ocular structures: eyelids, palpebral fissure, eyeball. The doctor determines whether the pupils react to light.
2. Ophthalmic testing of visual perception. This is a visual acuity test, color perception assessment, perimetry (visual field test). These tests help determine the severity of amblyopia.
3. Diagnosis of the condition of the eye structures. These are ophthalmoscopy (assessment of the condition of the fundus), biomicroscopy (examination of eye structures using a slit lamp), tonometry (determination intraocular pressure), Ultrasound of the eye, examination of the fundus using a Goldmann lens.
4. Determination of the angle of strabismus.
5. Refractometry (determining the refractive power of the ocular media). It is performed to exclude refractive amblyopia.

Early diagnosis and treatment of amblyopia is very important. Treatment will have an effect only if the eye structures have not yet formed, and the mechanism for compensating the diseased eye with the healthy one has not yet been established. This childhood up to 6-7 years. If the child is already 12 years old, the effectiveness of treatment will be much lower. An attempt to eliminate disorders in adulthood often ends in failure, since changes in ocular structures become irreversible.

Treatment options

Treatment in each specific case must be selected individually. Its main goal is to eliminate the cause of the pathology. Only in this case can you count on a lasting effect. Therapy is carried out over a long period of time. It usually includes the whole complex specialized and general events.

1. Obscuration amblyopia is treated surgically. Cataracts are removed, ptosis is corrected using blepharoplasty, and vitrectomy is performed if necessary ( surgical removal cloudy vitreous).
2. To treat dysbinocular pathology, strabismus is eliminated by surgical correction position of the eyeballs.
3. Refractive and anisometropic ablyopia is treated mainly at home, using a conservative method. First of all, they strive to correct vision defects by selecting glasses or contact lenses. Apply if necessary laser correction vision.

Occluder for the treatment of strabismus and amblyopia

Very good result brings so-called pleoptic treatment aimed at activating the function weak eye when eliminating the dominant role active organ vision. There are active and passive pleoptics:

1. Passive pleoptics involves the use of the occlusion method. It is performed using special occluders (eye patches) that are attached to the frame of glasses. With their help, the active eye, constantly in the dark, is turned off from the act of vision, and the passive eye is included in the work. Vision quality indicators are gradually improving. At the same time, the retina of the diseased eye is stimulated with light pulses or by performing a set of special exercises.
2. Active pleoptics consists of targeted deterioration of vision strong eye by instilling atropine or applying hypercorrection.

Good results in the treatment of amblyopia are achieved by methods of reflexology, electrophoresis and vibration massage.

The course of treatment ends with classes to restore binocular vision. This is done with the use of a synoptophore - a special ophthalmological device that allows you to strengthen the eye muscles and eliminate the asymmetry of its activity.

Synoptophore

The goal of therapy is to achieve approximately the same visual acuity in both eyes. The success of treatment depends on how clearly the patient follows the doctor’s recommendations. If occlusion is not carried out, procedures and exercises are neglected, then all achieved results may be lost.

Conclusion

With timely diagnosis and proper therapy in children under 7 years of age, in most cases vision is completely normalized.

In adults, achieving such results is almost impossible. The prescribed treatment helps only partially restore eye function.

The condition when one eye begins to see worse than the other can be short-lived. This usually does not pose a danger to visual organ. If unilateral visual impairment persists for a long time or is accompanied by other symptoms, then you should look for the cause.

Ophthalmic diseases usually affect both organs of vision. But sometimes a person notices that his vision has become worse in only one eye. You can determine that only one visual organ sees poorly by alternately closing each eye.

A functional disorder when one eye sees worse than the other is called. The symptom is associated specifically with dysfunction of the visual analyzer. The brain cannot compare two different images coming from the visual organs and turns off one of them. The eye becomes lazy.

Watch the video about what amblyopia is:

Causes and symptoms of the disorder

People suffering from refractive errors, strabismus, working in hazardous industries, and athletes are predisposed to have poor vision with one eye. The risk increases with hereditary predisposition.

A person does not immediately notice that he has begun to see poorly in one eye. This indicates the formation of ophthalmological diseases, complications chronic diseases internal organs. If one eye suddenly begins to see worse, a foreign body has probably entered the visual organ. Common reasons why one eye sees worse than the other:

Overstrain of the organ of vision due to long periods of watching TV, working at a computer, reading while driving or in low light.
Impaired blood flow, compression of the nerve after sleeping in an awkward position, with stenosis carotid artery, temporal arteritis.
Ophthalmological diseases: strabismus, cataracts, glaucoma, refractive errors, infectious diseases.
Chronic diseases: diabetes, hypertonic disease, atherosclerosis, oncology.
Injuries to the head and visual organ, foreign body.

Poor vision in one eye may result in blurred or unclear images. May occur in certain time days. Sometimes it occurs after surgical treatment. Let's look at the features of the symptoms.

Other reasons:

The eye sees poorly in the dark. When one eye sees worse in the dark, this is due to a lack of vitamin A, severe infectious diseases, excess physical activity, glaucoma, pregnancy. Both visual organs can be affected evenly or in varying degrees. This is called night blindness.
Pain and blurred vision. If one eye hurts and has poor vision, the cause may be infectious lesions(conjunctivitis, stye, abscess), late stages oncological diseases.
Headache and blurred vision. The combination of headache and poor vision on one side occurs with neuralgia, migraine, hypertension, and glaucoma.
Visual impairment in the morning. Impaired blood flow due to blood thickening, after long-term infectious diseases, after sleeping in uncomfortable position leads to the fact that a person sees poorly in the morning.
Poor vision after correction. Unilateral visual impairment after correction occurs due to swelling after surgical treatment. This is temporary side effect. If a person sees poorly for a long period after surgery, then it is worth contacting a specialist.
Refractive errors. With myopia, the right or left eye has blurry vision into the distance. With farsightedness, on the contrary, the image is difficult to see up close. Violation visual functions perhaps on both sides to varying degrees.

Features in children

The child’s organs and systems are at the stage of formation. Long-term visual load may cause difficulty seeing in one or both eyes. You should limit prolonged reading, long computer games, watching cartoons for many hours.

For children, it is common for small dust particles to enter the visual organ. Sand often gets in while playing on the playground. This causes lacrimation, redness of the conjunctiva, and blurred images. After removal foreign body the symptoms go away.

How to fix when one eye sees worse than the other

Therapy functional disorders includes treatment using the Amblyocor device. A person watches a movie on a computer, while brain signals are recorded. If identified incorrect operation visual analyzer, the film turns off. A person needs to normalize his vision through his own effort, then the film will turn on.

Physiotherapy is effective: electrical stimulation, light-color stimulation, laser stimulation, computer methods stimulation drug electrophoresis. The success of treatment depends on treatment of the underlying cause that caused poor eyesight On the one side.

Treatment of functional disorders is auxiliary.

Anti-fatigue drops will help relieve symptoms of visual fatigue and improve poor vision: Visine, Artificial Tear, Systane.
If a foreign body gets in, it must be removed.
For strabismus, apply an occlusive bandage to the healthy side. This makes the lazy eye work. Treatment with Amblyocor and physiotherapy are used.
The basis of therapy for ophthalmic infectious diseases is the effect on the pathogen. At viral infection“Ophthalmoferon” and “Aktipol” drops are effective. For bacterial infections – drops “Tobrex”, “Albucid”; eye ointments"Tetracycline", "Erythromycin".
To treat cataracts, the clouded lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Glaucoma is treated with drops that reduce IOP: Azopt, Cosopt, Betoptik.
Myopia and farsightedness are corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
Chronic diseases. Therapists treat hypertension antihypertensive drugs. Atherosclerosis is treated with statins. Migraine and neuralgia - painkillers. To treat diabetes mellitus, endocrinologists prescribe insulins or glucose-lowering drugs.
Oncologists treat oncological diseases with surgical removal of the tumor, radiation and chemotherapy.

Prevention

To see well, eat more fruit and vegetables. Carrots, blueberries, fish, cherries, and broccoli are especially rich in vitamins. In spring and autumn, when the body lacks vitamins, take a course of vitamins and dietary supplements. Blueberry Forte tablets have proven themselves well.

Maintain hygiene, do not rub your eyelids with dirty hands, wash off your makeup at night. Get a good night's sleep on an orthopedic pillow. Go for walks regularly fresh air, follow physical exercise, strengthen your immune system.

When working hard for a long time, take breaks and do eye exercises. Do not read in low light, lying down, or while traffic is moving. Limit your computer use and reduce your TV viewing.

If you have good vision in one eye and poor vision in the other, we recommend that you consult an ophthalmologist. The doctor will examine the visual organ and assess the condition of the visual structures. This will allow the disease to be detected early stage.

If you suddenly lose the ability to see in one eye, you should see a doctor immediately. The most common cause of vision loss in one eye is disease or injury to the carotid artery, one of the arteries that supplies your brain with the blood it needs to function. Any interruption in this flow can temporarily or permanently affect one of the parts of the brain that controls vision. Atherosclerosis that has developed in the carotid artery in the form of growths due to poor nutrition, can also block some of the brain's supply lines, causing sudden loss of vision in one eye. This could also happen due to alcohol abuse. Some drugs can be used to prevent alcoholism. So don't despair if you are concerned about alcoholism.

Continuing the topic - the carotid artery supplies blood optic nerve, iris and retina. When blood flow to these organs is reduced, temporary blindness can occur. In this case, you will have the sensation of a veil before your eyes, which then suddenly falls away.

Sometimes, those who suffer from carotid artery disease and feel a veil over one eye will experience fatigue and numbness in the arm and/or leg on one side of the body that is opposite the affected eye. Some people find that they become temporarily blind in one eye when bending over or standing up quickly, or when looking at a bright light.

If you experience these symptoms, ask yourself the following questions so you have answers for your doctor:
1. When I close one eye, is the vision normal in the other?
2.Have I had partial vision loss, such as loss of the left-sided visual field in both eyes?

Treatment
Carotid artery disease is a progressive disease. People suffering from monocular blindness (loss of the ability to see in one eye) due to atherosclerosis of the carotid artery should know that its narrowing has not begun now.

If your doctor suspects that the cause of vision loss in one eye is carotid artery disease, he or she will refer you to ultrasound examination head and neck to determine the level of blockage and the amount of blood flowing to the brain. An angiogram may be done, in which a harmless dye is injected into the artery to clear up the picture.

Depending on the number and nature of the growths on the walls of the carotid artery, your doctor will choose one of several treatment options. If the disease is still at an early stage, then the only thing that is usually required is a certain dose of aspirin per day. Aspirin has been found to have anti-clotting properties that help keep your blood fluid and prevent blood clots from forming in your blood vessels. If the blockage is more severe, your doctor may prescribe Warfarin or Heparin. Warfarin is a stronger anticoagulant than aspirin. Heparin is also an anticoagulant, but is prescribed if atherosclerosis is more pronounced.

Your doctor may suggest that you have surgical removal of the growths from the artery walls if he believes that blood clots in the carotid artery are to blame. There is a risk to having the surgery because the flow of blood to the brain through the carotid artery is stopped during the operation, but if you have had this type of surgery, it is unlikely that new growths will appear on the artery walls.

A person has two carotid arteries, and sometimes both are blocked. The one that is in worse condition, the first undergoes endarterectomy, while the second remains intact and is operated on later.

One eye sees worse than the other; people who have crossed the border of forty years often encounter this phenomenon. This can happen by various reasons, for example, injury, poor blood circulation, amblyopia.

One eye sees worse than the other - what could it be?

Why does one eye see worse than the other? There are several types of unilateral vision impairment:

Amblyopia, or lazy eye, is a condition where one eye sees better than the other.
The condition can be called reversible, since when proper therapy you can get rid of this problem.

This violation occurs due to the fact that each eye perceives different pictures that the brain cannot combine. In this regard, the brain turns off one eye.

Most often, this pathology occurs as a consequence of strabismus. The disease can also be triggered by refusal to correct vision with glasses or contacts.
Temporal arteritis is when the artery compresses the optic nerve and one eye begins to perceive worse for this reason. the world. Most specialists cannot determine the reasons for this diagnosis. This disease can lead to complete loss of visual function.
Optic neuropathy leading to ischemia due to diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis.
Carotid artery stenosis, which most often occurs in older people. For this reason, vision in one eye deteriorates due to changes in blood flow levels.
Such a disorder can bother the patient from several minutes to several hours. Most often, after such manifestations of the body, a third of patients experience disturbances in the blood circulation of the brain, which can lead to micro-strokes.

Factors leading to unilateral vision loss

Strabismus.
Hereditary factor.
Disruption of blood flow.
Pinched nerve.
Eye injury.
Head injury.
High blood pressure.
Accompanying illnesses.
Congenital pathology.
Previous eye infection.

Risk groups in adults

The following categories of people are often at risk for unilateral vision loss:

Those who suffer from strabismus or have close relatives suffering from this pathology.
Patients who ignored treatment for astigmatism, farsightedness, myopia and myopia.
Patients who suffer from strabismus.
Those who suffer from high blood pressure.
People with inflammation of the temporal artery.
Working in injury hazardous conditions, for example, in dusty workshops, with a welding machine, with fire bulk materials and at the same time do not comply with safety rules.
Those who engage in extreme sports.
Patients who do not wear contact lenses and glasses, ignoring the specialist’s instructions.

Causes leading to rapid vision loss

TO rapid loss The following factors may lead to vision:

Diabetes mellitus is a disease that very often affects visual acuity not only unilaterally, but also bilaterally.
Irregularities at work thyroid gland, in this case, vision loss may be affected by nerve atrophy.
Cerebral hemorrhages, especially micro-strokes.
Hypertension has a very negative effect on the capillaries, which prevents them from fully nourishing the retina.
Atherosclerosis can cause blockage of retinal vessels, which can lead to eye infarction.

Methods of treating the disease

Any disease is more adequately treatable at the initial stage, so it is worth visiting an ophthalmologist at least twice a year.
What to do if vision in one eye becomes worse?
If the cause of the disorders is the underlying disease, then first of all it is recommended to undergo therapy according to the main source. After correct setting diagnosis, the specialist can suggest conservative or surgical treatment, depending on the severity of the problem and its causes.

At conservative treatment offer:

Drops.
Gymnastics for the eyes.
Correction with glasses and lenses.
Hardware correction.
Occlusions.
Treatment using computer programs.
Laser electrical stimulation.

During surgery:

Surgery using a laser;
or scalpel.

Surgical treatment is aimed at replacing the lens of the eye, since it cannot adequately cope with the load.

Useful gymnastics to improve vision

Ophthalmologists recommend that in order to preserve your vision and not completely lose it, you should use eye exercises.

Exercise No. 1. Movement of the eyes horizontally, vertically, clockwise and counterclockwise.
Exercise No. 2. Blink very quickly for two minutes, then rest and repeat.
Exercise No. 3. Draw different noses using the nose geometric figures, letters, numbers and just lines.
Exercise No. 4. Starting position - the eyes look straight, then move to the finger, which is located at the tip of the nose, and return to the starting position.
Exercise No. 5. Turn your gaze to objects that are nearby, and then to those that are far away.

Gymnastics can be performed in any comfortable position at home, at work and on vacation.

Disease Prevention Measures

To maintain visual acuity and clarity in mature age There are a number of preventive measures:

do eye exercises;
do cold and hot shower, in the morning: first wash your eyes with hot, then cool water, in the evening, vice versa;
apply drops that moisturize the eyes;
make lotions using parsley juice or plain black tea;
use hypoallergenic and only natural cosmetics;
do light massage eyes, in the form of pats, stroking and light pressure, to improve blood circulation.

Measures to prevent vision loss:

It is necessary to constantly monitor the correct and sufficient lighting.
When reading, the light should be from behind and illuminate what you are reading.
Get rid of the habit of reading while lying down or in any vehicle.
If working conditions are associated with danger to the eyes, then all safety rules should be followed.
The computer must be located at least seventy centimeters from the visual organ.
Clean your eyes of makeup before going to bed, and try, if possible, not to use it while on vacation or at home.
Eye cosmetics should be natural, fresh and of high quality.
Do not rub your eyes with dirty hands, avoid infections.
Try to protect your head and eyes from injury.
Visit your ophthalmologist at least twice annually.
Do not look into fire or sun without special protective equipment.
Do not suddenly lift weights.
Excess weight can also cause vision impairment, as it provokes many diseases that can affect the ability to see well.
Limit your time watching TV and working on the computer.
Spend more time outdoors.

It is very important to include in your diet following products power supply:

Carrot.
Parsley.
Spinach.
Legumes.
Sauerkraut.
Hawthorn.
Rose hip.
Fish oil and fish of any kind.
Currants.
Apricots.
Citrus.
Pumpkin.
Cottage cheese.

Unilateral blurred vision in the dark

Vision problems that occur at dusk are defined in medicine as hemeralopia. It is also called “night blindness”. Chronic lesions of the retina provoke a deterioration in the quality of life.

Hemeralopia can be determined by the following signs:

visual acuity decreases;
orientation in the dark is impaired;
the radius of vision is lost;
light perception deteriorates;
blue and yellow colors become difficult to define.

Hereditary predisposition, doctors put in first place in the occurrence of “ night blindness" Vision problems of any nature in close relatives cause similar complications. Another risk group is people with insufficient vitamin intake.

Experts have identified whole line reasons causing sudden development hemeralopia:

pregnancy period;
physical exhaustion;
development of glaucoma;
long period of illness;
anemia;
malnutrition, starvation;
excessive physical activity.

A disease that is defined hereditary factors, cannot be treated. To prevent the development of complications, taking certain vitamin complexes is recommended. Preventive actions related to compliance rational nutrition, healthy image life. Daily use foods rich in vitamin A: tomatoes, carrots, black currants, apricots, cod liver, butter, egg yolk, will help prevent complications.

Eye pain and poor vision

Painful sensations in the eye area lead not only to a deterioration in visual acuity, but also to the development of headaches.

One eye can become sick for a number of reasons, the main ones being related to pathological processes in the eye itself:

Conjunctivitis is one of the most common infectious diseases among adults and children. Eyelid swelling and tearing develop in one or both eyes. The eye begins to hurt and it is difficult to see. The use of special drops and often antibiotics is indicated. Self-medication, especially folk remedies, can lead to serious complications.
Herpes infection develops primarily on the cornea of the eye. They get sick most often during the cold season. Causes: weakened immunity and hypovitaminosis. Treatment consists of eliminating the herpes virus from the body.
Amblyopia, characterized by dysfunction visual analyzers. The irreversible phenomenon in one eye is due to disruption of communication with the brain. People call the disease " lazy eye». Conservative therapy based on vision correction using glasses and lenses.
Cataracts form due to retinal detachment. Inflammatory process causes blurred vision and painful sensations in the affected eye. Treatment is based on surgical treatment, based on replacing the diseased lens with a new one.
Barley appears on the eye within 2-3 days. It all starts with partial compaction and redness. Then an ulcer-like tumor forms, which bursts on days 5-7 and pus comes out of it. It is best to consult a doctor with this problem at the first sign. Stopping barley in the first two days will stop the disease. Reception shown synthetic drugs internally and externally, directly on the sore eyelid.

My head hurts, my eyes have trouble seeing

As a result of high visual concentration, overexertion and prolonged mental stress My head starts to hurt. This symptom is often accompanied by partial visual impairment. Doctors note that while these signs are temporary, urgent measures need to be taken. If neglected, they will lead to the development of diseases, the treatment of which will require serious medical therapy.

A headache with simultaneous deterioration of vision can be caused by pathological conditions:

Migraine and cluster pain. The pain syndrome is characterized by significant intensity and is often localized on one side, in the temple area or in one eye. The patient cannot look at bright light. Begins to feel dizzy from loud noises and even strong odors. Violation and distortion of vision occurs.
Sinusitis is characterized by pain in the eye and forehead areas. Swelling of the eyes and sinuses develops. Visual acuity deteriorates. With complications, the face begins to swell, vision is significantly impaired.
Liquorodynamic disturbances are associated with deterioration of circulation cerebrospinal fluid. Headaches are combined with pressure surges, lack of appetite and nausea. The inflammatory process is accompanied by problems in the brain, including tumors and blurred vision.
Ophthalmic problems such as false myopia and glaucoma. They cause severe spasms eye muscles. As a rule, the ocular reaction to changes is lost focal lengths, which leads to visual impairment. This can happen with one or two eyes at the same time.
Neuralgia provokes the development of headaches and partial loss of vision. Irreversible processes with the eyes and facial nerves, are directly related to how often a person gets nervous.
Blood and eye pressure are directly related to the development pain syndrome head and education negative reactions before our eyes.

The most effective vitamins

Taking vitamin and mineral complexes plays an important role in caring for eye health. Restoring the balance between the functioning of all organs and systems is impossible without replenishing the required level of nutrients.

The following review of eye vitamins is based on popularity ratings based on consumer reviews:

Complivit Oftalmo. The complex is sold in a package of 60 tablets. Contraindicated for use under 18 years of age. Helps strengthen eye blood vessels, improves tissue regeneration, protects against UV radiation.
