  • Ever heard of an eye stroke? A Retinal vein occlusion can be classified as a branch retinal vein occlusion, a central retinal vein occlusion or a hemi central retinal vein occlusion. These "eye strokes" often cause severe vision loss due to macular edema (a swelling of the retina) or secondary glaucoma.

      Please talk about amblyopia as it pertains to adults. Much of what is on the internet covers the topic as it relates to children. I just had my fifth eye surgery (strabismus 2x, lateral tarsal strip, cataract, blepharoplasty) and have ongoing botox injections (blepharospasms). I also have dry eye issues and a blind eye. Needless to say, I look forward to each of your videos and always learn something new. Thank you!

    I woke up one morning blind in my right eye. I went to my opthamologist and I was diagnosed with a branch retinal artery occlusion. I spent 3 days in the hospital having more tests than ever. They never found a cause for it. Luckily my vision came back but my Peripheral vision has permanent silver swirls in it. It’s so much better than full blindness. That was two years ago and every morning I still hold my breath when opening my eyes lol. Super scary.

      Hi Jessica! Maybe I'm going on a limb here, but do you suffer from migraines too by any chance? If that's the case I would strongly recommend you to get tested for antiphospholipid antibodies with an hematologist to understand if this wasn't the underlying cause for your eye event and potentially prevent recurrence. Hope this helps.

    Dr Allen, so glad I found this video. I am a 71 yo female. Last July 17th I awoke and discovered my left eye was completely blurred. I already had an appt with my eye doc 3 days later so I didn't call with an emergency - it did clear a little. My eye doc sent me to the retina specialist, which was a week later. I was told by a resident who was taking my history (UAMS) that dehydration is a cause - I had seen my pcp a few weeks prior bc I had gotten dehydrated - just not drinking enough water. I started taking the monthly injections having received 5 so far. The specialist told me on my last visit that he would extend my visits to every 6-8 weeks to monitor. The blur in the lower right quadrant. It has improved greatly but the vision isn't great, however, the right eye has compensated. The doc told me that it will probably happen again. This concerns me. I worry that it can happen in my R eye then I will be up a creek. What say you? Thank you for your efforts to educate John Q.

    I’m a COA for a retina specialist and I loved this video (I actually do most of the FA’s for my clinic)! We treat vein and artery occlusions all the time. It so important for patients to not only know what to look out for and the risk factors, but how important it is to get treatment quickly and listen to the doctor’s advice! I see so many patients who I could have saved from so much vision loss if they hadn’t waited so long after having symptoms to be seen. Thanks so much for this video!

      My right eye had a said 'stroke'. The ophthalmologist has refered me to specialist that is scheduled for January 4, 2023, about 20 days or so away. Funny, vegan-vegetarian... stress and some high blood pressure at a certain point might of caused this. One other thing, 64, 65 in 1 month, in early Spring i fell of a tree 18 feet high straight on my right back side. Broke couple ribs, bruised few more. Recoup fully, all in all, within 3 weeks. Dr couldn'tbelieve it. Just wondering if such a trauma could be at the base of my eye said 'stroke'? Vision in my right eye is about 60%, reading is difficult with this eye because letters disappear on me... really like this video and your very clear explanation :) cheers :)

    Excellent video. Although I was inactive before I was 35, I became extremely active from that point on. I had optical migraines for years then suddenly had trouble seeing after looking at a bare lightbulb in my basement followed by blurry vision and seeing strange shapes in my vision. I went to my GP who looked into my eye and I could see the panic in his face immediately. It was retinal artery occlusion. Steroids injections which cased increased eye pressure which went away for 20 years and has now returned. On a drop today to reduce eye pressure. I’m 65 now and still don’t wear glasses. Your explanation was better than my own eye doctor of this condition.

    The old joke, "I need that like a need a needle in my eye" is about to come true and the joke is on me. I was just diagnosed with BRVO with macular edema yesterday when I saw my ophthalmologist after noticing a problem in my left eye 3-4 days earlier. He referred me (you guessed it) to a retinal specialist, who I will be seeing tomorrow. Really appreciate all of this outstanding information. It will help me better address the questions I'm going to have for my retinal specialist tomorrow. I hope I get some good news. But it sounds like I'll be getting a needle or two in my eye, which I'd rather have than my central vision being a blurry, jumbled mess.

      Black spaces or holes in the vision, kind of hard to explain. Get into a retinal specialist immediately.

    I have a question for you. I have been meaning to mention at my last eye doctor's appointment and Dr's appointment. but forgot. who should I talk to about my eye-bulging slightly temporarily for 15-30 seconds. (partially believe due to certain stress- not 90% sure though)? it feels weird and my sight fades? or blurs more as it happens. ty in advance - love your videos!!!

    Thank you so much for the excellent explainer video. I appreciate it so much. This is just what I have been suffering from since 2016 -- on top of my Daltonism from birth. After many, many (like a couple of dozen) Avastin and Eylea injections and a steroid implant that was the mother of all floaters for a couple of years, I am simply frustrated with my condition and stopped having my (right) eye pierced by a needle, however miniscule and thin, periodically, and getting no better vision. I guess I have resigned to having a bad right eye and a better left eye untiI get a stroke (pun not intended) of bad luck and have another episode in my left eye. Maybe have a retina transplant? Stem cell treatment? Laser surgery? A very specific prismatic lens to compensate for the irregularities in my retina surface? I mean, if the medical science today can come up with an mRNA or inactive virus vaccine within a year in response to a virus pandemic instead of like, I don't know, maybe ten years, why can't the researchers do something, anything, to an obviously age-related affliction which will one day visit some (if not most) of them too? Sorry for the rant, but I am frustrated...

    Hi doctor i have been wearing specs for a long time since i was young. However, as age grows, i began to experience “lost control” of my eyes sometimes. Its has if that my eyes is moving on its own and causing blurred vision. It usually happens when I’m too tired or lack of sleep. Is it something of a concern?

    TOPIC REQUEST! - Contact Lens Peripheral Ulcer and Marginal Keratitis
    Hi Dr Allen! This is my first time commenting using this account ( I was the commenter that told you about how you helped solve my dry eye situation I think 2 videos back). I wanted to request this particular topic because I have FINALLY figured out what's going on with my eyes and why I couldn't wear my contact lenses back to back, but there's not a lot of info on the internet about these conditions.
    The topic is Contact Lens Peripheral Ulcers (CLPU) and also Marginal Keratitis, bc these two are very similar in physical appearance. Hope you can teach us briefly on these in a future video :)

    Although you may never fully regain your eyesight if you've suffered visual impairments after a stroke, it is possible to improve muscle control and vision.👍

    • @DoctorEyeHealth
      @DoctorEyeHealth  3 года назад +3

      Yes, a good thing to note is that this video was about a retinal stroke, You can also have a stroke that affects the visual cortex and other aspects of the brain that control eye movements. Usually, if vision improves past a stroke, it improves over the first 6 months. Vision therapy and special prism glasses can be used to help with the rehabilitation.

  • @anitaclemens2609
    @anitaclemens2609 9 месяцев назад

    I have the first condition you were talking about. For the last three months I have been getting eye injections. Last month my doctor said it looked like it was going away. So, I didn't see her for 6 weeks instead of the usual 4 weeks. But last Wednesday, the inflammation was back. She injected another more powerful drug into my eye, told me to come back on November 8th and hopefully this will help. If not, she was talking about eye surgery to remove scar tissue. You didn't mention surgery. What is involved with that? And do people usually go from not a strong drug to a stronger drug? Why don't they just give you the stronger drug first? What a great profession you have, really fascinating stuff. Thank you for explaining this to us. When I was at my appointment this week the tech who was taking a picture of my eye told me that recently a women came in and as they were looking at her eye, they noticed she was having a stroke, right there in front of them. They got her to a hospital and saved her life. What a satisfying profession you have. BTW, I am a 69 year old women. I have low blood pressure. I work out every day and I rarely eat greasy hamburgers. We eat mostly clean organic foods and mostly chicken and fish with lots of veggies and fruits. I only smoked in my 20's. So, I have no idea where this eye condition came from. I was using Lumify eye drops for a while, I thought maybe I did it to myself. Thanks again.

    Wow! So interesting. I had a ruptured brain aneurysm - a right Paraopthalmic aneurysm, which is a type of stroke. Thank God I did not go blind. Every once in a while, maybe once a year, I will experience an ocular migraine. I have noticed that this comes from extremely bright direct light and strobe lights. Maybe this would be a good topic to do a video.

    Watched your video and thanks for the explanation.Reinforces what my retina specialist is doing. Had 2 injections and the the scans with the dye and learnt laser is not an option for my case. Had the 3 injection, but different manufacture and drug. The improvement has been nominal and not getting worst. My question : Is it safe to go scuba diving ? I am a retired scuba diving instructor (65 years old). Plan 2 to 3 days of relative diving. Was for diagnosed with CRVO last may. Thanks so much

    Just got diagnosed with this on Wednesday. I only have loss in my lower right peripheral in my left eye. Is this a fatal condition or will I be able to live a long life with it? Ct scan and bloodwork all came back fine and I am currently on blood thinners and cholesterol medication for precautionary measures
