What Causes Vision Problems For A 64-year-old Male?

Trying to help my friend. He has what appears to be poison ivy on his left forearm--began about 36 hours ago. Today, he is out in the sun and experienced some vision problems (felt like things were in his eyes and he couldn t get rid of them). He s a 64 year old male, good health, drinks a lot of alcohol. Thoughts?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

It may be due to cataract.

For further assessment I would suggest you to consult with ophthalmologist for detailed clinical examination.

Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.

You may require surgical intervention after consultation.

Use proper glasses

Hope I have answered your query..
Let me know if I can assist you further.
