Having Power In Eyes. Swollen Tissue Below The Eye. Prescribed Drops For Allergy. No Help. Suggestions?
I m a 23 yr old female that didnt need glasses until my 2nd yr of college. Just this year my eyesight worsened in June i went in and was told I was -.75 in each eye. However, only a few months later I went back in and my Left eye is now -1.00 and my Right is at -1.25. I can easily tell that my right eye is worse. I ve gone to the optometrist multiple times in the past few months because i noticed some swollen tissue on the bottom of my left eye when i pull my bottom eye lid down. After looking at my eye she declared that I have allergies. However it s been like this for 6 months now. I ve been using alaway, systane , and she even had me try prescription eye drops. Nothing has made the swelling go down. I am now worried there is something seriously wrong with my right eye and it s just going to continue to get worse. Should i be worried? Would an optometrist be able to tell if there was something seriously wrong? Please help ease my mind.
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Optometrist can not give proper guidance to your problem.
Consult Ophthalmologist and get your eye thoroughly examined.
He is the proper person to give exact diagnosis and treatment.
Ok and bye.
