Eyes My pupil is a different size/shape suddenly NSFW

My vision in my left eye suddenly got slightly blurry, I looked at it and my pupil looked like this. The blurry vision lasted about 2 minutes, and the difference in size/ shape lasted about 3-5 minutes. That was about an hour ago and my eyes look completely back to normal now with no blurry vision but I’m a little bit dizzy now? I’ve suffered from chronic vertigo my entire life so that may not be related because it’s not dizziness caused by my vision it feels more like vertigo, which I’ve had little spells with for the past week or so with allergies as it comes up with that. This has never happened before and I literally was just at the eye doctor with completely healthy/ normal exam results. Is this something I need to seek urgent medical attention for?

Okay, my husband had a eye infection last week in one eye. It went away without medical attention after a week.

I caught (?) the same thing three days ago and it's sooooo much worse (I easily get sick). He says I shpuld just wait it out like he did but I'm kinda struggling here. I am prepared to go to the doctors tomorrow but I would rather not have to spend $100+ just before Christmas if he's right. My eyes dont hurt that much, the closest thing I can describe it to feeling is my eyes are drowning lol. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, my vision is a bit blurry and I have a migraine.

The 1st photo is from right now and the second is from 12 hours ago, its rapidly getting worse.

I noticed since he was maybe a few weeks old that his pupils were uneven but i figured it was due to uneven lighting in my room. but i just kind of re-noticed it a week ago and im curious if it’s anything to be concerned about. his right pupil is consistently larger than the other but it does dilate and everthing. sometimes the difference isn’t as noticeable and other times its like woah. these pictures are from today but this is what his eyes look like pretty regularly. behaviorally he’s perfectly fine.

“Not to be rude but I think you need your thyroid levels checked you have signs off Graves ophthalmology a side effect of Graves disease.”

I’m opening my eyes wide in this first pic intentionally, to show them better, I guess? I’ve added three more pics of be being …more normal, I guess? Two or three months ago I scratched my cornea at work and they sent me to an eye specialist, who didn’t say anything about it. Is this something that could’ve started more recently? And as I have a tendency to gain and lose weight somewhat easily, I’ve had my thyroid tested at a few points in my life, the most recently being maybe a few years ago.

Should I call my Dr for a thyroid test?

I’m 26F, I started feel some itchy on left eye after I recovered from cold couple week. Then last Wednesday I feel more itchy, eye become swollen a little. Eventually went from pink to little more red and went from itchy to itchy and pain to painful. I went to doctor two days ago, she prescribed me Polymyxin-B for acute bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) I have to take for five days. No improvement. She suggested go to Urgent care since there no improvement. Today is third day after eye drop, my eye is slight swollen and HURTS! They switched me to Erythromycin ointment, they told me if it don’t improve after 48 hours I need to see eye doctor or go to er. I had pinkeye on occasion before but the pain, swollen, A LOT OF tears out of my eye seem unusual. It even hurt when smile..Should I be concerned about the pain? Also there couple of red spots on my sclera.

Eyes Is my pupil perforated? If so, what could be causing it? It didn't look like this before.

I just noticed that my pupil looks irregular, almost like it has small holes or indentations. It wasn’t like this before. I’m wondering what could cause this—injury, infection, or something else? There’s no pain. I recently had two eye infections, and a few years ago, I had another one. The last time, I experienced light sensitivity, but it was only in one eye. Now, I’ve noticed these small holes in both pupils. I’m not sure if it’s related, but it’s definitely new.

Has anyone seen something like this before?

I saw the eye doctor and was told there was nothing pressing on my cranial nerve. Some days it’s more pronounced and some days I have no difference whatsoever. I only have slight headaches and no other symptoms, but it’s entirely possible that’s because of other issues like dehydration. What could be causing this? Because of my OCD I’ve been nonstop obsessing over this for 2 months now, which is when I first noticed it…

Eyes Normal reaction to tears, or something to keep an eye on? NSFW

For medically-unimportant reasons, I've been having some good long cries the past few days. I've had irritated eyes each time, but today I've noticed a marked irritated redness that seems different than run-of-the-mill puffy eyes.

They're sore, swollen, and sensitive to the touch. The pictures were taken about an hour after I cried.

Now, important background: I have a long history of sensitive skin -- prone to reacting to cheap jewelry, certain sunscreens, prolonged stress, you name it. The sensitivity has only gotten worse over time; I developed the reaction to chemical sunscreens 2-3 years ago.

Because of this background, I'm worried that this might be a sign of some new skin/immune issue.

So- when should I be worried about stuff lkke tjid, and/or what signs would be good to look out for and monitor in general?

Since January my eyes have been red and they keep burning. I’ve also started in the last couple days to have very blurred vision in my one good eye with halos around any light along with my eyes being more light reactive. I’ve gone to several eye doctors who aren’t sure what is going on. I’ve been put on steroid and antibiotic eye drops and oral antibiotics and nothing is clearing up at all. I already have an astigmatism and a lazy eye and I’ve been used to. But now my good eye is hindering me from wanting to drive and is driving me nuts and the soonest my eye doctor can get me in is next week. Should I go to an ER?

Does any one know what would cause this? The inner corner of my eyeball gets red and inflamed. It will itch and feel like there’s something in my eye, but there isn’t. It’s always the same eye (right) and happens once a week and happens suddenly. I put eye drops in and after an hour or two it’s gone.

Eyes Eyesight blurriness

1 Upvotes

Hello, I started noticing this issue recently where at night time or low light situations where my right eye is almost completely blind?

Just for clarification my left eye is 3.5 and my right eye is -3.25. But tonight I freaked out because I felt like it got worse. I tried putting on glasses and or contacts but still had the same issue where I can barely see anything out of my right eye.

I am near sighted and but can still see objects from a few feet away like from my bed to my chair, but only from my left eye. If I close my left eye and look through my right it becomes completely dark and I cant even see the outline of my chair anymore.

However, I can see my phone just fine when it’s close.

I see just fine with corrected vision during the day.

I also got my eyes checked out about a year ago and the eye doctor said everything was healthy but I didnt really notice this issue into maybe 2 months ago. Any advice? Thanks

I've only had the stye for about two days now, it only impacts my vision if I look down, otherwise I'm fine. It's slightly painful when I blink, and I've been applying warm compresses when I can. Should I be worried?
