toy poodles can come in a range of colours but the most common are white, tanned and black.

medicare does not cover vision care, i assume medicaid does not either

The outlook for people with RVO is fairly good whether it is treated early or not. With no treatment at all, approximately 60% of all patients recover 20/40 vision or better within a year.

A blood glucose level of 143 is slightly high. You are likely to notice some effects but everyone's reactions could be different. You need to talk to your doctor to find out what it means for you in combination with other factors. If you are diagnosed with diabetes, it is routinely treated with medication. That level is probably not dangerous, however if you just ate your level could quickly rise to dangerous even fatal levels if left untreated.

By "pressure behind an eye," I'm going to assume that what is meant is pressure inside the eye. Eye pressure (intraocular pressure) is controlled by a watery fluid called aqueous humour, which fills the front part of the eye. Any condition that affects the drainage or production of the eye fluids can cause an increase in eye pressure. In addition, brain disorders and hemorrhagic eye injuries can also cause elevation of eye pressures and associated pain. Any increase in ocular pressure deserves assessment by an ophthalmologist.

In the early stage of diabetic retinopathy called Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR), Diabetes causes the blood vessels in the retina to leak and form deposits called exudates. It is diagnosed by using fluorescein Angiography (FA) and Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT).

If actual leaking vessels are identified, these leaking vessels can be treated by sealing them with Laser Photocoagulation Treatment to further resolve the swelling and prevent further vision loss.

It is expected that there will be oral medication which is hoped to stabilize the diabetic eye disease. The first such oral medication for nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy will likely be a drug called Ruboxistaurin Mesylate.

If it is only slightly bigger then I would think your baby is going to be left handed.

The bigger left ear and bigger left eye has really nothing to do with being left or right handed.

Our heart pumps on the left hand side. So the blood comes easier to your left body parts. Usually your left testicle hangs more down because it's slightly bigger and the left breast is usually bigger.

Ask the doctor at the next check up.

a lens works when light goes through it and refracts (bends) inside the lens. so the light basically refracts inside the lens.
A camera lens uses refraction to focus light on the film, or in a digital camera on the CCD or other light-sensitive array. When a ray of light passes from a less dense to a more dense medium (such as from air to glass) it slows down. If it strikes the glass surface at an angle, it is also bent a little, and this is called refraction. When it passes back into air, it speeds up again, and is again refracted if the surface is at an angle. This makes it possible to design a curved piece of glass that will focus a parallel beam of light (arriving perpendicular to the lens, that is along its axis) to a point. The ideal surfaces are parabolas (or you can use one flat surface and one parabola, this is a plano-convex lens). When you use a magnifying glass to focus the sun's rays and set paper on fire, that's the effect you are using. The interesting thing happens when the light rays are parallel to each other but not parallel to the axis through the centre of the lens. Just take it on trust for a moment, this same lens will also focus these, but to a point above, below or beside the focal point for rays along the axis, and all these points of focus of parallel rays will form a plane, called the focal plane of the lens. So, you put the film at this focal plane, and you've now used the lens to concentrate the light on the film, and form an image. That will only work for objects far enough away that the light rays are roughly parallel to each other. For closer objects, you need to move the film a little closer to the lens. That's what happens when you focus a camera (or autofocus does this for you). The bigger the lens, the more concentrated the light, but the more critical focussing becomes. So, camera lenses have a second control, the iris or f-stop, that changes the size of the lens by masking the outer bits of it. It's a compromise between getting lots of light and making the focus more forgiving. If you use a very small lens, lots of things will be in focus. That's called depth of field. Whew! Still there? Camera lenses are normally made of four or more bits of glass or plastic, because this ideal one-piece lens doesn't work for two reasons. Firstly, the amount of bend depends on the colour. This is called chromatic aberration. Secondly, in practice it's hard to make parabolic lenses, but far easier to make spherical ones, which are close to ideal in the middle but get fuzzier as the lens gets bigger. This is called spherical aberration. Both of these can be corrected by using compound lenses, that is lenses made of more than one element - but never perfectly. Next, we can look at zoom lenses, or retrofocus lenses (a way of designing lenses to make them more compact). But that's probably enough for now.

It can be something harmless, such as an ocular migraine, or normal separation of the vitreous from the retina due to age, but it can also be a sight threatening condition such as a retinal tear. If the condition does not go away within an hour or so, it is best to consult an opthamologist immediately. Retinal tears can often be treated successfully if caught early enough.

I have been to the optician and he is concerned because the puff test indicates pressure behind my right eye. I have been to my GP and had my blood pressure taken and a number of other blood tests which have all come out normal. why is my optician so concerned?

Is it normal to have a gray shade still a week after surgery?

Basically, the lack of liquids in your body system. Actually.... A rise in plasma osmolality triggers thirst which in turn excites the hypothalamic thirst center. The hypothalamic thirst center neurons are stimulated when their osmoreceptors lose water by osmosis to the hypertonic ECF or are activated by angiotensin II, by baroreceptor inputs, or other stimuli.

Sudden change in blood pressure in the blood vessles around the the optice nerve will sometimes produced tiny currents that the optic nerve percieves as tiny spots. Think, were you changing position just before you noticed the tiny spots? Laying down then sitting or standing up? Sitting and then standing? Bending over then straightening up? Or do you have a cold and your nose is stuffed up? That too, can make the little changes in Blood pressure, localized around the optic nerve.

It's really nothing to worry about. Just about everyone has these but, most don't even notice it or aren't aware of it

teething ( when there teeth are starting to come through) there are creams to use for that.....

it could be something more serious so u may need to go and see the gp if it continues

The cause of seeing an oval prism light in both eyes could be a seizure. Alternatively, it could be aphasia. It is best to consult an eye doctor.

Retinopathy from diabetes eyesight recoverd

The vitreous humor of the eye has an average pH of 7.29 which is just slightly alkaline. Diabetes characteristically causes an abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye which can result in bleeding into the vitreous humor, which will lower the pH (although the pH is not the problem, it is the opacity of the blood which obscures vision).
