Diabetic Retinopathy

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.

blow your eye up

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).

the light that gets into it

You could have a clogged or occluded nasolacrimal duct. The tears are produced by the lacrimal glands on the upper/outer area of the eye, wash across the eyeball and go into the small hole on the inner aspect of the lower eyelid. This is the opening for the nasolacrimal duct which carries the tears into the nose. If it becomes blocked for any reason the tears have nowhere to go except down your cheek. It can be flushed out by an ENT doctor.

Social Security offers two types of benefits for person's who qualified under their guidelines which pertain to the mentally or physically impaired. Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income. Information and a "test" to determine the possibility of qualifying for one or both can be found at http://www.ssa.gov

When my daughter was young she would tell me that the red colour in Target stores made her feel like she wanted to faint. She is now in her teens and no longer complains of it. I often wondered what it meant.

In diabetic retinopathy, the retinopathy is the manifestation.

There are inner lenses within your eyes that actually move and change in order to focus from short distance to long distance, this is typically involuntary since no one physical thinks about how the eyes focus in order to actually do so. As you get older your lenses take a shape which are suitable for the range of sight you typically use. In some cases a persons lenses will be ill adjusted and require glasses or contacts in order to see better, as a result of short-sightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism

Unmodifiable risks for the development of diabetic retinopathy include factors such as the duration of diabetes, with longer disease duration increasing the risk. Age is another significant factor, as older individuals are more susceptible to the condition. Additionally, a family history of diabetic retinopathy can predispose individuals to develop the disease, highlighting genetic influences. Lastly, the type of diabetes—Type 1 or Type 2—also plays a role, with Type 1 diabetes generally presenting a higher risk over time.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) stage 3 is characterized by the presence of abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, leading to the formation of retinal neovascularization. At this stage, the condition is classified into two subcategories: stage 3A, where the neovascularization is less severe, and stage 3B, where it is more extensive. Treatment may be necessary to prevent progression to more severe stages, which can result in vision loss. Early detection and monitoring are crucial for managing ROP effectively.
