I was 38 and on my death hed for over a year. Not a single Dr. took me seriously or would send me for a scan . I was non functioning . Migraines making me throw up , neck pain , facial numbness on ine side , lost hearing on that side, throwing up ever day , high blood pressure , face shape was changing ..i was unable to walk properly I was so off balance. I could go on . I saw 5 doctors .. emergency .. they just brushed me off and told me to take more tylenol . I was out of my mind looking for answers so i booked an eye appointment. Normal exam looked fine but the. He did a deepr dive than normal abd noticed that I have a medical emergeny of optic nervw swelling . I was sent to an eye hosptial and the next day diagnosed wit a Grade 5 ( 7 .6cm) brain tumour that was about to hemmorage any day . EYE DOCTORS SAVE LIVES !!❤The tumour took my hearing from my left ear forever but by the grace of God was benign . I had a crainiotomy and had 90 percent of it removed and recovered amazingly. I would have died one day and left my daughters behind. Thank you Dr. LUCIAN !!!

For years, my grandma, mom to 10 children, had an internist as her family doctor. No regular GP, straight up an internist. In Belgium, we are free to consult specialists, without a previous referral (back then, now it is "cheaper" if you do get that referral). But anyway. That is why I love the field. The whole family went to the same doctor, children, grandkids, and he was an amazing, on top of everything, doctor. He is sadly missed. His wife was a lab tech and had her office in the next room. If you needed your blood drawn and checked, it was done on the spot! Results straight away. Yeah, we do miss that. My current GP recently added a nurse to his office. He is as near of care that we can all get to our old family doctor. All this to explain why I just *love* your channel. Take this video. Chock full of information that can potentially be useful and help us get care. You do still have to advocate for yourself in this world. Keep doing what you're doing. Awesome & amazing!

@cynthiashores57 5 месяцев назад

@@lynncameron9885 It is very common for a cataract to form. I already had a mild cataract and the retina surgery accelerated it's "growth". In 5 to 6 months time, all I saw was a white cloud when looking through the eye. Great doctor - and I can still see! I asked the doctor who figured out how to fix tears in the retina. He told me that many people went blind because they didn't know what to do about it. Scandinavian (?) doctors started the research and some US doctors were able to help with it. I worked with a woman whose son lost his vision in one eye due to a tear or detachment of the retina. They tried to save his eye but it was probably too late by the time they found it. He was very young when it happened.

Tiger Woods is right handed and left eye dominant, so his dominant eye is right over the ball when putting but 80% of people are right eye and arm dominant. Tennis players do a double handed shot to bring the dominant eye into the equation. You can read faster with your dominant eye and it is more likely to be myopic because it does more work.

Wow! So happy you covered GCA Giant cell artitis. 👏 I started watching this because I have eye problems. I almost moved on. You covered GCA ! I have had it for 4 years 2019 , Probably more. I had a great GP, he figured it out. Gave me prednisone, immediately (2-3 days) double vision resolved and my out of control blood pressure was going dow. I had 2 biopsy on each temporal artery. They were negative. They were about to stop the prednisone. I had done my research, lots of it! Dr Stone from Johns Hopkins watch a lecture he gave about it. got Actemra approved for treatment. I could tell my Dr. All the other symptoms I had that are tied to it. Even a gravelly voice! The prednisone stopped working, and I had lots of bad side effects. So they started Actemra! This saved my life and my vision. Never be afraid to be your own health advocate! Thank you for covering a much ignored illness. 😘

@salvadoroliveira6632 Год назад

Dr. Siobhan, I'm glad that you mentioned how retinoblastomas can be detected in fotos with a flash. The feature to reduce " red eyes " should be optional in cell phones, because it's difficult to detect changes in the retina when the pupils have been already contracted by the first flash immediately before the picture is taken.

I really like your point on sunglasses, such an easy way to protect the eyes. As an optometrist I am always saying this to my patients. Is also worth mentioning that sunglasses must have UV protection, most do but a lot of them don’t and this can actually be worst since sunglasses can dilate the pupil due to the reduced light and without UV protection the sunglasses can actually can make it worst. Also worth knowing that you can get UV protection on clear glasses not just sunglasses :)

I have RRMS and my most recent relapse was a severe case of optic neuritis. I lost 100% vision in my left eye within 48 hours, (it started as a small bluish dot in the centre of my eye and then boom) my MS team took amazing care of me as always, but the reason I bring this up is because during my physical examination with my neurologist before deciding treatment options she took a light to my eyes and saw that my left pupil responded the opposite of the way it should to light. She had a student with her and mentioned this reaction was less commonly seen outside of textbooks. IV steroid treatment and a stronger medication ended up helping me and allowing me to regain some vision. I found this video so interesting even though i failed so many of these fun little tests in your video. 😂 Question for you and your husband: When you were both in medical school, did either of you ever experience anything first hand you didn’t think you’d see outside of textbooks? (I love when my doctor has students, even if I’m usually only in there because of a relapse. Education is key)

@anita3907 Год назад

I have autoimmune arthritis and had bilateral anterior uveitis when I was 20. The onset of the pan was almost instant and the pain was absolutely excruciating. I had to wrap my head to block light coming in because closing my eyes still let in too much light, so I had to be guided around by someone that could see. Imagine walking from a dark house into direct sunlight and multiply the pain of your eyes adjusting by like a thousand. I had to use steroid drops, take prescription antiinflammatories and wait around 9 months for the residual inflammation to go away, so I couldn't wear contacts for that time. At the time, we didn't know about my autoimmune disease and the blood tests were inconclusive (classic) and the eye specialist said I'm 'just prone to inflammation' and no idea if it'll come back, good luck cya. So that was pretty unhelpful. It took several more years of pain and issues and a mega flare up of doom to actually get a diagnosis. Uveitis is no joke and I'm very grateful it has not come back since. I've been through a lot of pain and surgeries in my time and uveitis remains up there with the most intense pains

@bradbaker4679 4 месяца назад

I’m just getting over iritis which is a form of uveitis I think. I thought I just had pink eye but my right eye hurt so bad and was extremely sensitive to light. I waited a week until I went to my optometrist and he diagnosed me with iritis. I’m just finishing 1 month of steroid drops and my eye is feeling better although my vision in the eye is worse which I hope will improve after I stop the steroid drops. My optometrist was asking me if I had an autoimmune condition which I learned was a possible cause. I’m hoping this was just viral and doesn’t come back again….its very painful. Otherwise I’m gonna have to check for autoimmune disease if it happens again.

But it was an awful journey to figure out what was causing it due to a lack of awareness. The day we got a diagnos for his dropped eye, the doctor said she only had seen one other case during her career (and she was on the older side). We had to really push to get all tests done. After about 1,5 years, we got all scans back, and they did not find any tumour 🥳 Probably he's born with a damage on the nerv that sends the signals to the right half of his face. He's 3 now and perfectly fine!

My optometrist when I was growing up and into adulthood wrote the standards for testing horizontal gaze nystagmus for people suspected of driving under the influence in our state. He would always teach me whatever I was willing to learn. He told me that the plates used to test color blindness were meant to be given under natural light only. Many people have been diagnosed R-G color blind because the test was administered incorrectly. Just a gem that I thought I’d share from a man that made a great impact on my life. RIP CJ Forkiotis 💙 When speaking about near-sightedness and far-sightedness, what about those that need bifocals because they can’t see near or far? What shape would their eye be, and does it predispose them to any conditions?

@heythave 11 месяцев назад

Good question. I was thinking the same thing.

@CrewCoachHeather 11 месяцев назад

Most bifocal users start out either near sighted (my case), or far sighted. As we age the lenses in our eyes become more stiff, which makes it harder for the muscles in our eyes to adjust the shape of the lens. This is when we lose up close vision as well. My eyes are still shaped like a rugby ball.

Very well explained! Thanks so much for explaining ! You are so funny that I was being entertained while learning a lot. Knowledge is the key here! I took all the tests and passed them. Thank God so far so good for a 65 years old woman! I hope things stay like this for a long time. Thank s again!

💙💙 I've noticed with my own eyes as I've aged I'm only 32, but yeah my eyes are more sensitive to like strobe lights, and stuff like that. They really irritate them. Like I can't even look at something that has too many like flashes, or something like that. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it when I go in a couple weeks.

@user-yu5nu7em4z Месяц назад

I have sensitivity to flashing lights also. Do you get migraines or very bad headaches? I do and flashing or flickering lights triggers them. It does in many people. My eyes are also very light sensitive. You might ask your doctor if you might be susceptible to to migraines.

Very interesting and informative! You can also get yellow spots (Bitot’s spots) from a Vitamin A deficiency, which you noted is rare in first world countries. However, if you’ve had a Roux-N-Y gastric bypass you can actually get one if not careful. My husband , a gastroenterologist and nutrition support specialist had a patient that went blind from a vitamin D deficiency! He correctly diagnosed it. It was reversed with supplementation. Keep up the great videos!

I have heterochromia iridum (all 3 types--central, complete and sectoral) and it runs on both sides of my family. My father has it and my mother's mother had it (and a bunch of cousins too) :) I've never known anyone else with it who has it on both sides of their family.

@natalieedelstein Год назад

complete= your two eyes don't match in color scheme (I have 1 completely blue eye), sectoral means a section of your iris not immediately surrounding the pupil is a separate color from the rest, and I have an island of brown as well as some "oceans" of blue in that eye central means the area surrounding the pupil is a different color and for me, the entire surrounding of the multicolored pupil is green and it branches out to the periphery from 4'oclock to 10o'clock in green :D

@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane 10 месяцев назад

@@natalieedelstein My eyes are a medium blue with a gold/yellow ring around each pupil, and the very outermost part of my iris (the ring) is a darker blue. Does this mean I have the central type? My dad and his mom (my grandma) both had this and their eyes were beautiful! My mom had regular light blue eye color, and I don't remember what her mother's eyes looked like.
