Brown Strands from Eye: Causes and Treatment

Patient's Query

What is this brown stuff coming from eue,looks like long strands of hair

Answered by Dr. Sumeet Agrawal

You could have dacryolithiasis. Brown stuff from your eyes that looks like hair might mean your tears aren't draining well. Blocked tear ducts can cause irritation, redness, and even infection. Try warm compresses and gentle eyelid massages to help with drainage. If the problem persists, see an eye doctor for proper treatment.

Kya cataract ki surgery karane se meri eyes sahi ho jaye gi ?? Bina operation ke eye thik nahi hosakti h kya??

Female | 21

The results of eye surgery can be helpful for your vision. Generally, when your eyes suffer from cataracts, you may tend to see things more or less, have problems with color, and even have trouble with night vision. Cataracts are the result of the lens of the eye becoming cloudy. The surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial one. This stuff can make you see better.

I'm suffering from fever and I have huge pain in my eyes

Female | 20

It seems you have pink eye, a type of eye infection. Your eyes hurt and have a fever. This sickness happens when germs infect the white part of your eyes. Germs like bacteria or viruses cause it. Warm towels on your eyes and keeping them clean helps. Don't touch your eyes too much. See an eye doctor if it doesn't get better.

For the last three days my eyes are itching a lot and have become a little red too.

Female | 19

You might have eye allergies. Itchy, red, watery eyes often mean allergens like dust, pollen, or pet dander irritating them. Over-the-counter eye drops can help soothe the discomfort. Don't rub your eyes. Wash hands often and keep living spaces clean to reduce allergens. If symptoms persist, consult an eye care professional.

I 28 years old. I have under gone Lasik eye surgery in Narayana Netralaya in 2019. But one of the eye didn't improve any eye sight...I went to them but they said the Par has removed and the number of both the eyes is zero.. but one eye I can't read and get blurred vision... Is there any way or is it necessary to undergo another surgery....please help me out in this issue

Male | 28

This is alarming because even in one of your eyes you still face an issue with clarity of vision after Lasik surgery. It is recommended that one consult an eye consultant doctor who conducts a full eye inspection. They take note of unique factors that cause blurred vision; these may be refractive errors or an underlying condition. This depends on what is found in the latter part of these surgical procedures so it may entail additional surgery if the findings are unfavorable, but proper professional assessment by an eye specialist would be better.

This issue is called myopia. It occurs when your eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved. However, wearing glasses with the right treatment helps correct this. You need regular eye exams to check your vision.

Blur vision due to shrunken optic nerve

Female | 46

If your optic nerve becomes smaller, it may lead to unclear eyesight. This happens when the nerve is injured or squeezed. You might have difficulty seeing things sharply or lose your peripheral vision. It is necessary to determine the reason behind this atrophy. It is important to consult a neurologist or an ophthalmologist as soon as possible to diagnose and treat the underlying cause.

Hi Doctor My wife is pregnant and having a pimple inside the eye lid. And eyes became painfully and red Watery

Female | 33

Your spouse may be suffering from what is called a stye, a pimple-like bulge on the eyelid. When oil glands are blocked, styes occur; they can be painful causing redness and watery eyes. To relieve the pain, apply warm compresses to the eye several times a day. Avoid rubbing your eyes. If the stye does not get any better or worsens, it would probably be a good time to consult with an eye specialist.

My eyes and body both are weak, perhaps this is not due to masturbation.

Male | 20

It's possible that your weak eyes and body might not be related to masturbation. Weak eyes could be due to issues like refractive errors or other eye conditions, while a weak body could be due to nutritional deficiencies, lack of exercise, or other health problems. It's best to consult an ophthalmologist for your eye issues and a general physician for your overall weakness to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Eye irritation went to sleep with my mascara on now my eyes are irritated

Female | 29

You should know that the eye irritation you woke up with, and your mascara particles could have been the cause. Mascara particles probably got into your eye while you were asleep. This might result in redness, itching, or even the feeling that a foreign body is sitting in the eye. You can treat your irritated eyes by getting all your makeup off and washing your face before sleeping. If these steps do not work then definitely seek the help of an ophthalmologist.

Hi ..I am forty-eight years old... Can I have LASIK to correct my vision... ??

Male | 48

Lasik eligibility depends on having a stable vision, eye health, and corneal thickness. At age 48, it's essential to consult an eye care specialist to determine if lasik is suitable for you. Other vision correction options like implantable lenses can be considered if Lasik isn't recommended.

Iam 27 year i have cataract problem of 2 year

Male | 27

Cataracts are eye conditions that cause cloudy vision, making it hard to see clearly. People with cataracts may notice that objects appear blurry, colors are less vibrant, and vision at night is more challenging. Cataracts typically develop when the lens in your eye becomes cloudy, often due to aging or other health issues. The most effective treatment is surgery, where the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial one.

The thing is that my father had a cataract surgery 9 days ago but as normal patient his eyesight hasn't come yet. He is facing blurriness or cloudiness and not able to see things properly. Kindly guide me by giving the best suggestion from your side.

Male | 56

The cloudy or blurry vision is one of the normal things to experience during the first few days after cataract surgery. Yet, as the condition has lasted more than a week, you are advised to see your ophthalmologist. In this situation, your father can ask these eye doctors who previously did his cataract for a close examination and treatment.

I have -7.5 eye sight In right eye and -3.75 eye sight in my left eye .am I eligible for pwd low vision category

Male | 24

Significant nearsightedness in both eyes is what you have in effect. This, though, can be a challenge, not the case for people who have disabilities, and may not necessarily be a reason for low vision. You may have symptoms such as blurry vision and struggle to see things at a distance. Genetic factors or eye shape can be some of the causes. Glasses or contact lenses can be used to correct the vision. Be sure to see an eye doctor for a thorough assessment and advice.

I’m a 28 years old female..I’m having right side temple pain and eye pain for about a month..not much severe..a dull ache..I get it everyday but not every time…I’m a shortsighted person also..could it be due to my sight problem??or any other serious condition??

Female | 28

If you are experiencing pain in the eyes and temples it might be related to your vision. On another note, nearsightedness can make your eyes work extra hard which causes discomforts such as these. However we should also consider more serious possibilities. Additionally, staring at screens or books too long without enough breaks; not sleeping well due to various reasons including stress could lead onto them pains too therefore among other things try adequate rest combined with good lighting for relief. Consult an eye specialist if they persist or get worse.

What can I do if my eyes gets red

Other | 25

Red eyes are common and can happen for many reasons, like a stuffy nose, dust, tiredness, or chlorine. Sometimes, conditions like arrhythmia or long periods of staring at screens can also cause red eyes. To help, you can use artificial tears to keep your eyes moist. If your eyes still feel irritated, taking a break and resting them is a good idea.

hi. I have a question if there is any treatment for eye stroke. This happened on 11/12/2023. Now they have regained their vision, but not completely, but especially in the middle of the eye, and I have a report and pictures of the eye. Thank you very much.

Male | 48

Eye strokes occur when blood vessels supplying the eye get blocked. Vision loss is the result. Regaining some sight is positive progress, good news indeed. To potentially improve vision further, an eye specialist appointment seems wise. They can suggest treatments, like eye exercises or medicine, that might help restore more eyesight. Diligent follow-up care with the eye doctor becomes crucial moving forward.
