I wanted to know if the diagnosis of aged cornea is correct or if it has another alteration that can be treated.

This fact translates into a loss of transparency, and progressive loss of endothelial cells. When I say loss of transparency I mean that it is a more tarnished cornea than the (Read more)

My left eyelid woke up, it doesn't hurt and I don't have a little red ball. It may be advisable to use Terramycin drops. Could it be an allergy or a small infection
Área Oftalmológica Avanzada 08/04/2020 19:45
Hello and thank you for submitting your ophthalmology question in our forum. If there is no spontaneous pain and there is no tender point on palpation, it is probably an allergic-type reaction. We recommend that you apply cold compresses and icol or terracortril ointment twice a day. If you are allergic (Read more)

Dear Claudia, Prolonged gazing at any source of strong light can cause such glare symptoms. They normally disappear spontaneously and without leaving sequelae. Obviously, if the symptoms persist, an ophthalmological examination appropriate to the case would be advisable. Greetings,

Dear Juan, In your case you have what is called Dellen, it is a corneal ulcer that occurs due to drying of the cornea. It normally appears when there is a pinguecula on the conjunctiva, which is that red part that you see in the image you attach. When the pinguecula is bulging, the cornea is not lubricated by (Read more)

Dear Sergio, From what you explain, it seems that it is a benign lesion, what we know as Pinguecula. They are accumulations of fat and inflammatory cells. They have a tendency to inflammation and therefore may appear more reddish in color, depending on the day. It must be controlled by an ophthalmologist and it becomes larger or (Read more)
