is there any possibility for long sight along with myopic astigmatism | hello welcome to icliniq com in the prescription you have mentioned there are two components the spherical 75 and the cylindrical 5 at axes 70 10 respectively the important thing to note here is that reading glasses per se are given to people above 40 years of age in your case I feel that this power is probably your distance correction the doctor might have felt that they may be a bit cumbersome to wear all the time and would have given a small magnitude of power and probably have told you only to put them on during intense visual activities like watching computers reading books etc an accurate way to say whether these were meant for distance or for reading is to recall how you were tested at the doctor office in the first place suppose they made you sit at a distance and asked you to read out the letters on a screen then these are distance vision glasses if they had tested the power by giving you a book in your hand and asked you to read it then these would be reading glasses so coming back to your question firstly reading glasses are meant only for distances around am from you for the books and around 100 am for the computers and you would not be able to see beyond this second the far sighted power of 75 is determined by the length of your eyeball in case of far sightedness the eyeballs are shorter compared to normal and in near sightedness they are longer the astigmatic power is determined by the curvature of your cornea in your case myopic astigmatism the corneas are steeper at axes of 70 and 10 degrees respectively compared to the rest of the cornea in hypermetropic astigmatism they are flatter in that particular meridian compared to the rest of the cornea I hope this helps | hello doctor I am trying to understand my recent prescription I received and no longer can contact the doctor od 75 50 x070 os 75 50 x010 these are computer reading glasses is it normal if things are blurry at a distance even three feet starts to look weird on reading online I read this as slightly farsighted with slight nearsighted astigmatism in both eyes how is that possible | low severity |

can lasik or ice implantation done by controlling the eye pressure | hi how much is your eye pressure did the doctor measure it with an instrument that puffs out air at you or was it a blue light instrument that he used to touch your eye with from what you have told me I understand that you are interested in refractive surgery but the doctor refused to operate on you saying your pressures are high and that your power is too high for lasik it is true that your power is on the higher end of the patients we usually consider for surgery so doing lasik and park photorefractive keratectomy is not possible on the eye with 9d but can be done on the eye with and 5d putting an ice implantable contact lens in your eye might increase your eye pressure so I will not recommend that relax smile can be tried in both your eyes if the surgeon is confident I am guessing that he would have asked you to come for a follow up to re check pressures if the pressures were too high he would have asked for visual fields and a few other tests for glaucoma in either case it all depends on the surgeon experience and your eye pressures if you can tell me about your eye pressure and your vision in each eye with 9d and 1 5d I could help you better | hello doctor I am having spherical and and 5 cylindrical power in my eyes I have a border line eye pressure doctor said I cannot take laser or ice surgery but can have relax smile for that power but it also needs some cornea tissues which is a risk factor for glaucoma I do not know what to do now which treatment is better for me and the doctor just gave normal lubricant drops is there any treatment for me for refractive surgery by controlling eye pressure | low severity |

what are the side effects of radiation used in lithotripsy | hello there are enough studies and literature which prove that though there is radiation exposure during it computed tomography scan in the removal of kidney stone it is in low dose and chances of cancer do not increase so do not worry about that I do not think removing kidney to escape from radiation exposure is a good option you should not think of that if there is again stone formation then there is a treatment called ultrasound guided lithotripsy eswl which can break your stone from outside without any radiation exposure so you can do eswl extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy if required later but no need to remove the kidney | hello doctor I am 24 years old I had my kidney stone removed a year ago for causing mild hydronephrosis at my right kidney during the treatment I was exposed to full of radiation abdominal it scan lithotripsy fluoroscope and another fluoroscope during stent insertion I am not sure how the doctor manages the radiation I did my treatment abroad and it is not really a well developed country he might not even care bout it I studied some about radiation when I was in dental school so I am very scared of the side effects so if I am to have another case of hydronephrosis should I just remove the kidney rather than undergoing such radiation which may cause me high risk of future cancer because as you can see I am still so young and I just started my career what do you suggest do the pros outweigh the cons or vice versa is there another less risky treatment in terms of radiation how about invasive treatment is the risk higher aside from the slow healing and I am serious about the removal if indeed it has lower radiation risk even though I know kidney is very important please suggest | medium severity |
