My girlfriend keeps thinking she has something in her eye... 

 

 

 

I couldn't find anything, just this... is it bad?

Geekzone.co.nz ain't the best place to ask.

 

I wouldn't suggest googling it, or asking the internet but seeing professional medical advice. 

 

Trust me, googling and the internet will quickly you turn both into hypochondriacs!

If only there was a place you go to where the staff had studied for years and had lots of experience treating things like this...

I would consult an ophthalmologist fairly soon.

It's probably cancer, according to Google

Start with a regular optometrist, easier to find, easier to get an appointment, they'll refer you on quickly if they need to.

Seek professional help pronto.

 

At least see a pharmacist as they can dispense antibiotic eye drops that are kept behind the counter.

 

But seriously, I would see my GP to start with.

 

Went over to see an ophthalmologist/optomerist  and he wasnt able to prescribe anything and ended seeing my GP,

 

for some eye drops.  I will not post what they prescribed here in this forum for obvious reasons.

Seek professional advice. Probably best to start with your GP.

 

Don't confuse the following three:

 

Ophthalmologist

An ophthalmologist is a medical  doctor who specializes in eye and vision care. Ophthalmologists differ from optometrists and opticians in their levels of training and in what they can diagnose and treat.

Optometrist

Optometrists are healthcare professionals who provide primary vision care ranging from sight testing and correction to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of vision changes. An optometrist is not a medical doctor.

Optician

Opticians are technicians trained to design, verify and fit eyeglass lenses and frames, contact lenses, and other devices to correct eyesight. They use prescriptions supplied by ophthalmologists or optometrists, but do not test vision or write prescriptions for visual correction. Opticians are not permitted to diagnose or treat eye diseases.

Ophthalmologist is a doctor with 5 years of post graduate training specialising in the medicine and surgery of the eye.

 

They will be the ones everyone ultimately refers to / consults. (top of the food chain).

 

But common things being common start with your GP.

Perhaps to much watching the bachelor that would kill anybody's eyes.

I'm having a similar problem. I only seem to get it at night.  It's fine during the day.  I've had it for a while and, after a bad night, I'm planning to get onto it today.  First call will be my mum of course, after which I will probably ring the doctor.

Go see an optometrist. They know more about eye issues than your GP does. You'll almost certainly get referred to the ophthalmologist.
Do it today.

While everyone is her I seem to be having this issue with my leg.  I tripped over the other day and now this bit of bone is sticking out, I tried to push it back in but it didn't really work.

 

 

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

Probably nothing serious, but needs to be checked by a professional, as described above, for either eye or leg!

This is getting silly.

OP as suggested above, go to an appropriate medical professional.




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
