Dr. Tracy C Crnic M.D.'s Expert Contributions
  • How long does it take for red, itchy eyes to clear?

    It depends entirely on what is causing the problem. I would recommend seeing your eye doctor to determine the cause of your symptoms and they can better guide your expectations for relief. READ MORE

  • Can eye drops make dry eyes worse?

    It depends on what the eye drops are, what they are for, and what problems you are having. Any kind of medicine can have side effects and their may be an alternative to the drops you are using. I would visit with your doctor and reevaluate the options you may have that would work better for you. You can also discuss with them the possible side effects you may be having. READ MORE

  • What is the reason for double vision following an accident?

    Without a great deal more information and a full eye exam it would be difficult to tell what the problem may be. However head trauma can cause several things that could induce double vision. Brain injury, injury to the bones in the skull around the eye, or damage to nerves or muscles around the eye. Internal eye injuries could also contribute. I would recommend that he be evaluated by an ophthalmologist . READ MORE
