Dr. Seth David Potash M.D.'s Expert Contributions
  • Can i be affected with two types of cataract in the same eye?

    Once a cataract is removed, it cannot come back. What you have is called a "secondary membrane" and it is treatable with a minor office laser procedure. READ MORE

  • Is stopping restasis considered to be dangerous?

    It is not dangerous to stop Restasis but you should check with your eye care provider. READ MORE

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

    Its related to an internal injury to one of the cranial nerves from the brain that innervates the eye muscles. He should get it checked out as the double vision is frequently correctable by putting a prism in a pair of eyeglasses. READ MORE

  • Can eyesight ever get better on its own?

    Most likely, you have become increasingly near-sighted, or myopic, over the years. This happens frequently during school years- high school and college and there has been some implication that it may be related to long hours of reading. It is possible that your myopia may start to improve, but it is unlikely to happen until you are in your late forties or early fifties. The good news is that being nearsighted has an advantage as well. Most people start to require reading glasses in their early forties. Being myopic, you will not. In fact, I am myopic, 55 years old and still do not wear reading glasses. I wouldn't trade that for anything! READ MORE

  • Anything to watch out for when using glaucoma eye drops?

    There are no food or activity restrictions while using Lumigan. Some of the more common side effects that can occur with that particular medication include, redness, foreign body sensation, stinging, increased pigment around the eyelids, darkening of the iris (colored part of the eye) and increase in the growth of your eyelashes. Hope this helps. Good luck READ MORE

  • Why are my eyes so sensitive to light?

    There is most likely nothing wrong with your eyes. Some people are sensitive to sunlight and this precipitates tearing. This is especially true if you have light colored eyes. A good quality pair of sunglasses may not only help with the tearing, but will also block harmful ultraviolet rays that could be damaging. This is not an allergy. If you haven't had a comprehensive eye exam in the recent past, it is probably a good idea to do so. READ MORE
