Usman Mahmood's Expert Contributions
  • What is enlarged optic nerve in children?

    This could either be serious or it could mean that the swelling is not real, but what’s called pseudo. He needs further investigations, which would include OCTs of his optic nerves and possibly neuro-imaging. READ MORE

  • What should I be doing for eye injury?

    The worrying symptom here is pain on moving the eye. Do you also see double in certain positions of gaze of both eyes are open? If the pain doesn’t settle quickly or indeed gets worse and if you see double at all with both eyes open then you definitely need to be seen rather quickly because it could mean you have an orbital fracture.

  • Will I need a retina surgery consultation?

    Hi, I don’t think the information you’ve provided is enough to determine the cause of your reduced vision. It might be a retinal issue or might be a different issue all together. But a temporary blurring lasting for a few minutes first thing on waking only doesn’t sound like a serious issue. READ MORE

  • Why are my son's eyes always red?

    There are all kinds of reasons for red eyes. Allergic eye disease can be present in the absence of other allergic symptoms, but chronic conjunctivitis has several causes. READ MORE

  • I have a sharp pain in my eye because I accidentally slept with my contact lenses. What should I do?

    You should immediately see an ophthalmologist. This could (not necessarily but I wouldn’t risk it) indicate an early microbial keratitis i.e. bacterial infection which can be pretty serious unless treated early. The most common cause of bacterial corneal infections is excessively prolonged use of contact lenses. READ MORE

  • My daughter is 3 years old and currently has swelling in her left eye. Is this a sty?

    It would be best to see a doctor because children occasionally develop presepal cellulitis after a cold. A presentable cellulitis usually requires antibiotics. However if it’s localised then it might just be a chalazion which doesn’t usually require intervention especially when it involves the lower lid only. But considering the history I wouldn’t be too keen to make a diagnosis of chalazion without seeing the child. READ MORE

  • My eye looks different because of my astigmatism. Anything I can do?

    Hi! Astigmatism can be due to several causes. Whether it will progress or not depends on the cause of the astigmatism. Have you had a corneal topography? That will help exclude corneal ectasias such as keratoconus which can indeed lead to progressively worsening astigmatism. Depending on the cause there can be several treatment options. Cross linking would be the first choice for keratoconus. However for astigmatism without any ectasia the first choice would be a suitable contact lens trial. There are surgical options as well but most patients will benefit from contact lenses although refractive surgical options can also be appropriate for some patients. READ MORE
