hi,
i'm in my late 20s and i have a couple of eye conditions, and i'm not sure if they were related or not. i already had my eyes examed three times by three different physicians, and in three different institutions, and any proffessional advise is seriously appresiated.
my eyes burn and produce tears and it gets worse by wind or dust or both. my eyes produce eye crust, and when i wake up i find it produced usually in moderate quantities but sometimes one or both of my eyes get closed by big quantities of it. and it is sometimes sticky and sometimes gritty. i feel a slight pressure in my left eye's down-left corner with a slight pain when move my eyes towards it. when i focus on something for more than 5 minutes my eyes start to burn and produce tears, which is a real annoyance when i'm reading. when i focus in a bright light -like day light-, i see tiny thins moving as if they were swimming fishes, also i see some transparent lumps that look like folded guts or flexible tiny pipes, and one of these lumps makes a dark dot in my left eye, i see also groups of transparent spots that look like cells under a microscope -a transparent circle with a dark dot at it's center-. that would be all.
now i have bean diagnosed with pernicious anemia two years ago and i'm still undergoing treatment, with b vitamins specially b12 and folic acid, in addition to iron caps. since i started the anemia medication the eye burning started to get better but is still there. i have had an iron panel and my ferritin is 166, which indicates some sort of an infection as i've red in many texts.
i had stool analysis, urin analysis, liver/kydney function tests, and some other lab tests, non have shown any thing. i had orchadexoline eye drops prescribed in every time i went to have my eyes examed, with varying artificial tear drops from physician to physician. i used the orchadexoline drops as prescribed by each physician, with no apparent results. i'm not sure what kind of infection i may have, but i heard that tapeworms could cause eye problems, could it be that? i have an inflamation in my stomach which might suggest an H. pylori infection, but i'm still not sure, and i will post a question conserning that in the respective section.
i hope that my describtion is enouph enformative, and i hope for a solution for my condition(s).
thanks
