Ophthalmologist Aigul Otkhozoria said that complaints resembling cataracts are sometimes linked to the optic nerve or the brain. In such cases, a routine fundus examination may not reveal the problem, and the patient needs an MRI and a consultation with a neurologist. The doctor also listed the signs under which one should not wait for a scheduled appointment.
Otabek YusupovOphthalmologist Tatyana Shilova told Gazeta.Ru that a lens cannot get behind the eyeball, why its displacement under the eyelid is dangerous, and how to act correctly — and what must not be done.
Aziz KarimovOphthalmologist Ilya Kustov told Gazeta.Ru that slaked lime, herbicides or fertilizers getting into the eye cause a dangerous alkali burn. Alkali dissolves cell membranes and penetrates deep, damaging the iris and lens. Rinsing the eye with clean water for at least 15–20 minutes and urgent hospitalization can save the eye.
