Why am I not able to see colors and lights as bright as before?
Hi doctor,
A couple of weeks back, I had this episode where the muscles around my eyes tensed up, and I felt a lot of pain and pressure around my eyebrows and nose. I had pain around the outer corner of my eyes, and it felt like a nerve being stretched. My vision dimmed a lot but recovered a little bit. I went to see two doctors. They said it was digital eye strain and that it should be fine. My eye pressure was around 18. Over the past two to three weeks, my screen time is two hours a day maximum, and I am not doing anything that strains my eyes, like reading. I still cannot see colors and lights as bright as before. Things feel more 'white' than before. My eyes pain from time to time. I had a lot of anxiety and stress in the weeks before that episode. I thought it could be due to that. The trips to the doctor helped reassure me that nothing was wrong and that these vision problems would eventually pass. I thought I was overthinking. But I am still having these problems, and I do not know what to do anymore. I have floaters but have had them for a long time now. I am nearsighted. My age is 28. My symptoms are consistent, and they do not come and go. Any help would be appreciated. I am hesitant to make a direct appointment because of the pandemic.

I have a gray splotch in the center of vision in my right eye. Is this an emergency?
Hello doctor,
I see a leaf shape gray splotch in the center of my vision on my right eye. When I look with both eyes, it goes away, but when I cover my left eye, I see it. It started last night. Is this an emergency? I am a diabetic and I take insulin Novolin 70/30 twice daily.

I have pulsating pain in my forehead while wearing my glasses. What could be the cause?
Hi doctor,
I am a 19-years-old male. Four months back, I got my new eye prescription. The eye power for my right eye is 5.5, and the left eye is 3.5. For the past ten days, I am feeling pain in my forehead wearing my glasses. I went to my eye doctor and had my eye test done again. The doctor thoroughly checked my eyes with all instruments and said that my eyes have no problem, but my right eye is weak. So he prescribed me Vitamin E tablets and said that my old prescription is correct, and there is no change in prescription. Now it has been ten days. I feel so much pain when I wear my glasses, discomfort in my right eye, and pain in my eye and head. I cannot wear my glasses for even a minute; when I wear my glasses, I feel like my head's blood circulation is stopped, and my head starts freezing. Now the pain is radiating to the jaws also.

What causes eyelid twitching with floaters?
Hi doctor,
I have been facing issues with my eyes and eyesight lately. In my left eye the lower eyelid twitches whenever I touch it or do some face movement. In my right eye I am facing pressure pain and seeing some new floaters. I feel like I am unable to focus my right eye, it is a very weird feeling. I do not understand what is happening. Is this something serious? I cannot even go to a doctor to get an eye checkup due to lockdown. Please guide me.

Hi doctor,
I have type 1 diabetes. My eyes got poked on the right side of my iris and it is little red there is no blood. However, the right side of my sclera has red veins and it is causing a blurry vision and a little discomfort in my eyes. I tried rinsing water in my eyes many times but that did not help. My eyes also feel a little dry. I am wondering is there a certain eye drop I can use to treat my eyes? I am on Humalog Lantus.
