Brain Tumors/redness of eye

Expert: - 10/17/2008


Question
My dad's eye is red and is hurting him, he also feels pressure on his eye. He went to the eye doctor and they said that there is a possibility that because the eye is red and sore there is a brain tumor causing the eye to have these problems. Do you think this is true?

Answer
Well if indeed an eye dr. has said that there must be some reason for that opinion. I can think of other more common and less dangerous reasons why he has this problem. But I have not seen him or examined him! You should talk to his eye dr.!
If his dr. is correct he should also be swiftly examined with other methods (CT scans & MRI scans of his head)!
