I am very much in distress what to do. We show him to Dr. who operated him but he is saying everything is fine. please help me.
ANSWER: Dear Aman,
Thank you for your query. You will need to show your father immediately to an eye doctor to make sure that it is not something to do with a retinal problem or an issue which may need immediate intervention.
I can only urge you to see an eye doctor soon as possible this requires urgent attention. You can let me know what the doctor diagnoses for further guidance.
If in Mumbai we would be very happy to assist.
Thank you,

The doctor was also got disturb after see this all. He checked him throughly and also taken a ultra sound for his eye in which he obeserved that a blood claut was seen under the eye, there swelling was also found, and doctor is unable to see internal parts of the eye and ratine. He also checked him with 3 mirror and with all latest instruments and machines available with him. I exactly not know the name of that machines. now he has given some eye drops and tablet of 60 mg of wegsolane for reducing the swelling in internal part of the eye so that she can be able to see inside the eye.
dr. was also describe us that due to that swelling their is no visin in the eye and she also call us after three days for rechecking.
should be go for a second opion in this matter or the treatment given by the dr. is sufficient.
kindly guide us.
Answer Dear Aman,
You can wait for 3 days and revert back to the senior doctor. It does take some time for the blood (haemorrhage) to settle.
What you can do on the next visit, is ask for the exact diagnosis (medical) or a report of the same.
This will enable us to guide you better.
Meanwhile, ask your father not to worry and rest, not move his head vigorously, avoid bumps and jerks.
The tablets may be Wysolone which are steroids, they help inflammation. Make sure that he takes them after meals or he may need antacids if he gets acidity due to them.
Hope this helps,
