I thought I’d seen it all… then I saw someone open eyedrops with their teeth 😭💔
sharing it like it’s lip gloss??
No please. Learn the right way #eyedrop #properuseofeyemedications

I saw a baby with a white glow in the eye.
The mother thought the baby was too small for an eye exam.
We even examine premature babies.
No baby is too small. Check early. 👁️

Photochromic vs Anti-reflective glasses 👓
They are NOT the same — and choosing the wrong one can affect your comfort and vision.#glasses #photochromic #antireflective

Merry Christmas lovelies 🎄✨
Recently, I treated a patient with a serious eye injury from a knockout game.
Please celebrate safely—avoid knockout games and be cautious with fireworks.
Wishing you all a joyful and safe Christmas 👁️ #DettyDecember #knockout #FIREWORK #Eyecare

I need answers
Why do so many of my patients take yeast , paracetamol and vitamin c for their eye problems?
Who started this prescription?
Is it a local belief or just a habit ?
Any insights?#yeast #ophthalmologist

Tears aren’t just for crying . They keep the most sensitive part of our body (the cornea) healthy and comfortable. Patients often complain that their eyes are burning , peppery or has a foreign body sensation when the eyes are dry .#healthyeyes #TASTE #sight

"I met a patient with a quiet swelling in the neck—one that had lingered for years . Slowly, the eyes began to bulge, vision became doubled,and then… darkness took one eye completely.
Neck swellings and bulging eyes may seem benign at first, but they must never be ignored."

[EnitheEyeSurgeon @enitheeyedoctor]

I remember one of my patients who, unfortunately, didn't understand how precious and sensitive the eyes are . He put alcohol in his eyes, thinking it wouldn't harm him. Sadly, it caused so much damage that the eye could not be saved and had to be removed surgically.#healthyeyes

It’s a truly beautiful gift—imagine giving someone the ability to see the world again. The gift of sight can transform a person’s life in ways that words can hardly capture.
#corneal-transplant# organ donation

[EnitheEyeSurgeon @enitheeyedoctor]

A transplant has the power to save or significantly improve a person’s life .
Organs that can be donated include kidneys,heart, lungs , liver and even the stomach .
Additionally and interestingly ,the eye tissue can also be donated

[EnitheEyeSurgeon @enitheeyedoctor]

Unlike organs , the eye tissue can be retrieved up to 6 hours after death , sometimes longer, regardless of where the donor passed away and it can be stored for a period of time before transplantation

Despite this, the mother had been rinsing her eyes with saltwater and only sought medical attention when her vision began to deteriorate.

Excessive eye discharge is not considered normal.#healthyeyes

[EnitheEyeSurgeon @enitheeyedoctor]

Recognizing the right time to seek help is crucial.
A mother brought her daughter to the clinic after the young girl had been waking up with her eyelids stuck together and a yellowish discharge around her eyes.

[EnitheEyeSurgeon @enitheeyedoctor]

The cornea ( clear part of eyes ) can also get a tattoo.
This helps cover eye defects and scars and gives the individual their confidence and smile back. #cosmetic #TattooColour #ophthalmology #corneal tattoo

@x252654 You are welcome

[EnitheEyeSurgeon @enitheeyedoctor]

Over the last couple of days , I have seen a lot of patients with foreign bodies in their eyes.
It is important to protect your eyes this harmattan season especially when on bikes so that stuff does not enter your eyes

[EnitheEyeSurgeon @enitheeyedoctor]

@seunosewa You are welcome

@DrHayzed @SimbiTj Not a traditional center.
They even do public advertisements .
Can you imagine?

[EnitheEyeSurgeon @enitheeyedoctor]

I have to say this to raise awareness because it is so sad what some fertility centers are doing to women .
A woman walks into my clinic , supported by her spouse as she was blind in both eyes.
She said she was 4 months pregnant.
Her blood pressure was off the roof !!!!

[EnitheEyeSurgeon @enitheeyedoctor]

@_buukhiie I totally agree !!!
