Is OCT scan reliable in detecting pseudo-papilledema?
Hello doctor,
I did an OCT scan for the first time last week, but it appears that the sup / nas is slightly diluted. Well, I was born with an optic nerve abnormality they call it pseudo-papilledema. I was born with high hyperopia en strabismus (high hyperopia may be associated with blurring of the optic disk margin) thats it. My question is, is it possible that this dilution is fake? Or is it possible that the OCT is not working properly in my eyes?

Does the spherical power in a child's glasses fluctuate?
Hello doctor,
Please find the eye report of my 4-year-old son. He is not getting much issues in walking, in long-distance reading and in anything, but in the eye test report he got -4 and -2.5 spherical numbers in the eyes. Is it a very serious number? I am very tensed as I thought - 4 is a very big number for a child? Will the number increase if he wears glasses constantly? How this much number came as we did his eye checkup at the time of birth as well as at the age of 2. Please assist as we are very tensed for his glasses and number.

Is lifelong Kenacort injection necessary for uveitis?
Hello doctor,
I am suffering from a disease called uveitis and I visit a doctor every six to seven months for injecting Kenacort 40 mg on each eye when needed or when the inflammation starts again. I want to know that when this procedure is gonna end? Or will I have to go for injections for my entire life? I want to know that if I travel to some countries the vision loss occurs sometimes or the effect of injection comes to an end. Can this injection be injected anywhere around the world? Please guide what would be the procedure for that? I am currently taking Deltacortril and Cellcept.
