What causes haze and rainbow appearance around light?
Hello doctor,
I am 24-year-old male, and for about two years, I experience seeing haze or glare and rainbow around light sources. It all began in about two years ago, and it gradually gets bigger over time. The intensity of those symptoms does not fluctuate. It is the same throughout the whole day and is constant. I do not experience any eye pain. I have been to the ophthalmologist, and I had a lot of eye exams, everything is fine with my cornea. I do not have any dystrophies or keratoconus. My eye pressure is also normal 16 and 19 mm Hg, and everything is fine with my retina. So could you suggest what it could be? My ophthalmologist thinks that it may be glaucoma, but I am not sure about that, because symptoms are constant (they gradually gets more intensive over months, but throughout days or weeks it is the same).

Advice for 9-year-old with red eye and pupil issues?
Hello doctor,
My son is 9 years old. He got his first prescription glasses two years ago, and it was 1.00 and 1.25. Since he started to wear glasses, he had red eyes, tearing, and after some times pupil goes side to side out of control. Then we were referred to an ophthalmologist. He said my son's shape is a little different than an average person. Then I stopped him from wearing glasses until the last year. He got his prescription glasses before three months. It was for long distance of 1.25 and 1.50. Now it dropped to 2.25 and 2.50 in four months. And he started to face the same problems. What can be the problem? Please help.

What are the possible causes for getting eye floaters?
Hello doctor,
I have a history of allergies and medical issues (rhinitis, bronchial asthma, sacroiliitis, viral keratitis post lasik, iron deficiency anemia, and panniculitis). I have had high IgE levels of nearly 800 kU/L for the last ten to fifteen years without any rise in specific allergen. I am taking tablet Hetrazan 100 twice daily as 21 days course. Today is the fourteenth day of the medication. I felt floaters for the last one week and consulted an eye specialist (attached the prescription). Would you please let me know the following.Is it something to be concerned about? Is it medicine induced, or am I having any problem in the retina (sealed retinal holes before lasik in the eyes)? Can I continue Absolut 3G multivitamin instead of capsule Carovit forte? Is Nepafenac a safe medicine, or does it cause any side effects? Kindly help.
