I'm so sorry you're having these problems! There's a special subreddit where you can get good answers to questions like this: $1

​

Here's the details about this subreddit from that group's sticky post:


## Sticky: So You Have an Eye Problem

​

This subreddit was created by ophthalmologists and optometrists due to a flood of patient questions in other related subreddits about their own ocular health. Ideally, we will have professional eye care providers volunteering their time freely to **assist** those with the most concerning-sounding symptoms or histories. However...

**Online advice will never replace an in-person medical exam, ESPECIALLY for ocular concerns**. Symptom description is often too vague and physical exam findings are extraordinarily specific, and too microscopic for you to see or even usually for you to take a good picture of yourself. Also, our advice **is not and can not be construed as true medical advice, given that there is no physical exam or real way for us to follow up/through on your problem. This subreddit's purpose is NOT to provide direction, advisement or recommendations for your problems**. In a legal sense, that is impossible. But there is a high demand for help, and we will do what we can.

At the current time, we will still welcome layman questions about general eye topics in other subreddits such as $1. However, if your question is in regards to your own eye problem, it will be redirected here.

Please understand that given the high legal liability of telling someone "Eh, you're probably fine, don't worry about it," that even the most innocuous-sounding complaint may not receive a satisfactory answer.

**Physicians and optometrists:** we welcome and are grateful for the volunteering of your time here. Back in $1, if you would like to be recognized for your volunteer efforts in $1, please send me a PM and we will first check to verify your volunteer activity on this subreddit, then discuss it from there.

Best,

arcades
