I’m so stunned by the amazing effect of the newly FDA approved eye drops (Upneeq) for droopy eyelid. This is my first use in a patient with Myasthenia Graves. Before and after picture (15 min after the application)

How can coronavirus affect your eyes? Coronavirus can spread through the eyesjust as it does through the mouth or nose. When someone who has coronavirus coughs, sneezes, or talks, virus particles can spray from their mouth or nose onto your face. You are likely to breathe these tiny droplets in through your mouth or nose. But the droplets can also enter your body through your eyes. You can also become infected by touching your eyes after touching something that has the virus... on it. It might be possible for coronavirus to cause a pink eye infection (conjunctivitis), but this is rare. If you have pink eye, don’t panic. Simply call your ophthalmologist to let them know and follow their instructions for care. Keep in mind that whether pink eye is caused by a virus or bacteria, it can spread if someone touches that sticky or runny discharge from the eyes, or touches objects contaminated by the discharge. Wash your hands and use hand sanitizer often. Do not share towels, cups or utensils with others. AAO See more

How to Wear a Face Mask Without Fogging Your Glasses: Fit your mask to your face. If your mask doesn’t fit your face well, warm air is likely to escape and fog up your lenses. When putting on your mask, make sure to pinch the top of the mask to fit the shape of your nose. If your mask allows it, tighten the side as well for a good fit. Use medical or athletic tape to close the gap between the bridge of your nose and the top of your mask. If you don’t have tape, try an adhesiv...e bandage. Wipe your lenses before wearing them An anti-fogging solution or even gently washing your lenses with soap and water before wearing them may help. This will keep water droplets from building up and fogging your lenses. Adjust your glasses Pushing your glasses forward on your nose will allow more air to circulate and keep your breath from fogging up your vision. Rest your glasses over your face mask Try pulling your mask up over your nose and rest your glasses on top of it. This will block the air from escaping and prevent fogging. If you try this, make sure your mask still fits properly over your face. Your nose and mouth should be completely covered. (advise from AAO)

so thankful to god for having a chance to help a young lovely patient

Coronavirus may cause pink eye but it’s rare If you see someone with pink eye, don’t panic. It doesn’t mean that person is infected with coronavirus. But health officials believe viral pink eye, or conjunctivitis, develops in about 1% to 3% of people with coronavirus. The virus can spread by touching discharge from an infected person’s eyes.

If you are going to see your ophthalmologist during the corona pandemic, here's what you might expect: The clinic may ask you to wait outside, or in your car, instead of in the normal waiting room. This is to protect you, the other patients and the office staff from germs that could circulate in crowded lobby areas. Don't be surprised if non-emergency surgeries and procedures are postponed. If coronavirus is present in your community, even minor eye procedures could expose yo...u or your doctor to the virus. Also, doctors will need to save the surgical supplies, including masks and face shields, for emergency situations. Your ophthalmologist may also wear a mask with a plastic shield over their eyes. Your physician may wait until after your slit-lamp eye exam to talk with you or answer questions. AAO See more

CDC offers general guidelines for preventing the spread of coronavirus and protecting your health: Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. You should especially wash your hands before eating, after using the restroom, sneezing, coughing or blowing your nose. If you can’t get to a sink, use a hand sanitizer that has at least 60% alcohol. Avoid touching your face particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth.... If you cough or sneeze, cover your face with your elbow or a tissue. If you use a tissue, throw it away promptly. Then go wash your hands. Avoid close contact with sick people. If you think someone has a respiratory infection, it’s safest to stay 6 feet away. Stay home when you are sick. Regularly disinfect commonly touched surfaces and items in your house, such as doorknobs and counter tops. See more

Elmiron--Common Bladder Medication may cause Vision-threatening Eye Condition A drug widely prescribed for a bladder condition for decades, now appears to be toxic to the retina, the light sensing tissue at the back of the eye that allows us to see. The medication toxicity could masquerade as other known retinal conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration or pattern dystrophy. Interstitial cystitis causes chronic pain in the bladder and pelvis area. More than 1 million people in the United States, mostly women, are estimated to have the condition. Elmiron is the only FDA-approved pill to treat it. As a mainstay of treatment for decades, hundreds of thousands of people have likely been exposed to the drug. AAO
