livram Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I am 76 and have been having a problem with my left eye-soreness, redness, mucus, blurry vision, etc. I first went to BH and eye doctor prescribed antibiotic eye drops. Used as directed but no change. Next, tried doctor at St M and he said hair from lower eyelid rubbing eye and I need to see their plastic surgeon for operation. Meanwhile he prescribed wetting drops but they were no help.. 10 years ago I had the eyelid operation at BH by same doctor who now says infection. I am confused how 2 different doctors can diagnose so differently. So I want to see a 3rd doctor for another opinion. Please advise of a competent eye doctor in Korat or surrounding area.

IvorBiggun2 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) St Mary's Hospital. Doctor was A okay when I saw him regarding cataracts. But there again they may have more than one eye doctor. Edited December 29, 2021 by IvorBiggun2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Given how long this has apparently gone on, I suggest you consider a trip to Bangkok and consultation at Rutnin Eye Hospital with this doctor: https://www.rutnin.com/en/doctor/detail.11.1_Search by name_14_0.html#thumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livram Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Thanks for the suggestions. The second doctor I saw was he St Mary's cataract doctor and he referred me to their plastic surgeon. Also I know Rutin is a world class eye clinic but going to Bangkok will be a last resort. UPDATE: Tuesday evening a place a 4cm piece of surgical tape just under my eyelid. This has the effect of slightly pulling the eyelid down and away from the eye. Wednesday morning: Good night sleep and all redness, mucus pain completely gone. Thursday morning: Still no redness or mucus. I don't notice the tape and it is barely visible. I plan to leave it on for about a week to insure swelling gone. I could not understand why two eye doctors could have completely different diagnoses. I think that maybe both were correct. First doctor saw infection then three weeks later possibly the infection caused swelling and eyelash to rub against eye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Yes it is quite possible that irritation from eyelash led to inflammation smd then an infection occurred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
