Brief Answer:
Possible retinal detachment

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concern. It sounds like a detachment or tear to the retina, the visual nerve layer on the back of the eye. If such is the case it is considered an emergency as it may lead to blindness.

So I'd recommend you see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Wishing you good health and all the best.

Brief Answer:
May be related to sun exposure

Detailed Answer:
I am glad there was nothing serious. It is possible to have been related to prolonged sun exposure or the drugs.

As for the vitamin your mother gave you, there is no chance it may have caused the vision nuisance.

I hope this answers your questions. Wishing you good health and all the best.

Brief Answer:
Please see below

Detailed Answer:
I'm afraid I am not sure as to what exactly your question is.
If you are afraid of an infection you might have caught taking the vitamin out of your mother's hand, I do not think you need to worry.

As for the pictures, I see nothing of concern in them, or maybe I am missing something that you may have forgotten to mention. Please re formulate your question so I may be able to help.

Wishing you good health and all the best

Brief Answer:
Highly unlikely

Highly unlikely to be related to something that happened such a long time ago.
For peace of mind, I recommend you do a basic check up, blood and urine tests.

Answered by Dr. Ornela Ademovi (5 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Not the same thing

Detailed Answer:
Urine and blood tests are not the same thing and they show different things, hence, most often, they are routinely done together.

I think I had them done they were both ok I don't recall though

Answered by Dr. Ornela Ademovi (1 minute later)

Brief Answer:
Please see below

Detailed Answer:
Then I do not think there is anything to worry about, except your highs. They are not a natural state for your mind and body, hence harmful. Depending on the substance, the consequences to your health can be way more worrying that taking a vitamin from your mother's hand.

All the best.
