VI- 32 – Bulbar Conjunctival Cystic Edema: From our 931 patients with some migraine, we collected
two women and one man with bulbar Conjunctival Cystic Edema without any hyperemia or inflammatory
sign.
All three patients drank too much water daily.
Two of them drank 4 liters (more than a gallon) each one. They were:
- One woman with 65-year-old with mild Optic Nerve’s borders edema.
- One man with 63-year-old who complained about tearful and rhinitis.
- The other woman, with 36 year-old, drank 3 liters (a little less than a gallon) of water daily. She complained
of itching eyes. This woman had Advanced Glaucoma in both eyes, with intraocular pressures
of 22 and 23 mmHg right and left eyes.
We did not find any other etiology to these three patients with Bulbar Conjunctival Cystic Edemas.
These cystic edemas, between the sclera and the conjunctiva over it, can last days or months to reduce.
The etiology to all three patients with bulbar Conjunctival Cystic Edemas was excessive water
drinks, with an average of 3.7 liters daily, associated with eye itching and rubbing.
- Curing infantile headaches and bulbar conjunctival cystic edema caused by caffeine and excessive
water: We had a 5-year-old girl with around 15 Kilograms (33 pounds) of weight, who drank
more than 1,000 milliliter of water and caffeinated soft drinks daily, and presented chronic diffuse
headaches and itching eyes. She presented a bulbar conjunctival cystic edema at the right eye. Stopping
the excessive drinks, she cured after only one week.
- Curing conjunctival cystic edema with five etiologies (in bold): Another patient was a woman with
51-year-old, 63 kg of weight, with five years of occasional use of beta-blocker eye drops. She was medicating
for half dozen alternative headaches she presented. She worsens her aches drinking wine, excessive
coffee and beer. Her intraocular pressures presented variation from 20 to 12 mmHg. Once felt
urinate itching without infection, and her Urologist physician prescribed her to drink “much water
daily”, and she began to drink 2,600 milliliter (more than half gallon) of water each day. After two
weeks, she felt itching eyes, rubbed her eyes and presented abruptly with bulbar conjunctival cystic
edema at her right eye, with mild hyperemia. This is a typical Fluid Hypertension Syndrome, with
many signs and symptoms, caused by drinking wine, coffee, beer and excessive water daily, aggravated
by the fingers rubbing her eyes.
We conclude that bulbar Conjunctival Cystic Edema is a sign of Ocular or Cerebrospinal Fluids
Hypertension Syndromes, consequent to excessive water drinks and rubbing the eyes.
VI- 33 – Transient Reduction of visual acuity: Some patients presented occasional small reduction of
visual acuity, of about one or two lines of Snellen’s chart, or a relative central scotoma. This made imprecise
the ocular refraction during the intraocular or Cerebrospinal fluid pressure rise. This transient
visual acuity disturbance lasts for minutes or hours. We observed that their visual acuity normalizes
after lowering the fluids’ pressures. In consequence, even when the patient is not feeling anything, we
try to normalize his intraocular and Cerebrospinal fluids’ pressures before the refraction examination to
prescribe his correct glasses.
This is a mild Visual Darkening, or Transient Blindness, or Amaurosis Fugax, or Retinal Migraine or
Transient Hemianopsia, above presented at the item IV-19.
We did not made statistics about this transient reduction of visual acuity, although it is very common.
