Can persistent Sinusitis lead to blocked vision? - Dr. Satish Babu K

Persistent sinusitis even after adequate medical treatment is a significant problem, it has to be handled at once. One has to look for the reason for persistence, like probably some anatomical defects, or some other sinister problem like a tumor, or a fungal infection more commonly seen nowadays. Fungal infection is prevalent because of the increasing incidents of Diabetes in general population. Any person with Diabetes or the suppression of the immunity, they have a chance to get more persistent sinusitis.
Persistent sinusitis in itself is a problem, when it causes additional symptoms like blocked vision, black spots in the eye, pressure symptoms, anything that is pertaining to the eye then it is much more important that we handle it at once. It only indicates that the infection or sinusitis is spread into the orbit.
If you look at the actual orbit or sinuses they are separated by a very thin bone like the thickness of a paper. So, any infection, any tumor anything like that, can easily breach this and get into the orbit. We look for complications like this especially for orbit, the chance of losing a vision permanently is always there. If you end up with any symptoms like Blocked Vision, Blackspots in the vision, pressure or pain around the orbit, anything like that, it’s better to consult the specialist once.

I've had sinus issues for over 5 years and now for the last year my vision has been smudgy. Now I'm paranoid I'll lose my vision. I've been put on antibiotics, dymista spray multiple times and even with a 1 year prescription. I even mentioned my eyes were starting to get blurry. I'm going to the clinics Monday out of paranoia. I'm going to ask them to give me surgery to remove my sinuses.

This past February I ended up having a really bad sinus infection. I’ve never had one before and in the middle of it. I woke up one morning with really bad eye floaters, mainly in the right eye. I’ve never had them before this. They were in cobweb shapes lines and they completely block my vision. I am in the process of having polyps removed and I’m hoping this will help.

[german_lifestyle_tajbakhsh]

It gave me retinal vein occlusion and German doctors couldn’t find it! Only an Iranian doctor found it

I was told i have sinusitis from an MRI. It’s been affecting my left eye for 6 months and now i’m finally going to get it treated. My eye has changed its shape as a result of this. I have blurry vision and pain and it doesn’t focus as well. Will this go away with antibiotics?

[kizzie]

I had FESS sinus surgery(Nasal polyps, concha bullosa, deviated septum). Cold and allergy is reduced but i still feel pressure behind eyes, headache and dizziness. Please suggest.

[navdeepjaswal]

Same problem Nasal Polyps in nose and left eye hurts while moving eye or even turning head up

[ABHISHEK-fktn]

Eye doctor says nothing happened to eye but i dont have sinus related issue should I visit ent dr. For my eye pain my eye hurts badly

[seaniobandarez]

Can a sinus infection linger for years or should it clear up on its own by then? My right eye ball feels like its swollen and aches almost all the time blurry vision too and a black dot in my vision that wont go away. Its driving me nuts. I've had a brain scan and been to eye doctors they cant find anything so all i can think it has to be my sinus but ive been on antibiotics. Im confused of what it can be.

[aljondejesus]
