CLUE: If the elderly or middle aged group patients complain about this problem, we have to take them seriously and put them up for various ophthalmological tests, it is rather common for short-sighted young individuals though...

Your nose plays a part. The hairs in the nose already can keep some microbes out. Even if the microbes get past, there is still the mucus in the mucous membrane. The mucous membrane will keep most the microbes out.Originally posted by renorenal:Yeah, but you don have the tonsils anymore liau mar after operation... so won't u get infected easily? I think I talked about this several weeks ago... -

[b]SPECIAL MYSTERY QUESTION
If you are wearing specs for short-sightedness, you would note that (not all of you, but some of you) there are small little transparent worm like body in your eye if you stare long enough in a bright area and then stare at a dark place...
Do you know why this happens? [/b] -
Hahaha... go find out the right word...Originally posted by alexkusu:i knw its not called dust i say its macam dust in ur eyes -
Noperz!!Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Changes in surroundings. -
Smaller than that? Wear an astronomer suit lor, nothing can get in. Problem solved.Originally posted by renorenal:Just told you that the microbes are way smaller than that marz... -
Hehehehehe... give up?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Smaller than that? Wear an astronomer suit lor, nothing can get in. Problem solved. -
Rays causes it. But I seriously doubt this answer.Originally posted by renorenal:Noperz!!
Could it be the longer eyeball in short-sighted people cause it? -
Yes, but what is the worm like bodies called?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Rays causes it. But I seriously doubt this answer.

Sort of. Think too much about the alcohol and fat man problem when it is just some very basic concepts about surface area to volume ratio.Originally posted by renorenal:Hehehehehe... give up?
This time post simplest answer available to solve the problem. -
Blood vessels????Originally posted by renorenal:Yes, but what is the worm like bodies called? -
Noperz...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Blood vessels???? -
Okay... we have 4 kinds of tonsils in the first place, we only removed two, leaving the lingual tonsil (located posteriorly in the tongue) and the tubal tonsil (located surrounding the opening of the Eustachean Tube into the nasal cavity)... The Waldeyer's Ring is the collection of all the tonsils altogether and form the danger circle for the microbes that plan to stir up problems for the respiratory tract...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Sort of.

Not kidding me? The nearest answer I can think of is blood vessels.Originally posted by renorenal:Noperz... -
Noperz... go find out...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Not kidding me? The nearest answer I can think of is blood vessels.

i knw the wordOriginally posted by renorenal:Hahaha... go find out the right word... maybe spelling mistake

The eye is formed during embryonic development by a combination of head ectoderm and neural tube tissue, the latter forming the retina. Thus, the retina is not a peripheral sensory organ like skin touch receptors or taste buds on the tongue, but rather it is an outgrowth of central nervous tisse. Because of this origin, the retina has layers of neurons, internal circuits, and transmitters characteristic of the brain: it is a bit of the brain that has journeyed out, literally, to have a look at the environment.Originally posted by renorenal:Noperz... go find out...

Since the eye is a bit like the brain, I think the jumping of neurons causes the worm-like thingy. -

Larger eyeballs tend to have lesser surface tension in the inner layer (retina) which leads to easy degeneration and tearing of the walls. These torn wall, which is known as floaters travels in the vitreous humor, and when light is shone towards it, the floaters are reflected in the vision as worm like materials...
