PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: iPhone 14 image of street artist in Yangon, Myanmar. 

Handheld smartphone images can be good, but you must have steady hands and focus on the eye, if possible.

Good lighting will be better for such images. This image was taken in the evening. 

The face of the man is not as sharp as I like it to be.

Very rare for a tourist like me to find a roadside lemon tree by itself for photography.The trees are not commonly seen as ornamental plants in Western Australia. Probably hard to grow the tree. This tree has white fungal spots on leaves.

Use AV Mode, f/11, ISO 400, AUTO shutter speed. 

Focus on “Canon” text on wall to the left of photo. Image is sharp from front to back.

 

17.9.2024. I sent my Canon R5 for repairs as the shutter had malfunctioned. One of the shutter bars had fallen sideways, so I see a diagonal bar of 8mm broad in my image. My camera had reached its maximal clicks, hence the shutter now needed replacement, costing S450.  

This image is produced after replacement of shutter and repair of "out of focus" focusing. It looks sharp as I could focus on the "Canon" text in the office wall.

4624. Hyphema in a cat in Myanmar. Tele-consultation by Dr Sing Kong Yuen

 Hyphema in a cat in Myanmar. Tele-consultation by Dr Sing Kong Yuen

1.  Hyphema (Bleeding Within the Eyeball)  Causes include uveitis, traumatic injury, a tumor within the eye, detachment or tearing of the retina, high blood pressure, clotting disorders, birth defects, and glaucoma. Sudden, severe bleeding usually has a good outcome if the cause is identified and treated.

 

2. How do you treat hyphema in cats?

Topical corticosteroids as an ointment or eye drops will be prescribed to the cat. Corticosteroids will reduce the inflammation in the anterior chamber and around the eye. The cat will also be prescribed atropine eye drops, which dilate the pupil.

3.Does hyphema go away on its own?

Hyphema usually resolves on its own in a few days. Even if you only need conservative treatment, the first five days after you develop hyphema are the most important. You'll be at a higher risk of re-aggravating your eye, which can cause the bleeding to start again.

4. What are 3 causes of hyphema?

Blunt eye trauma is the most common cause of hyphema, although penetrating trauma and spontaneous hyphemas can occur as well. Certain medical conditions put patients at risk of developing a hyphema, such as leukemia, hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, sickle cell disease, and the use of anticoagulant medications.

 

5. Can hyphema cause blindness in cats?

Sudden, severe bleeding usually has a good outcome if the cause is identified and treated. Recurrent or longterm hyphema has an unknown or poor outlook because glaucoma or blindness is likely.

6.  What are the stages of hyphema?

The following is the clinical grading system for traumatic macrohyphemas:

• Grade 1 - Layered blood occupying less than one third of the anterior chamber.
  Grade 2 - Layered blood filling one third to one half of the anterior chamber.
  Grade 3 - Layered blood filling one half to less than the total of the anterior chamber.

7. When should I worry about my cats eye?

Your cat's eyes, when healthy, should look clear and bright. However, if you notice anything unusual about them, such as goopy discharge or discolouration, it may be a good idea to bring them to the vet.

 
*Above is from the internet.
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=hyphema+in+cats

 The writer has not mentioned

1. wearing an e-Collar to prevent scratching of the eye.
2. keep cat in a dark area, away from outdoors and sunlight.
3. no corticosteroids if eye ulcer is present.
4. tarsorrhaphy or 3rd eyelid flap by a vet.

In conclusion, it is best to consult your vet as no two cases are alike and treatment advice from the internet cannot be relied upon.
