I am asking for advice on eye examination. I once heard that eye examination can provide information about the entire body - what tests should be performed. I am 44 years old and I have reactions that I do not understand and I do not know which specialist to go to (e.g. weak hair, but nails and bones ok, bloated stomach, especially after exercise - bilirubin 1.6, and morphology ok. except for blood platelets 134 thousand - hence the many veins in both eyes probably cracked). My GP said he could only treat me symptomatically and by trial and error.
An eye examination can tell you a lot about the functioning of your body, but in your case it seems advisable to perform a more detailed examination of the liver. Probably someone who advised you to examine the eye as a universal method thought about iridology - but this is not a scientific method of he alth assessment and I strongly advise you not to rely on iridology. In your case, I would advise you to perform a morphology, ESR, urinalysis, coagulogram, coagulation tests, GOT, GPT, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and ultrasound of the abdominal cavity and consult a gastroenterologist with these results.
