Our lenses are normally clear as glass when we're young, allowing us to see through them. Cataracts are foggy areas on the lens resulting in impaired, foggy vision.
Impaired vision, blurred vision and a halo around lights
Cataract surgery is the only treatment option.
Cataract surgery is not painful. While patients are awake during surgery, there is little to no discomfort involved.
The lens you and your surgeon choose to implant during cataract surgery has a significant impact on your post-surgery need for glasses.
Most people can return to their routine and work in 1 to 3 days.
Excimer Laser Surgery
They are most frequently used to correct near-sightedness (myopia), although they can also be used to correct hyperopia (far-sightedness) and astigmatism. The excimer laser changes the eye's refractive state by eliminating tissue from the anterior cornea through a process called photo-ablative decomposition.
The effects of laser eye surgery last forever, permanently altering the shape of your eyes to enable them to focus light correctly.
Myopia, Hypermetropia, Astigmatism
All refractive errors have the same fundamental problem: the image of the object we wish to see cannot be focused on the retina.
The most common types of refractive disorders include: Myopia (near-sightedness) Hyperopia (far-sightedness) Astigmatism.
Blurred vision double vision, haziness glare or halos around bright lights squinting headaches or eye strain.
Treatment of refractive errors can be accomplished using prescription glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery procedures with excimer laser.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular oedema, cataracts and glaucoma are among these conditions. Diabetes can gradually damage your eyes, resulting in blurred vision or even blindness.
*Come in for a dilated eye exam at least once a year *Manage your blood sugar *Control your blood pressure and be mindful of your cholesterol consumption *Eat healthily and exercise regularly * Seek help in the early stages.
If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you may be at greater risk for developing diabetic eye diseases.
Early signs of the condition can be picked up by taking photographs of the eyes during diabetic eye screening.
For many diabetes-related eye issues, laser therapy or intraocular medication injections may be sufficient. Surgical treatment may be necessary for more severe or serious eye disorders.
Macular Degeneration
Retinal degeneration is a retinopathy characterized by the progressive deterioration of the retina due to the death of retinal cells. It is also referred as age-related macular degeneration, or AMD for short.
There is no cure. However, treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) may help reduce the progression of the illness and avoid severe visual loss.
*Quit smoking *Eat leafy greens *Take supplements *Wear sunglasses *Maintain a healthy blood pressure and weight *Your eye should be checked by an ophthalmologist at regular intervals, if required, intraocular injection treatment is recommended.
