Treatment for Eyes – From Children to Adults

May 17, 2016 0
Most adults by early to mid-40s lose their ability to focus on nearby objects commonly known as presbyopia which results in difficulty reading small print or doing other close-up tasks.  If you have presbyopia, LASIK surgery may give you clear distance vision, but it can actually worsen your ability to see objects close up. You might also rethink having LASIK surgery if you have major nearsightedness. If you are nearsighted and have been diagnosed with a high refractive error, it is very likely that the possible benefits of LASIK surgery will not give an explanation for the risks. If a person has large pupils, then the pupils are prone to opening wide in dim light, and LASIK surgery may result in incapacitating symptoms such as glare, halos, star bursts and ghost images. Also, LASIK is not advised for people who actively participate in contact sports, such as during martial arts or boxing and also for people with jobs that require precision vision.

Guide to Diabetic Retinopathy

March 20, 2016 0
It has been observed that untreated Diabetes can result in severe complications for eyes in the future. The term which is used for damage to eyes is “diabetic retinopathy” where retinopathy conveys damage to the retina. It is a systemic disease which affects a lot of diabetic patients suffering since 10 years or more. But research indicates that at least 90% of these new cases could be reduced if there was proper monitoring of diabetic eyes and their attentive treatment over these years.

Elevated levels of blood glucose can damage the body in various ways, including harming the blood vessels in your eyes. Diabetes can affect the lining of the blood vessels in your eyes, causing them to thicken and develop leaks. Poor circulation in the retinal vessels can compound these problems by causing the production of fragile new vessels.

Treatment, which depends largely on the type of diabetic retinopathy you have and how severe it is, is geared to slowing or stopping the progression of the condition. The type of laser treatment used to treat diabetic retinopathy is called photocoagulation. Many people having laser treatment have a very little visual impairment. Others who may have early or moderate maculopathy and proliferative retinopathy will also benefit from laser treatment. Laser treatment has revolutionized retinopathy treatment. Together with effective screening, good blood glucose control and blood pressure, it can successfully maintain vision. Ideally, laser treatment should be done early in the course of the disease to prevent serious vision loss rather than to try to treat serious vision loss after it has already developed.

Researchers are studying new treatments for diabetic retinopathy, including medications that may help prevent abnormal blood vessels from forming in the eye. Some of these medications are injected directly into the eye to treat swelling or abnormal blood vessels. These treatments appear promising, but more study is needed. Along with Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment, you can expect excellent treatment like Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery and Pediatric Ophthalmology with Centre for Sight.
