WHAT WE DO..?
Services
Contarct Services
Cataract is a common eye condition where the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to a progressive loss of vision. It usually develops gradually over time and can occur in one or both eyes. The most common cause of cataract is aging, but it can also be caused by injury, certain medications, and other medical conditions such as diabetes. Symptoms of cataract include blurred or cloudy vision, difficulty seeing at night, sensitivity to light and glare, and a need for brighter light for reading and other activities. Cataract surgery is a common and effective treatment for cataract, in which the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens to restore vision.
Glaucoma Services
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause damage to the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. The most common type of glaucoma is primary open-angle glaucoma, which develops gradually over time and is often asymptomatic until vision loss has already occurred. Other types of glaucoma, such as angle-closure glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma, have different underlying causes and symptoms. The primary risk factors for glaucoma include age, family history, high intraocular pressure, thin corneas, and certain medical conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Symptoms of glaucoma can include loss of peripheral vision, blurred vision, eye pain, and halos around lights. Early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma are critical for preventing vision loss and preserving eye health. Treatment options may include eye drops, oral medications, laser therapy, or surgery, depending on the type and severity of the glaucoma. Regular eye exams are important for detecting and monitoring glaucoma.
Retinal Services
Retinal diseases are conditions that affect the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye and is responsible for processing visual images. Some common retinal diseases include:
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD):This is a progressive condition that affects the macula, the central portion of the retina, and can cause loss of central vision.Diabetic retinopathy: This is a complication of diabetes that can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss and blindness.
Retinal detachment: This occurs when the retina becomes separated from its underlying layer of support tissues, and can result in sudden vision loss.
Retinitis pigmentosa: This is an inherited disorder that causes the gradual degeneration of the retina, leading to progressive vision loss.
Macular hole: This is a small break or tear in the macula that can cause distortion or loss of central vision.
Retinal vein occlusion: This occurs when a blood clot blocks the veins that carry blood away from the retina, leading to vision loss and other complications.
Treatment options for retinal diseases depend on the specific condition and severity of the disease, and may include medications, laser therapy, surgery, or other interventions. Regular eye exams and early detection are important for managing and preventing retinal diseases.
Oculoplasty Services
Oculoplastic diseases refer to a group of conditions that affect the structures around the eye, including the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit (the bony socket that surrounds and protects the eye). These conditions can range from cosmetic concerns to functional problems that affect vision.
Some common oculoplastic diseases include:Eyelid disorders: These can include droopy eyelids (ptosis), excess skin or fat on the eyelids (dermatochalasis), and eyelid tumors.
Tear duct disorders: These can include blockages in the tear ducts, which can lead to watering eyes or infection.
Orbital disorders: These can include tumors, fractures, and inflammation of the eye socket.
Thyroid eye disease: This is an autoimmune disorder that can cause inflammation and swelling of the eye tissues, leading to eye protrusion, double vision, and other symptoms.
Treatment options for oculoplastic diseases depend on the specific condition and its severity, and may include medication, surgery, or a combination of treatments. Oculoplastic surgery is a specialized field of ophthalmology that involves surgical procedures to repair or reconstruct the structures around the eye, such as eyelid surgery or tear duct surgery.
Squint/Pediatric Ophthalmology
Squint, also known as strabismus, is a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned with each other. This can cause one eye to look in a different direction than the other eye, leading to a variety of vision problems, including double vision, poor depth perception, and amblyopia (lazy eye).
Pediatric eye diseases can also include other conditions that affect the eyes and vision in children, such as:
Refractive errors: These can include nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, which can cause blurry vision and difficulty seeing objects at certain distances.
Congenital cataracts: These are clouding of the eye's lens that are present at birth or develop early in childhood, leading to decreased vision or blindness.
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP): This is a condition that can occur in premature babies and can cause abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, leading to vision loss or blindness.
Treatment options for pediatric eye diseases and squint can include glasses, patching or covering of the stronger eye to strengthen the weaker eye, eye muscle exercises, and surgery. Early detection and treatment are important for optimizing vision and preventing long-term complications. Regular eye exams are recommended for children to monitor their eye health and development.
Cornea Service
Cornea diseases are conditions that affect the cornea, which is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye and helps to focus light onto the retina. Some common cornea diseases include:
Keratoconus:This is a condition in which the cornea becomes thin and gradually bulges outward, leading to distorted and blurred vision.Corneal dystrophies:These are inherited disorders that cause abnormal accumulation of material in the cornea, leading to cloudiness and vision loss.
Corneal ulcers:These are open sores on the cornea that can be caused by infection or injury, and can lead to pain, redness, and vision loss.
Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy: This is a condition in which the endothelial cells that line the inner surface of the cornea gradually degenerate, leading to corneal swelling and vision loss.
Corneal abrasions: These are scratches or scrapes on the surface of the cornea that can cause pain, sensitivity to light, and temporary vision loss.
Treatment options for cornea diseases depend on the specific condition and its severity, and may include medications, eye drops, contact lenses, or surgery, such as corneal transplant. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for preserving vision and preventing complications. Regular eye exams are recommended to monitor the health of the cornea and detect any early signs of cornea diseases.
