Myopia ? But Still You Can See The World With A Clearer Vision

How to cure Myopia?

       
          Myopia also known as Nearsightedness is the most common refractive error of the eye. The most appropriate treatment for Myopia depends on your eyes and your lifestyle.

What is Myopia?

         
           If you have perfect vision when you look at an object, light rays reflect off that object and pass through the cornea and the lens of the eye, which bend (or refract) the light and focus it on the retina at the back of the eye and the rays focus directly on the surface of the retina. But in case of a myopic eye, the eyeball will be too long from front to back which causes the light rays to focus at a point in front of the retina, not directly on its surface. This makes distant vision blurry.No need to worry it can be cured by one of the Best Lasik eye surgery center in India which is Dr Tony's Super Specialty Eye Hospital.

Myopia may sometimes cause as a result of a cornea that is too curved for the length of the eyeball or a lens that is too thick. In some cases, myopia may be caused by a combination of problems in the cornea, lens, and length of the eyeball.

Symptoms of Myopia

           
          If you are having a myopic eye you will have trouble in  seeing objects far away and you can clearly see the things nearby. People  with myopia will sometimes have headaches and eyestrain from struggling to clearly see things in the distance. Sometimes, feeling fatigued can be a symptom of uncorrected nearsightedness when driving or playing sports.

Myopia Treatment

          
          Myopia can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery. A refractive surgery can eliminate your need for glasses or contacts.

• PRK: In this procedure,  the laser removes a layer of corneal tissue, which flattens the cornea and allows light rays to focus more accurately on the retina.

• LASIK: This is the most common refractive procedure, where  a thin flap is created on the surface of the cornea, a laser removes some corneal tissue, and then the flap is returned to its original position.

Just One Simple Procedure to Get A Clear Vision

A large number of people use specs to correct the refractive problems of their eyes. To avoid the uses of glasses, people undergo surgical methods to reshape the cornea or carve round dome in front of the eye. For most of the defects like nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, people can be treated better with a laser correction of the cornea. This would enable the patient to get freedom from the uses of spectacles and contact lenses.

Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis or LASIK involves the use of laser beams to correct the shape of the cornea. Unlike the surgical methods, this method demands very little recovery time.

Who can have a refractive surgery?

A refractive surgery can be done on any person who is free of eye diseases and is willing to accept the problems that may creep in due to this procedure. Those who want to reduce the dependence on spectacles can opt for this procedure.

How does it work?

For nearsightedness, the problem is with the curvature of the cornea becoming steep, which lessens the visibility of the eye. To counter this, methods of refractive surgeries are used to change the shape and curvature of cornea so that the steepness is lost. For farsightedness, on the other hand, the trouble lies with a less steep curvature of the cornea. The same method of laser technology is used to achieve the required steepness.

Astigmatism is another defect that can be handled with refractive surgery techniques. To treat astigmatism, a laser is used to make an irregular and odd shaped cornea smooth and symmetrical.  This prevents the distortion of light making the light fall on the retina and that would create a better image.

Suffering From Diabetes? It May Cause Eye Problem

Diabetic Retinopathy is an eye complication that arises due to the presence of diabetes. This tends to damage the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissues behind the retina. At its beginning, it will cause no symptoms but in long term, it may cause blindness. People who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes are more prone to this condition. Controlling blood sugar will lessen its chances to a great extent.

When should you visit a doctor?

• Spots floating before your eyes 
• Unclear vision 
• Colour impairment 
• Dark areas in the vision 
• Losing central vision

How is it diagnosed?

An ophthalmologist will conduct a thorough the eye exam. This includes pupil dilation in that doctor will put drops in the eyes to widen the pupils. It will help look out for any difference in blood vessels, a growth of new blood vessels, retina swelling, the detachment of the retina.

Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment

Laser treatment: This treatment is used to treat infected blood vessels behind the retina. This reduces the changes happening in the eye. At the first, patient will be given drops to numb eyes. Then a laser will be directed into the retina to treat this. It will be over within 20 to 40 minutes.

Eye injections: In certain cases, a medicine called anti-VEGF is directly given to the eyes to prevent the growth of new blood vessels. Other two medicines were given are ranibizumab (Lucentis/Accentrix) & aflibercept (Eylea) which prevents the worsening and improve the vision.

Eye surgery: Known as vitreoretinal Surgery, it is recommended when there is a scar which is likely to cause retinal detachment. In this vitreous humor ( clear, jelly-like material which fills the space in the back of the eye lens ) is removed from the eye.

Dr.Tony's Superspeciality Eye Hospital and Lasik Centre offers best Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment in Kerala where the treatment is provided by experienced ophthalmologists at an affordable cost.

Vitreoretinal diseases

Vitreoretinal diseases are conditions that affect the vitreous and retina, present on the back portion of the eye. Vitreous is a clear jelly like material present between the crystalline lens and the retina which help in maintaining the stability of eye. The retina is a light-sensitive tissue present in the back portion of our eye which creates images using cornea and lens.

Common vitreoretinal diseases

• Retinal detachments or tears: Retinal detachment occurs when the vitreous moves away from the retina and pulls the retina hard enough to tear it. It is a serious condition, which needs proper treatment. Otherwise this retinal detachment can lead to blindness or blurred vision.
• Macular degeneration: Macular Degeneration is a condition, caused by the deterioration of the central portion of the retina, which causes vision loss. Macula is the central portion of retina, which is responsible for controlling the ability to read,recognize the faces or colors and for focusing central vision.

• Diabetic retinopathy: Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that affect eyes, due to the damage of blood vessels at the retina. This condition is an aftereffect of diabetes, where no symptoms are noticed at the onset of the disease. Patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are more prone to diabetic retinopathy.
• Macular holes: The macula is an oval shaped area present in retina, which is responsible for providing sharp vision needed for reading, driving etc. Macular hole is developed when small break occurs in macula. It will cause distorted and blurred vision and is commonly seen in older people.
• Posterior Vitreous Detachment: A posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a condition which is seen in older people who are in their late 60's. Here the vitreous membrane gets separated from the retina causing posterior vitreous detachment.

• Flashes and floaters: Floaters are small specks or clouds moving in the field of vision. It can be appeared as dots, circles, lines, clouds or cobwebs. Flashes are seen when the vitreous gel pulls on the retina. It may be observed for weeks or months. These conditions are observed as a result of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).

Most of the vitreoretinal diseases can be treated surgically by using lasik, laser, PRK and by various other procedures.

LASIK EYE SURGERY

Most people who are tired of wearing glasses and contact lenses might have always wished for a change. Lasik Eye surgery is the best option to keep away your glasses and get back a new look. Dr.Tony’s Superspeciality Eye Hospital and Lasik Centre offers the best lasik eye surgery in Kerala. Lasik Eye surgery is a type of laser surgery used to correct refractive defects like myopia (short-sightedness), astigmatism (defect in lens) and hyperopia (long-sightedness).

LASIK Procedure

Here the patient is made to lie under a surgical device called excimer laser. An eyelid retractor (speculum) is placed between the eyelids to keep your eye open and to prevent the patient from blinking. Then the surgeon cuts and lifts a flap of corneal tissue that is created using an automated micro surgery device (microkeratome) or a laser. This corneal flap is lifted and bent backwards with its edges folded and smoothened. The Lasik eye surgery lasts for only few minutes, while the recovery time ranges from a few days to several weeks.

The best candidate for LASIK eye surgery are people with healthy eyes who seek to correct their nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
Advantages

• Vision can be corrected immediately after surgery
• No need of bandages or stitches
• Use of eyeglasses and contact lenses can be completely eliminated

After LASIK surgery

The doctor may ask you to take rest for a while and usually you can go home immediately after surgery. You may feel a temporary burning or an itching sensation in the eyes immediately after the operation. It is normal to have a blurry vision immediately after the surgery. However, from the next morning the sharpness of the images will be improved and continue to improve within few days. In some rare cases it can take several weeks or more.

Dr.Tony’s Superspeciality Eye Hospital and Lasik Centre is one of the best eye hospital in Kerala, who provides the services of experienced lasik eye surgeons at an affordable cost.
