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?

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.

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.
