Evolution of Lasik

What is LASIK?
LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, a procedure that involves the use of a laser to reshape the cornea of the eye so that light traveling through is properly focused onto the retina for a sharp and clear image. This improves refractive capability and allows varying degrees of myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness) and astigmatism (“san guang”) to be corrected.

LASIK is one the most popular laser vision correction procedures with more than 28 million procedures performed worldwide to date. Since it was first approved in 1999, LASIK has been regarded as a safe and successful method for vision correction with minimal downtime and quick recovery.

Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is an irritation or inflammation of the conjunctiva, which covers the white part of the eyeball. It can be caused by allergies or a bacterial or viral infection. Conjunctivitis can be extremely contagious and is spread by contact with eye secretions from someone who is infected.

B scan

B-scan ultrasonography (USG) is a simple, noninvasive tool for diagnosing lesions of the posterior segment of the eyeball. Common conditions such as cataract, vitreous degeneration, retinal detachment, ocular trauma, choroidal melanoma, and retinoblastoma can be accurately evaluated with this modality.

CATRARACT ਮੋਤੀਆ. मोतियाबिंद

A cataract is when your eye's natural lens becomes cloudy. Proteins in your lens break down and cause things to look blurry, hazy or less colorful.

In this article:

Vision Problems with Cataracts
Symptoms of Cataracts
Causes of Cataracts
Diagnosing Cataracts
Treating Cataracts
Inside our eyes, we have a natural lens. The lens bends (refracts) light rays that come into the eye to help us see. The lens should be clear, like the top lens in the illustration.

Vision Problems with Cataracts
If you have a cataract, your lens has become cloudy, like the bottom lens in the illustration. It is like looking through a foggy or dusty car windshield. Things look blurry, hazy or less colorful with a cataract.

AMD

Sometimes the delicate cells of the macula get damaged and stop functioning. The exact cause of this is not known although it tends to happen as people get older. This is known as Age-Related Macular Degeneration [ARMD]. The most common types of macular degeneration are dry (atrophic) and wet (exudative).

The dry type is more common and is caused by ageing and thinning of the tissues of the macula. The wet type is caused by the formation of abnormal blood vessels under the macula, which leak fluid or blood and blur central vision. As we have started to live longer, we live to see the ‘age related' changes in our eyes, ARMD being one of them. Children and young people can also suffer from an inherited form of macular degeneration called macular dystrophy, which can sometimes affect several members of the same family.

How is macular degeneration diagnosed?

Viewing the macula through dilated pupils using a fundoscopy.
Digital fluorescein angiography (FFA) to find out if there are abnormal blood vessels under the macula.
Indocyanine green angiography (ICG) in certain cases.
The diagnosis can only be made by an ophthalmologist and only if your eyes are dilated. Once you are diagnosed with this condition, it is best to be under the care of vitreo-retinal specialist. "Once diagnosed, patients are taught how to check the progress of their own ARMD using a special test called ‘Amsler's Grid'. The grid appears ‘wavy' if there is ARMD"

Pterygium

A pterygium is a growth of the conjunctiva or mucous membrane that covers the white part of your eye over the cornea. The cornea is the clear front covering of the eye. This benign or noncancerous growth is often shaped like a wedge. A pterygium usually doesn’t cause problems or require treatment, but it can be removed if it interferes with your vision.

What causes it?

The exact cause of pterygium isn’t known. One explanation is that too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can lead to these growths. It occurs more often in people who live in warm climates and spend a lot of time outdoors in sunny or windy environments. People whose eyes are exposed to certain elements on a regular basis have a higher risk of developing this condition. These elements include:

pollen
sand
smoke
wind

Chalazion

A chalazion is a small, usually painless, lump or swelling that appears on your eyelid. A blocked meibomian or oil gland causes this condition, which is sometimes known as a meibomian cyst.

A chalazion can develop on the upper or lower eyelid. It may disappear without treatment. “Chalazia” is the term for more than one chalazion.

See an eye doctor if you think you have a chalazion, especially if it blocks your vision or you’ve had chalazia in the past.

Chalazion vs. stye

A chalazion is sometimes confused with an internal or external stye. An internal stye is an infection of a meibomian gland. An external stye is an infection in the area of the eyelash follicle and sweat gland.

Styes are usually painful, while chalazia usually aren’t. Chalazia may develop after styes.

Chalazion symptoms

A chalazion typically appears as a painless lump or swelling on your upper or lower eyelid. Chalazia may affect both upper and lower lids. They can occur in both eyes at the same time. Depending on the size and location of the chalazion, it may blur or block your vision.

Although not as common, if an infection is present, a chalazion may be:

red
swollen
painful

Why to control diabetes

DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major medical problem throughout the world. Diabetes causes an array of long-term systemic complications that have considerable impact on the patient as well as society, as the disease typically affects individuals in their most productive years. An increasing prevalence of diabetes is occurring throughout the world. In addition, this increase appears to be greater in developing countries. The etiology of this increase involves changes in diet, with higher fat intake, sedentary lifestyle changes, and decreased physical activity.

Symptoms
You might not have symptoms in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy. As the condition progresses, you might develop:

Spots or dark strings floating in your vision (floaters)
Blurred vision
Fluctuating vision
Dark or empty areas in your vision
Vision loss

When to see an eye doctor

Careful management of your diabetes is the best way to prevent vision loss. If you have diabetes, see your eye doctor for a yearly eye exam with dilation — even if your vision seems fine.

Developing diabetes when pregnant (gestational diabetes) or having diabetes before becoming pregnant can increase your risk of diabetic retinopathy. If you're pregnant, your eye doctor might recommend additional eye exams throughout your pregnancy.

Contact your eye doctor right away if your vision changes suddenly or becomes blurry, spotty or hazy.
