A young woman came in with severe pain and redness in one eye. On examination, she had a small corneal ulcer.
The cause? She was cleaning her contact lenses with tap water.

Here’s why that’s dangerous👇

Tap water is not sterile. It can carry bacteria, fungi, and a dangerous organism called Acanthamoeba, commonly found in tap water, pools, hot tubs, and lakes.

When it sticks to contact lenses, it can infect the cornea and cause Acanthamoeba keratitis, a serious condition that can threaten vision.

Warning signs include:
• Severe eye pain (often worse than it looks)
• Redness and light sensitivity
• Worsening corneal ulcers

🚫 Never clean or store contact lenses with tap water
✅ Always use prescribed contact lens solution
👩‍⚕️ See an eye doctor immediately if you feel pain or redness

Save this. Share it. Protect your eyes.

Products I’d want women to be careful with — as an eye surgeon 👁️⚠️

Not because makeup is bad, but because eyes are delicate.

• Red-out eye drops – mask the problem, don’t fix it
• Waterproof mascara – hard to remove, irritates lids
• Retinol eye creams – can trigger dryness and inflammation
• Heated lash curlers – risk of burns and lash damage
• Glitter eyeshadow – tiny particles can scratch the cornea
• Eyelash glue – common cause of allergies and infections

Beauty should never come at the cost of your vision.
If your eyes burn, itch, water, or feel heavy — listen to them.

Healthy eyes > everything else. 👁️✨

After your 40s, this is the age when near vision usually starts needing spectacles.
But yes — there are ways to reduce your dependence on glasses.

Here are the main options we consider after 40 👇

• Micro-monovision
One eye is corrected for distance, the other slightly for near. The brain adapts well in selected patients.

• Presby LASIK
A laser-based solution designed to improve both distance and near vision in suitable eyes.

• ICL (Implantable Contact Lens)
A permanent lens placed inside the eye without removing your natural lens. Useful for higher numbers.

• Clear Lens Extraction
The natural lens is replaced with a premium lens to reduce both distance and reading glasses.

There is no single “best” procedure for everyone.
The right choice depends on your eye health, power, cornea, retina, and daily visual needs.

After 40, the aim is not just seeing well —
it’s seeing comfortably at all distances. 👁️✨

And this is where many people get confused.
Good vision on the chart doesn’t always mean the eyes are healthy or working together properly.

Squint is not just a “number problem.”
It’s an alignment issue. One eye may be seeing clearly, but if both eyes are not pointing in the same direction, the brain struggles. This can lead to eye strain, headaches, double vision, poor depth perception, and even loss of confidence over time.

Many adults ignore squint thinking it’s only cosmetic or something that should’ve been treated in childhood. That’s not true. Squint can be evaluated and treated at any age — and treatment is about comfort, function, and quality of life, not just appearance.

If you or someone you know notices eye deviation, head tilting, or frequent eye strain despite “clear vision,” don’t ignore it.
Seeing clearly is important — but seeing together is what truly matters. 👁️

Sleeping in contact lenses blocks oxygen to the cornea and traps bacteria against the eye. This can quickly lead to infection, pain, redness, blurred vision, and in severe cases, permanent vision loss.

Contact lenses are medical devices, not lifestyle accessories.
Never sleep in them unless specifically prescribed.
And if you notice redness, pain, or sudden blur — see an eye doctor immediately.

Protect your vision. You only get one pair of eyes. 👁️

If you wake up with blurry, foggy vision in the morning that slowly clears as the day goes on, it’s not just “sleepy eyes.”

This can be a sign of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy.

In this condition, the innermost layer of the cornea (called the endothelium) doesn’t work properly. These cells normally pump excess fluid out of the cornea to keep it clear. Over time, they slowly reduce in number, allowing fluid to build up.

At night, when your eyes are closed, evaporation decreases and fluid accumulates in the cornea. This causes corneal swelling, which is why vision feels hazy or foggy on waking. As the day progresses and your eyes stay open, evaporation improves and vision often clears temporarily.

Don’t ignore morning blur. Early diagnosis helps manage symptoms and protect long-term vision.

If this sounds familiar, an eye check can make all the difference. 👁️

06/01/2026

Before compliments, I check if the cornea is clear.
If the lens is healthy.
If the eye pressure is normal.
If the retina is safe and seeing the way it should.

Beautiful eyes mean nothing if vision is slowly getting damaged inside.
And the truth is, many serious eye problems don’t hurt, don’t look obvious, and don’t give early warnings.

That’s why regular eye check-ups matter.
Not just to see well today — but to protect your sight for years to come.

Because clear vision, comfort, and eye health will always matter more than how eyes look. 👁️✨

High fever seizures in infants don’t just affect the body — they can affect the brain.
And when the part of the brain responsible for vision is involved, the eyes may appear perfectly normal, yet vision can still be severely affected. This is known as cortical visual impairment (CVI).

That’s what makes it dangerous.
No pain. No redness. No obvious eye problem.
Just missed milestones — not following light, not fixing gaze, not recognising faces.

Early eye and neurological evaluation is critical.
While some damage may be permanent, early intervention, vision stimulation, and therapy can significantly improve how a child uses their remaining vision.

If your child has a history of:
• Febrile seizures
• Birth complications
• Delayed visual response
• Poor eye contact

Please don’t wait hoping things will “improve with time.”
Time matters. Early action matters more.

👁️ Paediatric eye evaluation can change outcomes.

In your 20s, eye damage doesn’t announce itself loudly.
It whispers. And most people ignore it.

Lash serums. Waterproof mascara. Heavy eye makeup. Untreated facial rosacea.
They look harmless. They’re trending. Everyone’s using them.

But here’s what happens quietly over time 👇
• Lash serums can inflame eyelid glands
• Waterproof makeup clogs oil glands
• Cream shadows > dry powders for sensitive lids
• Facial rosacea can slowly turn into ocular rosacea
• Dryness, burning, redness become your new normal

And one day you’re sitting in an eye clinic saying,
“Doctor, my eyes always feel irritated… I don’t know why.”

Eye care in your 20s isn’t about fear.
It’s about prevention.

Because eyes don’t regenerate.
And trends change faster than damage heals.

Listen to your eye doctor early.
Your future eyes will thank you. 👁️

This patient came to me with a complaint most people overlook — the eye wasn’t closing completely.
No severe pain. No dramatic redness. Just constant exposure.

This condition is called Lagophthalmos — where the eyelids cannot close fully. It can occur due to facial nerve weakness, eyelid scarring, bulging eyes, previous eye surgeries, or even during sleep (nocturnal lagophthalmos).

When the eye stays partially open, the surface dries out. Over time, this can lead to corneal damage, infections, irritation, and even permanent vision loss if not treated on time.

Using advanced imaging like OPTOS, we can examine the eye thoroughly and decide the right treatment — whether it’s lubrication, protection, or surgical correction.

If you or someone you know sleeps with their eyes open, has difficulty closing an eye, or experiences constant dryness — don’t ignore it.
Early diagnosis makes all the difference.

Most people panic the moment they hear the words “injection in the eye.”
I get it. It sounds scary. But here’s the honest truth — this injection is often the reason people don’t lose their vision.

Conditions like diabetic retinopathy and wet AMD cause bleeding and swelling inside the retina, the most sensitive part of your eye. This damage happens quietly. No pain. No warning. And if left untreated, the vision loss can be sudden and permanent.

That’s where anti-VEGF injections come in.
These medicines are delivered directly into the eye, exactly where the problem is. They stop the abnormal bleeding, reduce fluid buildup, and protect the healthy retinal tissue. The procedure itself takes only a few minutes and is done under sterile conditions. Most patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable it actually is.

What truly puts vision at risk is delay — waiting out of fear, ignoring symptoms, or skipping follow-ups. Retina damage doesn’t reverse on its own. Once vision is lost, it often cannot be fully recovered.

If your ophthalmologist has advised eye injections, it’s not optional care — it’s vision-saving treatment. A few seconds today can protect years of sight ahead.

Don’t fear the injection.
Fear what happens when bleeding inside the eye is left untreated.

👁️ Early treatment saves vision. Regular retina check-ups matter.

Here’s the hard truth.

Many anti-itch or “redness relief” eye drops contain steroids. They give quick relief, so people keep using them without realizing the damage happening inside the eye. Long-term, unsupervised use can lead to cataract, glaucoma, infections, and permanent vision loss.

That blur you’re noticing now isn’t sudden. It’s the result of years of silent damage.

Eye drops are medicines. Not cosmetics. Not daily comfort products.
If your eyes itch often, the real problem could be allergy, dry eye, lid issues, or infection — and each needs a different treatment.

Never use any eye drop continuously without an ophthalmologist’s advice.
And if you’ve been using one for months or years, please get your eyes checked immediately.

Your eyes don’t get a second chance. Treat them with respect. 👁️
