YOUR EYES
Healthy eyes can enhance your quality of life and add to the joy of living. Are your eyes normal and healthy? Below are some of the common eye conditions that would require a visit to your ophthalmologist.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the most common of all refractive errors affecting over 25% of the population
Astigmatism, is an overall inability of the eye to focus clearly at one point because of uneven curvatures of the cornea. Astigmatism often occurs in conjunction with nearsightedness and farsightedness.
Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a refractive problem caused by an eyeball that is too short or a cornea that is too flat.
What is cataracts and how can they be treated?
Cataract, is the natural lens that has turned cloudy. Cataracts are not a disease, but rather a normal part of the aging process.
What is glaucoma and how can it be treated?
Glaucoma, is a condition that is characterized by optic nerve damage and visual field loss. It involves increased pressure in the eyes, resulting in damage to the optic nerve and a progressive loss of peripheral vision. This may lead to blindness if not timeously diagnosed and treated.
What is retinal detachments and how is it treated?
Retinal tears, and detachments involve a rip or tear in the tissue comprising the retina. Retinal detachments are a separation of the retinal tissue from the inside wall of the eye. This requires immediate and urgent medical attention.
How can the eyes of diabetic patients be treated?
Diabetic Retinopathy, is a potentially vision threatening condition in which the blood vessels inside the retina become damaged by high blood sugar levels.
Macular Degeneration, is a condition that occurs with age and involves the degeneration of the macula. This is the region of the retina responsible for sharp, central sight. Progressive deterioration of the macula leads to loss of central vision.
