Refractive Errors

As we age, our bodies undergo changes and our eyes are no exception. Many people don’t seek medical attention because of negligence and ignorance. Few take steadily decreasing vision as a part of aging and resign themselves to fate. This is unfortunate since most of the eye problems can be prevented or corrected if detected in time. Periodic eye examinations are an important part of good preventive eye care.

When we look at any object, light rays pass from the object through the clear cornea and lens to focus on the retina and form an image. The retina then relays the image to the brain through a set of fibers called as optic nerve.

What are Refractive Errors?

When light rays from a distant object do not come to a focus on the retina, the image of the object appears blurred and the condition is called ammetropia.

Myopia : When the size of the eyeball is longer than normal, these light rays are focused in front of the retina. This is myopia or short sightedness. This can be corrected by concave lenses as spectacles or contact lenses.

Hypermetropia : When the size of the eyeball is shorter than normal, these light rays are focused behind the retina. This is hypermetropia or long sightedness. This can be corrected by convex lenses as spectacle or contact lenses.

Astigmatism : A normal eye has spherical cornea in all its meridians. When the cornea is steeper or flatter in any of its axes, it creates Astigmatism, this is corrected by cylindrical lenses as spectacles or Toric contact lenses

Presbyopia : The normal eye works like an autofocus camera which can focus for distance and near. This is achieved by change of shape of the lens in the eye directing the light rays onto the retina (back of the eye). With age, the lens hardens and cannot change its shape as easily making it difficult to focus on small and close objects. Presbyopia often starts around the age of 40 and slowly worsens over the next 20 years. This is easily remedied with bifocal or multi-focal (progressive) glasses, mono-focal & bifocal contact lenses. Several new procedures are being developed the world over but results are yet unpredictable.

Tired of glasses and contacts?

If you’re looking into LASIK Vision correction, it’s probably because you don’t want to wear glasses or contact lenses any more. Sure, glasses can be a fashion statement, but they can also get in the way. They’re a hassle during your favorite activities, and they block your beautiful eyes from the world. If they’re not getting smudged, they’re getting knocked off.

Contacts too have got their own set of problems. All the supplies you have to buy, the constant cleaning procedures and checkups, lost lenses, allergies and reactions.

Now, imagine life without contacts and glasses – the simplicity, the freedom to do what you want without worry. That’s what LASIK surgery can give you.

Treatment

Although it may look like an emergency, a subconjunctival hemorrhage does not affect the vision and no treatment is required.

How can glaucoma be treated?

While there is no cure for glaucoma, elevated IOP is currently the only treatable risk factor. It is important to treat aggressively with the most effective products such as prescription eye drops that can provide maximum reduction of elevated IOP with long term control. In some cases, surgery can also help. It is important for patients to use medication as prescribed and maintain regular examinations with an ophthalmologist who can evaluate glaucoma progression and treatment options.
