Laser Eye Surgery - Best Option for Corneal Disorders

Cornea is the eye's upper most layer that covers coloured iris and round pupil. Cornea has an important role in clear vision.

Corneal disorders refers to various conditions that affect cornea. If the cornea becomes affected with disease it will result in scars or discolouration that interfere the vision by blocking the light that enters the eye.

Cornea has the ability to heal itself most of the diseases and if it is affected with deep injury the healing process might take long time to heal possibly resulting in a variety of symptoms like blurred vision, redness and corneal scarring

Corneal ulcers

Corneal ulcer is an abrasion or open sore in the upper layer of cornea and is often caused by infections from bacteria, viruses or fungi. Common symptoms of corneal ulcer are red eye, sever pain, swollen eyelids, blurry vision etc..It would be better to seek the medical care when there is change in vision and severe pain.

Treatment for corneal infections depends on the cause and should be started soon to prevent the scarring of cornea.

Corneal injuries

An injury to cornea is usually known as corneal injury. This may be caused by chemical irritation, overuse of contact lenses, reaction to contact lens solutions and scratches on the surface of cornea.

Slight injuries and abrasions to cornea are common though chemical burns may affect the cornea severely.

If cornea is badly affected by chemicals or foreign agents, It is best to seek a medical treatment without delay.

Corneal dystrophies

Corneal dystrophies are categories of inherited, non -inflammatory, bilateral disorders of cornea distinguished by corneal deposition and morphological changes. The diseased state associated with corneal dystrophies varies widely and if there is continuous accumulation of deposits in cornea, it may lose its clarity that results in the decreased vision.

Treatments for this disorder may include eye drops, lasers, ointments and corneal transplant. Corneal transplant or keratoplasty may be necessary for individuals with significant symptoms of Corneal dystrophies.

Corneal Allergies

Allergies affecting the eyes are common and the most allergies are related to pollen, contact lens wear, medications and foreign agents. The common symptoms include redness, itchiness, watery discharge and burning.

Allergies can cause painful inflammation which may reduce vision, produce corneal discharges and erode the cornea.

Neera eye centre provides treatments for all corneal disorders that includes infections, injuries, corneal dystrophies allergies etc..

Although LASIK is the best-known procedure that helps patients who suffer from corneal disorders, there are many other types of eye surgery (PRK, LASEK, ALK, and LTK) and before deciding for a particular procedure, the patient must first consult an ophthalmologist in order to choose the appropriate treatment for his or her pathology.

ICL Surgery - Improve Your Vision !

ICL is a high-tech yet a simple way of correcting your refractive error. Don't be disappointed if your doctor has denied Lasik procedure for your eyes. The following information gives you reassurance that you can still enjoy life without the constraints and restrictions of spectacles or contact lenses. No more problems for playing, driving, jogging or swimming!

ICL Eye Surgery

The outpatient ICL eye surgery procedure is performed in less than 30 minutes. Before the procedure, the eye will be numbed with a topical or local anesthetic, and a mild sedative may be given if necessary. ICL eye surgery is similar to intraocular lens implant surgery, except there is no need for cataract removal. This allows the implantable contact lens to be inserted without removing the eye’s natural lens. Instead, during ICL eye surgery, the implantable contact lens in inserted through a small incision in the eye and placed into its position in front of the natural lens.

ICL Eye SurgeryRecovery

Similar to intraocular lens surgery recovery, you will need to return to your ophthalmologist for a follow-up visit within 24 hours of your ICL eye surgery. You may be instructed to use eye drops and a protective shield after the placement of your implanted contact lens in order to protect your eye as it heals. Any minor pain associated with the ICL eye surgery can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications.

You should notice improved vision the day of your ICL eye surgery. Most patients experience the optimal effects of the implantable contact lens procedure in about one to seven days. The total recovery period for ICL eye surgery is relatively short. Your eye should be completely healed within one to two months.

As you age, you may need to update your ICL prescription. However, as more information on implantable contact lens procedures is compiled, it appears that most prescriptions remain constant. This minimizes the need to exchange the original implantable contact lens with an ICL of a different strength.

The surgery is virtually pain free and only takes around 30 minutes to perform and patients should notice an improvement immediately after surgery. Recovery time from the surgery is relatively quick due to the minimally invasive nature of the surgery itself, with patients being fully healed in one month.

Advantages of ICL Surgery

* Accuracy is excellent

The vast majority of patients have a near perfect outcome with one surgery. Reoperations are unusual.

* Quick Recovery

Great vision correction within a few hours, with patients seeing nearly 20/20 by the next day. Little or no pain.

* Less visual side effects

Glare and halos are less common with ICL's because they cause less aberration in the eye. Night vision has been shown to be better in ICLs as well.

* No effect on future surgeries

Since eye shape is not changed, there is no effect on other future surgeries, such as cataract surgery.

* Permanent

Once the lens is in place,, the change in nearsightedness is permanent.

* Reversible

If a problem does occur, the lens can be removed. Since the eye has not been significantly changed, it returns to its preoperative state.

* Less Medical contraindications

Patients with dry eye syndrome do not need to worry that their condition will worsen with surgery. And patients with some of the other medical contraindications for LASIK are candidates for ICL

Other advantages : The lens is small, foldable, and injected through a tiny, painfree, self-sealing incision in your eye. The ICL provides highly predictable outcomes, excellent quality of vision and can be removed if necessary.

Corneal Transplant--For a Better Vision

The cornea is the front window of the eye that covers the colored iris and round, dark pupil. Light is focused while passing through the cornea, allowing us to see. The cornea is the clear part at the front of the eye that’s responsible.  A healthy, clear cornea is necessary for good vision. The cornea is the clear part at the front of the eye that’s responsible for transmission of light into the eye. A cornea transplant is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor, when is affected with cornea problems. 

Various corneal disease, which affect the health of the cornea and cause a reduction in vision can be treated with corneal transplants, including:

   
·         Scarred cornea
·         swelling of the cornea
·         Cornea infection often caused by wearing contact lenses
·         Complications caused by past eye surgeries or previous corneal transplant

Corneal Disease

If your cornea is injured or affected by disease, it may become swollen or scarred, and its smoothness and clarity may be lost. Cornea transplant is necessary, to remove damaged or unhealthy cornea tissue with a new one. A cornea transplant can restore vision, reduce pain and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea. A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Most cornea transplant procedures are successful.

In a corneal transplant, the cloudy or warped cornea is replaced with a healthy cornea. If the new cornea heals without problems, there may be tremendous improvement in vision. Most common complication of a corneal transplant is a very high and irregular corneal astigmatism which can significantly limit the vision with and without glasses.

Other complications include:

·        -- post-operative leakage

·        -- rejection of the donor cornea

·         --graft failure and infection.

October 11-World Sight Day-For a Better and Powerful Vision!!

This world is visible to us because we are blessed with eyesight. Eyes are the most important  part of our life which  gives us a vision to see the beauty of nature. Eyes play a vital role in our day to day lives and are perhaps the most precious gift we have.

Eye is the organ which provides us the sense of sight, allowing us to learn more about the surrounding world than we do with any of the other four senses. We use our eyes in almost every activity we perform, whether reading, watching television, and in other number of ways.It is very important to take care of your eyesight.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 286 million people are visually impaired, yet 80 percent of the causes of blindness are preventable. The annual day devoted to sight awareness is focused on "Vision 2020: The Right to Sight," a global effort to prevent blindness created by the WHO and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.

VISION 2020 : The global initiative for the elimination of avoidable blindness, a joint programme of the World Health Organization and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness with an international membership of NGOs, professional associations, eye care institutions and corporations.

In India 5 million cataract surgeries are conducted annually. 25% of the population has some kind of refractive error, which occurs when the eye doesn't bend light correctly (refract) as it enters the eye, and  results in a blurred image.

Eye Care

• If you get something in your eye, never ever rub your eyes! Eyes are sensitive and can be scratched easily. Instead keep blinking wash your eyes with fresh water.
• When playing sports or constructing, always use the proper eye protection.
• You should never look into the sun directly, because its brightness will damage the light-sensitive part inside your eye called the retina.
• The eye doctor is very important because he/she can let you know how your eyes develop as you grow. Visit your eye doctor regularly for check-ups, at least once every two years. People over the age of 60 must see their eye doctor every year.
