Vision is used in the completion of almost all daily activities. Loss of vision will require a period of training, adaptation and the learning of new skill. During this period the person is likely to require help from another person several times a day with a range of activities.

• Coping with vision loss
• Age appropriate milestones
• Independent daily living activities
• Guidance in selecting better model and method of education

Cataract development is a normal process of aging. Any person may develop it sooner or later. Cataract can also be present from birth. Researchers across the world have recognized factors that are associated with the formation as well as the development of cataract

To a certain level, cataract affected vision can be corrected with prescription eye-glasses including contacts or bifocals. However, beyond a certain point prescription glasses may be ineffective and surgical options have to be considered. In a cataract surgery, the patients’ cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a transparent Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) to restore good quality vision.

At the front of the eye, there is a small space called the anterior chamber. Clear fluid flows in and out of the chamber to bathe and nourish nearby tissues. In Glaucoma there is an impairment in the dynamics of this fluid called aqueous humour due to varied causes, some of which are unknown leading to increase in intraocular pressure. Unless this pressure is controlled, it may cause damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision.

Glaucoma can be easily diagnosed with simple and effective tests which can help in quantifying the anatomical as well as functional loss due to the disease. These tests are advised regularly during the follow up visits or when the disease is not under control and help in proper management of the patient.

Most types of Glaucoma cause no symptoms. Central vision stays normal until very late in the disease. If Glaucoma remains untreated, people may notice that although they see things clearly in front of them, they miss objects to the side and out of the corner of their eye. It seems as though they are looking through a tunnel.

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes for loss of vision worldwide. However, this vision loss can be avoided by timely intervention, which is usually very simple in the form of medical treatment. Patients benefit from our state-of-the-art Glaucoma testing capabilities with specially trained Best Glaucoma specialists In India who are experts in diagnosing and providing either medical or surgical management for all types of Glaucoma. Although Glaucoma cannot be cured, it can usually be controlled.

Recovery Time:

LASIK: The recovery time for LASIK is generally quicker. Patients often experience improved vision within a day or two as the corneal flap adheres rapidly, and discomfort is minimal.

PRK: PRK typically involves a longer recovery period as the epithelium needs time to regenerate.

Postoperative Discomfort:

LASIK: Patients undergoing LASIK often report minimal discomfort during the recovery period, with many experiencing clear vision relatively soon after the procedure.

PRK: PRK patients may experience some discomfort initially as the corneal surface heals. Pain and sensitivity to light are common in the first few days after PRK.

Corneal Thickness and Eligibility:

LASIK: It is generally more suitable for individuals with thicker corneas due to the creation of a corneal flap.

PRK: PRK may be recommended for individuals with thinner corneas as it does not involve creating a flap.

Suitability Factors:

LASIK: Often preferred for individuals seeking a quicker recovery and less postoperative discomfort.

PRK: Considered for those with specific corneal conditions or thinner corneas and for individuals where LASIK might not be suitable.

Ultimately, the choice between LASIK and PRK depends on individual factors such as magnitude of refractive error, type of refractive error, corneal thickness and lifestyle.

As in most cancers, we still do not know why some children develop Retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma can however occur in families due to a genetic defect and children born in such families are definitely at risk

If either parent is affected, there is approximately 40% chance of future offspring developing Retinoblastoma.

Removing the affected part so that it does not spread to other part of the body and cause death Using radiation treatment.

Giving intravenous medicines (chemotherapy).

Ptosis is the medical term for droopy eyelids. Droopy upper lids may be present in children since birth or present in the early years of life.

Amblyopia is reduced vision in an eye that has not received adequate use during early childhood. Amblyopia, or “lazy eye,” has many causes. Most often it results from either a misalignment of a child’s eyes, such as crossed eyes, or a difference in image quality between the two eyes (one eye focusing better than the other). Amblyopia is the most common cause of visual impairment in childhood. The condition affects approximately 2 to 3 out of every 100 children.

Amblyopia mainly occurs during childhood when the nerve pathway from one eye to the brain does not develop adequately. Generally, when the eyes are not working together and send a wrong or blurred image to the brain, the brain gets confused and may start to ignore the image from the weaker eye resulting in amblyopia

The goal of amblyopia treatment is to improve the visual acuity of the poorer eye, such that it’s acuity comes at par or within one or two lines of the good eye. With early diagnosis and treatment, the sight in the “lazy eye” can be restored. A recent NEI report suggests that older children can also benefit from amblyopia treatment.

A Squint (Strabismus) is a condition of the eye that causes one of the eyes to turn inwards (converge), outwards (diverge) or sometimes upwards, while the other eye looks forward. The cause, severity, and direction of a squint vary from person to person. It is usually spotted in childhood, sometimes within weeks of a baby being born, and affects 5-8% of children (1-2 in every 30).

There are six muscles attached to the outside of each eye that are responsible for eye movements. When there is an imbalance of these muscles, a Squint occurs. The cause of the squint may not be obvious but can include a family history, long or short sightedness, injury or viral illness.

The most common symptom of a Squint is one of the eyes not looking straight ahead. In new-born babies it is quite normal for their eyes to ‘cross’ occasionally, particularly if they are tired. However, if you notice that this happens to your child beyond three months of age, it is advisable to talk to your ophthalmologist.

A Squint is a condition that should be treated as soon as possible after it’s detected. Treatment is most effective in very young children. A Squint will not disappear as the child gets older, and in fact the sight in the affected eye will gradually get worse.

Patients commonly experiences intermittent attacks of redness, pain and increased sensitivity to sunlight, decrease in vision.

As uveitis is associated with other systemic conditions; eye specialist consults with other specialty doctors like chest physicians, rheumatologists, pathologist, and radiologists to investigate and treat this condition in best possible manner. For finding a cause; blood investigations and sometimes x-ray, CT scans are necessary. Sometimes, systemic drugs like steroids are necessary to treat.
