What is Corneal Disease, Its Symptoms and Treatment

The cornea is the frontal clear translucent tissue that covers the rest of the eye, including the iris, pupil, and other elements. The vision problems that occur due to corneal disorder are clouding, distortion, and scarring. These problems might lead to blindness if left untreated.  Keratoconus, Fuchs’ Endothelial Dystrophy, and Bullous Keratopathy are major Corneal diseases that causes vision problems.

What are the symptoms of Corneal Disease?

In Keratoconus, as the cornea protrudes or steepens, vision becomes increasingly blurred, and a simple task like wearing contact lenses becomes strenuous. In Fuchs’ Endothelial Dystrophy or Bullous Keratopathy, an individual may first notice glare with lights at night or in bright sunlight. As these conditions progress, vision may get foggy or blurry in the morning and clear up as the day proceeds. With further progress of the disease, vision remains blurrier and eventually may not get clear at all.

What is the treatment for Corneal Disease?

Treatment is customized depending upon the type of disease and the condition of the patient. These might include medications, laser treatment, or surgery, depending upon the condition.

Keratoconus is often managed with special contact lenses. Newer treatments include corneal crosslinking (riboflavin and ultraviolet-A) and corneal implants. Advanced Keratoconus diseases are treated with anterior-lamellar-keratoplasty or corneal-transplants.

The swelling from Fuchs' Dystrophy or any other conditions which damage the cornea's endothelial cells is managed initially with salty-eyedrops or ointments. If the condition deteriorates, an endothelial-lamellar-keratoplasty is suggested.

Other Corneal diseases include Infections which are treated with medicated eye drops or oral medication. Herpetic-stromal-keratitis is a recurring swelling that develops after a herpes-eye-infection and is managed with anti-inflammatory steroid-eyedrops. An abrasion might require temporary patching or a bandage contact lens. Eye problems caused by Vitamin-A deficiency can be corrected with supplements. Allergic eye disease requires either topical or oral allergy medication. A Pterygium is a growth on the cornea's surface that is most commonly seen after chronic sun exposure. These can be removed surgically. Cancers of the surface of the eye are managed with surgery or topical chemotherapy eye drops. The corneal disease must be treated immediately.

What are Difference between Optometrists and Ophthalmologists

Whom to consult for eye problems? is a common question amongst all. There are ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians each excelling in their own area with different experience and methods.

  A guide amongst them:

 Ophthalmologist: is an osteopathic doctor excelling in advanced eyecare and vision. Ophthalmologists are different for optometrists in their level of diagnosis and providing treatment. An ophthalmologist obtains his license to practice and perform surgery only after completing college and a minimum of eight years of additional medical training. They can prescribe glasses or lenses too, few of them are involved in advanced eye care as they keep on researching the causes and cures to eye related issues. Then there is a Subspecialist amongst ophthalmologists. This person pursues two years of extensive practice in areas such as retina, cornea, paediatrics, and others. This added expertise upgrades an ophthalmologist into a M.D  specialising in specific areas.

Optometrist: are medical individuals who provide preliminary vision care such as eye testing, examine eyes and management of sight changes. An optometrist isn't a medical doctor -doctor but an individual who receives the degree of optometry after completing four years of optometry college and three to four years of practice. Their primary role of an optometrist is to perform eye testing, vision tests, detecting eye abnormalities and giving correct eye lenses.

Then there are opticians who are the last in the segment of eye care. They use prescriptions provided by ophthalmologists and optometrists to provide proper lenses and eyewear to individuals. They can’t treat any eye patients.

If you are in search of advanced eye care or an Best Eye Care Centre in Prayagraj then Sharp Sight Eye Hospital is the place to be for treatment. As their updated instrument complemented by a competent team of doctors specialising in various forte of eyes make it an idle place for advanced eye care.

Lasik - Pain-free treatment for vision correction

Our eyes are a very delicate part of our body, yet we neglect their protection and care. Later on, this negligence makes us wear a high number of glasses and contact lenses.

Lasik surgery is a painless method to remove those high number glasses and contact lenses. Lasik is the short name for Laser in-situ keratomileusis. It is a common surgery that is performed on patients having a high number of glasses, or suffering from cataracts. The motive of performing this surgery is to achieve perfect eyesight or to make the vision better. There has been evidence where people have a significant reduction in their glasses number.

The whole procedure takes about 15-20min and the patient is sent home after 2-3 hours of observation. The people who opt for this surgery are mostly suffering from myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.

 Lasik is a bladeless procedure. Before the treatment starts your doctor will take some eye measurements and will give your medicines. Just before the surgery, some eye drops will be poured into your eyes to numb them. When you will lay comfortably, with a special cutting laser they will precisely change the curvature of the cornea. A laser beam is passed to remove cornea tissues. This is done multiple times as only a few portions are removed at once. This is done to flatten the curve of the cornea.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma commonly known as “Kala Motia” is very common among eye diseases one can suffer from. There is a group of conditions that cause this damage to the eyes.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is caused when the optic nerve gets damaged. The most common causes for glaucoma are age, high internal eye pressure, or family history.

The eye pressure gets elevated due to the fluid being built up in the eye. When there is overproduction of fluid, it hampers the flow of fluid, which means when excess fluid is produced, the fluid cannot flow at its normal speed. This causes damage to the optic nerve.

Cataract surgery, its symptoms and treatment.

What’s a cataract?

A cataract can be best described as a cloudy & dense area found in the lens of the eye. It is a clump-like structure formed in the eye due to clotted protein that covers the lens hence avoiding the clear transmission of images to the retina. 

When the lump is absent, the retina turns the transmitted light into signals. Thereafter signals are further transmitted to the optic nerve, which is then transmitted to the brain at the last. Hence a developed cataract can despair the vision as it disrupts the retina’s functioning.

What to do after diagnosis?

In case you are diagnosed with cataract, you might be seeing your eye specialist regularly to get rid of the cataract at the earliest. Basically there are two types of surgeries used to cure cataract. These are:

Traditional Surgery 

Laser Surgery

Traditional Cataract surgery is one of the most common types of surgery presently performed in the entire world while laser cataract surgery employs all the latest technologies to help you get rid of the cataract and may sometimes produce a much accurate and safe result. Now which will be the right option for you is another huge question? But worry not as all your queries regarding this can be well addressed by your Ophthalmologist.

Ophthalmologists are the eye specialists that you often pay visits to. Your ophthalmologist is knowledgeable enough to advise on which type of surgery you should adhere to. Both types have their own benefits and saying that one is better than the other would rather be unfair to the latter. Hence your eye specialist is in the best position to advise you and he’s the one you should listen to.

Prevent Glaucoma with seven simple steps

Glaucoma is counted amongst some of the rare diseases that barely shows any type of symptoms. This is why many people today have glaucoma but don't know it.

Glaucoma tends to damage the eye’s optic nerve, which is an important link between the eye and the brain. People with glaucoma may even lose vision before they could notice any problem with their eyes.

Though, it’s impossible to repair the vision loss you may get from glaucoma. Still, there are certain ways that may help you prevent serious vision loss and blindness that will be either caused due to glaucoma. 

1. Catch this silent thief of sight before it steals your complete eyesight. Hence someone who is at a greater risk for glaucoma, should see the ophthalmologist regularly for eye exams. This can help in recognizing  the disease in its early phase which will help treat it better. 

2. Taking steroids as medication? First consult your eye doctor. Consuming steroids continuously for a long time or in high doses can put you at greater risk by increasing your eye pressure, especially if you have glaucoma. 

3. Eat well and see well. Eating plenty of leafy green vegetables, fruits and berries every day can prove quite effective in preventing severe vision loss. They consist of both vitamins and minerals that protect your eyes and body.

4. Exercise… but with caution. Intense exercise can raise your heart rate and can also simultaneously raise your eye pressure. But on the other hand, regular exercise and brisk walking at a moderate pace can reduce the eye pressure and enhance your overall health. 

5. Avoid eye injury. Eye injuries are counted amongst the cause of glaucoma. Wearing protective eyewear during sports or while working on your home and in your yard is a good way to protect your eyes.

6. Do not sit in head-down positions. Avoid placing your head below your heart for long periods of timeIf you if you’re at high risk of getting glaucoma. Following this simple step can help in preventing the disease. 

7. Avoid direct sunlight. According to some experts, the sun’s UV rays may cause a type of glaucoma. Wearing quality polarized sunglasses and a hat when exploring the outdoors can help prevent the same.

Though the above discussed methods may work well for prevention of the disease, still professional expertise is always vital. At Sharp Sight Eye Hospital, we have a team of Glaucoma Specialists in Delhi NCR who are well experienced and equipped in treating Glaucoma. Our team of glaucoma specialists thoroughly analyzes your condition and then crafts a specialized glaucoma care package that specifically suits your needs and reduces the IOP in order to prevent any other damage to the optic nerve.

Say ‘hello’ to a regained vision with cataract surgery.

A cataract can be best described as a cloudy & dense area found in the lens of the eye. It is a clump-like structure formed in the eye due to clotted protein that covers the lens hence avoiding the clear transmission of images to the retina. 

When the lump is absent, the retina turns the transmitted light into signals. Thereafter signals are further transmitted to the optic nerve, which is then transmitted to the brain at the last. Hence a developed cataract can despair the vision as it disrupts the retina’s functioning.

Signs you may need cataract surgery

The chances of you getting a cataract also increase as you grow older. Cataract also tends to get worse with time. 

A cataract patient may not need surgery in the primary stages as there is no significant visual impairment caused till this point and hence there is no need for surgery. Usually, an eye specialist will recommend surgery when the cataract starts affecting your vision. 

Certain ways in which the cataract may impair your vision include:

colors appearing faded

blurry vision

halos around lights

impaired night vision

sensitivity to glare and bright lights

double vision

Who Is at risk of developing Cataract?

People with eye injuries

Diabetic Patients

People who have been using steroids for long

People of age 60 years or more 

People who are overexposed to ultraviolet rays

Cataract Surgery

To adhere or not to surgery depends on the extent to which your vision has despaired. There have been certain cases in which the vision impairment has got better by mere use of lenses, glasses, or stronger lighting. While all those various methods may work effectively for a shorter span of time, the only correct way to cure cataracts in the long term is surgery. 

But like every good thing out there, cataract surgery also comes with some side effects. Cataract Surgery, if not done the right way can even lead to corneal disorders. This is because of the loss of endothelial cells which are generally found in the back layer of the cornea and focuses on keeping the cornea clear as its primary objective. 

Although, cataract surgery would rarely cause any sort of corneal disorder as it is highly enriched with enough endothelial cells to supplement the loss, still in some cases, extra loss of endothelial cells may pose a major risk to the cornea even giving rise to corneal disorders. 

But you can shedd all your worries off, as we are here to help you with the same. At Sharp Sight, we have a team of expert eye specialists in east Delhi who are well equipped and experienced to provide you the best eye care.

Whether it’s just an eye check-up or corneal disorder, Sharp Sight is your go-to partner for the best eye care as it is one of the best eye hospital in east delhi.
