Vitreo-retinal diseases are conditions that affect structures inside the eye called the vitreous and the retina. Vitreo-retinal diseases such as Diabetic retinopathy, Age related macular degeneration, Retinal detachment, Macular hole etc. require urgent management. Patients often require laser therapy, intravitreal injections in the eye or an eye surgery. Prompt treatment must be done for recovery of vision.
Cataract is opacification of the normally clear lens of eye. Most commonly, it develops with age. Once you find it difficult to do your routine day to day activities such as driving, watching television, reading books etc, consider getting an appointment with an eye doctor. At AKIO, a micro-incision phacoemulsification surgery is routinely done with placement of a premium lens.
Most corneal diseases are treatable. Diseases of the cornea requires skilled management. Diseases of the cornea such as keratitis, Corneal dystrophies, keratoconus, degenerative conditions of the cornea need investigative modalities such as topographic analysis and Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (As-OCT).
Dry eye is a condition when a person does not have good quality tears to lubricate the eye. Sometimes, dry eyes cause a lot of tearing. This is reflex tearing, which happens to try to compensate for the dryness. Dry eyes occur due to absence of some important component of tear film, which must be supplemented. A very severe disease may need scleral contact lens or ocular reconstruction such as amniotic membrane transplantation and limbal stem cell transplantation.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions where high eye pressure causes damage to the optic nerve. Optic nerve is important because it sends visual signals from retina to the brain. Glaucoma often has subtle to no symptoms. Once diagnosed, medical therapy including eye-drops and oral medications are required. The aim is to control and monitor eye pressure. In most patients, this can be achieved with eye-drops. Some may require a surgery.
Comprehensive
Ophthalmology
Comprehensive Ophthalmology deals with complete evaluation of the eyes. A routine eye examination is advised to check vision, screen for eye diseases, update eyeglass or contact lens prescription. A routine cornea and retina examination along with screening for glaucoma is done.
The uvea is the middle layer of the eye. Inflammation of uvea is called Uveitis. This is a group of eye diseases with different causes. Often, the cause is related to diseases present elsewhere in the body which must be looked for. The warning signs are redness, pain or floaters. The symptoms occur suddenly and may get worse quickly. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications and maintain good vision.
Orbit and Oculoplasty deals with the structures around the eye consisting of the eyelids, lacrimal glands and the bones around the eye. Procedures and surgeries are done for tear drainage problems, eyelid malposition, thyroid eye disease, tumours of the eyelid and orbit, laceration of eyelid after trauma and cosmetic corrections around eye.
Contact lenses are thin lenses placed on the surface of the eyes to correct vision or for treating some corneal or ocular surface problems. With proper precautions, contact lens are safe and comfortable.
Low vision aids are designed to improve visual performance in patients with low vision, providing enrichment of daily experiences.
Neuro-ophthalmology is a speciality which deals with diseases of the optic nerve and the brain that cause vision problems. Optic neuritis, papilloedema, multiple sclerosis etc are some of the diseases. Often, many of these problems have associated problems in other parts of the body. A detailed evaluation and early treatment are required for visual recovery.
