Most of the time this condition is detected only upon Routine Eye Examination since there are hardly ever symptoms till very late. Hence all patients at our hospital / clinic above 40 years age are screened for the same. The symptoms of this disease may vary from no Symptoms to Eye ache, Headache, red painful Eye and blurred vision. Sometimes early Glaucoma can cause frequent change in spectacles power.
Excessive wear of Contact Lenses, particularly overnight wear, and poor hygiene is associated with most of the safety concerns. Never ignore any redness, itching, watering if you are wearing Contact Lens and seek advice from the ophthalmologist.
Few complications of Contact Lens are Giant papillary conjunctivitis-allergic, Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis-dry Eye, Corneal abrasion, Corneal ulcer – keratitis etc. These are not common and can be easily avoided with proper handling and care of your Lenses.
Not really. There is nothing external influencing the course of Glaucoma. There is no diet restriction. Carry on with our routine lifestyle and just be regular with your medicines. If you have hypertension, diabetes or thyroid disease, it needs to be well controlled. Avoid having excess of tea and coffee as caffeine has been shown to increase eye pressures in some individuals.
Routine eye examination includes-
• Applanation Tonometry-to measure intraocular pressure
• Fundus- documents the changes of Optic Nerve head(disc) while looking at your fundus through pupil
• Gonioscopy- The type of Glaucoma is detected by assessing the angle of an interior chamber of Eye by gonioscopy.
Depending on the level of suspicion, we ask for following confirmatory test:
• Perimetry – computerized visual field test to detect areas of fading vision.
• Central corneal thickness-to refine the results of our eye pressure measurements
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)-anatomical documentation of the optic nerve head and
If you are thinking that eye examinations are only for people with poor vision, then you are absolutely wrong. We believe that our vision is fine until a visit to the doctor reveals a true situation. An annual eye check-up is necessary to know whether you are suffering from any eye problem before you witness any serious symptom.
Your eye doctor needs to know about your previous history of any allergies, medications or supplements you take, a general update about anyone having eye diseases in your family. The ophthalmologist can easily identify diabetes, glaucoma, high blood pressure and other problems and will recommend you to do a follow up with your physician. You must prepare a list of questions to know about your eye health and ask whether it is right to wear contact lenses on your first visit.
You will be made to read random letters to check your distance and the close vision. The side vision, color recognition shall also be checked. The eye doctor can also use drops to dilate your pupils, which can make eyes light sensitive and caused blurred vision for some time. You need to understand your expectations from the Surgery. Are they realistic? Discuss all the pros and cons in detail with the Surgeon.
If you are an adult without risk factors for eye disease, it is recommended that you have an eye examination:
• At least once between the ages 20 and 39
• Every two years between 40 and 50
• Every year if you are above 50 or older.
• If you have a family history of glaucoma or history of diabetes, you should be examined every year after 40
• People with diabetes should get an eye examination done at least once a year
Whether you are a suitable candidate for microkeratome or femto bladeless lasik, the surgeon will be able to guide you after examining your eye parameters like:
• You are at least 19 years old.
• Your Refraction ( glasses power) are stable for more than a year
• You will have to undergo detailed Eye examination to decide if Lasik is suitable for your Eyes – Corneal Thickness ad Curvature, Eye Pressure, Retina Examination etc.
• You should not be pregnant or nursing as these conditions might change the measured Refraction of the Eye. It is best to wait for 6 months after delivery to get Lasik done.
• You should be in good general health. Lasik may not be recommended for patients with Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Lupus.
• You should not have eye Diseases like Keratoconus, Glaucoma, Herpes Infections of the Eye, severe Dry Eye.
Phacoemulsification Surgery is done through 2.2 mm self-sealing incision. The cloudy lens is broken into small pieces and sucked out by an ultrasonic high speed vibrating handpiece. After the Cataract material is removed, the back capsule of the lens is left behind on which a clear foldable intraocular lens is implanted. The bladeless Femto technique offers laser assisted cataract surgery to make it blade free. Most of the times we do the Surgery under topical anesthesia-only eye drops are used to make your eyes numb so that there is no pain felt. As there is no injection near the eye involved, patient feels very comfortable and goes back without any pad and bandage.
