Care for Vision
Cataract
Diabetic Eye
Macular Conditions
Diabetes affects blood vessels, fine capillaries in the retina can get progressive damage seen as diabetic retinopathy. In one form, the leakage from capillaries cause swelling in the macula (Diabetic Macular Oedema-DMO) causing blurring of central vision. The other form is where abnormal growth of capillaries takes place that may lead to bleeding in the eye. These changes can lead to permanent damage to vision if not attended to in timely fashion.
Cataract is the commonest cause of vision loss globally that can be reversed with a surgical procedure. When the natural crystalline lens of the eye develops opacity, vision starts to fade. The commonest cause for this is age related. In early stages, the problems may be less readily noted. If you are having difficulty with vision, a consultation with eye care professional is advised.
Macula is the central critical part of the retina -the vision sensitive inner lining of the eye. Macula provides us the best -precision vision and hence is critical for our detailed central vision.
Age related Macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of loss of vision in the elderly. The dry form of AMD is commoner and has slower rate of progression compared to the Wet AMD which progresses rapidly if untreated.

Phaco-emulsification surgery
Cataract surgery is performed usually as a day case procedure under local anaesthetic. Often anaestic eye drops are used to numb the eye. The procedure is through a small incision (like key hole procedure). The cataract is taken out using an ultrasound machine and a carefully selected intraocular lens (IOL) implant is inserted in the eye to help focusing.
A variety of IOLs are available as replacement lens, the single foculs (Monofocal), Multifocal lens, Toric Lens (for astigmatism) and options for customised lenses are available. You should seek professional advice if you are considering cataract surgery and especially if you wish to explore IOL options
