Lazy eye is present in children at birth, when the vision in one eye, does not develop as well as the other. Amblyopia is treatable if caught early, but the symptoms of which may not be apparent immediately. When the brain receives two distinguishable images from the eyes, it learns to ignore one over the other; favouring the clearer unobstructed image. This phenomenon causes one eye to move incoherently with other.
There are varying causes for amblyopia, which obstruct vision in one eye. One can develop extremely near or farsightedness, while the other provides a 20/20 sight. Another cause is Strabismus, where one eye physically, moves either outward or inwards, relating two different images back to the brain. Astigmatism or early childhood cataracts also leads to lazy eye syndrome.
The brain is programmed to receive identical images from both eyes. When one eye sends a different image from the other, the brain disregards one image in an attempt to make sense of what it is seeing. The neglected eye will stop functioning, and partial or complete blindness will result if proper treatment is delayed.
In the case of strabismus or a squint, a diagnosis is as easy as noticing the different eye movements. However, in many cases, the lazy eye takes time to develop and diagnosis and treatment may take place too late. It is the general recommendation that all babies have their vision tested by a paediatric doctor or general physician who will perform eye tests at three months and then two years.
Your children eye doctor will screen the eyes and vision to ensure that light travels to the back of the eye unobstructed, that both eyes see equally well, and the screening will ensure that both eyes moves together properly.
In the case of Strabismus, and vision obstruction like a blood clot, lazy eye is treated by forcing the weak eye to work, while the normal eye is closed for a set period, usually from a few weeks to a few months. A patch re-trains the brain to use the images from the lazy eye, strengthening the eye muscles, and sharpening the vision. The period of treatment can vary for each patient depending on the severity of the condition and how far along the condition has progressed at the time of diagnosis. For cataracts and astigmatism, an eye patch is combined with prescription glasses or contacts lenses, until the patient is old enough for surgery if desired.

Cataract Treatments In Dubai
Cataracts are renowned to be a leading cause of blindness worldwide. The lens of the eye focuses light on to the retina for clear visions. Simultaneously has the ability to adjust the focus of the eye enabling to see both close-up and distant objects.
However, people who has cataracts struggles with daily activities such as difficult to read, driving a vehicle or seeing facial expressions of people. Ebsaar is one of the state of the art clinics in Dubai specialized in performing eye surgeries for a spectrum of eye conditions and diseases.
Cataracts occur when there is a clouding in the natural lens of the eye, which is at the back of the iris and pupil. Lens comprises of water and protein. Along with age related changes, the lenses become less flexible, less transparent and thicker. Additionally, some of the protein clumps together creating little cloudy spots in the lens.
As cataracts grow, it becomes denser involving a greater part of the lens. With the growth of cataracts, clouding of more natural lens leads to distorting light passing through the lens. Cataract growth at preliminary stages does not disturb the eyesight yet squinting eyes helps to see properly. Eventually, cataracts interfered with your vision.

There are two major cataract treatments
Phacoemulsification – It is the most common cataract treatment in Dubai. The surgical procedure involves creating a small incision on the side of the cornea to insert a tiny probe about a size of a pen tip to emit ultrasound waves that emulsifies or soften and break up the cloudy lens. After removal by suction, a clear plastic intraocular lens (IOL) replaces through the same incision.
Extracapsular – This surgery requires a longer incision on the side of the cornea and consumes more time to heal the eye. Through a longer incision, it enables to remove the cloudy core of the lens in one place thus the rest of the lens removes by suction. After removal, a clear plastic intraocular lens (IOL ) is inserted through the same incision and set in to a permanent position. However, this type of cataract treatment is necessary where the lens is too dense to emulsify or dissolve the cloudy spots.
