lazy Eye Treatment

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.

Keratoconus Treatment Dubai

Keratoconus occurs when the cornea of the eye assumes an abnormal cone shaped protrusion that defers according to degree based on the thickness of the cornea along with the vision of the patient. There are extremely minute fibers present in our eyes called collagen and they help hold the cornea in place and keep it from bulging abnormally. The weakening of these fibers results in the cone shaped protrusion referred to as Keratoconus by eye specialists in Dubai and around the world. The best possible explanation for this eye disease is that the condition seems to be genetically carried. There is also some evidence that points towards constant and chronic eye rubbing causing the disease. In most cases though, Keratoconus in Dubai cannot be related to any eye injury or ailment or trauma as an explanation for its occurrence.

Keratoconus is known to manifest more commonly during the affected individuals teenage years even though it is possible for those of other ages to develop it as well though it is less common. The changes in the shape of cornea too can happen drastically or over time depending on the individual’s condition. Keratoconus in Dubai therefore has proven to result in blurred vision, glares, halos and streaks of light in vision when affected. One may develop this eye disease in one eye and then move on to the next in a period of time.

Some treatment methods available for Keratoconus are Epikeratophakia; a procedure which consists of using a piece of donated corneal tissue to repair the eye or in some early cases; the corneal cross linking with UV lights in order to stabilize the condition. Topographically guided laser treatments are also used along with the implantation of contact lenses. In very advanced cases; a lamellar corneal graft or penetrating the corneal graft might be required in order to treat this condition.

This eye impairment in Dubai can make it virtually impossible for the eye to focus without the use of visual aids such as contacts or eye glasses. This being said it is extremely dangerous for those with this condition to opt for treatment methods such as Lasik surgery so avoiding this at all costs is absolutely recommended by the experts at Ebsaar Dubai for their betterment and wellbeing.

At Ebsaar Dubai we put our specialized focus on not only superior treatment methods but also by educating our patients on how to prevent progressive ailments such as glaucoma which comes in 4 different types; the most widespread being chronic glaucoma. Another variation of the disease is called acute glaucoma and this is extremely dangerous because it occurs suddenly and can cause permanent damage to the optic nerve which in turn can cause blindness. Other eye conditions can also cause secondary glaucoma while congenital glaucoma occurs mostly in babies and is due to malformation of the eye.

Even though prevention is said to be better than the cure with glaucoma early detection too can halt the progression of the disease effectively and immediately if you know how to go about seeking precautionary measures for the betterment of your sight. Glaucoma checkups Dubai is recommended to be done every two to four years before the age of 40 and every six to twelve months after the age of 65. Annual checkups in between are also recommended especially if you are an individual with diabetes, of African decent or if it runs in the family because this is also a genetically transferred disease.

Being affected by Glaucoma in Dubai would mean that you are now susceptible to blindness or significant vision loss. Why suffer all this if it can be easily prevented by a few precautionary measures through early detection? Glaucoma medication that can be prescribed in the early stages of the disease is designed to slow the progression of Glaucoma in Dubai through the reduction of intraocular pressure which halts damage to the optic nerve. Surgery is also an option for more severe cases.

Some daily healthy routines can also halt the progression of Glaucoma and you can couple them with your Glaucoma checkups Dubai in order to derive optimal results. Moderate exercise is known to not only benefit overall health but also reduce intraocular pressure which in turn prevents glaucoma from progressing further. Wearing protective eyewear is also another practice that can be inculcated when outdoors and even when at home to minimize unnecessary eye exposure to bright light or dust.
