Blepharitis In Dubai

Ebsaar Eye Surgery Center sees many people who experience problems with vision and physical discomfort of the eye. A very common eye condition is the itchy, swollen, red eye that is symptoms of Blepharitis. Blepharitis is commonly noted by inflamed eyelids caused by bacteria found excessively on the skin. When this bacteria combines with the oil from the eyelids, it causes discomfort prompting the person the scratch the eyes for relief.

The eyes have their own lubricating gland called the meibomian gland on the eyelids. This gland can become blocked and infected which a common cause for dry eyes. The symptoms will progress to excessive tearing, redness and the eyelids will become scaly, dry, and red. The meibomian gland is affected by a hormone imbalance in the body and therefore cannot be directly treated. However, the symptoms of Blepharitis are managed by the patient and the Dubai eye care doctor through specific routines and good eye care.

Symptoms of Blepharitis

The blockage of the meibomian gland can lead the feeling that something is lodged in the eye. The eyes will feel warm or you may experience a burning sensation and experience sensitivity to light. The eyelids will become red and swollen and this may cause your eyelashes to fall off. Additionally, the eyes will tear excessively and have bouts of dryness and itchiness.

How is Blepharitis Treated?

Blepharitis is not cured but the symptoms are treated and managed with proper eyelid hygiene. If the condition is left untreated, the symptoms will progress on to cause severe eye infection. Should you experience these symptoms continuously see an eye care specialist in Dubai immediately to prevent further discomfort of the eye. Here are some steps that you could follow at home to keep your eyes clean and infection free:

• Always keep your hair away from the eyes. Loose falling hair will cause more irritation to the eye.
• Always wash hands before touching the eye
• Dab a warm, clean, washcloth in a diluted solution of baby shampoo and using your index finger, wipe the eyelids clean. The baby shampoo is safe and chemical free and will provide immediate relief by cleaning the eyelids effectively. Rinse thoroughly and dry the eye using another clean washcloth.

Medical treatment

Your eye doctor will prescribe artificial tears to wash the eyes out for mild forms of Blepharitis. Additionally, antibacterial solutions help fight the bacteria and your doctor may suggest draining out the infected oil with a procedure known as LipiFlow. This is a short treatment that gently “milks” out the infection from the meibomian gland.

Prevention of Blepharitis

If you are affected by the condition, it is advised to keep your hands clean, avoid rubbing your eyes too often and follow good eye care hygiene as required. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid wearing eye make as the chemical ingredients can further irritate the eyes. If makeup is a requirement, do not share your eye makeup with anybody else and always make sure the products used have not passed the expiry dates. Those who wear reusable contact lenses should take extra measures to ensure the contact lenses are cleaned well.

If the symptoms progress for more than three days make an appointment to see an eye specialist immediately at Ebsaar Eye Surgery Clinic for proper medical attention.

Healthy Vision Dubai

Sunglasses are more than just a fashion accessory and wearing the right pair is important in the prevention of many eye diseases. Many people confuse sunglasses as fashion accessories and therefore, buy them based on the fashion statement they make. It is important to understand the protective feature of the pair you buy, and know how effective a pair of sunglasses can be in prolonging good eyesight until old age.

Sunglasses protect your eyes from receiving harmful Ultraviolet Radiation

Ultraviolet radiation is a negative catalyst in the development of premature visual problems which includes age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. In addition, the skin around the eye is the thinnest and prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays, can cause premature aging. UV rays have been known to age the skin around the eyes, causing wrinkles and fine lines. It is important to buy a good medically approved pair of sunglasses to prevent the onset of these diseases and aging signs. A high quality pair of sunglasses will block 100% of UV rays from coming in contact with your eyes and the skin around it.

Wearing sunglasses reduces glare

Most surfaces reflect and amplify light. Roads surfaces, water, snow, glass buildings, and sand all reflect light back creating a glare. This is especially dangerous while driving or if you’re involved in any type of sporting activities. Polarized sunglasses protect your vision from being distorted; preventing extreme glare. There are many fake sunglasses that claim to be polarized and it important to ensure a good high polarized pair of sunglasses is used for these activities.

Sunglasses reduce headaches caused by fatigued eye muscles

The pupil of the eye dilates and constricts to allow just the right amount of light to the retina. In extremely bright conditions, the pupil will find it difficult to constrict further to prevent bright light from entering the eye. This will force the person to squint, which means your eyelids too will start to close up, further reducing light intensity. The eyelids and pupils are both controlled by tiny muscles in the eye, which show signs of strain when overworked for long periods. This inevitably leads to eye straining and headaches. Sunglasses are designed differently for different purposes, and therefore you need to use the correct pair depending on the time of day and environment.  

Prolonged Healthy Vision

Wearing the correct pair of sunglasses is important in maintaining good eyesight for as long as possible. You will need different pairs depending on the varying activities and environments you are exposed to. You may need to have different pairs, made specifically for each activity or sport. The right pair of sunglasses or protective glasses while working on the computer is also necessary to prevent future visual problems and eye diseases.

If you would like to know more about buying the correct pair of sunglasses talk to your doctor at the Ebsaar Eye Surgery Center and we will be happy to give you any advice you need. 

Conjunctivitis Dubai

A common problem with the eyes is an infection or inflammation of the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is a thin transparent covering on the inside surface of the eyelid. Conjunctivitis is common amongst many individuals and is usually seen as a pinkish effect around the eyelids and can spread to many individuals in the same vicinity. Conjunctivitis is common in schools and offices, where individuals remain in closed spaces for long durations.

Conjunctivitis is not a serious, however if left untreated develops into serious visual problems. Conjunctivitis is a bacterial, viral, or chemical infection that affects the eye, either airborne or caused through chemical pollutants in the air. Bad eye makeup with chemical irritants is also sometimes responsible for conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis is sometimes a symptom of sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea and Chlamydia. Always consult your Dubai Eye Doctor for any type of eye infection to ensure your eyes are safe from danger.  

Symptoms of Conjunctivitis

• Itchy warm sensation in one or both eyes
• Swelling on the eyelids
• White discharge from one or both eyes with excessive tearing
• Redness in the infected eye
• Irritability to light

What are the causes of conjunctivitis?

There are a few reasons that could cause conjunctivitis in the eye. This could be due to seasonal allergies, infectious or chemically induced redness in the eye.

Conjunctivitis caused by Allergies

Conjunctivitis brought on by allergies is common among people living near farms and fields where the air contains dust and pores. Giant papillary conjunctivitis is another form of allergic conjunctivitis in which a large particle finds its way into the eye causing irritability and redness. This happens mainly to people who touch or rub their eyes often or wear contact lenses for a long time.

Conjunctivitis caused by infections

There are three types of infectious conjunctivitis:

Bacterial conjunctivitis caused by two types of bacteria streptococcal and staphylococcal. These two types of bacteria are found on the skin and respiratory systems of humans. It is therefore, easily transmitted through physical contact or air. Infectious conjunctivitis easily spreads among individuals in closed spaces or when in contact with an already infected person. You can be infected with Bacterial conjunctivitis by using contaminated make-up and eyewear.

Viral Conjunctivitis is associated with the common cold and could be a symptom of the flu. Viral infections of the lungs contaminates your respiratory tract, nose and eventually the connected tear ducts and throat. Viral conjunctivitis is a airborne disease as well.

Ophthalmia Neonatorum is a bacterial conjunctivitis that affects newborn babies. Newborns are at risk of contracting a bacterial infection when passing through a birth canal affected by Gonorrhea and Chlamydia. This type of infection is immediately treated to prevent serious visual problems in the future.

Chemical Conjunctivitis

Chemical Conjunctivitis is caused by chemical pollutants in the air, a type of redness and swelling can occur in the eye. High concentrations of chlorine, or chemical sprays like hair sprays and insect spray can seriously harm your eyes.  

How is conjunctivitis treated?

Each strain of conjunctivitis is treated differently and your doctor at Ebsaar Eye Surgery Center – vision correction solutions will examine the cause of your conjunctivitis before administering the right course of medication.

• Allergic conjunctivitis – Conjunctivitis caused be allergies is better prevented, as it is best to avoid the irritant or wear protective glasses during seasonal changes. Cool compresses will bring the swelling down. Artificial teardrops will relieve mild discomfort. For severe cases, antihistamine or anti-inflammatory medication, is prescribed by your eye doctor in Dubai. Steroid eye drops is prescribed, for severe persistent cases.
• Bacterial conjunctivitis – Antibiotic eye drops are available to treat bacterial infections and will generally take a few days to show results when the course is completed.
• Viral Conjunctivitis – viral infections will need to run its course as antibiotic drops or ointment does not cure this type of conjunctivitis. Symptoms may be reduced with the use of cool compresses, and tear drops. For severe pain or inflammation, a steroid eye drop will be prescribed. Some doctors treat eye infections with an iodine eyewash; the effectiveness of which is still not known.
• Chemical Conjunctivitis – When your eyes come in contact with chemicals, it is important to flush it out completely with cold water for many minutes. If the problem persists or severe pain is felt, visit an emergency room for immediate treatment. If left untreated, chemical conjunctivitis may cause partial or complete blindness. Visit an eye clinic Dubai to ensure that an ophthalmologist can look at it to prevent future visual problems.

Good Nutrition for the Eyes

When we talk about our health in Dubai, we concern ourselves with good nutrition for the body, but pay minimum attention to the health of the eyes. We must understand, that although, the heart, brain and bones is what does keep up well, our main objective to remain healthy is to enjoy life and not become the responsibility of other people, prematurely. Having healthy vision fits into this objective more prominently than we realize.

The eyes like all the other parts of the body, has its own requirements for good nutrition and exercise.

Here are the most important nutrients and minerals that your eyes require for great vision throughout your life.

Chromium – contributes to controlling intraocular pressure when focusing on near or far objects. The muscles used the most are those in the eye, and chromium helps with muscular contraction in the eye. Good sources of Chromium are greens like spinach, peppers and green apples, meat and eggs, and especially seafood like oysters.

Vitamin C – we cannot stress any further importance on the value of vitamin c on the correlation between the prevention of many visual diseases and illness like Cataract, and reduces intraocular pressure in Glaucoma patients. Even though, we are naturally inclined to think that only citric fruits and juices are good sources of vitamins C, you would be surprised to know that green vegetables like Broccoli, parleys, collards and chili pepper are richer in vitamin C than citric fruits.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin – types of carotenoids help protect the retina of the eye, responsible for distinguishing colours. These two nutrients, act like natural sunglasses that protects the inner eyes from severe UV radiation. Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which helps form a yellow covering over the retina, and are found in similar color, yellow peppers, pumpkin, corn, carrots, and yellow tomatoes. Other rich sources are fruits like papaya, mangos, and oranges.

Zinc – helps convert beta-carotene into vitamin A, which is an important nutrient that helps to maintain good vision. The highest level of zinc is found in the eyes of the human body and constant replenishment can be achieved by eating foods like oysters or oyster sauce and spinach. Artificial sources like good multivitamins should contain high amounts of zinc sufficient for the eye.

Selenium - an anti-oxidant that helps in the prevention of cataracts and macular degeneration by neutralizing free radicals in the eye. Selenium found in the same foods as chromium and additionally in foods like garlic, fish, and brewer’s yeast.

Glutathione – a type of amino acid linked to the prevention of retinal disease, glaucoma, cataracts, and blindness due to diabetes. Foods rich in glutathione are sulfur-based foods such as asparagus, onions and garlic and fruits like watermelon and grapefruits.

Ginkgo – another powerful anti-oxidant is one of the oldest species of trees in the world that has existed for over 150 million years. It helps in maintaining healthy retinas if taken throughout your lifetime. 

What is Cataract Treatment?

Cataract is the world’s leading cause of blindness in people above the age of 50, although it is also seen in children mainly due to the intake of prescription medicine and hereditary circumstances. Cataract affects the lens in the eyes and most often than not, both eyes are affected at the same time. Cataract affects 18 million people worldwide but its effects can be delayed with proper eye treatment and if blindness occurs Cataract Treatment is available at Ebsaar Eye Surgery Center.

Cataract is the name of the disease that happens in the lens of the eye. The lens is made up of protiens and water. The lens is a clear part of the eye. As we age the protiens in the lens separates from the water and collects in sections distorting or blocking light and images from falling on the retina (the back part of the eye that transmits signals to the brain using the optic nerve).

Although Cataract is diagnosed mostly in the older population, it not uncommon amongst young children and babies.

* Age-related cataracts ? As people age, the lens in the eyes loses it strength and eventually a build up of protein clouds your vision.

* Congenital cataracts ? seen in babies and young children is a result of poor development, injury and infection before or after birth.

* Secondary cataracts ? is a symptom of other ailments like diabetes or the exposure or consumption to radiation, ultra violet light, harmful or toxic substances or is the side effect of prescription medication such as corticosteroids (steroids prescribed for inflammation, digestive problems and hormone replacement) or Diuretics (pills prescribed for high blood pressure)

* Traumatic cataracts ? as the name suggests is caused after direct injury to the eye.

There are three type of cataracts diagnosed in patients.

* Cortical Cataract affecting the outer part of the lens and gradually moving towards the center.

* Nuclear Cataract which begins in the center nucleus of the lens. When new cells form on the outter surface of the lens, the older ones are pushed to the centre which becomes the nucleus. In this type of cataract, the old cells are not able to retain their form, and hence the water and the protien separate.

* Subcapsular Cataracts is caused mainly by prescription medication and occurs at the back of the lens. Diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and hormorne replacement medical are all causes of this type of cataracts.

Prevention methods have not been fully understood yet, and as 18 million people are affected from cataract around the world, some scientific research claims that certain foods have either a positive or a negative effect on the disease. In one research it has been found that meat-eaters were more at risk of getting Cataract than people who included more fish and vegetables in their diet. Anti-Oxidents, certain vitamins like A, C, and E, zinc and regular eye exercise have been tested as preventive steps to delaying the onset of Cataracts.

There are some concerns when it come to patients who have previously had LASIK surgery done and require Cataract surgery as they age. These concerns are addressed by providing your Ophthalmologist, with all the information of your visual health prior to and after the LASIK surgery was done. The Ophthalmologist will evaluate each case individually and advise accordingly.

Refractive errors in Dubai and in anywhere else in the world are generally categorized in to two section; high and low. High refractive errors generally result in the patient having blurry and inaccurate vision to an extent that the eye cannot correct this predicament and focus on an object accurately on its own.

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.

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.

Visual impairment is a major problem not only in Dubai but throughout the world. Lasik treatment Dubai is an extremely trendy and novel solution for such issues due to it being an extremely convenient and easy-to-do procedure. If you are an individual that requires a visual aid of any form then you know how inconvenient such tools can be. For example wearing spectacles not only hinder your appearance but is also a hassle when it comes to always keeping track of where they are and you’d be familiar of how annoying this is if you happen to be as clumsy as I am! Spectacles can also limit your visual ability when it comes to playing certain sports as well. The same rules apply for contact lenses as well. Not only are they uncomfortable and cause irritation; but imagine your plight if one just happens to fall out of your eye? All I can say is, good luck looking for that!

Lasik treatment Dubai or laser eye surgery is a procedure in which an ophthalmologist utilizes a laser in order to revamp visual impairments among individuals.

Although Lasik surgery is an easily available procedure it is our duty to inform you on some pointers as to what you require in order to be a successful candidate for such a procedure. The acceptance of the extremely low possibility of a surgical complication that will permanently affect your eyesight is the first step. Like every surgical procedure there is that small percentage where a complication might occur and you as a voluntary patient must be prepared for this. Also it is important to note that certain career paths do not condone this procedure being done for varying reasons so it’s important to check with them as well. Another crucial factor is that you notice that your visual impairment is stagnant and not healing itself because if it is, like in most cases, undergoing the procedure could be a waste of your valuable time. Therefore it is a good recommendation to make sure that you have a full eye checkup before sitting for any surgical procedure in order to be certain because your eyes are the most important feature in your day to day life and we at Ebsaar Eye Surgery Center Dubai want nothing but the best for you.

Diabetic Eye Conditions

It is in fact a fact that individuals with diabetic conditions are more prone to eye problems that may lead to diabetic blindness than those without the condition.

If you are a diabetic patient and experience sudden blurred vision, do not come to us for a pair or correctional lenses. Make sure you inform us that you are diabetic and we will do the needful by stunting the rapid development of diabetic eye conditions caused by high blood sugar levels.

Having high blood sugar levels in your system causes the lens of the eye to swell and this hinders normal sight and leads to the development of various eye disorders. Controlling your blood sugar with the use of medication and a proper diet is therefore essential in order to see results in pending diabetic blindness or eye disorders as it takes up to three months for your blurred vision to return to normal after your sugar levels are controlled.

There are many diabetic eye conditions that may occur within the span of your life such as the rapid buildup of already existing cataracts, glaucoma, that can be controlled by getting annual glaucoma screening from us and most commonly; diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is a disorder of the retina that occurs mostly in those with high blood sugar levels. It occurs due to the damage of small vessels. There are three types of retinopathy and they are; background retinopathy where there is blood
vessel damage but no vision problems, maculopathy which significantly reduces vision and proliferative retinopathy which is due to the lack of oxygen in the eye caused by new blood vessels growing in the back of the eye.

What Is Keratoconus And How Is It Treated?

Cornea

Cornea is an important part of the eye. Light pass through the cornea to refract the light rays to enable clear vision. Keratoconus Dubai is an uncommon eye disease, which develops in the cornea of the eye. The disease may affect one or both eyes of a person. The disease when affected, leads to difficulty in seeing and eventually distorts images.

Keratoconus

In an eye with Keratoconus, the cornea thins and protrudes into an irregular cone shape. Therefore, the light passing through the cornea distorts by affecting the vision. This progressive disease impacts the normal round cornea to bulge out. Hence, it interferes with daily lifestyles and making it difficult to continue activities such as driving, watching TV and reading.

Diagnosis of Keratoconus

Consulting an Ophthalmologist Dubai will help to diagnose Keratoconus. There are leading eye clinics Dubai that provide extensive diagnosis and treatments for Keratoconus.

• Keratometry is a diagnostic process where a light focuses on the cornea and the reflection is utilised to determine the curve of the cornea.
• Corneal mapping is another diagnosis, which takes a picture of the cornea and generates a topographical map of the eye’s surface.

Causes of Keratoconus

Although the deep root causes of Keratoconus Dubai is unclear, genetics of a person may play a role. Other causes that could lead to a person with Keratoconus eye includes:

• Over exposure to ultraviolet rays
• Excessive eye rubbing
• History of frequent refractive correction changes (poorly fitted eye contacts, eyeglass
corrections)
• Chronic eye irritation
• Imbalance of enzymes within the cornea

Symptoms

Keratoconus Dubai is not associated with acute symptoms or redness. There are various eye clinics Dubai offering professional Keratoconus treatments as the disease may be left undetected for prolong periods. Some of the common symptoms, which may lead to Keratoconus, include:

• With the irregularity in the shape of the cornea, it may cause nearsightedness or
astigmatism
• Sensitivity to light
• Report of multiple images or ghostly images
• Eye strain
• Blurred vision
• Intolerance to glare
• Itching and eye irritation

Treatments

The treatment of Keratoconus depends on the degree of severity. Eye surgery Dubai for Keratoconus treatment has become an option only if other possible treatments fail.

• Custom soft contact lenses – There are specially designed contact lenses, which are based on the detailed measurement of the Keratoconus eye(s). This form of contact lenses is capable of correcting mild to moderate Keratoconus.

• Intacs – A process of placing tiny plastic inserts just under the eye’s surface (periphery of the cornea). These corneal inserts (intacs) helps to re-shape the cornea for clearer visions by flattening the steep cornea.

• Corneal cross-linking – A common treatment in eye clinics Dubai is a procedure that strengthens the corneal tissue to halt the protrusion of the eye’s surface. A successful corneal cross-linking reduces the option of corneal implants. There are two types of cross-linking
o Epithelium-off cross linking is removing the outer portion of the cornea (epithelium) to enter a type of vitamin B (riboflavin) through a UV light
o Epithelium-on cross linking is leaving the cornea intact and offering more time for the riboflavin to permeate into the cornea.
