Treating Glaucoma in Dubai

Glaucoma... This is a word which can strike terror in the hearts of most people. Why is it so? Glaucoma can strike quite quickly without any warning. It can make a person lose sight completely over a short period of time, and though it could be controlled with proper care, it cannot be completely cured.

The danger associated with glaucoma is that sometimes, there is no warning. Some people may not experience any symptoms at all and might think their eyes and vision are perfectly normal. Some people may find their vision in one eye deteriorating. They may experience tunnel vision or the loss of peripheral vision which may prevent them from seeing what is in the sides while they continue to see well what is on the centre of their line of vision.

Glaucoma - the causes

How does glaucoma happen? It would be helpful to know the reasons, to minimise one's chances of getting it. There is a layer of cells behind the eye's iris which produce a fluid. If this fluid cannot be properly drained away or if there is too much fluid produced, it would cause the eye pressure to rise. This rising pressure starts creating strain on the optic nerve, which may see damage in the process.

Acute glaucoma can be very painful and quick, with the liquid in the eyes becoming completely blocked. Nausea and vomiting may also occur at these stages. If left untreated, the optic nerve could suffer permanent damage.

Glaucoma is of four main types. The most common is chronic glaucoma; secondary glaucoma occurs when another eye condition causes eye pressure to rise. Developmental or congenital glaucoma is another form which is relatively rare and may affect babies as a result of malformation in the eye.

Tackling glaucoma in the early stages

Glaucoma may be difficult to treat in the latter stages; the reason regular eye tests and visits to one's eye doctor are necessary. This is especially so as one gets older and also if one is suffering from conditions such as diabetes and/or hypertension.

Ebsaar Eye Surgery Center utilises technologies such as OCT Cirrus to detect glaucoma in the early stages. Treatment could be in the form of eye drops, tablets, laser treatment or surgery and are carried out to reduce the pressure in the eyes. Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty is a clinically proven method which treats glaucoma by safely and effectively reducing intraocular pressure during a single, one-day  procedure.

Eye drops may be prescribed for chronic glaucoma to reduce the amount of fluid in the eye and improve drainage.  However, acute glaucoma may call for immediate treatment in a hospital with drugs administered to reduce the pain and pressure while laser treatment or minor surgery may also be needed.

OptiLASIK Laser is the Future of Eye Care

Eyes are an important part of the body for many. For people who have had the blessing of seeing the world from birth, would not be able to imagine living without their eyesight. From seeing the beautiful world around us, to reading to gain knowledge and to even avoid potential dangerous situations, one cannot imagine living with their eyesight says the  Eye Surgery Center Dubai. 

But with age, eyesight problems that develop, becomes unavoidable. Corrective measures need to be taken by many people at some point in their lives to maintain their eyesight. Many treatments undertaken may never give back a person's eyesight as it was before, but for many something is always better than nothing, especially when it comes to something as important as eyesight. 

Eye Surgery Dubai is well known for their vision correction solutions. Being a fully equipped clinic, they specialize in surgical procedures for preserving eye sight. They  are proud of their team of doctors with more than 3 decades of experience who have been a part of the development of cataract and LASIK Surgery in Dubai. They understand the importance of this delicate body part better than anyone else and strive to provide the best care possible for the clients. 

The experts at the Clinic, always rely on the best technologies to treat their patients.  OptiLASIK UAE is the newest technology which can be used to treat many disorders in the eyes. In the past, LASIK, which stands for Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis was the same for everyone, even though each ones eye's are unique.  It is known as a refractive surgery done by using laser and has proven results in correcting hyperopia, astigmatism and myopia.  This treatment provided by the Ebsaar team is similar to the surgical treatments carried out for corrective measures like keratectomy and photorefractive. But this method allows patients to recover faster. LASIK is a surgical treatment, used to correct vision problems and allows patients to maintain a good eyesight without corrective contact lenses or eyeglasses. A technique which was first introduced around the 1950s now have greatly improved and provides more reliable results thanks to new technologies like larger spot areas, faster lasers, flap incisions without blades, intraoperative pachymetry, etc. However, LASIK will simply corrected your vision based on your current glasses or contact lens prescription and it may not be suitable for all. All candidates are taken through a series of questions and tests to analyze if they are suitable for the treatment. 

However, OptiLASIK is much more advanced than that. It uses the innovative diagnostic technology of the Allegretto Wave® Eye-Q Laser System to create a detailed “map” of the patient's eyes. By using this map the eye surgeon is able to personalize the LASIK procedure for the best results, quickly and safely. And because OptiLASIK is so precise and accurate, it paves the way for many people with myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, who were not previously eligible for LASIK. The OptiLASIK treatment has been used successfully on many patient's and is a safe treatment option.

LASIK Treatment in UAE For Young People

The Eye Clinic in Dubai says that vision begins to decline with age, due to a combination of the normal aging process and common age related vision problem such as glaucoma or cataracts. However, aging-seniors, are not the only people at the receiving end of treatment to improve their vision, many people of all ages and sizes, even toddlers, to teenagers, to young adults, find that they may need the assistance of prescription lenses to see to their best ability.

Unlike seniors who would not mind wearing prescription lenses each and every day, young patients may find that wearing prescription lenses often obstruct and get in the way of many of their favorite activities and is a  hindrance to them to lead a comfortable life and have clear vision. For instance, youngsters who participate in sports regularly or like being active outdoors or enjoying summer spending the day by the pool, and worry about contacts and glasses. Therefore, many young people look  for the same solution that adults do to gain a clear vision without the assistance of  LASIK Surgery in Dubai. 

Currently, there is a lot of research that has been conducted on the implications and effectiveness of LASIK surgery for patients who are under the age of 25. However, a recent study suggests that LASIK in UAE is very successful in patients who 25 years old or younger as opposed to older patients. In the research report the younger patients and older patients were monitored on how they reacted to LASIK. The outcome suggested that there were significant results that were observed in younger patients, results that were better than expected or anticipated. 

However, since this type of treatment is still new, especially LASIK Treatment in UAE, there are many studies that have shown that LASIK treatment is very safe and extremely effective in patients who are 25 and over, and also is a successful and effective treatment  for patients who are under the age of 25. Also, because younger patients are more active, vigorous and lively as opposed to aging seniors, older or young adults. LASIK for young adults under the age of 25 is much more practical and is the most obvious choice as opposed to traditional treatment options, especially on the long run. For these patients, having to deal with LASIK surgery early on in life, means that they have less time to deal with the discomfort, hassle and expenses of prescription lenses and the impact it has on the quality of their life at a later stage. 

For instance, young patients are prone to be more likely to use contact lenses and sleep in their contacts or have glasses interfere with their overall look and lifestyle, so LASIK treatment makes more sense for the individual. 

Age certainly does influences a patient's LASIK candidacy, but it by no means draws an absolute boundary. If you are young or an aging citizen who is in good health, have a consistent prescription and considering LASIK treatment, meet with an eye care surgeon to assess your eligibility and options.

LASIK Dubai

Dr. Hani Sakla is a qualified and experienced ophthalmologist who conducts LASIK surgery in Dubai at Ebsaar Eye Surgery and Vision Correction Solution. Ebsaar is clinic dedicated eye and vision care hospital staffed by UAE’s best eye doctors, eye care optometrists, and opticians. We offer the full range of eye care services, allowing every patient the comfort and security in knowing they are in the best hands.

LASIK Surgery Dubai is one of our prime eye care treatments offered by this clinic. LASIK is a revolutionary eye surgery that re-adjusts your vision reversing the damage that generally occurs while you age. The eyes do not have a standard timeline for how long they are able to help you see clearly, and when they start depreciating. In most cases, and even in families, a parent may notice depreciating vision at the age of 40, whilst the same may occur to the 10 year old son. Your eyes are quite the delicate part of your sensory system, and the location of the eyes means they are susceptible to strain and environmental damage. It is no surprise then that the sun’s UV rays and regular viewing of screens and monitors physically alters the soft surfaces of the eyes, changing the way you see.

Each part of the eye is soft and mostly rounded to refract light from your environment. The cornea, which lies right in the front and is the clear dome shaped section in the front, can lose its smooth surface distorting your vision. This is where LASIK treatment Dubai can help. LASIK Dubai aims to return the corneal surface to its original shape by removing the miniature bumps and ridges that may have formed over time. The results of LASIK can vary, but about nine of 10 patients report a complete return of vision.

Like any surgery, LASIK surgery begins like any other surgery, with anesthesia. In the case of LASIK, you will be given numbing eye drops, which will take effect almost immediately. Your eye surgeon will give it some time before beginning, which is generally around 15 minutes. Once the eye drops have taken effect, your eye surgeon will use soft speculum hold your eye lids apart, and stop them from blinking. This will not cause you any pain at all, and you should be quite comfortable during the surgery.

The next step will have your eye doctor, removing the soft protective flap from over the cornea. The flap is much like clear skin, protecting your eyes from dust and germs. Removing the flap will expose the cornea which is the area that your doctor will surgically alter to improve vision.

The surgery is done using computer precision allowing your eye surgeon to remove a specified number of cells from the surface of the cornea. The computer aided LASIK tip is capable of restoring your vision to 90% of accuracy. Once the cornea is reshaped, the flap will be replaced after a gentle eye wash. The flap heals on its own, and the entire procedure only takes about 30 minutes.

Your eyes will feel red and irritated immediately, and it is best that you take the day off to rest your eyes for at least two days. You will be able to function with limited vision the very next day, and your vision will continue to improve in the days/weeks to come. You will need follow up visits with your eye surgeon regularly to ensure your eye is healing correctly and vision is returning correctly.

LASIK Treatment UAE has come a long way in helping to improve the lives of residents by reshaping, and restoring lost vision. Your eyes and sight are the most precious sensory stimulant you are blessed with, and we are here to ensure that you receive only the best vision care in Dubai.

Astigmatism Dubai

Astigmatism is a common eye condition sometimes present at birth and sometimes is a result of injury or other eye diseases. It is a physical disfigurement of the eye’s surface causing blurred vision. The condition is identified by the absence of a smooth curvature of the cornea or lens. The rough surface causes a person’s vision to become distorted and inaccurate.

Valleys and peaks will be present on the cornea or the lens. The unevenness displaces light improperly away from the retina, which causes vision to become distorted and unclear. The condition is not worsened by a person’s life style, and therefore contrary to popular belief, reading into the night or watching a lot of television has no effect on the disease.

Astigmatism causes other symptoms too. Eyestrain, headaches, and bad vision. These symptoms are common with other refractive errors such as near and farsightedness, and hence goes undetected until an optometrist or an ophthalmologist examines the eye. If caught early, mild forms of Astigmatism is corrected with specially made glasses or contact lenses.

There are two types of Astigmatism, one that affects the cornea, and the other that affects the lens of the eye. As it would be understood, it is easier to treat corneal astigmatism than it is to treat Lenticular Astigmatism with external corrective measures. LASIK surgery Dubai, would be more suited for treating the latter.  

The eyes are meant to have smooth perfectly rounded surfaces without abnormal shapes or structures to refract light on to the retina properly. Light beams reaching elsewhere is not detected by the optic nerve. When the cornea or lens presents steeper ridges and low-lying valleys, similar to what a scoop of ice cream looks like, it will distort a person’s vision immensely.

Rigid contact lenses are more effective in treating corneal astigmatism, as they are hard and force the imperfections into a smooth curved shape. Prescription glasses counteract blurred vision, and a combination of glasses and rigid contact lenses, will see the condition improve. Astigmatism is a physical disfigurement of the eye and therefore corrective eye surgery is able to give immediate results to patients.

Astigmatism is diagnosed by an eye doctor using a Kerotoscope; a device that measures the orientation of the refracted light. Once the diagnosis is complete, it will be up to the patient to decide the preferred method of treatment based on the Doctors advice.

Ebsaar provides all types of treatment for this common eye condition from corrective glasses, contact lenses, and LASIK Surgery in Dubai. If astigmatism causes severe blurred or distorted vision hampering normal daily activities even with glasses, LASIK surgery is able to remove the disfigurements present on the cornea and lens, reversing refractive error. LASIK surgery is now considered one of the most trusted and safe eye treatment options for various visual conditions.

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.
