  Extra Capsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE): is a conventional technique. ECCE requires an incision of 10-12mm The doctor removes the clouded lens in one piece. Multiple stitches are required. Doctor implants a non-foldable lens Phacoemulsification – A Micro Incision Cataract Surgery Phacoemulsification  is latest technology in  Cataract surgery . It is a  micro-incisional stitch less  operation where cataract is  emulsified  by  ultra sound energy, liquefied & sucked through the phacoemulsifier probe.  A foldable intra- ocular lens is then implanted in the eye permanently. Vision restoration is possible in a short period of time & is least traumatic with early rehabilitation & recuperation. Advantages It is Stitchless. Hence healing is very fast. It is done under Topical anaesthesia (by putting drops.) So no need to patch the eye except in special circumstances Vision correction for far & near is possible Patient can get back to work in the shortest possible time For M

Visual acuity:   Checking vision of both eyes unaided and aided with glasses and pin-hole vision to know the improvement as well as to get the general idea about the macular function of the eyes. This will help in prognostic evaluation of visual recovery after   cataract surgery . Intra ocular pressure:  If intra-ocular pressure increases as a secondary to  cataract surgery  is needed to prevent further complications. Slit-lamp examination:  To know the type of  cataract  along with its opacity, morphology and etiology or any associated ocular pathology. Direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy:  for complete retinal evaluation. Dense  cataract  will prevent retinal evaluation and such cases need B-scan for retinal evaluation. A-scan biometry:  To calculate the AL and IOL power for implantation in cases of mature cataract the posterior segment of the eye is evaluated. Optical biometry:  this is an advanced non contact method to measure IOL power. It is patient friendly and highly precise For

  Introduction LASIK is Laser in-situ keratomileusis. It is one of the most popular vision correction surgery for people with vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. It allows a person to be free from glasses and contact lenses. LASIK  has created a remarkable transition in ophthalmic and refractive surgery. LASIK provides quick recovery and with about 98% satisfactory results with 20/20 vision. The results of LASIK have become better and better with time as more advanced technologies have developed. Femtosecond laser in  LASIK surgery  has revolutionized the procedure, offering precise results with ultimate safety without using a blade. Other advanced technologies offer the visual map creation of irregularities to provide customized and precise vision correction outcomes. Applications Of Lasik Surgery Lasik surgery  practised for the treatment of vision problems such as: Nearsightedness It is the condition in which a person cannot

  Introduction Masks have now become a crucial part of our daily life due to the COVID-19 virus. It is one of the critical steps to prevent the spread and transmission of the COVID-19 virus. While the mask is preventing the unwanted spread of the virus, it has also become a problem for millions of glass wearers. Masks annoy glass wearers by inducing fog on the glasses. Foggy glasses are not only troublesome but also dangerous sometimes. Chances of having an accident while driving increase due to foggy glasses. Foggy glasses can cause one to fall or even slip while walking. Why Are Eyeglasses Foggy While Wearing A Mask? There may be a scientific reason behind eyeglasses becoming foggy while wearing a mask. When we inhale air to breathe, the warm air escapes from the top of the mask. The escaped air then lands on the relatively cool surface of the glass and creates fog or condensation (the process of converting vapor into liquid). It forms the thin layer of moisture on the inner surface

  Introduction Presbyopia is a condition of the eye in which there is a gradual loss of the ability of the eye to focus clearly on a nearby object. One may notice presbyopia while holding a book or a newspaper at a normal reading distance to see. Presbyopia is generally an annoying part of ageing that becomes noticeable in the early 40s and becomes worse at the age of 65. Presbyopia can be diagnosed by an eye examination. It can be corrected by eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, people also consider advanced surgery for presbyopia such as PresbyLASIK. It is a quick procedure and requires less recovery time. The good thing about presbyLASIK is that it offers the reversal of the process if the patient does not get expected results. PresbyLASIK  does not get the approval of use from the FDA in the United States, however, it has been practiced for several years in Canada. PRESBYLASIK PresbyLASIK is a surgical correction for presbyopia. It is an advanced form of  LASIK surgery . PresbyL
