One eye may be looking straight ahead while the other is turned inward, outward etc. Muscles of the eyes control the movements of the eyes. If one muscle is tougher than the other, the eye will be turned in that direction. This is how a squint eye condition is formed. One has to weaken the stronger muscle and strengthen the weaker muscle to treat this.

There are different reasons for squint eyes and it does to run in families. It may be caused by severe farsightedness that has been untreated in some cases. Substantial head trauma may also be the reason for squint eyes, as it can affect that portion of the brain which controls the muscles of the eye.

Better Life Through Better Vision

Glaucoma is a condition which causes damage to the eye’s optic nerve and gets worse with time. It's often linked to a build up of pressure inside the eye.

Causes Of Glaucoma
It is the result of high fluid pressure inside the eye. This happens when the liquid in the front part of the eye doesn't circulate the way it should.
Normally, a fluid called aqueous humor, flows out of the eye through a mesh-like channel. If this channel gets blocked, the liquid builds up. That’s what causes glaucoma.
Less common causes include a blunt or chemical injury in the eye, severe eye infection, blocked and constricted blood vessels inside the eye and various inflammatory conditions. It mostly affects both the eyes, but it may be worse in one than the other.

Who is affected by Glaucoma?

It usually affects adults over the age of 40, but teenagers, children and even infants can be affected by it. The probable of getting glaucoma are:

• 40 years of age and above
• Family history of glaucoma
• Having poor and blurred vision
• Suffering from diabetes
• Intake of certain steroid medicines
• Trauma to the eyes

Symptoms of Glaucoma
The following are the symptoms of glaucoma:

• Seeing halos around lights
• Vision loss
• Redness in the eye
• Eye that looks hazy
• Nausea and vomiting
• Severe eye pain
• Narrowed vision

How is Glaucoma treated?
There are three ways to treat glaucoma. They are:
Eye drops- These either reduce the formation of fluid in the eye or increase its outflow. Side effects may include allergies, redness, stinging, blurred vision, and irritated eyes. Some glaucoma drugs may affect your heart and lungs.
Laser surgery- This procedure can slightly increase the flow of the fluid from the eye for people with open-angle glaucoma. It can stop fluid blockage if you have angle-closure glaucoma.
Microsurgery- In a procedure called a trabeculectomy, the doctor creates a new channel to drain the fluid and ease eye pressure.

LASIK Surgery : Say Goodbye to Lenses

LASIK Surgery is a refractive surgery. While performing the procedure, an eye surgeon creates a flap in the cornea and uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct refractive error problems in the eye. LASIK is more appropriate for the people who have a moderate degree of refractive error causing;

• Nearsightedness in which nearby objects are visible but distant objects are blurry
• Farsightedness in which nearby objects are blurry but distant objects are clear
• Astigmatism causes overall blurred vision

The surgical success depends on the careful evaluation of eyes before the surgery and LASIK gives freedom from glasses and lenses.

LASIK is Laser Assisted Insitu Keratomileusis which is a Painless Treatment with faster recovery. The usage of EX500 Excimer laser gives the best results. Anybody who is above 18 years with healthy eyes and stable vision at least for one year is eligible to get performed with LASIK treatment. High powers such as -15, autoimmune disease and pregnancy patients are not fit for LASIK.
 

LASIK procedure
 

It is a day care treatment performed under local anesthesia. The patients will be advised to undergo a preliminary eye examination and measurements are taken to create a unique treatment profile for each individual. Anesthetist numbs the eyes by drops and a flap is created on the cornea which gently lifted back to expose the treatment area. Using the light energy the cornea is reshaped precisely. Soon after the surgery, the flap is repositioned to form a natural bandage and the healing begins. This procedure does not involve any pain, sutures or bandages and the following day the patient can resume normal activities.

Some of the vision problems arise congenitally, due to injury and aging. However, timely treatment is necessary to save our blessed vision. In this article, we pursue about cataract and its advanced surgical procedure.

Formation of a clouding in the lens is called a Cataract. Lens work like a lens of a camera which is behind the iris, focusing light images on the retina that sends images to the brain. A Cataract makes the images blurred, dull and vision difficulty at the night time. There is no preventive care for cataract. The reasons for cataract would be eye injury, side effects of some medications. A statistic shows that 70% of the people with more than 75 years are affected by cataract. Cataract surgery is performed with many modern techniques. It is actually breaking the clouding into small pieces and replacing with the lens.

LASIK EYE SURGERY

A type of refractive surgery using a laser to correct Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism can be termed as LASIK or more commonly as Laser Eye Surgery. The correction basically aims at reconfiguring cornea, to rebuild visual acuity by sharpening the retinal focus within the eye. The defect incepts when there is an error in refraction of light. 

It can be due to some anomalies in the shape of eyeball or cornea. Short for laser in-situ keratomilusis, the surgery is employed as a permanent alternative to eyeglasses or contact lenses. In recent years, tremendous advancement have been made in this field.

OPERATIVE PROCEDURE

A narrow, round shaped flap is created by some surgical tool. The cornea tissue beneath, visible after folding the flap, is removed at microscopic amounts by using an ultraviolet light beam coming off the highly specialised laser system. Cornea is either flattened or steepened according to the defect experienced by the patient. After this, the flap is carefully laid back to its position, which adheres gradually and healed.

PRE CAUTIONS

Adequate measures are taken to keep your eyes wide open like applying numbing drops to get the eyes in a relaxing posture. Also blinking of eyes is restricted by making use of a small device which holds eyelids tight. Further the excimer laser uses an eye tracking system which corrects the position of your eye for any delicate involuntary movements.
