Retina Lasers and Surgery
Our eyes function as a camera. When we look at something the image passes through the cornea, adjusted for focus through the lensand displayed on Retina. This is positioned at the back of our eyes and part of our central nervous system. Retina then sends the information to our brain through the optic nerve where the image is processed.
Poor functioning or damage to any of these structures can lead to forever blindness if NOT treated on TIME.
Who needs Retinal treatment?
Retinal diseases are difficult to be identified easily because your eyes and vision will appear to be perfect while there is some problem in your retina at back your eyes. Ignored retinal problems might even potentially end up blinded eyes.
Diabetic/High blood pressure patients
Diabetics or high blood pressure could cause problems in blood vessels and circulation of blood in any part of the body. Retina is not an exception. It can make retina to swell and affect its function and make the vision blur. For some patients, new blood vessels form to substitute what were closed due to blood blockages and these tend to be so immature which can result in spontaneously bleeding, possibly ending up in a sudden loss of vision.
Age-related macular degeneration
Aging makes the eyes dry or wet, depending on the person.
In wet type, retina at times swells with blood and fluid causing vision problems. It is commonly heard our elders complain about poor eyesight and this is due to such changes.
This is due to the damage in the tiny central point in retina which displays the image.
One with dry eye would notice yellowish spots in and around the macula and these are symptoms of weakening tissue. Although dry eye condition is worse than wet eye condition, untreated might bring vision loss.
