SPECIALISED IN

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetes. It affects blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of your eye).

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an eye condition that damages the optic nerve. This damage can lead to vision loss or blindness. The optic nerve sends visual information from your eye to the brain and is vital for good vision. Damage to the optic nerve is often related to high pressure in the eye. But glaucoma can happen even with typical eye pressure.

Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is an eye disease that affects central vision. This means that people with macular degeneration can’t see things directly in front of them. This common age-related eye condition mostly occurs in people over the age of 50.

Macular degeneration affects your macula, the central part of your retina. Your retina is in the back of your eye and controls central vision. People with macular degeneration aren’t completely blind. Their peripheral vision (ability to see things off to the sides) is fine.

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

Central serous chorioretinopathy is when fluid builds up under the retina. This can distort vision. The fluid leakage comes from a layer of tissue under the retina, called the choroid. The layer of cells between retina and choroid is called the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). When RPE does not work as it should, fluid builds up under the retina or the RPE resulting in a small detachment and visual distortion. It usually  affects just one eye at a time, but both eyes can be affected at the same time.

Retinitis Pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of rare eye diseases that affect the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of the eye). RP makes cells in the retina break down slowly over time, causing vision loss.

RP is a genetic disease that people are born with. Symptoms usually start in childhood, and most people eventually lose most of their sight.

There’s no cure for RP. But vision aids and rehabilitation (training) programs can help people with RP make the most of their vision.

Uveitis

Uveitis is inflammation inside your eye. Inflammation usually happens when your immune system is fighting an infection. Sometimes uveitis means your immune system is fighting an eye infection — but it can also happen when your immune system attacks healthy tissue in your eyes. Uveitis can cause problems like pain, redness, and vision loss.

Uveitis damages the part of the eye called the uvea — but it often affects other parts of the eye, too. Sometimes uveitis goes away quickly, but it can come back. And sometimes it’s a chronic (long-term) condition. It can affect 1 eye or both eyes.

Uveitis can cause vision loss if it isn’t treated — so it’s important to see your eye doctor right away if you have symptoms.

Progressive Myopia

Progressive myopia is near-sightedness that worsens year after year in childhood. If myopia progresses enough, it can become high myopia, which is severe near-sightedness. High myopia increases a child’s risk of developing several sight-threatening complications in adulthood.

Myopia progression usually occurs during childhood and adolescence. However, it can also continue into early adulthood.

Near-sightedness is often caused by the eyeballs growing a little too long from front to back. In some people, this growth continues, so the myopia continues to get worse.

It isn’t fully understood why only some near-sighted children develop progressive myopia. But evidence points to clear links between myopia development , time spent outdoors and near-work activities.

Macular Edema

Macular edema is swelling in part of the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of your eye). People with macular edema may have blurry vision, but treatment can help reduce the swelling and prevent vision loss.

Macular edema happens when blood vessels leak into a part of the retina called the macula. This makes the macula swell, causing blurry vision.

Diabetic retinopathy
People with diabetes can have a disease called diabetic retinopathy. In this the blood vessels in the retina are damaged by high blood sugar level.Initially no symptoms occur, if the blood sugar is not controlled blood vessels in retina bleeds and the vision is affected seriously

Glaucoma
This eye disease damages the optic nerve. When fluid increases in the front part of the eye, the extra fluid increases the eye pressure and it damages the optic nerve
