CATARACT & IOL Cataract Cataract is opacification of the normally clear lens of eye. Most commonly, it develops with age. Other causes can be post uveitis, trauma to the eye, childhood cataracts, metabolic diseases etc. Cataracts often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. When to go ahead for Cataract Surgery? Once you find it difficult to do your routine day to day activities such as driving, watching television, reading books etc, consider getting an appointment with an eye doctor.

GLAUCOMA TREATMENT What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure or IOP). If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss—even blindness. Goal of Treatment The goal is to lower eye pressure (IOP) to prevent or slow down damage to the optic nerve and preserve your vision. Glaucoma damage cannot be reversed, but it can be slowed or stopped. Treatment is lifelong. Success depends on early detection, routine care, and medication adherence. Monitoring & Lifestyle Get regular eye exams (every 3–12 months depending on severity). Take medications daily—even if your vision feels fine. Tell your doctor about other health conditions (e.g., diabetes, blood pressure). Stay active, eat healthy, and avoid activities that can increase eye pressure (like heavy lifting or yoga with head-down positions). 1. Medications (Eye Drops) Most people start with eye drops. These help reduce the pressure inside your eye. 2. Laser Treatments Laser treatments can lower eye pressure by improving fluid drainage. Types: SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty): For open-angle glaucoma. Laser Iridotomy: For angle-closure glaucoma (makes a tiny hole in the iris). ( done in the doctor’s office, with little or no pain. ) 3. Surgery If drops and laser are not enough, surgery may be needed. Surgical Options: Trabeculectomy: Creates a new drainage channel. Glaucoma Drainage Implants (Shunts): Help fluid drain out of the eye. MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery): Newer, safer procedures for mild to moderate glaucoma.

COMPUTER VISION SYNDROME What is Computer Vision Syndrome? Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) refers to a group of eye and vision-related problems caused by prolonged use of digital screens, such as: Computers Tablets Smartphones Televisions When you use a screen for long periods, your eyes have to work harder, which can lead to discomfort. Common Symptoms of CVS If you spend 2 or more hours a day in front of a screen, you may experience: Eye strain or discomfort Dry eyes Blurred or double vision Headaches Neck, shoulder, or back pain Difficulty focusing Increased sensitivity to light What Causes CVS? CVS is caused by overuse of the eyes without enough rest. Contributing factors include: Poor lighting Glare on the screen Poor posture Incorrect viewing distance or angle Uncorrected vision problems Reduced blinking while using screens (causing dry eyes) Who is at Risk? Anyone who uses digital devices for long periods, especially: Students Office workers Gamers People working from home How to Prevent and Manage CVS 🕒 Follow the 20-20-20 Rule Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This gives your eyes a rest. 🪑 Set Up an Ergonomic Workspace Keep your screen 20–28 inches away from your eyes Position the screen so that your eyes look slightly downward Use a comfortable chair with back support 💡 Improve Lighting and Reduce Glare Use anti-glare screens Adjust screen brightness and contrast Avoid bright overhead lighting or direct sunlight 👁️ Use Artificial Tears If your eyes feel dry, use lubricating eye drops (ask your doctor for a recommendation). 👓 Wear Proper Eyeglasses If you wear glasses, ask about computer glasses with blue light filters or anti-reflective coating. 💧 Remember to Blink We blink less when looking at screens. Conscious blinking helps prevent dry eyes. 💤 Take Regular Breaks Take short breaks every hour to stand, stretch, and relax your eyes and body. When to See an Eye Doctor See an ophthalmologist if: Symptoms persist despite taking breaks You have blurry vision, frequent headaches, or eye discomfort You need a proper eye exam or prescription adjustment

CONJUNCTIVITIS (PINK EYE) Conjunctivitis , commonly known as "pink eye," is inflammation of the conjunctiva, which is the thin, clear tissue that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelids. It can be caused by a number of factors such as infections, allergies and irritants. Here are some key points about conjunctivitis: Types of conjunctivitis: Infectious conjunctivitis: Caused by bacteria or viral infections. Bacterial conjunctivitis often produces a thick, sticky discharge, while viral conjunctivitis is usually associated with a watery discharge and may be accompanied by cold symptoms. Allergic conjunctivitis: Caused by allergens such as pollen, dust mites or pet dander. It usually causes the eyes to become itchy, red and watery. Irritant conjunctivitis: Caused by irritants such as smoke, pollution or chemicals. This can cause redness and discomfort. Symptoms: Redness of the white part of the eye and the inner eyelids. A watery or mucous discharge from the eye. Itching, burning or gritty feeling in the eyes. Swollen eyelid. Light sensitivity. Sometimes blurred vision. Treatment: Treatment depends on the cause: Infectious conjunctivitis: Bacterial conjunctivitis can be treated with antibiotic eye drops or creams. Viral conjunctivitis usually clears up on its own within a few days or may require some eye drops (after consulting the doctor). Allergic conjunctivitis: Antihistamine eye drops or oral antihistamines can help relieve symptoms. Irritant conjunctivitis: Eliminating or avoiding the irritant is the first step. Artificial tears can help. Applying hot or cold compresses to the eyes can help relieve discomfort. Good hygiene practices, such as avoiding touching the eyes and frequent hand washing, can prevent the spread of infectious conjunctivitis. Precautions: Practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of infectious conjunctivitis. Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes. Wash your hands often, especially after contact with someone who has conjunctivitis. If you have allergies, avoid triggers and use allergy medications as prescribed.

FLOATERS & FLASHES What Are Floaters? Floaters are small shapes that appear to drift across your vision. They may look like: Spots Threads Cobwebs Squiggly lines They are usually most noticeable when looking at a plain, bright background (like a blue sky or white wall). What Are Flashes? Flashes are brief bursts of light in your field of vision. They may look like: Lightning streaks Camera flashes Flickering lights Flashes often occur in the side (peripheral) vision and can be more noticeable in a dark room. What Causes Floaters and Flashes? These symptoms often happen due to changes in the gel-like substance inside your eye, called the vitreous. Common causes include: Aging: As we age, the vitreous shrinks and pulls away from the retina (called a posterior vitreous detachment, or PVD). Eye injury Inflammation inside the eye (uveitis) Diabetic retinopathy After eye surgery Are They Serious? In most cases, floaters and flashes are not serious and are a normal part of aging. BUT—they can sometimes be a warning sign of a retinal tear or detachment, which is a medical emergency. When to See a Doctor Immediately You should contact an eye doctor right away if you experience: A sudden increase in floaters New or more frequent flashes A dark curtain or shadow moving across your vision Sudden loss of vision in one eye These may be signs of a retinal tear or detachment, which needs urgent treatment to prevent permanent vision loss. How Are Floaters & Flashes Diagnosed? Your eye doctor will perform a dilated eye exam to check for any damage to the retina or changes in the vitreous. Treatment Options Most floaters don't need treatment and become less noticeable over time. Flashes related to vitreous changes usually go away on their own. If there’s a retinal tear or detachment, laser treatment or surgery may be needed urgently. Tips for Managing Floaters & Flashes Try not to focus on floaters—they often become less bothersome with time. Wear sunglasses to reduce light sensitivity. Monitor changes in your vision. Keep up with regular eye exams—especially if you're over 50 or have risk factors like nearsightedness or diabetes.

SQUINT & PAEDIATRICS 🧑⚕️ What Is a Squint? A squint, also called strabismus, is a condition where the eyes do not look in the same direction. One eye may turn inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards while the other looks straight ahead. It can happen all the time or only some of the time (intermittently). 👶 Who Gets It? Babies and children (most common) Adults (due to injury, stroke, nerve problems, or eye conditions) 🧠 Causes Poor eye muscle control Nerve problems Refractive errors (need for glasses) Genetic/family history Eye injuries or conditions Neurological conditions 👁️ Symptoms Eyes appear misaligned Double vision Closing or covering one eye to see better Tilting the head to one side Poor depth perception In children: may lead to lazy eye (amblyopia) 🧪 Diagnosis An eye specialist (optometrist or ophthalmologist) will: Examine eye alignment Test vision in both eyes Check eye movement 💊 Treatment Options for Squint Treatment depends on the type, cause, age of the patient, and severity. 1. Glasses Correct refractive errors May help align the eyes, especially in accommodative squint 2. Eye Exercises (Orthoptics) Improve coordination and focus in mild cases Often used with other treatments 3. Patching (Occlusion Therapy) Used for amblyopia (lazy eye) Involves covering the stronger eye to strengthen the weaker one 4. Prism Glasses Help reduce double vision Can help realign vision in small-angle squints 5. Surgery To correct the position of eye muscles Common and often successful May be done in children or adults Multiple surgeries may be needed in some cases 👨👩👧 Support for Parents Early diagnosis is important to avoid long-term vision problems like amblyopia. Squints are treatable, especially if caught early.

LATTICE DEGENERATION OF RETINA What is Lattice Degeneration? Lattice degeneration is a thinning and weakening of the retina — the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that helps you see. It occurs in a crisscross or "lattice" pattern and is most commonly found in the outer edges (peripheral retina) of the eye. Who Gets It? Common in nearsighted people (myopia) Can be found in about 10% of the general population Often develops in both eyes May be hereditary (runs in families) Is It Dangerous? Lattice degeneration by itself usually does not affect vision. However, in some cases, it can increase the risk of: Retinal tears Retinal detachment (a serious condition that may lead to vision loss) Why Does It Matter? Because the retina is thin in lattice areas, it may be more vulnerable to: Small holes or tears Fluid leaking underneath, which can cause a retinal detachment This is why people with lattice degeneration need regular eye exams, especially if they experience symptoms. Symptoms to Watch For Most people with lattice degeneration have no symptoms. But seek immediate care if you notice: Flashes of light New or increased floaters (tiny specks or strings in your vision) A shadow or curtain over part of your vision Sudden decrease in vision These can be signs of a retinal tear or detachment, which needs urgent treatment. Diagnosis Your eye doctor can diagnose lattice degeneration during a dilated eye exam. They may use special lenses and imaging tests to closely examine the retina. Treatment No treatment is needed in most cases — just regular monitoring. Laser treatment or cryotherapy (freezing) may be recommended if: There’s a retinal tear There’s a high risk of retinal detachment You have symptoms or a family history of detachment These treatments aim to seal the retina and prevent further problems. Living with Lattice Degeneration Most people live their whole lives with no issues. Have regular eye exams, especially if you are nearsighted or have a family history of retinal problems. Avoid high-impact activities if advised by your eye doctor. When to Call Your Eye Doctor Seek urgent care if you notice: Flashes of light Sudden floaters Vision loss or changes Any visual disturbance that feels new or unusual
