Macular grid laser

The center of the retina is called the macula (light sensitive layer at the back of the eye). Reading, doing close work, and recognizing faces all require precise and fine center vision, which is provided by the macula. Fine blood veins in the retina can get damaged and begin to leak fluid under a variety […]

Ocular lymphoma

Cellular alterations in some persons may make them more likely to develop eye cancer. One type of cancer that can affect the eye is lymphoma. Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) is one kind of eye cancer. Both the retina and the vitreous within the eye are capable of developing PIOL. The optic nerve in the back of […]

Lattice degeneration is a thinning of the retina that happens over time.  Lattice degeneration affects 1 in 10 people, or about 10% of the population. Clear vision depends on a healthy retina, yet most people with this issue never experience any symptoms or visual loss. Retinal detachment from lattice degeneration is extremely uncommon. Those who […]

High eye pressure

Increased intraocular pressure can result in a variety of eye-related issues as well as serious conditions like glaucoma. This increased pressure has the potential to harm the optic nerve, resulting in serious vision issues and eventual blindness. Because of this, it is crucial to keep the eye pressure within a normal range.  Ocular hypertension, also […]

Giant cell arteritis

An inflammation (swelling) of the arteries, the blood channels that transfer blood away from the heart, is known as giant cell arteritis (GCA). The blood flow via arteries is decreased when they swell. The arteries in the arms, upper body, and neck are impacted by GCA. Because it affects the head, it is also known […]

Ghost cell glaucoma

A long-lasting vitreous hemorrhage can cause a kind of secondary glaucoma called ghost cell glaucoma (GCG). The trabecular meshwork is blocked by the hard and less flexible ghost cells, which also raises the pressure inside the eyes. When using a slit light to examine the aqueous humor, numerous tiny cells may be visible. The intraocular […]

Filamentary keratitis

A persistent condition known as filamentary keratitis causes adherent filaments of mucus and corneal epithelium to form on the corneal surface.

Eye vision and pregnancy

Due to fluid retention, increased blood volume, hormonal changes, and other physiologic changes associated with pregnancy, eyes may vary slightly throughout pregnancy. These alterations typically disappear once the baby is born or after weaning a breastfed child. Minor changes in vision typically do not necessitate a new prescription for glasses. Hence, a woman should not get […]

Eye twitch

An eye twitch is an uncontrollable eyelid or eye muscle spasm or movement. Your physician may diagnose it as blepharospasm. Your upper eyelid is more likely to experience it. Every few seconds, and usually only for a minute or two, the lid moves. Eye twitches can be found in three different kinds. Small eyelid twitches […]
