Eye Injection
You might feel uneasy about the idea of getting an injection in your eye if your ophthalmologist recommends it. These injections, known as “intravitreal,” administer medicine straight into your eyeball to treat problems like diabetic eye disease, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal vein occlusion. Many patients report seeing better after receiving medication injections, which are […]
Eye Dominance
The tendency to prefer visual information from one eye to the other is known as ocular dominance and is sometimes referred to as eye preference or eyedness. It is comparable to the laterality of right- or left-handedness, although the dominant eye’s side and the dominant hand’s side are not necessarily the same. This is due […]
Excessive blinking in Children
Parents frequently question whether they need to be concerned about their child’s excessive blinking. Although this symptom is usually not cause for concern, if your child blinks frequently or exhibits other worrying signs, you should take them to the doctor. Rarely, excessive blinking can indicate a neurological condition or cause vision loss. Four main reasons […]
Drusen
Under the retina are yellow deposits called drusen. Lipids and proteins make up Drusen. Drusen probably do not lead to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, drusen can be a symptom of AMD and increase a person’s chance of developing it. Drusen come in several forms. Small drusen may not cause vision problems for a long time, if […]
Dacryoadenitis
Lacrimal gland (tear glands) inflammation is known as dacryoadenitis. Behind the upper outer corner of each of your eyes is a lacrimal gland. They function as a component of your tear system and produce tears. Each gland is roughly the size of an almond. One of your lacrimal glands will swell if something irritates it. […]
Cytomegalovirus Retinitis
Cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMV retinitis) is a dander viral eye infection of the retina which affects the eyes. The light-sensing nerve layer that lines the back of the eye is known as the retina. Most frequently, those with compromised immune systems develop CMV retinitis. Floaters and blurred vision may slowly start to appear as CMV retinitis symptoms […]
Cerebrospinal Fluid (Cfs)
Your brain and spinal cord have a surrounding protective layer of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF contains nutrients that your brain can use. The CSF layer also supports and cushions your brain and spinal cord from sudden movements. A grape in a jar would experience a similar effect as the brain. The grape will be bruised […]
Contact Lens
If you do not properly clean, disinfect, and store your contact lenses, you could develop a dangerous eye infection. Pay close attention to the directions given by your eye doctor. Your eye can become scratched by contact lenses that are too old or don’t fit properly. They can also result in blood vessels growing into […]
Cluster Headaches
One of the most painful types of headaches are cluster headaches, which manifest in cyclical patterns or cluster periods. You may experience severe pain in or near one eye on one side of your head during a cluster headache, which frequently wakes you up in the middle of the night. Cluster periods, also known as […]
Botox
A bacterium that causes botulism produces the toxin known as botulinum toxin, or Botox, which temporarily paralyzes muscles. In its day, this toxin underwent purification so that it might be applied therapeutically. It is utilized in several specialized fields of medicine, including ophthalmology, neurology, and aesthetics. In ophthalmology, we utilize it to treat certain pathologies […]
