What Is a Nevus?
An ordinary, colourful growth on or in your eye is known as a nevus. It resembles a mole on your skin and is occasionally referred to as an eye freckle. A nevus (plural: nevi) can be found under the retina in the rear of the eye, around the iris, or in the front of the […]
Ptosis
When the top eyelid hangs over the pupil, it is called ptosis. The eyelid may droop slightly or a lot, covering the pupil (the black dot at the centre of your eye that lets light in). Normal vision may be partially or fully obscured by ptosis. Ptosis can affect both adults and children. Fortunately, there […]
Laser peripheral iridotomy
Angle-closure glaucoma patients may undergo laser peripheral iridotomy as part of their treatment plan or as a prophylactic intervention for those who are at risk of developing the condition. Angle-closure is the medical term for a narrowing of the eye’s drainage canal that causes an increase in intraocular pressure. This elevated intraocular pressure has been […]
Kamra Inlay
The first corneal inlay for vision correction surgery in the United States to receive FDA approval is KAMRA. Presbyopia is a common age-related vision issue that is treated by corneal inlays, commonly known as corneal implants. The nearsightedness caused by this ailment makes it challenging to read close-up text in a book or on a […]
Corneal Inlay
A corneal inlay is a tiny device, smaller than the width of an eraser tip. A laser is used to cut a tiny pocket or flap in the centre of the cornea of the non-dominant eye during a 10- to 15-minute procedure. Depending on the inlay being used, it is then put into or beneath […]
Trichiasis
Trichiasis is a common problem with the eyelids. Eyelashes grow inward. The lashes rub against the cornea, the conjunctiva, and the inner surface of the eyelids. This irritates the eye. Trichiasis can occur occasionally with no known cause. Trichiasis can strike anyone, however, adults are more prone to it. Trichiasis is more likely to occur if […]
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Children under the age of 16 are more vulnerable to the inflammatory joint disease known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). JIA is an autoimmune disease. In JIA, white blood cells assault the body’s healthy joints (the cells that normally fight disease). The joints get inflamed as a result. It can make walking difficult. Other typical […]
Interferons
Your body contains proteins called interferons. They are created by your body’s immunological system. The way interferon drugs operate is by enhancing your immune system. They combat diseases like cancer, bacteria, and viruses. Hepatitis C, hepatitis B, human papillomavirus (HPV) health issues, multiple sclerosis (MS), melanoma and other malignancies, AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma, and some types […]
Hyphaema
Blood accumulating inside the front of the eye is known as a hyphema. This occurs between the iris (the coloured part of the eye) and the cornea (the transparent window with a dome shape at the front of the eye). The iris and pupil may be partially or completely covered in blood (the round, dark circle […]
Cornea laceration
The cornea is the eye’s crystal-clear front window. A cut on the cornea is known as a corneal laceration. Usually, it is brought on by something sharp flying into the eye. Another factor that can trigger it is a strong object, such a metallic hand tool, impacting the eye. A corneal laceration, which can partially […]
