Hemangioma
Hemangiomas are benign (non-cancerous) tumours brought on by a typical blood vessel development. Hemangiomas can appear everywhere on the body, but the face and neck are where they most frequently appear. Hemangiomas can be present before birth, however they typically initially show up in the first six months of life. Hemangiomas are of two different […]
Bell’s palsy
Bell’s palsy is a neurological condition that affects the facial muscles. The muscles on one side of your face become weak or even partially paralysed as a result. Your eyelid may not close completely if you have Bell’s palsy, and your smile may look uneven. Only adults typically experience Bell’s palsy. People with diabetes, expectant […]
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 […]
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 […]
Sickle Cell Retinopathy
A series of blood abnormalities that result in the breakdown and misformation of red blood cells, is sickle cell disease. Sickle cell retinpathy occurs when the sickle shaped red blood cells obstructs the blood arteries in the choroid, a thin layer of tissue that is a portion of the middle layer of the wall of […]
