OCT in Diabetic Retinopathy: A Game-Changer in Eye Care
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has revolutionized the diagnosis and management of diabetic retinopathy, offering unparalleled precision in detecting and monitoring retinal changes. Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of vision impairment among individuals with diabetes, often progressing silently until significant damage occurs. At The Eye Center – Dr. Mahnaz Naveed Shah & Associates, we utilize […]
The Impact of OCT on Glaucoma Diagnosis and Management
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has significantly transformed the diagnosis and management of glaucoma by providing highly detailed imaging of the optic nerve and retinal structures. As glaucoma is a progressive disease that causes irreversible damage to the optic nerve, early detection and continuous monitoring are crucial in preventing vision loss. At The Eye Center – […]

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has emerged as a transformative tool in modern ophthalmology, providing unparalleled precision in diagnosing and managing a wide range of eye diseases. At The Eye Center – Dr. Mahnaz Naveed Shah & Associates, we employ cutting-edge OCT technology to deliver accurate assessments, ensuring the highest standard of patient care. Understanding OCT: […]
Are There Surgical Options for Glaucoma, and What Are the Risks?
Yes, surgical options are available for glaucoma, particularly for patients whose eye pressure remains uncontrolled despite medications and laser treatments. Surgery aims to enhance fluid drainage from the eye, reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and preventing further optic nerve damage. The choice of procedure depends on the type and severity of glaucoma. Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery […]
Can Glaucoma Be Detected Before Vision Loss Occurs?
Yes, glaucoma can be detected before vision loss occurs through routine eye examinations and specialized diagnostic tests. Since glaucoma often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, regular screenings are essential for early detection and prevention of permanent vision damage. Comprehensive glaucoma testing includes: Tonometry: Measures intraocular pressure (IOP), as high eye pressure is […]
Possible Side Effects of Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure to restore clear vision, but like any surgical intervention, it may have some temporary side effects. Most of these are mild and resolve within a few days or weeks, but it is important to be aware of potential post-surgical symptoms. Common side effects of cataract surgery include […]
Signs That You May Need Cataract Surgery
Cataracts develop gradually, causing a progressive decline in vision. While early cataracts may not significantly impact daily life, worsening symptoms can indicate the need for cataract surgery. Recognizing these signs can help restore clear vision and improve your quality of life. Common signs that you may need cataract surgery include cloudy or blurred vision, increased […]
Recognizing the Signs of Retinal Problems
The retina plays a crucial role in vision by transmitting light signals to the brain. Any damage or disorder affecting the retina can lead to serious vision impairment or even blindness if left untreated. Identifying the early signs of retinal problems is essential for timely diagnosis and effective management. Common symptoms of retinal conditions include […]
Blurry Vision and Retinal Issues
Blurry vision can be a sign of underlying retinal problems, which, if left untreated, may lead to permanent vision impairment. The retina is responsible for processing visual information, and any damage to it can significantly affect your eyesight. Identifying the cause of blurry vision early can help prevent further complications. Common retinal conditions associated with […]
