Dry Eyes Treatment In Ghatkopar A  dry eye  is an uncomfortable and painful condition. It can be understood as an inadequate production of tears leading to dryness of eyes. Dry eyes make you more susceptible to bacterial infections and trauma due to reduced lubrication over the cornea. As tear film is very thin, reading, writing and watching becomes very uncomfortable. Role of tears Blinking makes your eyes moist every time and keeps the corneal surface smooth and clean. Tear film contains a combination of oil, water and mucous. Outermost layer is made up of oil as it prevents tear from drying. Second layer (water) comes from lacrimal gland and made up of mostly water as main content. Water washes away any dirt and unwanted particles from the eye to keep it clean. Inner most layer is made up of mucus and formed in conjunctiva, due to this layer tears don’t stick to eyes. In general we see with any irritant, our eyes protective response is to produce tears but in few local and ...

  Cataract Surgery In Ghatkopar Cataract surgery is replacing the faulty lens with an artificial lens. It’s a common and safe procedure done by ophthalmologist when you are having cloudy vision.

Cataract is progressive in nature and develops with time you grow older. Cataract affects most of people and becomes prominent with age. It can be described as blurry, cloudy or opaque vision. Natural eye lens focuses light on the retina to form clear and undistorted image. Clouding of this lens results in blurred and distorted image. It commonly affects both eyes but in few cases one eye cataract might advances rapidly. If not treated on time, may result is complete loss of sight.

  Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment In Ghatkopar Diabetic retinopathy  is a form of eye disease caused by chronically high or variable blood sugar that is associated with diabetes. If left untreated,  diabetic retinopathy  can lead to vision loss and blindness. The condition develops slowly throughout many years; therefore, it is essential to undergo regular eye tests when you have Diabetes.  Retinopathy  is basically impaired blood vessels in the retina which is the thin inner light-sensitive layer situated in the back of the eyes. In some cases, these vessels will swell up (macular oedema) and leak fluid into the rear of the eye. In other cases, abnormal blood vessels will grow on the surface of the retina. Diabetic retinopathy occurs in three stages: Background retinopathy -  Background retinopathy is said to occur if you have developed microaneurysms on your retina. Microaneurysms are when there is a swelling of the capillaries (very small blood vesse...

  Corneal Dystrophy Corneal distrophies are a group of rare and genetic diseases affecting the cornea. It runs in a families and may be present asymptomatic. They affect both the eyes and other parts of the families are not involved. Main cause of  corneal dystrophies  is foreign material build up in the cornea and that results in clouding of cornea and visual impairment. The cornea is made up of five distinct layers: The Epithelium -  the outermost, protective layer of the cornea. The Bowman's membrane -  this second layer is extremely tough and difficult to penetrate further protecting the eye The Stroma -  the thickest layer of the cornea, consisting of water, collagen fibers and other connective tissue components that give the cornea its strength, elasticity and clarity. Descemet's Layer -  a thin, strong inner layer that also acts as a protective layer. The Endothelium -  the innermost layer consisting of specialized cells that pump excess wa...

Keratoconus Treatment In Ghatkopar Keratoconus is a vision disorder that occurs when the normally round cornea (the front part of the eye) becomes thin and irregular (cone) shaped. This abnormal shape prevents the light entering the eye from being focused correctly on the  retina  and causes distortion of vision. It is characterized by para-central corneal thinning and ectasia so that the cornea takes the shape of a cone. Visual loss occurs primarily from myopia and irregular astigmatism and secondarily from corneal scarring.  Keratoconus  often begins at puberty and most often is seen in teenagers or young adults. Keratoconus  causes distorted vision that cannot be corrected with eyeglasses. Tiny fibers of protein in your eye called collagen help hold your cornea in place. When these fibers get weak, they can’t hold their shape. Your cornea gets more and more cone-like. It happens when you don’t have enough protective antioxidants in your cornea. Its cells prod...
