cataracts Opacify the eye’s natural lens and limit your ability to see clearly. The lens, a transparent structure in your eye, works like the lens in a camera. Just as a foggy camera lens makes everything dim, a cataract makes it hard for you to see clearly.
Cornea is the clear front surface of the eye. It lies directly in front of the iris and pupil, and it allows light to enter the eye.
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases in which the optic nerve is damaged leading to irreversible loss of visual field. The optic nerve damage is caused by the raised intra ocular pressure (IOP) although it may occur with normal IOP (Normal Tension Glaucoma) & even with low IOP (Low Tension Glaucoma). The raised intra ocular pressure (IOP) is caused by the imbalance between the production and drainage of aqueous in the anterior chamber of the eye.
Squint (Strabismus) occurs when the eyes are not accurately aligned and point in different directions while focussing on an object. It is generally known as ‘turned,’ ‘lazy’ or ‘crossed’ eyes.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eyes) occurs when one eye is used less than the other from birth to seven years of age, which leads the brain to prefer the better eye. Rarely, amblyopia may affect both eyes (Isometropic/bilateral amblyopia).
The retina plays a vital role in your vision. It’s a thin tissue that lines the inner surface of the back of the eye. Your retina contains light-sensitive cells that receive information and send it to the brain through the optic nerve, which enables you to see.
An oculoplastic procedure is a type of surgery done around the eyes. You may have this procedure to correct a medical problem or for cosmetic reasons.
