Effective and Affordable Diabetes Eye Treatment Mumbai

Diabetes Mellitus is a disorder of sugar metabolism. The blood sugar levels increase due to deficiency of insulin and if left unattended various body organs are damaged. One of the most commonly affected organ is eye.

HOW CAN DIABETES AFFECT THE EYE?

• REFRACTION :
  As the blood sugar level fluctuate the spectacle power of a diabetic patient changes frequently.
• CATARACT :
  Diabetic patients are more likely to develop early cataract.
• RETINAL DAMAGE :
  The retinal changes seen in diabetic is called as Diabetic Retinopathy.
• GLAUCOMA :
  The new vessels that form on the retina and the angels of the eye cause the intraocular pressure to rise causing irreversible damage to the optic nerve.

Due to the high blood sugar levels the blood vessels of the retina become swollen and leaky. Once the blood seeps out of these leaky blood vessels it deposits in the retina causing it to swell up like a sponge. Retinal swelling causes fall in vision. Changes in the retinal vessels lead to decrease in the oxygen supply to the retina. To meet its oxygen demand newer weak abnormal blood vessels develop on the retina. Since these new vessels are weak they tend to rupture leading to sight threatening complications such as Retinal bleeding, Retinal Detachment and Retinal death.

HOW IS DIABETIC RETINOPATHY DETECTED?

Diabetic Retinopathy is detected by a routine eye examination. It is important to grade the stage of Diabetic Retinopathy in to Early (Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy) or Advanced (Prolifarative Diabetic Retinopathy) to plan the line of treatment.

Clinical examination is further supported by tests like;

• Fundus Flourescein Angiography
• OCT of macula

HOW CAN DIABETIC RETINOPATHY BE TREATED?

The retinologist might suggest any of the following lines of treatment depending on the severity of the disease.

• 

  
  

  Intravitreal injection :
• Retinal Laser Photocoagulation : Retinal laser treatment hels to reduce the oxygen demand of the diseased retina thereby causing the new vessels to shrink and stop further damage to the retina. 2-3 Laser sitting may be required depending on the severity of the retinopathy. After the laser treatment one may experience watering from eyes and mild headache or mild eye ache. These affects are temporary.
• Vitrectomy : This is surgical procedure by which the blood that has laeked in to the vitreous cavity (Eye gel) is cleared. In most patients vision improves by this surgery. One can return home on the same day of surgery. The eye drops and tablets prescribed at the end of the surgery have to be taken regularly for as long as the doctor suggests.

HOW DOES DIABETIC RETINOPATHY AFFECT DAILY LIFE?

Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy have problem while

• Working on computers
• Reading
• Outdoor activity
• Socializing

WHAT TO DO IF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY IS ALREADY AFFECTED THE EYE?

• Regular eye examination is mandatory.
• Blood glucose, blood pressure and lipid profile are to be closely monitored and maintained as close to normal as possible with the help of a physician.
• Healthy diet and exercise help to keep the blood sugar levels normal
• If vision does not improve with the conventional treatment, Low vision Aids are prescribed
• Smoking is to be stopped.

Age Related Macular Deganaration ( ARMD ) & Treatment India

MACULA

• Macula is a small area in the retina which is responsible for central vision.
• Deterioration or breakdown in the macula is called macular degeneration. When this happens as a result of an aging process it is termed as Age Related Macular Degeneration ( ARMD ).
• ARMD is amongst the leading causes of visual disability in people over 65 years of age and may affect one or both eyes. It is of two types : Dry and Wet

Dry ARMD

It is atrophic in nature where thinning of the tissues of the macula takes place and visual loss is gradual. This is the more common form of ARMD.

Wet ARMD

It is also called as Exudative ARMD; results when abnormal blood vessels arise from Choroid ( layer beneath the retina ). These new vessels leak fluid or blood and blur the central vision. Visual loss can be rapid and severe.

What happens to the vision in an eye with ARMD?

One experiences blurring of vision and has difficulty in recognising faces and reading the centre of the page while the periphery appears normal. Dark and empty areas appear in the centre of the vision. Straight lines appear wavy.

Who is at a risk of developing ARMD?

• Smokers are at a risk of almost two fold than non smokers.
• Caucasians are more likely candidates than people of American decent.
• High Myopes.
• People with family history of ARMD disease.

How is ARMD Detected?
ARMD is usually detected during a routine eye examination.

Amsler Grid in Macular Degeneration

How is the diagnosis established?

Diagnosis is confirmed by a clinical examination of the retina. Some important tests like the Amslers Grid charting, Optical Coherence Tomography ( OCT ) and Fundus Flourescein Angiography help to determine the type and extent of the damage to the retina.

Can ARMD be treated?
The DRY ARMD is managed by nutritional supplements in the form of antioxidants.
WET ARMD is treatable and gets good results when detected early. The simplest form of treatment is by way of intravitreal injections. These injections are agents that target specific chemical that are responsible for the growth of abnormal blood vessels under the retina. These chemicals are called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors ( VEGF ). The injections which block the trouble causing VEGF are called Anti-VEGFs. These reduce the growth of the abnormal blood vessels and reduce the leakage from them. These intravitreal injections are painless and harmless. Most are FDA approved.

                      

Photo Dynamic Therapy :
Certain types of Wet ARMD need to be treated by a special type of dye and LASER treatment to stop the leaking blood vessels. In advanced cases of ARMD these treatment lines may not help. Vision can then be rehabilitated with the help of Low Visual Aids.

How can ARMD affect my life?
ARMD has impact on activities like reading, cooking, shopping and watching TV. Moving in dimly lit rooms can be difficult. Keeping rooms brightly lit can help.

How do I protect my vision?

• Make regular visits to the eye doctor.
• Eat healthy, Stay active "Learn to watch for symptoms of ARMD, like waviness of lines and report to the doctor if any change is noted.
• Use of Visual Aids can make life easy for those who have already lost vision due to ARMD.

Important Reasons to Choose LASIK Eye Surgery

Glasses! STILL feeling UNCOMFORTABLE?

 Get rid of your Glasses or Contact Lenses

Let your beautiful Eyes Speak !! Get rid of your Glasses or Contact Lenses Get back your sparkling eyes !!

  LASIK eye surgery is becoming more advanced and more affordable. LASIK is not for everyone; before you decide to go through with LASIKsurgery you should learn more about it and what it has to offer you.

The LASIK procedure involves the use of an ultraviolet laser to reshape your cornea. It does this by vaporizing small amounts of the cornea's tissue. LASIK surgery is effective in treating nearsightedness (myopia), astigmatism, and farsightedness (hyperopia).

Before undergoing LASIK eye surgery an ophthalmologist will evaluate your eyes to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK. The eye surgeon will map out your corneas to determine how to shape them. The health of your eyes is evaluated to determine if LASIK is viable; if any problems are found it could preclude you from having LASIK surgery.

LASIK is an outpatient procedure; downtime for recovery is minimal. Most people are able to see clearly without their glasses or contacts immediately following the surgery. There are a number of side effects including problems with night vision and sensitivity to light.

For many active or sports minded people LASIK offers them an opportunity to continue to compete in athletic activities without the physical constraints of having to wear contact lenses or eye glasses. Even swimming takes on a whole new level of pleasure as you no longer need any eyewear to allow you to see clearly after you have undergone LASIK surgery.

You can learn more about LASIK vision correction by visiting the website http://krishnaeyecentre.com/

Before the LASIK surgery the patient is given eyedrops to numb their eye. Some patients are also sedated. Then, a very precise laser called a femtosecond laser makes a flap in the cornea. It's then peeled back like a lid and another type of laser is used to sculpt the eye tissue to make sure that the light can focus properly on the retina. Then, the flap is replaced. The operation takes about ten minutes.

After the patient is taken home, he or she should rest for a few days. The ophthalmologist will prescribe eye drops, because the eyes will be dry afterwards. The patient will then have follow-up visits to the ophthalmologist. The first might be a day or two after the surgery. Other visits will follow over a span of six months or so.

The result of the eye correction can last up to ten years and the operation may need to be redone. Studies have confirmed that it is a very safe procedure and that very few have experienced complications.

However, the question on a lot of people's minds usually is, "how to find the right surgeon?"

Finding the right surgeon is an important thing to do because you will trust this person to work on your eye and of course, you will be hoping for positive results. Lasik eye surgery cost is very expensive nowadays, so, you will also be paying a lot of money. Therefore, it is important that you find someone who is experienced, trustworthy and has a good profile.
