What is Eye Health?
One of the most complex organs of the human body, your eyes are an important part of your health. They take in information and directly connect it with your brain, helping you to understand the world around you.
What precautions should you take for the health of your eyes?
• Keeping your eyes healthy is as important as keeping your body healthy. Here are a few steps you need to follow to keep your eyes healthy: • Eat healthy • Wear sunglasses under the sun • Wear safety eyewear while gardening, working in a factory or playing certain sports. • Do not stare at computer or phone screen for too long. • Visit your eye doctor on regular intervals.
What health problems affect your eyes?
• You would be surprised to know that there are a few health conditions that have no connection with your eyes , but can lead to eye problems. A few of them are: • Diabetes: High blood sugar level can lead to several eye problems like blurry vision, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. These eye conditions can cause vision loss or blindness in people. • High Blood Pressure: High blood pressure can damage the blood vessels that supply blood to the eyes. It can cause damage to your retina, build up fluid under it, and can also damage your optic nerve. • Measles: A highly contagious virus, measles can harm the front or back of the eye, which can lead to vision loss or blindness. It can lead to conjunctivitis, keratitis, retinopathy, optic neuritis, and corneal scarring. • Liver Disease: The whites of a person’s eyes become jaundiced or yellow when they have any liver disease. Most of the common symptoms of liver cirrhosis can be felt in the eyes like itchiness and dryness.

Why do I have so many tears in my eyes?
There are several possible reasons to have watery eyes: • Due to allergies • Blocked tear ducts • Conjunctivitis • Dry eyes • Problems with cornea
Why You Should Go for Routine Eye Check Ups?
Getting an annual eye exam is a crucial part of ensuring good eye health for yourself and your loved ones. The benefits of regular eye checkups go beyond preventing eye-related complication as it also helps in diagnosis underlying health conditions at early stages. This way, you can start early treatments and lower the risks of complications.
How to Get Relief from Burning Eyes ?
It is common for everybody to experience a burning sensation in the eyes at some point in their life. The unusual sensation can go away on its own. In cases where the sensation persists, it can become bothersome.
Refractive Errors in Children?
Refractive errors are one of the most common eye conditions found in children. Refractive errors are often considered a minor eye-related issue. However, it is important not to let it take a backseat as it can affect vision. Impaired vision can, in turn, affect your child’s performance in school and social activities.
What are refractive errors?
In order for anybody to see clearly, the light that enters the eye must precisely focus on the retina, the portion at the back of the eyes that are composed of light-sensitive cells. The two parts of the eyes, lens and cornea, play an important role in focusing light rays on the retina. The presence of a refractive error is felt when the light does not precisely focus on the retina.
Causes of refractive errors
Just like the symptoms, causes of refractive errors vary. Myopia commonly occurs when the eye’s refractive power is too strong. A longer length of the eyeball axis is another important cause of myopia. Hyperopia can occur when the length of the eyeball axis is short. The refractive error can also occur when the eye has a weak refractive power. Astigmatism often occurs due to abnormal curvature of the cornea. In many cases, refractive error is inherited; meaning if you or your spouse has a refractive error, your child is likely to develop the condition.
Treatment of refractive errors
Eye doctors usually prescribe eyeglasses in order to temporarily correct refractive errors. Prescription eyeglasses are often the preferred refractive error correction option for patients.
What is Cataract?
A cataract is clouding of the eye’s natural lens. It is a natural process of aging. Every individual gets it sooner or later. Cataract impairs focusing of light on the retina and hence blurs vision.
What are the casus of Cataract?
Old age is the most common cause of cataracts. It also sometimes occurs relatively early in life due to factors such as injury, excessive sunlight, toxic chemicals, changes in the body’s metabolism, drugs, or other eye diseases, such as glaucoma and inflammation.
What are the symptoms of a Cataract?
People with cataract, even when wearing glasses, typically have: • Glare at night • Difficulty in recognizing colours • Foggy/smoky vision • Frequent changes in their glass prescription
What is the treatment for Cataract?
There are no medicines with proven efficacy to prevent or to treat cataract. The only effective treatment is the surgical removal of cataracts. Diabetes, hypertension and other general health problems are not a contraindication for cataract surgery. The cataract need not ‘mature’ for surgery
When is Cataract surgery advised?
The decision to treat a cataract is made together by the eye care practitioner and the patient. It is based on the degree to which the cataract is impairing vision and the effect of the impairment on the patient’s quality of life. Modern cataract surgery can be performed successfully in any season including summers and the rainy season. Delay in cataract surgery may increase the risk of complication during surgery. Surgery should be done as soon as the patient experiences problems in daily activities due to the dimness in vision.
What is ptosis of the eye?
Droopy eyelid is called ptosis. It can occur due to trauma, age, or various medical disorders. When it affects one eye it is referred to as unilateral and when it affects both eyes it is called bilateral ptosis.
What causes ptosis in one eye?
If just one eyelid droops, it may be a result of a nerve problem. An eye surgery gone wrong could also be the reason for ptosis in one eye.
What causes ptosis in both the eyes?
If both the eyelids are drooping, it can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. Stroke, brain tumour, or cancer of the nerves or muscles is some of the medical conditions that can lead to ptosis on both the eyes.
What are the symptoms of ptosis?
The main symptom of ptosis is a drooping eyelid. The condition is not painful but it can obstruct the vision. Along with droopy eyelids, the eyes are either extremely dry or watery. The area around the eyes may experience aching, giving a tired look. Those with severe ptosis will have to lift their heads to see better.
Educate Yourself on Colour Blindness
A greater part of the process in which the eyes perceive colour, depends on how healthy the cones are. Cones, located in the retina, are photoreceptor cells which contain pigments that react to a different wavelength of light. In other words, they are responsible for coloured vision. Unfortunately, not all eyes have healthy cones and, therefore, they face difficulty in colour perception. This condition is described as colour blindness. If you cannot read some or any of the above characters, you may have colour blindness. If you face difficulty in making out the differences between different colours, make sure to get your eyes checked.
Couple of months back I can read small letters in newspaper but since month I am facing problem to read those small letters what to do?
You may have Refractive Error & our trained optometrist first test your vision and then only your problem will be identified. If required you may need a spectacle for better vision. This does not mean that it is compulsory for you to buy the Spectacle from our Optical Shop and it remains at your discretion if you want to buy the spectacle from the Optical shop or not.
