Cataract is a condition in which the natural lens of the eye becomes opaque and loses its transparency. The condition is usually associated with the aging process, but trauma, genetic factors, diabetes, long-term corticosteroid use, smoking, and several other health problems can also increase the risk of developing cataracts

Symptoms of cataract:

1. Blurred or unclear vision: Cataracts reduce the clarity of the picture and can cause blurred vision. Colors may appear pale or yellowish.
2. Light sensitivity: You may be disturbed by light sources and may notice glare, flashes or shadows in your eyes.
3. Night vision problems: Cataracts can negatively affect night vision. Your visual acuity may be impaired when driving at night or in low light conditions.
4. Double vision: Cataracts can cause double vision.

In most cases, cataracts are treated surgically. Cataract surgery involves removing the opaque natural lens and inserting an artificial lens. Most people's vision improves significantly after such surgery.

 

Strabismus is a pathological condition in which the eyes lose their normal position. It usually occurs as a result of malfunctioning eye muscles.

Symptoms of strabismus:

1. Deviation of the position of one eye in relation to the other when looking at an object.
2. Lack of alignment between the two eyes
3. Blurred or double vision
4. Feeling of fatigue or tension in the eyes
5. Headache or pain around the eyes

 

Treatment methods for strabismus depend on its underlying causes   and may include:

1. Glasses or contact lenses
2. Eye exercises
3. Oculoplasty: Surgical interventions to correct the position of the eye muscles
4. Botox injections: Botox injections for temporary paralysis and correction of eye muscles
5. Surgical intervention

 

This is the layer of the tissue of the eye that covers the inside of the eyeball, contains the optic cells and provides the transmission of the visual signal to the optic nerve. There are many diseases that affect retina, among them the following can be distinguished:

• Retinal hemorrhages due to diabetes,
• Retinal hemorrhages and retinal edema due to retinal vascular occlusion and hypertension,
• Macular degeneration,
• Macular edema,
• Retinal tumors, uveal tumors,
• Retinal tears and detachment

Biomicroscopic examination, OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), FFA (fundus fluorescein angiography ) are used in the diagnosis of retinal diseases. The main methods of treatment are the use of a laser, intraocular injections and surgery.

 

Eyelid disorders include abnormalities in the shape, position, or function of the eyelids. These disorders can be congenital or may manifest with age. Here are some common eyelid disorders:

1. Drooping eyelid (ptosis)
2. Eyelid sagging
3. Entropion and Ectropion
4. Lacrimal duct occlusion
5. Eyelid tumors
6. Styes and cysts of the eyelids,
7. Eyelid drooping and loss of function due to facial paralysis,
8. Involuntary eyelid contraction

 

Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision as a result of increased intraocular pressure.

Glaucoma typically has no apparent symptoms and can develop unnoticed. It is often the case that patients do not notice a vision loss in the early stages. However, in cases of progressive glaucoma, narrowing of the visual field or loss of central vision may occur.

Glaucoma management depends on the type of the disease, degree of progression, and individual patient characteristics. Treatment options may include eye drops, oral medications, laser surgery (eg, trabeculoplasty or iridotomy), intraocular pressure implants, and conventional surgery. Treatment is aimed at controlling intraocular pressure, protecting the optic nerve, and preventing vision loss.

 

As we age, sagging, drooping, wrinkles, lines, folds and bags appear in the eyelid area and skin around the eyes. Hereditary factors can sometimes cause such problems in quite young people as well. By planning a surgical intervention according to the characteristics of a particular person, one can achieve truly impressive results and eliminate a tired and unhappy facial expression.

For the lower eyelid aesthetics, surgery can be performed through an incision in the skin or through a hidden incision on the inside of the eyelid. With such surgery, it is possible to correct under-eye bags, loose skin and sagging eyelids.

 

Surgery is performed when the eye loses the ability to see for whatever reason, the present eye looks unaesthetic, causes pain, is reduced in size and has a sunken appearance. There are two approaches: removal of the entire eye (enucleation) or removal of the inner tissues while preserving the white outer part of the eye, called the sclera. A special sphere is inserted in place of the removed eye to prevent volume loss, and muscles are sutured to this sphere to maintain mobility. Once the healing process is complete, a prosthesis with a close resemblance to the patient's natural eye is fitted.

 

The lacrimal ducts are a system of ducts and glands that drain tears from the surface of the eye. Lacrimal duct diseases occur when these ducts or glands become obstructed or injured. These conditions can disrupt the normal outflow of tears, causing watery eyes, dryness, inflammation, and other symptoms.

 

• Eye diseases associated with thyroid dysfunction (protrusion of the eye, called exophthalmos)
• Orbital tumors
• Tumors of the optic nerve

 

Wrinkles around the eyes and between the eyebrows create an angry and elderly look. Botox injections can help to bring back a more youthful, rested and happy face. If the procedure is properly planned according to the needs of the person, it will certainly not prevent from making natural facial movements. Botox, during its effect, prevents the contraction of facial muscles that cause wrinkles, and thus prevents the formation of permanent creases and folds. Side effects after Botox injections are quite rare.

 

A pediatric eye exam is an evaluation performed to assess the health of a child's eyes and identify vision problems. Eye examinations are important to monitor the healthy development of the child's eyes and visual system, early detection of possible problems and timely initiation of treatment if necessary.

Because of that reason, it is important to have regular eye exams for children. Every child should be examined, primarily at age of 1 year, 3-4 years and before school.

This is especially important for children with strabismus, lazy eye syndrome and glasses wearing in the family history. Children with symptoms such as:

• Drooping eyelid (ptosis)
• Constant increased lacrimation
• Watching TV at a too close distance
• Desire to squint or close one eye

should be examined by an ophthalmologist without any hesitation.
