Can I Undergo Laser Eye Surgery if I Have Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)?

    January 11, 2025 4150 Views

Laser eye surgery is a secure and effective treatment as it is useful for correcting a variety of common visual impairments. There are also different types of laser eye surgery options, such as SMILE and LASIK eye surgery. So many people who are considering treatment often need clarification about which specific laser eye surgery is right for them. 

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease that especially affects senior citizens. It occurs when the central part of the retina, which is called the macula responsible for detailed central vision, deteriorates over time. This disease is the leading cause of intense vision loss and blindness among individuals over 50 years old in developed countries. 

It can significantly affect the individual’s eyesight, which makes it challenging to perform the daily tasks that need clear central vision, such as reading, driving, recognising faces and seeing fine details. Early detection through routine eye checkups and prompt treatment at an eye hospital in Punjab that provides experienced doctors can help you decrease the progression of the disease and maintain your vision.

Here are two types of macular degeneration. First is Dry AMD, which gradually breaks down the macula cells and leads to the formation of small yellow deposits called drusen. This can result in blurred or deserted central vision, difficulty reading, decreased brightness and colour perception, and possibly a blind spot in the centre of the visual field. The second one is Wet AMD, which occurs when anomalous blood vessels grow beneath the retina and leak fluid or blood, generating damage to the macula.

It is recommended that patients with AMD be cautious when considering laser eye surgery. Laser eye surgery addresses refractive errors by reshaping the cornea to improve vision. Photobiomodulation therapy is helpful for Dry AMD, which utilises red, yellow, and near-infra-red light wavelengths to rejuvenate the macular on a cellular level, as this procedure is safe, non-invasive, and painless. Patients with wet AMD are treated with anti-VEGF injections, which help to slow down the progression of the disease. But in some instances, it is possible to consider laser eye surgery for patients at an eye hospital in Punjab with very early dry AMD.

Mitra Eye Hospital offers the facility of successful eye treatment procedures and complex surgeries. We provide various types of eye treatments such as contour vision, blade-free cataract surgery, Lasik surgery, vitreoretinal surgery, oculoplastic surgery, and many more. We also regularly update all the important equipment for all the major sectors of the hospitals. We expand the rehabilitation services for all patients with poor vision by providing the availability of all the specialised facilities.

Understanding Pink Eye Condition and its Treatment Procedures?

    January 8, 2025 5089 Views

Eyes are a crucial part of our body and without a proper eyesight it is impossible to do any kind of work. We should take proper care of them in order to maintain an optimal and perfect eyesight throughout our life. A slight defect in the eyes, whether in the cornea or retina, can have a major effect on your eyesight. One of the common conditions of the eyes that anyone can experience is the pink eye. Basically, this condition will change the colour of the whites in your eyes to pink or sometimes red. The Mitra Eye Hospital suggests that you use eye drops or other prescribed eye medications to treat pink eye. 

The eye hospital in India has described that the cause of pink eye is inflammation, and there are several other conditions that could look like pink eye, but they are different from that. Those conditions are allergies, dry eye syndrome, keratitis or a stye. If you have been having pink eyes for a long time and it is not getting better with drops or medications, then it is necessary to undergo emergency eye care treatment.

High-quality eye examination at Mitra Eye Hospital and Laser Centre for comprehensive vision correction and eye health.

The pink eye is the conjunctiva, which is a thin, clear mucus that covers the outer surface of your eyeball and the inner surface of your eyelids. It lubricates your eye, saving you from pathogens or irritants. When there is inflammation in your conjunctiva, the white part of your eyeball turns pink. Some common causes are viral or bacterial eyes. Symptoms that are analysed by the eye hospital in India that can help in indicating that you have pink eye are:- 

  • Itching 
  • Tearing
  • Discharge
  • Gritty Feeling
  • Blurred Vision

There are some common treatment options that can help you in treating pink eye:- 

  • For bacterial conjunctivitis: There are antibiotic eye drops or ointments that can eliminate the bacterial infection, but it will take a couple of days to heal after you start the treatment. Other eye care tips for treating pink eyes are using a warm or damp cloth to remove the crusts and discomfort from your eyes.
  • For Viral conjunctivitis: It causes excess swelling and discomfort in your eyes, which can be reduced by compressing a cold or damp cloth. If you are experiencing irritation, then eye drops would be a better option for you, but it would be cured within one or two weeks.
  • For allergic conjunctivitis: Eye drops are prescribed to reduce allergic reactions, but you should note that those eye drops must contain a constituent which is antihistamine. You should identify and avoid the allergens that are causing the reaction. The allergens that cause itching and swelling in your eyes could be cured by cold compressions. 
  • For general care:- Some basic eye care tips are washing hands, avoiding touching or rubbing your eyes and preventing sharing any of your personal items like towels or pillows. You should refrain from wearing any contact lenses until the infection is perfectly cleared. Any type of discharge in your eyes should be cleaned with a clean cloth.

All of the pink eye symptoms can take 2 to 3 weeks to be completely cured. If you are detecting any type of symptoms of pink eye, you should talk to any eye specialist from Mitra Eye Hospital. They will prescribe you a viable treatment option for an effective treatment. You can contact our specialists or book an appointment for treatment.

How does stress cause vision loss? What do you mean by downward spiral?

    December 4, 2024 3272 Views

The vision problems may come into existence owing to the damage in the eye nerves, retina or the other parts of the brain. The vision loss does not happen so early. Rather it is followed by grave consequences like difficulty in seeing the faces, reading or mobility. 

How does vision loss accompany stress? 

As we all know, vision loss is an irreversible phenomenon. So the person who suffers from such issues faces social isolation, depression and anxiety-like problems. 

Do you know? 

According to recent studies, prolonged mental stress layers lead you to the problem of vision loss. 

What is the impact of conscious stress and elevated cortisol levels on eye health? 

The perpetual stress and the escalated cortisol levels are accountable for negatively affecting eye health and the brain. This happens because of the imbalance in the autonomous nervous system. Vascular dysregulation is also accountable for contributing to such problems. Thus we can summarize that stress is the huge cause of eye problems. It has been reported that the people who expose themselves to continuous stress suffer from glaucoma and optic neuropathy like problems. 

 

How did the earlier techniques aimed at stress reduction and relaxation? 

As far as stress reduction and relaxation are concerned, then in the earlier times, the techniques like the following were suggested: 

  • Meditation 
  • Autogenic training 
  • Stress management training 
  • Psychotherapy 

 

How can doctors contribute to interrupting the vicious cycle of vision loss? 

The vicious cycle of vision loss can be disturbed if the doctors try to inculcate optimism and positivity in their patients. No doubt, vision loss is a permanent phenomenon but miracles do happen. So why lose hope. 

 

How can we say that eye diseases are the ‘brain and vascular diseases in disguise’?

As we know that the eyes and the retina are considered as the extensions of the brain. So this is the only reason that ophthalmological diseases are known as brain diseases. Both of the diseases depend on the vascular system. 

Do you know?

Glaucoma is not only considered as the ocular disorders but also come in the category of the brain neurodegenerative disorders 

How do the stress and the emotional breakdown lead to vision impairment? 

Stress and other emotional experiences are known to cause serious effects on the eyes, vascular system and brain. The autonomic imbalance releases the stress hormone and thus the perfusion problem comes into existence. This is the main reason that the overlapping of the physiological and the functional aspects of the neural circuits is encountered as far as the vision and the emotion is concerned. 

What do we mean by the downward spiral? 

When the vision loss is caused by stress and that ageing has led to the stress, then the ocular structure experiences the impaired vascular functioning. This problem further leads to stress and worry which is accountable for aggravating the vision loss problem.

In case you face any vision loss symptoms, then immediately see the best eye  doctor in punjab or visit best eye hospital in jalandhar.

Can Diabetic Retinopathy Be Reversed?

    October 19, 2024 2371 Views

Certain eye condition risks are developed with increased diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the eye conditions which is affecting many individuals. Generally, diabetic retinopathy progression can be shown or stopped with proper management and treatment, but it is not reversible.

 

Managing this condition includes controlling blood sugar, managing blood cholesterol and pressure, and booking regular eye checkups at an eye hospital in India. You can also take the treatment for diabetic retinopathy through medication, surgery and vitrectomy.

Non-invasive eye health assessment using advanced laser imaging at Mitraeye Hospital.

In your retina, your eyes are supported by various blood vessels. If you have diabetes that causes high blood sugar, it can damage these blood vessels because they are very sensitive. Thus, if your blood glucose level is high for a long period, the risk for these blood vessels may break, swell and leak, which causes severe vision loss.

 

Therefore, it is important to treat this condition. Diabetic Retinopathy treatment in India can provide the best possible way to prevent this condition. Unfortunately, if this diabetic retinopathy condition can occur, you may experience central vision loss,  inability to see the colours, blurry vision, black spots in your vision, and floaters in your visual fields.

 

There are two types of conditions that lead to this condition: non-proliferative and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy condition is the initial phase of this condition that occurs when microaneurysms protrude from the borders of the blood vessels in your eyes, which can break and leak the fluid into the retina.

 

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy condition progresses when damaged blood vessels can close off, which promotes abnormal, weaker blood vessel development as this condition may progress to diabetic macular oedema by damage to the blood vessels in the retina.

 

When blood sugar levels are too high, which leads to blockage in the blood vessels in your retina, cutting off the blood supply is the major cause of the development of diabetic retinopathy. Anybody with diabetes can originate diabetic retinopathy, but some people are more at risk and are more likely to develop conditions such as if they have uncontrolled blood sugar levels.

 

If you have high blood sugar, high cholesterol, pregnancy issues, and smoking habits, then you have more risk of developing this condition. Damage induced by diabetic retinopathy is typically permanent. This condition can not be fully reversible, but some treatments from an eye hospital in India may help bring some of your vision back. Your eye doctor can help preclude your vision from worsening while treatments aren’t likely to return your vision.

 

To prevent eye conditions, there are several factors for Diabetic Retinopathy treatment in India, as you should carefully maintain the diet that is provided by your doctor and learn to control your blood sugar. It also helps you to prevent your future vision loss by taking diabetes medication. Medicines such as Avastin, Eylea, and Lucentis are also helpful in reducing blood sugar.

Laser surgery can also help you seal off blood vessels leaking fluid, which reduces retinal swelling. These blood vessels then shrink and cannot develop further. In the later phases of diabetic retinopathy, your optometrist may suggest a vitrectomy. During this therapy, your doctor surgically terminates the vitreous gel, blemish tissue, and blood from your eye that prevents light from focusing properly. 

 

Mitra Eye Hospital has transformed into an impressive figure in eye treatment and eye surgeries. We provide the modern technology that is utilised in the hospital, which has resulted in high-quality assistance delivery. Thus, you do not ignore getting your eyes regularly checked if you are a diabetic patient.

 

You may save yourself from running into complications If diabetic retinopathy is diagnosed at the early stage. Therefore, it is advised that the best eye specialists at the Mitra Eye Hospital and the LASIK Laser Centre be counted on. We are known for providing the best eye care facilities.

Why You Should be Wearing Sunglasses on Cloudy Days?

    September 23, 2024 4659 Views

Sunglasses protect your eyes from harsh environments, but have you ever wondered if they are beneficial for them on cloudy days? Your eyes need complete protection from harmful UV rays even when the sun is hiding in the shade of clouds. From protection against UV exposure to enhancing vision and visibility, sunglasses help us a lot under harsh weather. 

Read on to learn about the benefits of wearing sunglasses on a cloudy day and dispel the misconceptions about their usage. 

 

Risk and Dangers of Harmful UV Rays on Cloudy Days

Clouds Do Not Provide Complete Protection

People are often under the misconception that clouds pose as a shield, blocking harmful UV rays. However, even though they may partially act as a filter for UV radiation, they don’t fully protect your eyes, resulting in a significant amount of UV rays reaching the earth’s surface. 

 

UV Rays can Pass Through the Clouds.

Even when the sky is covered with clouds, and there is no sun in sight, the UV rays can go through the cloud cover and reach your eyes and skin. This exposure to UV rays can result in both short-term and long-term complications for eye health. 

 

Environmental exposure can also lead to hay fever, for which you can opt for various effective ways to relieve hay fever. 

 

Higher Risk of Damage to Eyes

Long exposure to the sun’s UV rays can lead to an increase in the risk of damage to the eyes and developing conditions such as photokeratitis and cataracts, which can result in permanent vision loss. 

 

Higher Risk at Higher Altitudes

For Individuals who reside at higher altitudes or spend significant amounts of time in mountainous areas, the intensity of UV increases due to a thinner atmosphere and less filtration of UV radiation. 

Reflective Surfaces Enhance Exposure

Even with the clouds, UV rays can reach your eyes through the reflecting surfaces, including water, snow or sand, increasing the intensity of exposure. This means that the people living near water bodies will be more affected by it. 

 

An individual can manage eye problems with surgery, but it is essential to know if laser surgery is safe for diabetic patients.

 

UV Damage is Cumulative

UV damage can increase over time. You may not feel its discomfort immediately, but frequent and elongated exposure to UV rays, even on cloudy days, can result in long-term eye health complications. 

 

Importance of UV-Blocking Sunglasses

It is crucial to ensure the protection of your eyes from harmful UV rays. Therefore, it is essential to wear top-quality, UV-blocking sunglasses for optimal eye health. These sunglasses protect you from UV rays on sunny or cloudy days and also reduce glare, improving vision clarity and comfort. 

 

Eyelashes also protect your eyes from the harsh environment; however, if you do not have fine eyelashes, then there are several treatment options for fine and thick eyelashes. 

 

Benefits of Wearing Sunglasses on Cloudy Days

Even when the sun is hiding behind the clouds, its harmful UV rays can penetrate through the clouds, reaching your eyes and resulting in various eye health conditions. There it is beneficial to wear sunglasses even on a cloudy day as they protect us against UV exposure in many ways, such as 

 

UV Blockage

Top-quality sunglasses that have UV-coated lenses can provide you 100% protection from UVA rays  and UVB rays, keeping your eyes from experiencing eye health complications. 

 

Preventing Eye Strain

Wearing sunglasses allows you to prevent eye squinting and straining caused by bright exposure to light and glare. Sunglasses make it easier and more comfortable to see in changing light conditions. 

 

Preventing Photoaging

Exposure to UV rays leads to premature ageing of eyes and fragile skin surrounding them. However, sunglasses ensure 100% protection of your eyes, preventing wrinkling and fine lines caused by elongated exposure to the sun. 

 

Reducing the Risk of Eye Disease

Elongated exposure to the sun can lead to multiple eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration and pterygium. Wearing sunglasses shields you from exposure to the sun and reduces the risk of developing these conditions. 

The eyes are a delicate part of our body that can be affected by several factors beyond UV rays, causing complications and discomfort issues such as dry eyes. Maintaining eye health is essential for better vision and clarity, which also reflects in various areas of your life. Therefore, ensure 100% protection of eye health with all the possible measures, and make sure to visit your eye doctor occasionally for improved eye health.

Should You Risk Driving with Macular Degeneration?

    September 14, 2024 2207 Views

Our vision is perhaps one of the most important aspects and senses we have. It is the means to perceive the world around us. Without a properly functioning vision, a person can lose their ability to perceive the world around them. In order to appreciate beauty and not lose one’s independence, retaining the ability to see the world is vitally important. As soon as one starts to experience troubles with their visions, one starts to hesitate to do things they would normally do.

Running errands, taking children to school, taking your grandchildren out for a ride – all of these general activities can face a lot of hindrance. If one is not able to see, how will they bear responsibility for themselves or others? It can be a horrid thing to lose that sense of freedom and independence that comes along with developing any issues whatsoever with one’s vision. It can truly be a bitter pill to swallow – especially for older people. Regardless of how you may feel, it is important to visit an eye hospital in Punjab as early as you can in order to receive an official diagnosis. Having a diagnosis can help navigate through one’s treatment plans.

In certain instances, having a timely diagnosis can help prevent a person from completely losing their vision. One of the most prominent issues that impact people as they get older is macular degeneration. It usually affects people above the age of 50. It can lead to obscured and cloudy vision as well as lead the person to lose their central vision. Some people completely lose their vision, while others do not. AMD can be exacerbated if the person has high blood pressure, regularly engages in smoking or engages in a diet high in saturated fat content. 

Should one risk driving when they have macular degeneration? Developing macular degeneration does not automatically mean that we should simply stop driving. It depends on a case-by-case basis, wherein the intensity of one’s macular degeneration can determine how one should proceed with regard to driving. This is a chronic issue – there is no viable treatment available for macular degeneration.

At times, macular degeneration stagnates and does not progress further. In such a situation, if one feels comfortable driving the car, they should keep driving it. In case the situation deteriorates, you must take an advance call and stop driving the car yourself. We understand that this is a difficult decision, but it is a responsible one.

At Mitra Eye Hospital, we are only equipped to diagnose the issues you might be facing. Our team of experts can also help you navigate through a variety of treatment options. As the best eye hospital in Ludhiana, we completely and utterly realize how difficult losing one’s vision can be. We have tools and resources that you can use in case you are facing any unforeseen adversities when it comes to your vision.

Is Laser Eye Surgery Safe For Diabetic Patients?

    September 9, 2024 3762 Views

Diabetic patients need to be extra cautious before undergoing any treatment or surgery. It is not simple for diabetic patients to follow a medical process without considering other factors. In the case of laser eye surgery, diabetic patients need to ponder upon certain things before opting for it. Also, the support and guidance of the best eye hospital in Ludhiana are required before a diabetic patient gets laser eye surgery.

Top 5 requirements for a diabetic patient to get laser eye surgery

People with diabetes, be it Type 1 or Type 2, can go for laser eye surgeries, such as LASIK, SMILE, and LASEK, to experience improved eyesight. However, here are some requirements for every diabetic patient before undergoing the eye surgery:

  1. Stable vision
    It is essential for diabetic patients to have stable vision before getting the surgery. Otherwise, the fluctuations in blood sugar levels can result in vision change and refractive index of the lens.
  2. Diabetic retinopathy
    Another problem in diabetic patients is diabetic retinopathy. It is a situation when blood vessels get damaged in the retina due to high blood sugar levels. If a person is experiencing this condition, then it is advised to drop the idea of getting laser eye surgery.
  3. Regular eye examinations
    Diabetic patients need to have regular eye examinations prior to laser eye surgery. It is essential to know any underlying diabetic eye situations that can further create problems.
    Type 1 vs. Type 2 diabetes
  4. Patients with any type of diabetes need to be careful. Type 1 diabetes is found in younger people and involves a long history of complications or disease. At the same time, Type 2 diabetes is found in older people and faces issues like cataracts. This can affect the decision to get laser eye surgery.
  5. Strong control over diabetes
    To control diabetes before laser eye surgery is essential. People should have controlled blood sugar levels as it can reduce the risk of any complications during or after surgery. However, diabetic patients with poor control can face slow healing, high chances of infections, etc.

New advancements in laser eye surgery for diabetic patients

Laser eye surgery procedures involve LASIK or LASEK. They have become safe and secure for diabetic people. This has happened because of the latest developments in technology. Here are some developments done in the laser eye surgery for diabetic patients:

  • Betterment in diabetes management
    There are new and improved methods to manage and monitor diabetes. This further helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, minimising the chances of vision fluctuations or any other surgery complications.
  • New and improved surgical techniques and technology
    Modern laser eye surgeries have become precise and less invasive. The involvement of cutting-edge technology minimises the chance of any complications. Also, it enhances the accuracy of surgery.

Treatment Options for a Fine and Thick Eyelashes

    September 4, 2024 1877 Views

Eyes play a vital role in changing your appearance; vision can be corrected with the help of power glasses, and your appearance can be elevated. But what about the eyelashes? With the advanced medical facilities, Mitra Eye Hospital has started procedures that can correct your discomfort of weak eyelashes. With serums, you will get the desired results in four weeks, and applying these serums will be a painless solution for your eyelashes. 

These serums include several active ingredients that are applied at the base of eyelashes, which are natural hair follicles. These ingredients will help you nurture and build the follicles, which will assist in stimulating the growth of thicker eyelashes. However, our experts use these serums with caution as sometimes there is uncertainty in the quality of the ingredients. In some cases, we also suggest our patients use glaucoma eye drops, which also assist in the growth of eyelashes.

Eyelash serums are a better option for healthy eyelashes, but they have some negative effects. We apply these serums to the eyelashes, which are very close to the delicate eye, and sometimes you get a burning sensation in your eyes or skin. This can lead to redness or swelling around your eyelids. Some other side effects of this serum in people are allergic reactions, causing itching or watery eyes, inflammation or a change in pigmentation, which causes dark circles around the eyes. Another worry after your eyelash treatment is that some changes could occur in the look of your eyes due to the weakness in the eyelids.

We have some other treatment options which could be essential to add more volume to the eyelashes. The other option is the Lash Lift process, in which we use a curved silicone tool to lift and shape the eyelashes. This method is used to individually move each lash away from the eye, which gives it natural appearance for a long time. There are different types and sizes of silicone tools. After using these tools, some chemicals are applied which are harmless. You have to follow some post-treatment guidelines like no contact of water with the eyelashes. The Lash Lift usually lasts up to six or eight weeks.

Some reasons not to use the eyelash serum is if you have problems such as conjunctivitis, macular oedema and uveitis. Further eyelash treatment can cause severe inflammation or swelling of the eye structures. Plus, you need to take special care if you wear contact lenses because the serum can collect on the lenses, which could be uncomfortable for the eyes and sometimes even cause eye infections.

At Mitra Eye Hospital, we assure you that you will be able to see the results yourself if you prefer our treatment options.
