  • HOW IS STRABISMUS TREATED?

    Alignment of the eyes is important to ensure that both the eyes work together (Binocular Single Vision). Children might need early intervention to avoid lazy eye. Treatment of Strabismus could be done with the help of glasses, prisms, eye exercises and /or eye muscle surgery.

  • CAN STRABISMUS LEAD TO LOW VISION ?

    When the eyes are not perfectly aligned the deviated eye has a chance of developing poor vision. The brain tends to ignore the image of the deviated eye to avoid diplopia and this results in poor visual development.This is often referred to as Strabismic Amblyopia.

  • WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STRABISMUS?

    The eye may be deviated inwards as in the case of Esotropia, or it may be deviated outwards, which would be a case of Exotropia. In case the eye deviates upwards, the condition would be called Hypertropia, alternately, if it leans downward, it would be a case of Hypotropia.

  • IS WINTER SEASON BETTER FOR CATARACT SURGERY?

    This is a misconception that is believed by some. Visual outcome depends on the quality of the surgery, not the season. In this era, phacoemulsification surgery enables smaller incision, which helps in early wound healing and ambulation. The patient can take a bath in only a few days after the surgery.

  • WOULD GLASSES BE REQUIRED POST THE CATARACT SURGERY?

    If you opt for standard cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, you will need reading glasses and possibly computer glasses.
    There are cataract surgery options that can reduce or sometimes even eliminate your need for glasses. In particular, the premium implantable lenses such as multifocal IOL can provide excellent outcomes that enable many people to be free from spectacles for the greater part of their day.
    Another option is monovision cataract surgery, by which the power of the single vision IOL is customized in each eye to expand the range of clear vision when the two eyes function in unison. In this scenario, the dominant eye provides sharper distance vision, and the non-dominant eye provides sharper near vision.
