A cataract is a condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to a decrease in vision. It often develops slowly and can affect one or both eyes.
Oculoplasty, or ophthalmic plastic surgery, refers to surgical procedures that involve the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit (bony socket), and the surrounding facial areas.
The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. It plays a critical role in focusing light onto the retina, enabling clear vision.
Contact lenses and spectacles are essential tools for vision correction, addressing various visual impairments such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Each option has its benefits and can be tailored to meet individual needs and preferences.
The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that captures visual information and sends it to the brain
Squint, medically known as strabismus, is a condition where the eyes do not align properly. One eye may turn in, out, up, or down while the other eye looks straight ahead.
Paediatric Ophthalmology is a specialized branch of eye care dedicated to the visual health of children. It focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing eye conditions and vision problems in children from infancy through adolescence.
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a serious eye condition that affects premature infants. It occurs when the blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) develop abnormally. ROP can lead to vision problems and, in severe cases, blindness if not treated promptly.
