Artificial intelligence or AI, has come out of the tech news channels and entered our lives. And it’s also slowly becoming part of healthcare, including eye care. Ophthalmology is using AI to analyze eye scans, to help screen for diseases and to help doctors spot changes which are not always easy to see. This can be particularly useful in eye conditions where early detection and regular monitoring is important.
Read MoreMost people experience eye discharge at some point, and it’s usually not a cause for concern.Your eyes naturally produce tears and mucus to stay clean and remove dust, old cells and other debris. However, if you suddenly notice more eye discharge than usual or it becomes thick, sticky, yellow or green, it may be a sign that something needs to be taken care of. Eye discharge can occur due to infections, allergies, dry eyes, irritation or other eye conditions.

Mascara, eyeliner and other eye cosmetics can collect bacteria over time, especially because their brushes and applicators repeatedly come into contact with your lashes and eyelids.

If your retinal surgeon has asked you to keep your head in a particular position, it is not simply a precaution. In certain retinal procedures, especially when a gas bubble is placed inside the eye, the correct head position helps the bubble stay against the area of the retina that needs support.
Read MoreHave you ever thought, what happens when the inner surface of the eyelid sticks to the surface of the eye? This condition is called symblepharon. It usually happens because of severe inflammation, injury or scarring of the conjunctiva. Symblepharon can be mild and cause little discomfort, but more extensive adhesions may affect eyelid movement, eye movement and even vision. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help manage the condition.
Read MorePosterior Capsular Opacification (PCO), sometimes called a “secondary cataract,” is a common problem that can develop after cataract surgery. It may cause vision to become blurry or cloudy again, sometimes months or even years after surgery. PCO is not a return of the cataract. Instead, the thin capsule behind the artificial lens becomes cloudy, affecting clear vision. PCO can usually be effectively treated with a simple laser procedure.
Read MoreHave you ever noticed tiny black dots, spots, lines or cobweb-like shapes moving across your vision? You may notice them more clearly while looking at a blue sky, a white wall or a computer screen. When you try to look directly at one or you blink, they may seem to move away.

Vision is highly dependent on a healthy diet providing key nutrients such as vitamin A, antioxidants (vitamin C and E), and omega-3 fatty acids that protect eye tissues and help keep cells functioning well over time. Food can’t fix refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia) or make the need for corrective lenses go away. But eating well can go a long way in reducing your risk of major eye diseases.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the fluid pressure in the eye. Typically, it is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). A normal, healthy range is typically between 10 and 21 mmHg. Normal intraocular pressure (IOP) is important to vision as it protects the optic nerve, keeps the structural shape of the eye, and allows healthy fluid balance.

Cataract surgery is the removal of the cloudy eye lens and replacing it with a clear intraocular lens. Ophthalmologists perform cataract surgery aiming at clear vision. However, eye conditions such as Fuchs dystrophy and astigmatism severely complicate the surgical outcomes. Although cataract surgery is one of the safest and most successful procedures.

Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy is a major indication for corneal transplantation. It is a progressive, inherited eye disease where the inner cell layer of the cornea (the endothelium) slowly dies off. Many patients aren’t diagnosed until the condition becomes quite advanced. These endothelial cells normally pump fluid out of the cornea. When they fail, fluid builds up.

Many patients are worried about the safety of flying after eye surgery. There is a considerable change in pressure, exposure to dry air, and disturbance in the recovery period during air travel. Most eye surgeries permit you to travel afterwards, but the timeframe depends on the kind of surgery and how the patient recovers. Flying too soon after eye surgery can affect your healing.

Corneal Allogenic Intrastromal Ring Segments is abbreviated as CAIRS. It is a minimally invasive eye surgery for keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, and post-LASIK ectasia where small, arc-shaped pieces of human donor corneal tissue are inserted into channels in the middle layer of the patient’s cornea to flatten and reshape the bulge.

While cataracts and dry eyes themselves are not life-threatening, untreated cases can significantly impair vision and the overall quality of life. Cataracts develop when the lens of the eye loses its clarity, becoming cloudy and opaque. As a result, vision is affected, often causing blurriness and a dulling of colors. These changes can significantly impact daily activities, making tasks more challenging to perform.
