What is glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of your eye called the optic nerve. The symptoms can start so slowly that you may not notice them. The only way to find out if you have glaucoma is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam.
The opening is exceptionally accurate and results in a near perfect circle. Once the opening is created, the laser then softens and breaks up the hard cataract into tiny pieces, allowing for gentler, easier cataract removal with significantly less ultrasound energy than is used in traditional cataract surgery.
The retina is the curved back layer of the eye and is covered in light-sensitive cells. Retinal detachment means the retina has separated from the back of the eye. Retinal detachment surgery involves reattaching the retina to the back of the eye and sealing any breaks or holes in the retina.
Phaco surgery involves the use of ultrasonic energy to break up the cloudy lens into tiny fragments, which are then gently suctioned out of the eye. This technique allows for a smaller incision size compared to traditional cataract surgery, resulting in faster healing and less postoperative discomfort.
Primary eye care provides an entry point for patients to receive refractions and glasses or contact lenses, screenings for asymptomatic eye diseases, diagnosis and treatment of most eye conditions, referral to specialists, and coordination with other aspects of medical care.
Neuro-Ophthalmology is the specialty that is concerned with visual symptoms resulting from brain diseases. The visual symptoms can be divided into visual loss, or problems with eye movements. Visual loss may result from problems within the optic nerve or its connections to the visual portions of the brain.
