Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an eye problem that can damage the optic nerve. The optic nerve sends visual information to the brain from the eyes.

Usually Glaucoma is caused by abnormal high pressure inside the eye. Over the time, the increased pressure can corrode the optic nerve tissue, which may result to vision loss or even blindness situation. Individual can prevent an additional vision loss if it diagnosed in early stage.

This eye problem is sometimes known as ‘’the silent thief of sight’’ and which the glaucoma can damage the vision gradually but with accumulating loss. That is why it is called silent and the person do not notice any loss of vision until it is in an advance stage. On the contrary for Glaucoma, in ocular hypertension the pressure is not high enough to do damage for the optic nerve and result in vision loss.

As a matter of fact, glaucoma is one of the leading blindness causes in between the developed countries.

Our Morsia Clinic eye health experts are highly skilled and use high-end techniques in order to serve you with best eye surgery skills and high-end techniques.

You should call your doctor immediately if you start experiencing symptoms, such as a severe pain, blurred vision and nausea.

Congenital Glaucoma

Children born with congenital glaucoma have a defect problem in the angle of their eye, which slows or prevents a normal fluid drainage. Congenital glaucoma mostly seen with symptoms, such as cloudy eyes, sensitivity to light or excessive tears.

Secondary Glaucoma

Secondary glaucoma is mostly a side effect of an injury or another eye condition, such as cataracts or eye tumours. Some medicines, such as corticosteroids may also cause this sort of glaucoma. In addition, eye surgery can rarely cause secondary glaucoma.

Normal Tension Glaucoma

In some cases, individual without increased eye pressure may develop damage to their optic nerve. The actual cause of this isn’t known. On the other hand, extreme sensitivity or a lack of blood flow to your optic nerve may be a factor for this type of glaucoma.

How the Glaucoma is treated?

The treatment itself can prevent vision loss, but as a fact the damage caused by glaucoma is irreversible.

Depending on the type of glaucoma, treatment may be inclusive of medication, usually prescriptions eye drops or a surgery in order to lower the pressure in the eye and prevent further stage damage to the optic nerve. Despite of there is not a certain cure yet for glaucoma, early diagnosis and continued treatment can sustain the eyesight.

Glaucoma is usually under controlled by eye drops used daily. These medications lower eye pressure, either by decreasing the amount of fluid produced within the eye or by improving the flow through the drainage angle.

During while these prescribed medications can preserve your vision, they may also have some side effects. Some of the eye drops may cause red eyes, stinging, itching, redness of the skin around the eyes, changes in heartbeat, breathing changes, dry mouth, changes in sense of taste, headaches, blurred vision. A patient should remind his/her ophthalmology expert about the potential side effects if experiencing them. Also some other medications can interact with other medications. Therefore, it is so important that patient make a list of the medications he/she use regularly.

The Surgery part involves either laser treatment or making an incision in the eye to decrease the intraocular pressure which is named such as filtering microsurgery.

Eye health experts often recommend laser surgery before filtering microsurgery treatment, unless the eye pressure is very high or the optic nerve is seriously damaged. During laser surgery treatment, a tiny but powerful beam of light is used to carry out several small scars in the eye’s trabecular meshwork which is the drainage system actually. These scars help and enable to increase the flow of fluid out of the eye as drainage. During the laser surgery, numbing is carried out for the eye so that there is a little or no pain feeling.

On the contrast, filtering microsurgery involves with placing a drainage hole in the sclera part with the using a small surgical tool. The new drainage hole made allows the fluid to drain out of the eye and helps to lower the eye pressure. This procedure is known as a trabeculectomy or a sclerostomy.

The procedure is carried out by removal of the gel-like fluid called vitreous at posterior part of the eye and to surgically treat the retinal disorders. Vitreoretinal surgery can especially be a solution for disorders such as diabetic retinopathy, maculopathy, and vitreous bleedings, and retinal detachment, complications of cataract surgery, eye traumas and macular hole.

How does a vitreoretinal surgery performed?

Vitreoretinal Surgery is performed under local or general anaesthesia and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours’ time. In this surgical operation the expert surgeon reach to the back of the eye by the three incisions of 0,5 mm made on the eye wall. After cleaning the gel matter (vitreous) by a probe, interventions are performed to solve the problems in the retina.

After the gel inside the eye is removed, it is tried to eliminate the retinal problem. Serum, gas or silicone oil can be placed inside the eye. In some cases, more than one intervention may be required. These procedures are superior surgeries in terms of team and equipment and they should be performed at well-equipped hospitals.

Vitrectomy procedures are mostly processed alongside other eye surgeries, so individual recovery time and recommendations vary.

Generally, activities like exercise, driving and reading needs to be avoided for a few days after the procedure.

REFRACTIVE SURGERY

If you have refractive problems such as near-sightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism or presbyopia, the refractive surgery is a good choice in order to correct or improve your vision.

There are various surgical procedures present to correct or adjust the eye's focused ability by reshaping the cornea, or clear round dome at the front of your eye. Other procedures involve implanting a lens inside the eye. The most commonly performed type of refractive surgery is LASIK where a laser is used to reshape the cornea.

For people who have myopia, certain refractive surgery techniques will reduce the curvature of a cornea that is too steep so that the eye's focusing power is lessened. Images that are focused in front of the retina, due to a longer eye or steep corneal curve, are pushed closer to or directly onto the retina following surgery.

Farsighted people will have refractive surgery procedures that conduct a steeper cornea to increase the eye's focusing power. Images that are focused beyond the retina, due to a short eye or flat cornea, will be pulled closer to or directly onto the retina after surgery.

Astigmatism condition can be corrected with refractive surgery techniques that delicately reshape portions of an irregular cornea to make it smooth and symmetrical. The result is that images focus clearly on the retina rather than being distorted due to light scattering through an irregularly shaped cornea.

Refractive surgery might be a good choice for you if you:

Are free of eye disease

Have an appropriate refractive error.

Want to finish your dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Understand that you could still need glasses or contacts after the procedure to achieve your best vision in some situations.

As a matter of fact the best option treatment for you should be decided after an expert examination and discussion by your ophthalmologist. If you are considering refractive surgery, you and your ophthalmologist can discuss your lifestyle and vision expectations to determine the best tailored procedure for you. In Morsia medical network of ophthalmology experts, you will find convenient and expert solutions for your treatment plan.
