Preserving Your Vision for the Long Haul: Top Ways to Protect Your Eyes

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

Many of us these days struggle with a reduction in our vision. And as we age our vision becomes noticeably worse. However there are preventive measures you can take to help improve your vision and ensure your vision will last over the years.

Taking care of our eyes is an important part of our health. Taking preventative measures will also help you detect some other conditions early like, cataracts, Keratoconus, and even Type 2 Diabetes. Getting a check up at least once a year is a good start. Read below to find out additional tips to preserving your eye health.

Wearing Sunglasses all year around: While this sounds kind of absurd the truth is sunglasses are not merely summer attire but it will also help when you are going out in the winter. The sun’s UV rays are harmful for you throughout the year. So protecting your eyes all year makes sense.

 

Taking Breaks When on the Computer: If you work on the computer a lot it is wise to stop every hour for at least 5 minutes and walk away. This will give your eyes a break from the light, and glare of the screen and straining of your eyes.

Avoid Squinting to See: Straining your eyes is something we do often and continuing to strain to see can cause damage to your vision. Also if you are straining chances are you need to visit your eye care physician.

There are many things you can do to improve your vision. Checking regularly and reporting changes in your vision is imperative to the overall good health of your eyes. Finding a good eye surgeon will also ensure that your eyes are taken care of, and eye conditions are found early enough to get the proper treatments.

How Diabetes Can Affect Your Vision

Friday, May 13th, 2011

Diabetes is a serious problem in the US, there are newly diagnosed cases every 5 minutes in our country. Diabetes is a buildup of sugar in the bloodstream. Typically our bodies work to remove the excess sugar in our bloodstream through the release of insulin into the bloodstream. However some people become resistant to insulin and it doesn’t work as well as it should leaving the sugar in our bloodstream.

As the blood runs throughout our body the sugar touches many areas of the body causing havoc throughout. When the blood reaches our eyes it can cause the damage to the blood vessels within our eyes, breaking them down and causing problems with our vision. If this process continues without treatment or removal of the excess sugar it can cause eventual blindness.

Below are some signs of Diabetes:

Sudden Weight Loss or Gain

Increased thirst

Increased urination

Blurred vision

Fatigue

Areas of darkened skin

Increased Hunger

Confusion

Increased Irritability

Frequent Headaches

For those of you who have some of the above symptoms talking to your eye care professional or primary care doctor can help with early detection. Additionally getting your yearly eye examination can help save your eyes.

Blurred vision is a symptom of Keratoconus: Keratoconus is a progressive condition that can lead to decline in vision. While Keratoconus is a serious diagnosis if found early it can be controlled. New technologies have recently helped those with Keratoconus stop the progression and in some cases reverse the damage done by this progressive disease.

Understanding Cataracts: Types of Cataract Surgery and the Risks Associated

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Cataracts are a clouding of the natural lens of the eye, which causes blurred vision. For elderly patients, cataracts are incredibly common. In fact, by the time Americans reach the age of 70, more than 50% either have a cataract or cataracts, or have already had at least one cataract surgery.

The two primary types of cataract surgeries:

1. Phacoemulsification (or simply phaco) is a cataract surgery technique in which a small entry point is made to one side of a patient’s cornea. A tiny probe is inserted into sub-corneal regions through the small entry point. The probe gives off ultrasonic waves that actually break up the clouded part of the lens enabling removal by suction. Phaco is the most opted for cataract alleviating surgical technique.
2. Extracapsular cataract surgery involves a long incision on the cornea. The clouded core of the affected lens is removed in one piece, without breaking it up with ultrasonic waves. Since there is a long incision on the cornea the patient recovery can be longer and the patient is advised to be careful not to bump or rub the eye for several months.

What happens after the cataract is removed?

Once the natural lens has been taken away, in most cases it is replaced with a synthetic lens called an IOL, or intraocular lens. IOLs require no maintenance and actually become fully integrated with the natural eye. The IOL focuses incoming light rays clearly and projects them onto the retina. Vision is improved and the IOL cannot be seen or felt. Deluxe or Premium IOLs can correct distance, near and intermediate vision. Toric IOLs can correct astigmatism.

What are the risks associated with cataract surgeries?

All surgical techniques involve risks. Even the most noninvasive surgery still involves the manipulation of bodily tissues, a process given to inherit levels of risk. Although cataract surgeries are performed hundreds of thousands of times every year in America alone, and are generally considered to be very safe, the following risks may still be encountered postoperatively:

• Infection;
• Bleeding;
• Reaction to certain prescribed medications;
• Slightly increased risk of retinal detachment;
• Vision flashes and “floaters”
• More…

There’s generally very little or no pain associated with cataract surgeries. Complications are few and success rates are very high. Remember that cataracts that do not receive prompt and effective medical intervention can lead to total loss of sight. Still, when entering into any surgical situation, you need to exercise caution and make sure that you have all of your questions answered thoroughly before the procedure. Talk to an experienced cataract surgeon today in order to make sure that cataract surgery is right for you.
