What is Keratoconus? Keratoconus is a progressive disease of the cornea affecting young adults mostly in their twenties. It is characterized by progressive thinning of the normally round cornea causing it to bulge forward and assume a cone like shape .This irregularity in the cornea results in the formation of distorted images of objects on...
Normally, the lens in the eye changes shape to focus light directly onto the retina (back of the eye). But with age, the lens hardens and ciliary muscles of the eye weaken.Thus, near objects cannot be clearly focussed. This makes them look blurry. What is ‘Presbyopia’? This condition is caused due to the eye’s normal...
What is the significance of the cornea? The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye. It is an important optical structure through which rays of light enter the eye. Any damage or injury to this delicate structure can lead to permanent loss of corneal transparency or in other words cause clouding and opacification....
What is Age Related Macular Degeneration? Age-related macular degeneration is a common cause of vision loss in people over the age of sixty. It progressively destroys your sharp central vision.

While one eye focuses on a particular object, the other eye focuses away from it — either downwards or upwards. Sometimes it may even focus away and come back, and sometimes it keeps moving back & forth between the...
We see through the cornea which is clear, central part of the front surface of our eyes. The cornea is dome shaped but is not strong enough to hold on to the shape and it bulges out like a cone. This condition is called keratoconus. What causes Keratoconus? Our eyes contain tiny fibers of protein...
Men and women really don’t see eye to eye, according to a new study. Females are better at discriminating among colors, researchers say, while males excel at tracking fast-moving objects and discerning detail from a distance—evolutionary adaptations possibly linked to our hunter-gatherer past. A research was conducted at State University of New York for students...
Phakic IOL (ICL & Verisyse) Surgically implanted lenses, also called phakic IOLs (intra ocular lenses), are a new option for people seeking more permanent correction of common vision errors such as myopia (nearsightedness). These implants, which resemble contact lenses, are placed between the clear front covering of the eye (cornea) and the iris (colored portion...

Micro-incision Phaco-emulsification What is a cataract? The natural lens of the human eye causes light to be focused and produces clear, sharp images. Cataracts result in the clouding of the natural lens of the eye causing blurred vision. Description Micro-incisions and phaco-emulsification is an advanced procedure wherein the surgeon removes the cataract through a small...
Until recently, glaucoma surgery was a choice in cases of ‘Angle Closure glaucoma‘ with angle synechiae or in medically uncontrolled ‘Open angle Glaucoma‘ and the procedure was limited to Trabeculectomy. This was a type of guarded filtering surgery where the damaged angle of the anterior chamber was by-passed and fluid from the eye was directed...
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is another option for the management of glaucoma. It is a procedure that helps to drain out fluids in the eye to reduce intra-ocular pressure. If left unattended, this intra-ocular pressure will damage the optic nerve and cause loss of vision. The procedure involves the application of short pulses of low...
