Why Eye really Important?

What do you know about Cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the world today. Cataract surgery involves the removal of the cloudy crystalline lens from the eye. Typically, cataract surgery is considered when cataracts begin to cause symptoms that interfere with daily activities.

Eye Surgeons of Indiana specializes in modern cataract surgery using a no-shot, no-stitch, no-patch technique. A tiny, self-sealing incision is made into the cornea at the front of the eye. An advanced technique called phacoemulsification, which utilizes ultrasound technology, is used to remove the cataract. The natural lens shell, or capsule, is left behind. Finally, an artificial lens known as an intraocular lens implant (IOL) is placed in this capsule to restore focusing power within the eye. The entire procedure takes approximately 10-15 minutes. eyesurgeonsofindiana.com

Diabetic eye disease refers to a group of eye problems that people with diabetes may face as a complication of this disease. Eye disease caused by diabetes. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Diabetic. See? This is not simple eye problem.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide, and, in the United States, it is the most common cause of blindness in people younger than 65 years of age. In addition to being a leading cause of blindness, diabetic eye disease encompasses a wide range of problems that can affect the eyes.

If the patient has fairly large, rapid shifts in their blood sugar levels, they may notice that their vision becomes blurry. This may occur prior to the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, or it may develop after the initiation of treatment or a change in treatment of diabetes mellitus. This difficulty with vision or focusing will disappear once blood sugar levels have been stable for approximately one week.

Even if the patient has background diabetic retinopathy or early proliferative diabetic retinopathy, it is possible that they may not have any symptoms, or they may experience mild-to-severe blurring or vision loss. Many people with severe diabetic eye disease may not realize that they have a vision problem until it is too late and permanent damage has already occurred. Seems not many people alert about this one. So, be careful!

If the patient has a cataract, vision may become blurry or hazy. At night, the patient may experience glare from oncoming lights. If the patient has glaucoma, they may not experience any symptoms until a significant loss of vision has already occurred.

Diabetic retinopathy is a common eye disease that occurs in people with diabetes. Those who suffer from diabetes are also at high risk for other eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts. All of these eye diseases can cause severe vision loss to blindness.

Diabetic retinopathy disease process caused by the changes that occur in blood vessels of the retina, a thin membrane formed from nerve cells that line the back 2 / 3 pupils. Nerve cells in the retina to receive light and send signals to the brain about what is seen by the eye.

Diabetic retinopathy consists of 2 stages, namely:

Nonproliferatif retinopathy. An early stage of this disease process. During diabetes, this condition causes the small blood vessel walls in the eye weakens. Small bumps occur on the blood vessels (mikroaneurisma) which can be broken so that the fluid and proteins leak into the retina. The reduced blood flow to the retina causes the formation of spot-shaped “cotton wool” gray or white. Deposition of fat white proteins yellow (hard exudate) was also formed on the retina. These changes may not affect vision unless fluid and protein from damaged blood vessels cause swelling in the center of the retina (macula). This condition is called macular edema, which can exacerbate one’s central vision.

Proliferative retinopathy. Nonproliferatif retinopathy can progress to proliferative retinopathy is more severe stages of diabetic retinopathy disease. The main forms of proliferative retinopathy is the growth (proliferation) of fragile blood vessels on the surface of the retina. Abnormal blood vessels are easily broken, bleeding eyeball in the middle of that block vision. Will form scar tissue that can pull the retina so that the retina regardless of the place. If left untreated, proliferative retinopathy can permanently damage the retina and other portion-portion of the eye, which causes severe vision loss or blindness.

Diabetic retinopathy is usually developed into several levels in most type 1 diabetics and some type 2 diabetics. Supervision of blood sugar levels can prevent the risk of strict development becomes severe retinopathy and vision loss. In the event of retinopathy, the early detection and appropriate treatment (most often with lasers) can help prevent, hinder or alter the loss of vision.

Those who suffer from diabetes, had to check her eyes to an ophthalmologist (oftalmologis) every year, even if they do not have the eye disease despite complaints. Dibetes American Association recommends a yearly inspection (starting in 3 to 5 years after being diagnosed with diabetes type 1 and soon after was diagnosed with diabetes tipe2) with the following reasons:

Someone who developed diabetic retinopathy unknowingly because the disease does not always cause symptoms until retina damage worse. Treatment would be more effective if done before the symptoms and complications developed retinopathy. With a regular eye examination, an eye doctor can find out and treat before the signs of retinopathy continues.

Unfortunately, many diabetics who did not check his eyes once a year to find out if she had retinopathy (or other eye disease caused by diabetes). As a result, they did not know that they have suffered from retinopathy until significant vision loss. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of new blindness in people aged between 20 to 74 years. The experts believe many cases of vision loss and blindness can be prevented by conducting an annual eye examination in diabetics.

Ps: Might be retine Diabetic can be cured by Dr Eyes products. Who know, right?

I believe most of you already know about Lasik surgery. But did you know about iLASIK? Did you ever heard or listen anywhere before? If yes, thats good. If not, i believe you might be interested to know more about this interesting thing. Agree? Ok. What is iLASIK?

iLASIK  is painless and simple. The doctor precisely and uniquely measures and maps the uniqueness of both of your eyes – down to the most minuscule characteristics individual to you. The 3D mapping technology literally creates a blueprint or fingerprint of your eye, allowing the doctor to then custom-fit the iLASIK procedure for each of your eyes.

The iLASIK procedure is revolutionized by the use of two computer-guided lasers – instead of one as in earlier generations of LASIK. The first, ultra-fast laser and blade free laser creates a thin corneal flap, which is then folded back to allow the second laser to correct your vision based on the exact specification and measurements of your eyes. The procedure takes just minutes. Patients experience a quick virtually painless procedure with the potential of 20/20 or better vision and outstanding safety as a result of reduced flap complications. Klinikmatanusantara.com

To be honest, this is the first time i heard about iLASIK when i try to seek any alternative treatment for eyes problem like blind, cataracts, astigmatism, glaucoma and the rest. Seems like it different between lasik surgery and iLASIK. The surprise this, according to Klinikmatanusantara website, they claim they the only place at Indonesia that can perform iLASIK. I guess, its good for people from that country because they have that technology and can help more people who have problem with their eyes. So, any indonesian people who have eye problem and need iLASIK, you can go and ask them if your eye problem can solved by them.

Ps: I wonder if any clinic or hospital in Malaysia have iLASIK technology too. Didn’t we have too? I will try to find it soon. Hope more technology like this exist in our country. At least, it increasing percentage to cure eyes problem in Malaysia and improve our body and health.
