Ignoring minor symptoms can lead to vision problems. You should seek medical attention if you notice sudden blurring of vision, flashes of light, water vision, double vision, changes in vision direction, physical changes to the eye, abnormal color vision, eyelid infections, or trauma or accidents near the eye.
Even in the absence of symptoms, regular consultations with an ophthalmologist, especially in older age, are recommended for early detection of any abnormalities. As we age, the risk of developing conditions like cataracts increases. Early detection allows for timely intervention and management.
Some common eye disorders we treat include:
- Glaucoma: Excess pressure on the optic nerve leading to symptoms such as headaches and blurred vision.
- Cataracts: Cloudy film formation on the eye lens, typically affecting the elderly.
- Retinal diseases: Conditions affecting the layer of nerves at the back of the eye responsible for sensing light.
- Corneal disorders: Conditions affecting the cornea and pupil.
- Eyelid infections: Infections affecting the eyelids and eyelashes.
- Neuroophthalmology: Vision impairment due to brain abnormalities.
- Pediatric eye disorders: Conditions like crossed eyes.
