Cataract surgery is a common and highly successful procedure performed to restore vision by removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Traditionally, IOLs were designed with a fixed power, but advancements in technology have led to the development of a more customizable option, namely, the Light Adjustable Lens […]

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) has become increasingly common among military personnel, as it offers a viable solution to reduce their reliance on corrective lenses and improve their overall visual acuity. LASIK works by reshaping the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, using an excimer laser. This process can effectively improve the eye’s ability […]

Understanding Keratoconus: Causes, Symptoms, and Progression Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape can significantly impact your vision, making it difficult to see clearly. The exact causes of keratoconus are not fully understood, but […]

Understanding Keratoconus: Causes and Symptoms Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape can significantly affect your vision, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks. The exact causes of keratoconus are not fully understood, but […]

Traditionally, patients with advanced keratoconus had very few options for treating corneal ectasia. In the early days, the only option they were offered was generally a full corneal transplant (penetrating keratoplasty). More recently, partial thickness corneal transplants (anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK, DALK)) came into play as a slightly less invasive procedure. Intrastromal corneal ring segments, […]

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular and highly effective refractive eye surgery that has been transforming the lives of individuals with vision problems for decades. This innovative procedure has gained widespread acclaim for its ability to correct a range of refractive errors, including nearsightedness, also known as myopia. Let’s delve into the intricacies of […]

Are you considering LASIK surgery to improve your vision, but you are unsure about the process or you are concerned about potential risks? You’re not alone. Many people have preconceived notions about LASIK that may be preventing them from taking the first step towards clearer, sharper eyesight. To help you make an informed decision about […]

Understanding Cataract Surgery and Its Challenges Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful surgical procedures performed worldwide. It involves the removal of the clouded natural lens of the eye and its replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision. While traditional cataract surgery has been highly effective, it has […]

Corneal tissue addition keratoplasty (CTAK) is a novel surgical procedure that plays a crucial role in the treatment of keratoconus. This innovative technique involves adding sterilized donor corneal tissue, cut into a customized inlay to improve corneal topography and visual acuity. The cornea is the transparent, outermost layer of the eye that serves as the […]

LASIK, or Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, is a popular and widely-performed refractive eye surgery that aims to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. During the procedure, a laser is used to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to improve its ability to focus light onto the retina, […]
