Dry eye syndrome is caused by a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. Consequences of dry eyes range from subtle but constant eye irritation to significant inflammation and even scarring of the front surface of the eye. Dry eyes are very common, and dry eye syndrome is a major reason for visits to the eye doctor.Symptoms tend to affect both eyes, and can include: Burning and red eyesFeelings of soreness, grittiness or dryness, which get worse as the day goes onEyelids that are often stuck together when you wake up in a morningBlurred vision, which is better after youve blinkedPeriods of excess tears, which follows a dry spellHeavy eyelidsUncomfortable sensations when wearing your contact lensesStruggling to read or carry out tasks that require extended periods of concentration with your eyesStringy discharge Have you been frustrated with the need for frequent eye drop use in your attempt to control your symptoms?Dry Eye Treatment In Mumbai At Ojas Eye Hospital, we offer a revolutionary treatment using Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT) to get rid of the root cause of your dry, red, fatigued and burning eyes and help your eyes feel calm and clear while reducing your dependency on eye drops.

Retina is like the film in a camera. Retina is the third and inner coat of the eye which is a light-sensitive layer of tissue. When the focused light hits the retina, a picture is created and sent to the brain through the optic nerve (the nerve of the eye), thus giving us vision. Sometimes part of the retina either tears, pulls away or detaches from the back of the eye; when this occurs that part of the retina cannot gather light ans results in vision loss. Diseases and conditions of the retina Age-Related Macular DegenerationDiabetic RetinopathyRetinal tearRetinal Detachment Age-Related Macular DegenerationWhat causes in AMD? During normal aging, yellowish deposits, called drusen, form under the retina, which is the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye that provides clear, sharp images. As drusen increase in size and number, they can interfere with proper functioning of the retina, damaging or killing the light-sensitive cells of the macula. Because the maculas light-sensitive cells provide the ability to have sharp, detailed vision, the results can be blurring of central vision and a devastating impact on the ability to enjoy activities of daily life, such as reading, driving, or even recognizing the face of a friend or family member. This form of age-related macular degeneration is called dry AMD. Dry AMD can be a precursor to wet AMD.Dry AMD can be a precursor to wet AMD Wet AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels behind the retina start to grow under the macula. These blood vessels often leak blood and fluid, damaging or killing light-sensitive cellsloss of vision occurs quickly. Although approximately 80 percent of patients with age-related macular degeneration have dry AMD, wet AMD is responsible for 80 to 90 percent of severe loss of vision with this disease.

LASIK or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis is one of the most trusted laser eye surgeries for the treatment lasikasaof Myopia (near-sightedness), Hyperopia (far-sightedness), and Astigmatism (blurred vision). This laser vision correction technique is performed on the cornea so that light entering the eye can be focused on the retina for clearer vision. LASIK will completely eliminate your dependence on spectacles or contact lenses in a short 15 minute surgery.What Is Custom Lasik? Custom LASIK is a procedure that involves the use of a wavefront analyzer which helps the surgeon to customize the LASIK procedure to every individual eye. Customized procedure enables a person to see clearer and shaper than before and thus improves the quality of vision. Custom LASIK uses an equipment called the wavefront analyzer (aberrometer) to accurately measure the way light travels through the eye.The resulting map of the eye is then programmed into the laser, which then treats the eye, based on the personalized 3Dmap. Custom LASIK helps to treat higher order aberrations, which are tiny imperfections in the optical system of the eye. They have a significant impact on the quality of vision especially at night . In fact, higher order aberrations are not treatable with contact lenses, glasses or conventional LASIK.

The opacification of the normal transparent lens is called cataract. The Latin word cataracta means waterfall. Imagine trying to peer through a sheet of falling water or through a frosted or fogged-up window. Development of Cataract varies from person to person but as a general rule, most cataracts develop slowly over a period of time. A cataract can take months or even years to reach a point where it adversely affects vision.Causes of cataractAge-related cataract The cataract occurs as a result of the natural aging process of lens fibres which become opaque over a period of time.Traumatic cataract Due to a direct penetrating injury.Concussion- Electric shock and lightning.Ionizing radiation done as treatment for ocular tumors.Surgical trauma Metabolic cataract: Defect in body metabolism DiabetesGalactosaemia -inborn error of metabolismCalcium disorders

Oculoplastic Surgery is cosmetic and reconstructive procedures on the eyelids, orbit (bones and anatomic structures behind the eyeball) and lacrimal (tear drain) system.Orbit The cavity in the skull that contains the eye is called the orbit formed from parts of frontal, sphenoid, zygomatic, lachrymal, ethmoid, palatine and maxillary bones. Eye doctor plays a role in treating /managing fracture of any of these bones in case of trauma.Oculoplasty Patients of all ages may need Oculoplasty, i.e. eyelid and facial reconstructive surgery for needs purely cosmetic or purely functional. The most advanced and innovative techniques of facial and eyelid surgery for such conditions as excess upper eyelid skin that obstructs vision (bleharoplasty), eyelid ptosis(droopy eyelids), entropion(eyelids that turn in), ectropion(eyelids that turn out), problems of the tear ducts, and thyroid eye disease.
