Early detection and treatment are crucial for ensuring proper visual development and preventing long-term vision issues.
Retina Services
Retina services typically include a range of treatments and procedures aimed at diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the retina. Here are some common retina services:
- Retinal Imaging: Techniques like OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and fundus photography to capture detailed images of the retina.
- Retinal Laser Treatments: Procedures like laser photocoagulation and laser trabeculoplasty to treat retinal tears, detachments, and other conditions.
- Vitrectomy: Surgery to remove the vitreous gel from the eye, often used to repair retinal detachments or remove scar tissue.
- Retinal Injections: Medications injected into the eye to treat conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
- Scleral Buckling: A surgical procedure to support a detached retina by attaching a silicone band to the eye.
- Uveitis Treatment: Management of inflammation in the middle layer of the eye, which can affect the retina.
ROP check up - Retinopathy of Prematurity Eye Check up
ROP is an eye disease that can affect premature babies. It involves abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, which can potentially lead to vision problems2.
ROP screenings are typically done by an ophthalmologist and are crucial for babies born very prematurely. These check-ups help ensure that any abnormal blood vessel growth is detected and treated early to prevent vision loss.
Squint/Strabismus Evaluation and Surgical Solution
Strabismus, also known as a squint, is a condition where the eyes do not align properly. One eye may turn in, out, up, or down while the other eye focuses on an object1. This misalignment can be constant or intermittent.
Evaluation
The evaluation of strabismus typically involves:
- Comprehensive Eye Examination: An ophthalmologist will assess eye alignment, movement, and coordination.
- Visual Acuity Test: To check for vision problems in each eye.
- Refraction Test: To determine if corrective lenses are needed.
- Health History Review: To identify any underlying conditions that may contribute to strabismus.
Surgical Solutions
Surgical intervention is often considered when non-surgical treatments (like glasses, eye exercises, or patches) are not effective. The goal of surgery is to realign the eyes to improve vision and appearance1. Common surgical procedures include:
- Muscle Tightening (Recession): Adjusting the tension of eye muscles to correct misalignment.
- Muscle Weakening (Resection): Shortening eye muscles to change their pulling force.
- Transposition Surgery:
Oculoplasty and Cosmetic Eye Services
Oculoplasty is a specialized field of ophthalmology that focuses on the surgical treatment of the structures around the eye, including the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit (eye socket). It combines both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery to address a variety of conditions and concerns.
Common Oculoplastic Procedures
- Blepharoplasty: Cosmetic surgery to remove excess skin and fat from the eyelids, often to improve vision or rejuvenate the appearance.
- Ptosis Repair: Surgery to correct drooping eyelids, which can improve vision and appearance.
- Ectropion/Entropion Repair: Correction of eyelid malpositions where the eyelid turns outwards (ectropion) or inwards (entropion).
- Orbital Surgery: Procedures to address issues within the eye socket, such as tumors or fractures.
- Tear Duct Surgery: Treatment for blocked tear ducts to improve tear drainage.
Benefits of Oculoplasty
- Improved Vision: Correcting eyelid malpositions or ptosis can enhance visual function.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Procedures like blepharoplasty can rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes.
- Reconstructive Benefits: Addressing trauma, congenital deformities, or post-surgical defects to restore normal function and appearance.
Low Vision Rehabilitation Services
Rehabilitation services focus on helping individuals adapt to their vision loss and learn new ways to perform daily tasks. This can involve:
- Training with Low Vision Devices: Learning how to use magnifiers, electronic aids, and other devices effectively.
- Orientation and Mobility Training: Helping individuals navigate their environment safely and independently.
- Occupational Therapy: Assisting with daily living activities such as reading, cooking, and shopping.
Vision Rehabilitation Teams
A vision rehabilitation team typically includes:
- Ophthalmologists and Low Vision Specialists: To assess vision and prescribe appropriate devices.
- Occupational Therapists: To help with daily living skills.
- Rehabilitation Teachers: To provide training in using low vision devices and techniques.
- Orientation and Mobility Specialists: To teach safe and independent travel.
