End-Stage AMD is the final stage of age-related macular degeneration wherein core vision loss is experienced. Central or core vision is what assists a person in recognizing individuals, observing facial expressions, reading and enjoying the optical world encircling us. End-Stage AMD would make it harder or unattainable to do the above functions and could arise from dry/wet AMD types and is incurable with medications. The CentraSight Treatment approach employs mini telescope whose implantation is done within the eye for improving eyesight and quality of existence. It is apt for people afflicted with end-stage AMD. The telescope implant is helpful as it uses normal, unaffected retinal regions for seeing rather than central part (macula) that has undergone degeneration. The CentraSight therapy  [...] 

A novel technology that implants mini telescopes into the eyes as a means of improving vision has generated immense interest globally and proffered sanguinity to scores of macular degeneration patients. Macular degeneration is among the key reasons for sightlessness among elderly folk, assaulting core vision. The condition could make it difficult to read, watch television and make recognizing faces trickier. Vision restoration was possible among the several macular degeneration patients who enrolled in a trial for the new-fangled technology. What, in fact, appears magical, is science at its finest – an embeddable mini telescope, tiny proportion of a shape of a coinage inserted within the eye. Elucidating its finer nuances, Dr. Kathryn Colby from Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, states  [...] 

Laser surgery could be widely effectual in treating narrow-angle glaucoma. It is generally a swift, moderately trouble-free method and often conducted in the doctor’s office. Majority forms of medical insurance also provide cover for this procedure. Narrow-angle glaucoma is less prevalent in comparison to open-angle glaucoma, involving the eye’s drainage area contracting. This tapering occurs due to the iris in the eye moving nearer to the drainage area in prone persons. There could be an increase in intraocular pressure and resultant narrow-angle glaucoma when the iris has moved that near to the drainage area that it has closed it. In case the condition is not treated instantaneously it could lead to lasting vision failure. Laser procedure for treating narrow-angle glaucoma is often the  [...] 

Sunridge International, a pioneering developer of non-invasive as well as safe glaucoma treatment, made a proud announcement of having received consent for the company’s Pneumatic Trabeculoplasty treatment or PNT in China from the SFDA (State Food and Drug Administration). Sunridge International with its entirely held ancillary, Ophthalmic International, the firm produces vacuum fixation devices and copyrighted design suction rings for treating open angle glaucoma. G. Richard Smith, chief executive officer of Sunridge International made the pronouncement stating that the SFDA consent marks a significant stride ahead for the firm, which it hopes would be able to provide respite with its PNT glaucoma treatment to scores of Chinese suffering from this eye condition. Mr. Smith further added that  [...] 

Open-angle glaucoma is the most prevalent form of glaucoma wherein there is no noticeable impediment to the drainage area within the eye. It is deemed that there might be an undetectable impediment in the trabecular meshwork – an eye structure that carries out fluid drainage. Such a form of glaucoma generally is asymptomatic till the harm and ocular failure has progressed significantly. Laser Procedure for Open-Angle Glaucoma Open-angle glaucoma treatment employing laser is an endeavour at lowering pressure within the eyes. The treatment generally entails least amount of discomforting sensations and is concluded in lesser than thirty minutes. This form of laser is usually effectual in nearly eighty percent of the patients that have opted for the method. At times the advantageous outcome of  [...] 

LASIK laser vision rectification has become widely popular among vast populace of people from all walks of life. However, prior to opting for this procedure commonly addressed queries and concerns raised comprise of: Would LASIK surgery be a painful procedure? LASIK surgery is a swift, pain-free method taking no more than ten minutes for each eye. A non-invasive procedure wherein on closure of eyelids and gentle placement of a finger tip on the upper eyelid, one would replicate the feeling experienced on undergoing the all-laser Intralase Lasik. On commencement of the method, de-sensitizing ocular drops are administered for anaesthetizing the eye hence no jabs needed. Almost no discomforting sensation is felt by the patient and sutures are not needed because of the amazing curative power of  [...] 

Refractive eye surgery is immensely beneficial in rectification of ocular refractive errors and reducing dependence of eye glasses and contact lenses. It has established success rates in diminishing refractive error issues like myopia – nearsighted vision, astigmatism – corneal elongation, hyperopia – farsighted vision among several others. The remedy encompasses 4 forms of refractive eye surgery methods, namely: Corneal incision. Flap and photoablation. Implants. Thermal methods. In present times, current technology facilitates usage of laser for corneal re-shaping. In flap method, the doctor incises a small flap in the cornea for re-shaping the tissue beneath and rectifying refractive error. Lasik or Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis are popularly chosen in the area of refractive  [...]
