Whois & Analysis for srieyecarehospital.com

Keratoconus (KC) is a disorder of the eye that results in progressive thinning of the cornea.

This may result in blurry vision, double vision, nearsightedness, irregular astigmatism, and light sensitivity leading to poor quality-of-life.

Usually both eyes are affected.

In more severe cases a scarring or a circle may be seen within the cornea.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that result in damage to the optic nerve (or retina) and cause vision loss.

The most common type is open-angle (wide angle, chronic simple) glaucoma, in which the drainage angle for fluid within the eye remains open, with less common types including closed-angle (narrow angle, acute congestive) glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma.

Open-angle glaucoma develops slowly over time and there is no pain.

Peripheral vision may begin to decrease, followed by central vision, resulting in blindness if not treated.

Closed-angle glaucoma can present gradually or suddenly.

The sudden presentation may involve severe eye pain, blurred vision, mid-dilated pupil, redness of the eye, and nausea.

Vision loss from glaucoma, once it has occurred, is permanent.

Eyes affected by glaucoma are referred to as being glaucomatous.

LASIK or Lasik (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), commonly referred to as laser eye surgery or laser vision correction, is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and an actual cure for astigmatism, since it is in the cornea.

LASIK surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist who uses a laser or microkeratome to reshape the eye's cornea in order to improve visual acuity.

For most people, LASIK provides a long-lasting alternative to eyeglasses or contact lenses.

The retina (from "net") is the innermost, light-sensitive layer of tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

The optics of the eye create a focused two-dimensional image of the visual world on the retina, which then processes that image within the retina and sends nerve impulses along the optic nerve to the visual cortex to create visual perception.

The retina serves a function which is in many ways analogous to that of the film or image sensor in a camera.

A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of the eye that leads to a decrease in vision.

Cataracts often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes.

Symptoms may include faded colours, blurry or double vision, halos around light, trouble with bright lights, and difficulty seeing at night.

This may result in trouble driving, reading, or recognizing faces.

Poor vision caused by cataracts may also result in an increased risk of falling and depression.

Cataracts cause 51% of all cases of blindness and 33% of visual impairment worldwide.
