OBSERVE YOUR CHILD: Do they hold object very close to their eyes? If you see them Excessively rubbing their eyes, blink or squint after close visual work? Do they off and on complain of headaches after reading? Becomes tired after reading? Do they complained for having difficulty in comprehending what they have read? Complain of headaches or eyestrain?

WE CARE FOR YOUR CHILD Glass number – About 20-30% of the normal school going children have some kind of eye problems like Refractive Error (glass numbers). Amblyopia or Lazy Eye – Amblyopia also called as lazy eye disorder of sight which results in decreased vision in an child’s eye that otherwise appears normal, or out of proportion to associated structural problems of the eye. Squint – It is a condition in which the two eyes point in different directions. One eye may turn either in, or out while the other eye aims straight ahead. Due to this condition, both eyes do not always aim simultaneously at the same object. This results in a partial or total loss of stereo vision and binocular depth perception. The eye turns may be visible at all times or may come and go. In some cases, the eye misalignments are not obvious to the untrained observer.

Glaucoma is a condition of the human eye where the optic nerve (the one that carries signals from the eye to the brain) gets damaged due to excessive pressure inside your eye.

WHAT IS CORNEA? Cornea is the transparent outermost layer of the human eye. Technically speaking, the cornea is not a single layer; it’s made of five delicate membranes that are arranged one below the other. Cornea plays a major role in focusing person’s vision. Cornea is transparent and spherical in shape which helps in refracting light from any object to create its image on retina thereby enabling us to see the object clear and sharp. As per World Health Organization corneal blindness is the fourth leading cause of blindness in India. The corneal surface and its structure are very delicate. Any injury or infection of the cornea can lead to damage leading to loss of corneal transparency and thereby disrupting the normal vision which might also lead to blindness. Common problems that affect the cornea are corneal ulcers, keratitis (inflammation of the cornea) and keratoconus (thinning of the cornea) apart from the allergies, infections like herpes and the corneal abrasions caused by external injuries. GENERAL SYMPTOMS OBSERVED ARE: Pain Reduced Vision Inability to open eyes in bright light Redness Watering Swelling of the eyelid TREATMENT Corneal Transplant: Treating corneal blindness is possible through corneal transplant. In this treatment, a healthy cornea is transplanted in place of a diseased cornea. Penetrating Keratoplasty where in the entire cornea is replaced with a donated cornea. Lamellar Keratoplasty where a partial part of the cornea which is diseased is replaced with a donated cornea.

WHAT IS RETINA? Retina is the innermost layer of the eye and is light sensitive in nature. When we see an object, the light rays pass through the lens in our eyes and fall on the retina. They get converted into neural signals/impulses here and the optic nerve carries these visual stimuli to the brain that translates them back as images. COMMON SYMPTOMS: Here are some common ailments affecting the retina: 1. Diabetic Retinopathy – This develops in patients affected by diabetes 2. Macular Degeneration – Cells of the macula deteriorate leading to blurry vision 3. Retinal Detachment – The retina is torn and is pulled away from the back of the eye

LASIK LASER TREATMENT Lasik Laser treatment is an option for eye power correction which is been in vogue for over two decades now. The first laser vision correction was performed in Germany in the late 80’s and since then, there’ve been major advancements, that have improved the quality of the surgery in terms of safety and precision. With advancement in technology those who were rejected earlier for some or other reasons, we are able to offer a very good chance to get rid of spectacle with the new technology acquired at ISHA NETRALAYA. LASIK PROCESS Before proceeding for Lasik Surgery the cornea is tested with Sirius a high precision instrument which does complete 3d analysis of the cornea enabling us to check the eligibility of the patient.
