Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK, which stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis, is a popular surgery to correct vision in people who are nearsighted or farsighted.
- Scheduling routine eye examinations is advised, and screening for eye conditions by an ophthalmologist or trained screener is essential before undergoing laser eye surgery treatment.
Overview
Eye care is for everyone to ensure you enjoy good vision throughout a lifetime. Many people think of eye problems as something that happens to older people, but in fact, there are many conditions that can affect people in all stages of life—even childhood.
in fact, there are many conditions that can affect people in all stages of life—even childhood. Early detection and treatment of childhood eye conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia can help ensure a lifetime of good vision. Most young adults have healthy eyes, but accidental injury is one of the leading causes of vision loss in this age group. Many of the eye problems that harm the vision of older people actually start much earlier. Many of them can be effectively treated and vision preserved if discovered early enough. Ask your Ophthalmologist if you may be at risk for problems like glaucoma or diabetic eye disease, and how often you should have an eye exam.
Healthy eyes can enhance your quality of life and add to the joy of living. The following are indications that your eyes are not normal.

- A curtain in front of the eye.
- Severe pain in one eye with a simultaneous headache on the same side.
The following symptoms require a normal routine visit to your family doctor or ophthalmologist.
- Gradual deterioration of vision in one or both eyes.
- Eye/ Eyes that water constantly.
- Discharge from the eye.
- Painful eye/ eyes.
- Persistent red eye / eyes.

Eye care and children
It is recommended to schedule regular pediatric eye examinations for children. Screening for eye disease by Ophthalmologist, pediatrician or trained screener should be conducted at:
- Newborn to 3 months
- 6 months to 1 year
- 3 years (approximately)
- 5 years (approximately)
Nearly one in twenty preschoolers and one in four school-aged children have a problem that could result in permanent vision loss if left untreated. That is why it is important to have your child’s eyes screened by an Ophthalmologist. An ophthalmologist can detect possible vision problems and take action to correct them early before they become
more serious.
An eye care professional will screen your child for:
A serious disorder in which the brain “shuts off”images from a “weaker” or misaligned eye. The problem can often be corrected by patching the stronger eye for a period of time. If not treated early, the condition can become permanent.
A drooping of the upper eyelid. The lid may droop slightly or it may completely cover the pupil. At times, ptsosis can restrict or block normal vision. Surgery usually corrects the problem, but there are times when medications are used instead.
Sometimes signaled by “crossed eyes,” this disorder can lead to serious vision problems. It can often be corrected with glasses or in some cases surgery.
These include nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. These problems can be corrected with glasses or for older children contact lenses.
Because some of these conditions are easy to miss, early detection and treatment of childhood eye problems is crucial for maintaining good vision throughout life. Consider the recommended schedule for pediatric eye examinations.
