18^th Global Ophthalmology, Optometry and Glaucoma Conference

Vitrectomy The surgery vitrectomy is finished by a master, where the eye depression that loads up with vitreous diversion gel that is evacuated to give better access to the retina. This gives an assortment of repairs, including the freedom of scar tissue, repair of retinal separations utilizing laser and treatment of macular openings. After the medical procedure is done, silicone oil, saline or a gas bubble might be infused into the vitreous gel to help hold the retina in correct position. Diverse kinds of vitrectomies are seen; Foremost Vitrectomy   In uncommon cases, the vitreous gel comes through the pupil into the anterior (front) chamber of the eye. This can happen: •    Following eye injury (damage) •    During complex cornea, cataract , or glaucoma medical procedure •    As an effect of lens issues Since releasing vitreous gel can prompt future issues, a front vitrectomy might be performed to limit hazard and to advance visual recuperation. All ophthalm

The  glaucoma  treatment in exfoliation syndrome is similar to primary open-angle glaucoma. Patients requires an early polytherapy and topical medications in case of frequently, exfoliation glaucoma (XFG). Little prominence has been placed on tailoring treatment specifically to exfoliation glaucoma. New outflow intensifying, agents with novel mechanisms of action, such as Rho Kinase inhibition, NO signaling and adenosine α1-receptor stimulation, directly acts on the  trabecular meshwork . These agents may prove to be effective in lowering  intraocular pressure  and perhaps altering the pathogenesis of exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) aid in the long-term management of this disease.  In exfoliation glaucoma management, initially contains topical ocular hypotensive therapy. However, treatment may be difficult due to greater fluctuations in the diurnal curve and higher baseline  intraocular pressures   (IOPs), compared with POAG patients. Frequently, there is poor response to medical

Glaucoma is the main cause of blindness worldwide as a generic form of optic neuropathy. Presently, there is no exact remedy for glaucoma. Damage to optic nerve and retinal ganglion cells caused by it is everlasting. As the stem cells can divide indefinitely and separate into various cell types, so they can be used easily for cell-replacement therapy. Recent innovations in stem cell research shows generation of pluripotent stem cells by reprogramming technology from adult somatic cells and these have opened new therapeutic potentials. Eye spy – Retinal Stem Cells The retina of the eye is an important tissue which senses light and then sends the visual info to the brain. Any damage to these retinal cells can cause various eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, that can eventually lead to blindness and vision loss. Researchers are in a way to find a replacement or preservation of damaged retinal cells to treat these eye diseases. Stem cells can be useful b

German ophthalmologist Adolf Fick embarked the journey of optometry with a pioneering method of refractive error correction, the “contact glasses”. The first breakthrough occurred when Bausch+Lomb launched the SofLens in the United States, using patents held by the National Patent Development Corp. and with that, the modern contact lens industry was born. Throwing an insight to the lenses : Contact lenses are the medical contraption taken over directly on the cornea of eye to amend refractive blunders by adding or subtracting converging power to the eye's lens. Depended on the type of material, lenses are opted for patients by five types: Soft lenses  are made of hydrogels, a gel-like and water-containing plastic molecules. They are very thin lenses and flexible and imitate to the eyes front surface. Silicone hydrogel lenses  are the progressive type of soft contact lenses which allow more oxygen to reach the cornea and are more permeable than regular hydrogel lens

When someone talks about allergies, people expect them to sneeze. But not only our nose is the part of our body that has an allergy attack – that can also occur in our eyes. Eye Allergies: What’s that? When airborne pollutants like dust and pollen meet the clear membrane, which covers the eyes (conjunctiva), then a substance called histamine is produced by the eyes to repel the allergen. Consequently, the eyelids and conjunctiva become itchy, red and swollen which is known as Eye Allergy . The eyes can tear and burn also. Types Include: Seasonal allergies  happen at certain times of the year - usually early spring through summer and into autumn. Triggers are allergens in the air, commonly pollen from grasses, trees, and weeds, as well as spores from molds. Perennial allergies  happen year-round. Major causes include dust mites, feathers and animal dander. Other elements like perfumes, smoke, chlorine, air pollution, cosmetics and also certain medicines can be a fa

There's not a viable alternative for the personal satisfaction great vision offers. Adding certain supplements daily consume less calories - either through supplements or food - can help protect the vision. Research recommends that antioxidants and other imperative supplements may lessen the danger of macular degeneration and cataracts . Particular antioxidants can have extra advantages also; for instance, vitamin A ensures against visual deficiency and vitamin C may assume a part in counteracting or reducing glaucoma . Omega-3 basic unsaturated fats seem to help the eye in many ways, from lightening manifestations of dry eye disorder to guarding against macular harm. The under said vitamins, minerals and different supplements have been appeared to be fundamental for good vision and may shield the eyes from locate looting conditions and maladies: Beta-carotene, Bioflavonoids (Flavonoids), Lutein and Zeaxanthin, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Selenium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitami
