A cataract is a cloudiness or opacity of the eye’s natural clear lens. It obstructs the passage of light to the retina (Parda) of the eye and impairs vision. When the lens develops cloudiness to the point that it impairs vision, it is called Cataract. It is like looking through a frosted glass.
Cornea is the transparent front part of the eye. During a cornea transplant, we remove a portion of cornea and replace it with a clear section from the donor. One need a cornea transplant if cornea no longer lets light pass inside the eye because of scarring or disease.
Glaucoma is a silent killer of vision and one of the leading causes of blindness world over. It has no early symptoms. Warning signs, too few and too late, can often be miss leading to irreversible damage to the eye. Only early detection is the key to prevent Glaucoma.
Normally both of our eyes are aligned parallel in all directions with the help of six muscles attached to the outside of each eye. Squint or ‘Teer’, is a condition where eyes are misaligned and point in different directions because some muscles in one eye become weak.
