Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes in which high blood sugar levels over time can cause the blood vessels to swell, leak, or close, affecting the retina’s ability to detect light and transmit signals to the brain.
This can result in symptoms like blurred vision, floaters, and dark spots, and if left untreated, lead to severe vision loss.
At Thakur Eye Hospital, we specialize in early detection and advanced treatment of diabetic retinopathy with world-class technology.
Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition where the retina separates from the underlying tissue
It can cause:
1. Blurred vision
2. Flashes of light
3. Dark spots or sudden vision loss.
If untreated, it may lead to permanent blindness.
At Thakur Eye and maternity Hospital our expert surgeons use advanced vitreoretinal techniques to repair and restore the retina.
Eye transplantation, also known as corneal transplantation or keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with a healthy donor cornea. There are two types of corneal transplantation:
1) full thickness corneal transplantation and
2) Lamellar corneal transplantation in which layers of cornea are replaced. A few types of lamellar corneal transplantation are Deep Anterior lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) , Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) , Descemet Membrane Endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).
Reasons for Eye Transplantation
1. Corneal damage: Injury, infection, or disease.
2. Corneal disease: Conditions like keratoconus, Fuchs’ dystrophy, or corneal edema.
Benefits
1. Improved vision: Restoring vision and reducing vision loss.
2. Relief from pain: Alleviating discomfort and pain.
Squint, or strabismus, is a condition where the eyes are misaligned, and the gaze is not directed in the same direction. This can cause:
1. Vision problems: Double vision, blurred vision, or loss of depth perception.
2. Eye strain: Headaches, eye fatigue, or discomfort.
3. Cosmetic concerns: Misaligned eyes can affect appearance and self-esteem.
4. Amblyopia (lazy eye): If left untreated, squint can lead to amblyopia, where the brain favors one eye over the other.
