Eye Treatments

Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens, resulting in blurred or distorted vision. This irregular shape prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, leading to difficulties in seeing fine details both up close and at a distance.

Astigmatism can be effectively treated with corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses, that help to compensate for the uneven curvature. Laser eye surgeries, including LASIK and PRK, are popular options that reshape the cornea to correct the refractive error.

In some cases, toric intraocular lenses may be implanted during cataract surgery to address astigmatism. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can significantly improve visual clarity and quality of life.

Flashes and floaters are visual disturbances that can appear suddenly in your field of vision. Floaters are small, shadowy shapes that drift across your sight, caused by tiny clumps within the vitreous gel of the eye.

Flashes, on the other hand, are brief bursts of light that occur when the vitreous gel rubs or pulls on the retina. While floaters are often harmless and a natural part of ageing, a sudden increase in floaters or flashes can indicate a retinal tear or detachment, requiring prompt medical attention.

Treatment options for persistent or severe floaters include laser therapy (vitreolysis) to break up the clumps or vitrectomy surgery to remove the vitreous gel. Regular eye exams are crucial for monitoring these symptoms and ensuring timely intervention if necessary.

Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the white part of the eye and the inner eyelids.

It can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, allergies, or irritants such as smoke and dust. Treatment for conjunctivitis depends on the underlying cause: bacterial conjunctivitis is typically treated with antibiotic eye drops or ointments, while viral conjunctivitis usually resolves on its own and may be managed with cool compresses and lubricating eye drops to alleviate symptoms.

Allergic conjunctivitis can be treated with antihistamine or anti-inflammatory eye drops to reduce itching and swelling. Maintaining good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing and avoiding touching the eyes, is crucial to prevent the spread of infectious conjunctivitis.

Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help relieve symptoms and prevent complications.

Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort, redness, and blurred vision.

This condition can be caused by various factors, including aging, hormonal changes, environmental conditions, and prolonged screen use. Treatment for dry eyes often begins with over-the-counter artificial tears or lubricating eye drops to provide immediate relief.

For more persistent cases, My-iClinic may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications or eye drops that increase tear production. Lifestyle changes, such as taking frequent breaks from screens, using humidifiers, and wearing sunglasses outdoors, can also help manage symptoms.

In some cases, procedures like punctual plugs, which block tear drainage, can be used to retain natural tears on the eye surface longer. Regular eye check-ups are essential for diagnosing and managing dry eye syndrome effectively.

Double vision, or diplopia, occurs when a person sees two images of a single object either some or all of the time. This condition can be caused by various factors, including misalignment of the eyes (strabismus), neurological issues, or problems with the eye muscles.

My-iClinic offers a range of treatments to address double vision based on its underlying cause. Prism glasses can be prescribed to help align the images seen by each eye, reducing or eliminating double vision.

For cases caused by muscle imbalances, vision therapy exercises can strengthen and improve eye coordination. In more severe instances, surgical options may be considered to correct the alignment of the eyes.

Our team of specialists conducts thorough assessments to determine the most appropriate treatment plan, ensuring personalised care to restore clear, single vision. Regular follow-ups and tailored therapies at My-iClinic help patients achieve optimal visual outcomes and improve their quality of life.

Corneal treatments encompass a range of medical interventions aimed at addressing diseases, injuries, and conditions affecting the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye responsible for focusing light.

Common corneal conditions include keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, infections, and injuries, which can significantly impair vision. Treatment options vary based on the specific condition and may include prescription medications, specialised contact lenses, corneal cross-linking, and surgical procedures such as corneal transplants and laser surgeries.

Early detection and treatment are crucial in preventing vision loss and ensuring the best possible outcomes. Specialist care in corneal treatments involves precise diagnostics and tailored therapeutic approaches to restore and maintain corneal health. By addressing corneal issues promptly and effectively, these treatments help preserve clear vision and enhance overall eye health, ensuring patients can maintain a high quality of life.

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone-like shape, leading to distorted vision and increased sensitivity to light. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to manage this condition and prevent severe vision impairment.

Treatment options for keratoconus vary depending on the stage and severity of the condition and may include prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses for mild cases. In more advanced cases, specialised contact lenses, corneal cross-linking to strengthen the corneal tissue, and surgical interventions such as Intacs implants or corneal transplants may be necessary.

These treatments aim to stabilise the cornea, improve vision, and prevent further deterioration. Specialist care in keratoconus involves comprehensive diagnostics, personalised treatment plans, and ongoing monitoring to ensure optimal outcomes. By addressing keratoconus effectively, these treatments help patients maintain clear vision and a good quality of life.

Paediatric eye care is a specialised field focused on the visual health and development of children, addressing a range of conditions from common refractive errors to more complex eye diseases.

Children’s eyes are still developing, making early detection and treatment of vision problems crucial for their overall growth and development. Conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), and refractive errors like myopia and hyperopia can significantly impact a child’s learning and quality of life if left untreated.

Paediatric eye care involves regular eye examinations, prescription of corrective eyewear, vision therapy, and in some cases, surgical interventions. By identifying and correcting these issues early, specialists can ensure that children’s vision develops properly, preventing long-term complications and promoting optimal visual and neurological development.

This proactive approach is essential for safeguarding a child’s future visual health and enhancing their ability to learn and interact with the world around them.

Myopia control involves strategies and treatments aimed at slowing the progression of nearsightedness in children, thereby reducing the risk of severe vision problems in the future.
