Treatment for Keratoconus
Treatment for Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a congenital eye disease. It relates to this, that the shape of the cornea changes; it becomes thinner and takes a cone-like shape. Its curvature with time undergoes more changes and the patient clearly experiences a drastic worsening of his vision. The final stage of the development of the disease leads to an inevitable transplant of the cornea, but thanks to the cross-linking method, this can be avoided.
Cataract treatment
Cataracts are related to age and the clouding of the cornea and is the most common of all eye diseases. Lenses grow throughout life but can only become larger and thicker in a limited range.
Treatment for Astigmatism
Besides the most prevalent vision defects, like shortsightedness and farsightedness, more and more diagnosed among patients is astigmatism. What characterizes this disease and its concerns? Astigmatism is an ailment which is affecting more and more people and usually accompanies other eye defects. It is often connected with shortsightedness and farsightedness and with older people with cataracts.
Treatment for Farsightedness
Farsightedness, commonly called hyperopia, is one of the most common vision defects. A cause for its occurrence is too short of an eyeball or too small of an eye covering. The focus occurs beyond the retina and not where it should, namely on the retina. Farsightedness is characterized by weakly seeing objects, which are up close.
Treatment for Nearsightedness
Nearsightedness, or myopia, is a relatively frequent vision weakness. In most cases it is caused by the lengthening of the eyeball or too much light refraction in the eye. The light does not focus on the retina, but the focus is in front of the retina. This means that looking at a distance, the retina receives only a blurry picture.
Treatment for Presbyopia
Presbyopia is not an eye defect but a series of changes that effects the eyes with aging. Estimates state that nearly 10 million Poles struggle with presbyopia, completely having no idea and treating the problem with reading the fine print or failing night vision as something normal.
