Anatomy of the eye – basic information for nearsighted and farsighted people

Short-sightedness and farsightedness (hyperopia) are the most common vision defects. Both nearsighted and farsighted people are able to accurately describe what problems they face on a daily basis and name the ailments that are associated with their refractive defects. Difficulties arise when we ask them to describe the causes of the defect, because such a description requires knowledge of the anatomy of the eye and how it functions.

Questionnaires to assess patient’s subjective perception of dry eye syndrome symptoms – an invaluable diagnostic aid

Dry eye questionnaires at a glance

  • Questionnaires (including the OSDI) turn subjective complaints into a measurable score – the basis for diagnosing and monitoring dry eye syndrome.
  • We combine the score with an examination of the tear film and meibomian glands – the full qualifying diagnostic work-up costs 200 zł (Warsaw and Kraków).
  • Completing the questionnaire before and after therapy makes it possible to measure treatment progress objectively.
  • If the score confirms dry eye syndrome, we treat the cause with IPL light: E-EYE in Kraków or OptiLIGHT in Warsaw – 800 zł per session.
  • Full guide: dry eye syndrome.

In diagnosing dry eye syndrome, questionnaires are invaluable for estimating the extent of the condition and the number of symptoms in patients who experience this very widespread ocular surface disorder.
