subject: Know More About Eye Surgery In Glasgow [print this page] Drooping eyelids are prevalent in our societyDrooping eyelids are prevalent in our society. The causes of this condition are somewhat mysterious. It can be attributed to genetic predisposition, allergies or the catchall condition of just getting older. A drooping eyelid can occur over just one eye, which creates an "off" appearance that can make people uncomfortable or both eyelids.
Drooping Eyelid Surgery (blepharoplasty) is a common cosmetic plastic surgery to remove excess skin, muscle or fat from the upper and lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty cosmetic surgery enhances baggy skin under the eyes, sinking upper eyelids, or eye lashes that droop and impair vision. The surgery may also be done to treat a medical condition called ptosis (drooping eyelid), that is caused by poor muscle tone or nerve damage. Ptosis makes the eyelids hang very low and block vision. Blepharoplasty helps drooping eyelids, but not eyebrows or wrinkles that droop. It is usually performed with another type of cosmetic surgery like a facelift brow-lift to improve facial sagging, droopy eyebrows, or crow's feet.
Glaucoma is a condition of the eye that can result in serious problems if left untreated for a long time. It is caused when there is a build up of pressure in the eye. It is a slow developing condition but in the advanced stages of it the chances are high that the eye sight has been severely affected already. That is why it is always absolutely crucial to get treatment for it as quickly as possible after diagnosis. Glaucoma can cause blurred vision or double vision and eventually may lead to blindness.
The first course of Tratment for Glaucoma is usually eye drops. These are prearranged in the hope that the passageways are unclogged, allowing the fluid to flow freely once more. In the scenarios where the problem is not so easily fixed, for example when there is not enough space between the iris and the cornea, additional treatment may be required. Glaucoma laser eye surgery is sometimes necessary in order to relieve the pressure in the eye. This surgery works by using lasers to reshape the cornea to help the fluid in the eye flow better. It is a very effective type of surgery and has helped millions of people all over the world so far.
The retina is a thin membrane attached to the back of the eye. It carries specialized sense receptors that make vision possible. These retinal cells are known as rods (which register black and white only) and cones (which react to color). A person has about 10 million cones and 100 million rods on the retina of each eye.
Retinal Detachment Surgery Glasgow is necessary if the retina is detached but this should be done quickly since rods and cones die if they are separated from their source of nourishment for a long time. Once this happens, the patient becomes blind and nothing can restore his or her vision. Retinal detachment is currently a medical condition which is difficult to treat and therefore, the potential contribution of Ayurvedic herbal treatment assumes special significance. It is important that all such patients should be under the regular care and supervision of a team of Ophthalmologists.
