Eye surgery

international disability and development organization that strives to aid people who have an impediment or disability. They treat disabilities and empower individuals to become active member in society. Light of the World specializes in inclusive education, eye health, prevention of blindness, and community based rehabilitation; through these four concentrations, they aspire to change the world. They are currently engaged with multiple local, national, and international organizations that…

During cataract surgery, a small incision is made to your eye in order remove the cloudy lens and clean it out or replace it with a new news. As a result, this small incision leads to inflammation around the eye area after surgery. A few signs may include swelling and redness. While the inflammation should go away a few days after your surgery is complete it can be uncomfortable to deal with. Luckily, there are a few tips you can use in order to reduce the inflammation around your eyes until it…

emergency that occurs when the thin sensory layer of the eye becomes separated from the rest of the eye. This cause vision changes and blindness if not taken care of properly. Proper nursing care and patient compliance is essential in restoring functioning of the eye and protecting against serious complications. ( Williams, 2011)(WebMD, 2016). Anatomy and Physiology The retina in a thin layer of tissue that is covered in nerve cells at the back of the eye. The retina is the tissue that houses…

inside the eye. The pressure in the eye is raised because fluid (aqueous humor) within the eye cannot get out through the normal drainage system. The increased pressure can cause damage to the nerves of the eye. This can result in loss of vision. It is important to diagnose glaucoma early before damage occurs. Early treatment can often prevent vision loss. There are two main types of glaucoma: • Open-angle glaucoma. This is a chronic condition that causes the pressure inside the eye to rise…

associated with elevated eye pressure (intraocular pressure). In general, it is the high intraocular pressure, which leads to eye damage. In some cases, glaucoma can occur in the presence of normal eye pressure. This form of glaucoma seems to be caused…

is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. The most common type is open-angle glaucoma with less common types including closed-angle glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma develops slowly over time and there is no pain. Side vision may begin to decrease followed by central vision resulting in blindness if not treated. Closed-angle glaucoma can present gradually or suddenly.

great deal stress. The essential needs of these animals are rarely met by laboratories causing the animals to live a grim life (Harm). The tests performed on these animals are disturbing. One of these tests includes the draize eye test. During this test, the rabbit 's eyes are held open with clamps without the ability to blink, just to test shampoos. Some of the animals are burned to test the healing process. Some tests are just done to see if the product can kill the animal (Animal). This is…

minuscule living organisms that cannot be seen to the naked eye. However due to the physical laws restricting light to pass through conventional lens to see these small items, we had begun to be dependent on microscopes for scientific discoveries, until now. Over the past decade, scientists have developed these “bionic lenses” that have actually…

to remove vitreous from your eye and replace it with a saltwater solution (saline). Vitreous is a sticky, gel-like substance that fills most of the inside of the eyeball. The vitreous is clear and needs to stay clear for you to see properly. This procedure is done to stabilize or improve your vision. You may need this procedure if: • Your vitreous is cloudy. • Your vitreous is pulling on the structures it touches and risks tearing them. • You have a severe eye injury. • You have…

there are certain techniques and practices that practitioners adopt. Most use standard ways of correcting and improving the vision of their patients, similar to what Duffy says, “An optometrist conducts eye examinations, prescribes corrective contact lenses and glasses, and diagnoses and treats eye diseases and disorders” (Duffy “Different Types”). Even though there are common practices there are, like most other practices, alternate ways to fix problems that patients have. One of these…
