Your visual field is the entire area of your field of vision than can been seen when the eyes are focused on a single point. Visual field testing is one way helps your ophthalmologist determine your peripheral vision and how much vision loss may have occurred over time.<br />
<br />
The visual field can be tested in a few different ways:<br />
<ul>
<li>confrontation visual field test</li>
<li>automated perimetry test</li>
<li>tangent screen test</li>
</ul>
Using the results of these tests will help your eye doctor to determine if you are having trouble seeing in certain areas of your visual field, as well as possible causes for these difficulties.

<b>The Germs on Our Skin and Hands</b><br />
<br />
There are several types of microorganisms that live on our skin all of the time, including on our faces and hands. These are called Resident Flora, some of which are less likely to be associated with infections, while others may lead to illness when they get into our eyes.<br />
<br />
<b>Protecting Our Eyes from Germs</b><br />
<br />
Most of the time touching our eyes is unavoidable, but keeping your hands off your face is still the best practice to protect your eyes. The best way to do that: start wearing contact lenses or wearing glasses will obviously lessen the contact to a minimum. It's also essential to always keep your hands and fingernails clean to prevent germs from being transferred to our eyes.<br />

<br />
Why are women at higher risk?<br />
It is not particularly clear why women suffer vision loss more likely than men, yet both genders can develop vision loss due to cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration that sooner will lead to blindness if not properly taken care of. But according to the study of the American Academy of Ophthalmology that most patients encountered all these eye conditions, 61% are women.<br />
<br />
Then other findings say according to the World Health Organization the reason of why women develop vision loss more often than men because they outlive men by around six to eight years, which results in age-related vision loss.<br />

<br />
Every day there is new information added to our current knowledge about the severe acute respiratory syndrome COVID-19 virus and how it works.<br />
<br />
Based on the different research it's clear that the virus can be transmitted in droplets spread through coughing and sneezing by infected patients, a new study found that the virus does not seem to be present in the tears of those patients.<br />
<br />
But transmission through infected ocular tissue or fluid is still a controversial topic among eye specialists because there is a hypothesized that the nasolacrimal system can act as a conduit for viruses to travel from the upper respiratory tract to the eye.<br />
<br />
As more information about COVID-19 emerges, this research will continue to undergo revision to try to ensure eye care services.<br />

wearing contact lenses for several years, then you’ve probably been guilty of
wearing them way past their expiration. In fact, some of you may not even be aware
that your prescription lenses have an expiry date! You’re not alone. With
prescription uses ranging from daily to yearly, it’s hard to keep track when
you should get a fresh pair of lenses. Yet replacing your old contacts is one
of the best things you can do to </span><a href="https://steveseah.blogspot.com/2018/12/simple-ways-to-protect-your-eyes-by-dr.html" style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">keep

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">Here are
some telltale signs you need to replace your contact lens:</span><br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Your
lenses appear cloudy even after rinsing them in saline solution.</b> This is an
indication that bacteria have built up in your lenses and should you continue
to use them, you’re putting yourself at risk for eye infections. Moving
forward, washing your hands before handling contact lenses, cleaning the lens
case, and using fresh saline solution can prevent bacteria from spreading
quickly.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Your
lenses feel uncomfortable or are irritating your eyes.</b> This may be a sign that
your lenses are already damaged. Before putting them on, make sure to check for
scratches and tears. If there are none, you may want to give your contact
lenses a thorough saline rinse to clear them from all dirt and debris. If you do
find scratches, then it’s time to say goodbye!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Your
lenses are misshapen.</b> If you notice any permanent dents and bends on your contact
lenses, it’s a sign that you need to get a new pair to avoid eye injury and
infections.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>You
experience frequent headaches, eye fatigue and blurry vision.</b> Such symptoms indicate
that you need to visit your doctor and get a new prescription.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Your
current lenses don’t have UV protection.</b> Newer models of lenses are designed to
be more breathable and durable against sum damage. Plus, they can protect you
from cataracts and macular degeneration.</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">When in
doubt, you can always ask your ophthalmologist for help in keeping you up-to-date
on your contact lens prescription. </span></div>

It can be caused by many things, from age and genetics to <a href="https://steveseah.blogspot.com/2019/02/5-daily-habits-that-are-hurting-your.html">bad habits</a> and eye
illnesses. Fortunately, most cases of refractive errors can be corrected with a
simple eyeglass prescription. Here are 10 signs you need to visit your ophthalmologist
and get a pair of glasses:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<li><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">You find yourself constantly squinting to get a clearer

infection or other health issues.</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">You get frequent headaches caused by constantly straining
the eyes to see better.</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">You have blurry or distorted vision, which are signs
of nearsightedness or farsightedness.</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">You are seeing double, which may be indicative of
astigmatism or cataracts.</span></li>

<br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">A simple prescription for eyeglasses or contacts is already
enough to correct vision problems such as myopia, presbyopia and astigmatism for
most people. Corrective eyewear, however, are only temporary and constantly
need upgrading every few months or year. For some people with very high
prescriptions, or those who want a more permanent solution to blurry eyesight, LASIK
treatments are recommended.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">However, LASIK is not for everybody. Here’s a short
checklist to help you determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the
procedure or not:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Age</b>: Most ophthalmologists
require their patient to be 18 years old and above to be an eligible candidate
for LASIK. At this time, your eyes would have fully matured and have a more
stable prescription.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Overall
health</b>: You should be in generally good health, meaning that you are not
diagnosed with any conditions that may be worsened by LASIK surgery, or impede
healing after LASIK. Such disorders include diabetes, and vascular and autoimmune
illnesses.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Eye health</b>:
Similarly, you should not have chronic eye problems that can affect the results
of LASIK surgery, as well as influence healing time and full recovery. Alternative
options for LASIK are usually recommended for those with severe dry eyes,
glaucoma, keratoconus, strabismus and lazy eye.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Stable vision</b>:
It is recommended that you first have a stable eye prescription for one whole
year before undergoing LASIK treatments.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><b>Corneal
thickness</b>: Likewise, you should have a corneal thickness of not less than 0.5mm
to qualify as a candidate for LASIK surgery.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you meet all the requirements above, then you have
a higher chance of getting a go-signal to have LASIK treatments. To be 100%
sure, however, you’re still recommended to </span><a href="https://steveseah.blogspot.com/2017/10/things-to-do-when-selecting-eye-doctor.html" style="font-size: 11pt;">visit
the right ophthalmologist</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> for further testing to determine not only your
eligibility, but also how to ensure the procedure’s success.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Good eye health starts with a choice, and whether you
know it or not, you actually make a choice every second, every day. Here are
five ways you may not realize you’re hurting your eyes and what you can do
about them:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">#1. Getting too much screen time. Staring at your
smartphone and computer screens for a long time leads to eye strain, and dry
and tired eyes, which in turn leads to blurred vision, headaches and dizziness.
Since we are at an age where exposure to digital technology is unavoidable, the
best workaround to limit your screen time is with the 20/20/20 rule. Every 20
minutes, look at something from 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This simple step
will give your eyes a much-needed break and reduce eye strain. Enlarging the
text on your screens and avoiding using your gadgets at night will also prevent
fatigue and sleep disorders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">#2. Rubbing your eyes. As tempting as it may be,
rubbing your eyes when they get dry or itchy is a big no-no. It may actually do
more harm than good. Excessive rubbing can break the blood vessels in the
eyelids, and spread germs and bacteria into the eyes if your hands are dirty.
Using tear drops or an ice compress is the better alternative to washing away
debris from your eyes, calm an itch or bring instant relief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">#3. Wearing your contact lens for too long. This
includes wearing them in the shower or while sleeping, or wearing overused
contact lenses with an expired prescription. While convenient, doing these
increases the risk of bacteria entering your eye and causing infections, even
blindness. The simple solution is to follow your doctor’s instructions on how
to care for your contacts, from the use of solution to the replacement
schedule. Trading in your contact lens for prescription glasses at certain
points of the day will also let your eyes rest and breath.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">#4. Not wearing sunglasses. Sunglasses are not only
for fashion, they help protect your eyes from exposure to the sun’s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet">UV rays</a>,
which puts you at risk for conditions such as cataracts and macular
degeneration. As much as possible, when you go out, put on a pair of
sunglasses, or UV-protected eyeglasses or contact lenses. Pairing your shades
with caps and visors is also a plus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">#5. Not visiting your eye doctor. Having your eyes
checked regularly by your ophthalmologist, especially if you feel that
something is wrong, is the best way to ensure eye health and detect vision-impairing
conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration at their earliest. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There’s a saying that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. The same can be said about quick and easy solutions that promise to correct your eyesight without the need for prescription glasses and surgery. The truth, however, is that vision problems are typically caused by problems in the eye anatomy, and thus, cannot be treated naturally and without medical assistance.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, you can take specific steps to maintain your eye health, reducing the risk of vision problems and more serious conditions as you age. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Have your eyes checked regularly. Most <a href="http://singaporeglaucoma.com.sg/">eye conditions</a> do not cause symptoms during their early stages. Visiting your optometrist or ophthalmologist can help detect these illnesses when they are easier to treat, and can help prevent vision impairments. You are also encouraged to visit your physician to check if you are at a higher risk of developing eye diseases, or illnesses like diabetes that lead to eye problems. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Eat a balanced and eye-friendly diet. Fruits and vegetables are particularly rich in antioxidants, which reduce the risk of cataracts. Getting your daily dose of vitamins and omega-3 acids will also protect your eyes from age-related conditions such as macular degeneration. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Aside from a healthy diet, you will also benefit from adding exercises to your daily schedule. Simply walking can help reduce the risk of macular degeneration by 70 percent, studies show. Some eye exercises may also be done with the supervision of your eye doctor. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Make sure to use appropriate eyewear. Not only should you use prescription glasses or contact lenses that are up to date, but you should also take extra effort to choose eyewear that protect your eyes from harmful UV radiation. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Rest your eyes. Taking time off from your computer screen or phone can help prevent eyestrain and fatigue. Try the 20-20-20 rule. For every 20 minutes on the computer or phone, look away for 20 seconds and focus on an object about 20 feet away.</div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Glaucoma is
one of the leading causes of progressive and permanent vision loss in the
world. Characterized by a build-up of eye pressure that damages the optic
nerve, it is known as the silent thief of sight because it slowly causes
blindness without showing any symptoms until its later stages. It’s important
to note that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.steveseaheyecentre.com/">treatment of glaucoma</a></b>
only halts the progression of vision loss. The condition itself is incurable,
and damage done pre-treatment is irreparable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In this
case, the age-old adage, “Prevention is better than cure.” applies. There are
plenty of ways by which you can reduce your risk of developing glaucoma, from
engaging in certain exercises to moderating the food you eat. Here’s a list of
what and what not to eat to promote eye health and prevent the development of
any eye disease, glaucoma or not:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">If you want
perfectly good eyesight, don’t forget your fruits and vegetables. Dark, leafy
greens, yellows and oranges are especially rich in carotenoids, zeaxanthin and
the “eye vitamin” lutein, which not only promote vision health, but protect
against other illnesses as well. These include spinach, kale, cabbage, collard
greens, broccoli, carrot, Brussels sprout, sweet potatoes, beans, squash, mango
and peach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

deficiency. Aside from supplements, you can up your daily zinc intake by
consuming red meat, poultry, beans, seafood, whole grains, cereals and dairy
products.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It’s not
enough to just eat eye-friendly food. You should also know which ones to avoid
or consume in moderation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Caffeine,
for instance, is known for its antioxidant properties. However, drinking too
much can increase intraocular pressure and decrease blood flow to the retina.
<a href="https://www.eatthis.com/surprising-foods-that-have-caffeine/">Caffeine-rich product</a>s include coffee, tea, chocolate and soft drinks. Instead
of these, you may want to consider healthier alternatives like decaf coffee,
herbal tea, lemon water or hot water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Drinking a
large amount of fluid in a short period of time is also harmful for your eyes. Similar
to excessive caffeine intake, doing so also increases intraocular pressure. To
prevent this, you should just control your fluid intake frequency, choosing to
sip small amounts several times throughout the day, instead of drinking a large
volume at once.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Glaucoma
is a progressive disease characterized by fluid build-up in the eye, resulting
in excessive pressure in the eye and damaging the optic nerve. Left untreated,
it can lead to vision impairment or even complete vision loss. Though the
condition is common, particularly as a leading cause of blindness in the
elderly, there are still many myths surrounding its cause and treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Here
are the most common myths about glaucoma:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Myth #1: Glaucoma affects only the elderly. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Fact:</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> Though the risk of developing the
disease is higher in those who are 60 years old and above, the reality is that
it can affect anyone regardless of age, gender and ethnicity. In fact, one in
10,000 babies are born with glaucoma, while some people, both young and old,
can acquire eye conditions leading to secondary glaucoma. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

glaucoma and no way of restoring lost vision. However, there are medications
and treatment options available that can help slow the disease, preserve vision
and improve quality of life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

thief of sight” because it can go undetected until it is in its advanced stages,
when the damage done is already extensive. Having 20/20 vision is not a
guarantee that you are not at risk of developing the eye condition. The only
way to be safe is to have the optic nerve checked by an ophthalmologist. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Glaucoma is a serious eye condition caused by a
pressure build-up in the eyeball that damages the optic nerve, which is
responsible for transmitting images to the brain. Left untreated, it can lead
to permanent vision loss. As with most illnesses, the earlier glaucoma is
detected, the more likely it is to prevent further damage and permanent
blindness. Note, however, that though treatments can halt the progression of
vision loss, they cannot restore the vision that has already been lost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Depending on the type or stage of glaucoma, there are various
treatments available, ranging from medicinal eyedrops to surgery. You should
consult your <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.steveseaheyecentre.com/">senior consultant ophthalmologist</a> </b>on the best option for your condition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3>
<span lang="EN-US">Medicinal Eyedrops</span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The main and most recommended <b>treatment of glaucoma</b>, eyedrops help control intraocular pressure
(IOP) by reducing fluid production in the eyes, and improving its outward flow.
Your doctor should prescribe the right brand and dosage depending on the type
of glaucoma you have and your overall health (e.g. any underlying illnesses). Make
sure to use the eyedrops as directed by your physician. These are usually applied
for life. Common side effects include eye irritation, upper lid elevation,
bloodshot eyes and dilated pupils.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<h3>
<span lang="EN-GB">Laser Surgery</span></h3>
</div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Laser surgery provides a quick and non-invasive way to
treat glaucoma. It is conducted in an outpatient setting and usually lasts 15
to 20 minutes. It also has many types, depending on the type of glaucoma. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">For those with open-angle glaucoma, a trabeculoplasty
is performed, where laser is used to correct the drainage angle, allowing fluid
to flow out properly and lessening the build-up of pressure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">For those with angle-closure glaucoma, an iridotomy is
performed, in which a hole is made in the iris with a laser, leading fluid to
the drainage angle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TCP) is performed
for more advanced-stage glaucoma, and that involves destroying the ciliary body
to reduce fluid production.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Should medicinal eyedrops and laser surgery prove
insufficient to control glaucoma, conventional or incisional surgery is another
option. In most cases, trabeculectomy or sclerostomy is performed, in which a
tiny drainage hole is made in the white part of the eye (sclera) to help fluid
flow out and reduce eye pressure. Typically, the recovery time is two to four
weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

condition that is largely hereditary and can be treated in order to control
disease progression; but has no cure. Glaucoma is often hard to detect as
symptoms are not obvious in its early stages. The most striking part of glaucoma
is that it can lead to irreversible vision loss and even blindness, if left
untreated. Ample knowledge about glaucoma can help you understand the condition
better and find out how to prevent its progression while in its early stages. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the years when excessive eye pressure builds up, leading to damage in the optic
nerves. In untreated cases, it can take an average of 15 years before glaucoma leads
to serious vision loss, starting from the periphery. <span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

is best detected is 35, especially for those with a family history of the
disease. Meanwhile, people over 60 years old naturally have a much higher risk
of getting glaucoma. To be safe, make a visit to an ophthalmologist for a
detailed eye screening every one or two years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

eye drops are usually the primary form of medication to help patients control
the pressure in their eyes over a long period of time. The eye drops work by either
reducing the intraocular pressure in the eye, reducing fluid production in the
eye, or helping the eye’s fluid drain better. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and ophthalmoscopy are some of the tests conducted to diagnose glaucoma. A tonometry
measures the pressure inside the eye, and an ophthalmoscopy checks for damage
in the optic nerve. Your eye doctor may also conduct a vision test to check
your peripheral vision, which tends to be affected first in glaucoma. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Getting old is inevitable, and
sooner or later we will be needing to go to the eye doctor for some consolation
because there will come a point in our lives where we will experience some
discomfort in our eyes. Our eyes are one
of the most soft and delicate part of our body, we must take care of it since
it plays big role in accomplishing important activities in our lives.</div>
<b></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Visiting the eye doctor is easy, but
finding a trustworthy and respectable one, well that is hard. Here are some of
the things you can do before choosing an eye doctor:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Ask for References</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Remember the time when you bought
something online and you checked the reviews first before you purchased the
item? Well, that works well with doctors too. The internet is vast and immense
and it can tell you a lot of things if you just choose the right keywords when
searching. Look for some reviews in the internet, or ask your friends or
relatives if they can recommend a trusted eye doctor in Singapore. You can also
think of everyone you know who wears glasses, they all have eye doctors. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Find a Pleasant Clinic</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
A pleasant office will build long-lasting
relationships to patients. These offices have qualities like sincerity and
genuineness. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
They take their time to know
their patients very well, like the details about their vision requirements and
lifestyle, the right prescription for their eyeglasses or contact lenses. A
good office will encourage their patients to have regular eye exams even though
they do not wear eyeglasses or contacts, and even if their vision is sharp.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Most patients want a clinic that
can help them with everything about their eye care needs. Choose a doctor you are
comfortable with and that you can confide in, because eye health has a big
impact in the quality of life.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Look for an Eye Doctor that is Punctual</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
If your doctor shows up on time,
it means that he is dependable. Being punctual shows that your doctor respects
you and your time. There are doctors that will try to work in emergency visits
during the day, that is why they tend to leave gaps in their schedules in case
they have emergency visits in a day. These are the good doctors, who think
ahead of time for their patients.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Your eyes serve as a window to
your overall health. It is a vital part of your everyday life, that is why your
choice of a good eye doctor is not one that should be taken lightly. <o:p></o:p></div>

These fibres serve to carry the visual impulses from the eyes to the brain and if left untreated can lead to vision loss. Some cases of blindness in Singapore accounts for glaucoma. <span style="font-size: small;">What are the types of Glaucoma?</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Open-angle glaucoma or wide-angle glaucoma</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This type of glaucoma occurs when the trabercular meshwork (drainage canal of the eye) is not anatomically blocked. The drainage sites are wide open but the drainage canal is clogged by very tiny collections of material causing for less fluid to leave the eye.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When the eye continues to make fluid in the ciliary body, the pressure increases and overtime leads to optic nerve damage. Because of the fact that it is painless, a significant damage may have already started without the patient even noticing it. Open angle glaucoma is often treated using eye drops so that the pressure is lowered down. An eye doctor may also suggest for an advanced method so that the intraocular pressure can be lowered down.</span></span><ul>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Angle-closure glaucoma or acute or chronic angle-closure or narrow-angle glaucoma</span></b></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This type of glaucoma is rare. The drainage canal of the eye reduces the outflow of fluid because it is very narrow or completely occluded. This eye condition can be experienced by farsighted patients. This eye condition leads to a sudden increase in the eye pressure. Accurate angle-closure glaucoma requires immediate medical attention.</span><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">What are the risk factors in developing Glaucoma?</span></b></span><ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Age - </b>For people 50 years old and above, there is an increased risk of developing this eye condition.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Family History - </b>Glaucoma especially open angle glaucoma runs in families.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Medical History -</b> Diabetes – one is at risk of developing a certain type of glaucoma if they have a high blood pressure or diabetes.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Medicines -</b> This is especially for long-term use of corticosteroid medications.</span></li>
</ul>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">What are its Signs and Symptoms?</span></b><ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Narrowing of vision (tunnel vision)</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Eye that looks hazy</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pain in the eye</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Redness in the eye</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Halos</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Vision Loss</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">How to diagnose Glaucoma?</span></span><ul>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Visual Acuity Test</span></b></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">This is done by testing the vision of the patient using different lenses so the eye doctor can tell if the vision can be improved using contact lenses or regular glasses. The procedure is simple, the patient is asked to look straight ahead using the standard eye testing chart.</span><ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dilated Eye Exam</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">This can also be called as the optic disc photography test to check the shape and color of the optic nerve. First, the pupil is dilated with the use of eye drops. Then, the optic nerve is magnified for examination.</span></span><ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Visual Field Test</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">This examination tests the complete field of vision. The patient is asked to look straight ahead to determine if she is unable to see the light and at what certain point of his or her periphery vision. The eye doctor tests the patient’s field of vision as a whole.</span></span><ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pachymetry</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">Tests the thickness of the cornea. A pachymeter is placed gently on the front of the eye to measure its thickness.</span></span><ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tonometry </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Tests the fluid pressure of the eyes. The eye will be placed under local anaesthesia so that the examiner can use thetonometer to measure the pressure of the eye by applying pressure through a puff of warm air.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">What are the treatments for Glaucoma?</span></span><ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Surgery</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">Surgical procedures can be suggested by the ophthalmologist once the desired results are not achieved using medications. An example of this is a laser surgery usually performed for open-angle glaucoma. The procedure is usually painless and changes the drainage system of the eye.</span></span><ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Medicines</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Eye Drops</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> - </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">With the use of eye drops, pressure in the eye can be significantly reduced. The eye drops contain beta-blockers or carbonic anhydrase inhibitors that reduces the fluid production in the eye, thus reduces pressure accumulation as well.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pills <span style="font-weight: normal;">– Usually prescribed in paired to eye drops. The purpose of which is to also lessen the fluid production in the eyes. Pills can be potentially dangerous that is why the eye doctor needs to properly guide the patient for medications.</span></span></li>
