Improve your Vision Naturally

As, we all have our senses, we call them sense organs as because of them only we are able to sense even any small particle or object when it gets stuck to them. As, mainly we talk about five senses our eyes, nose, ears, tongue, hands. But, basically, we are going to talk about Eyes ‘The beautiful feature of our body ‘. I said it beautiful because they really are.

We have to know the problems and solutions related to these beautiful organs. As , everything has its two sides, positive and negative side too.

As , talking about eyes, if any problems arise with such delicate organs, we are recommended with some of the therapies such as:-
  • Optical
  • Medical
  • Surgical
  • Laser
  • Cryotherapy
  • Vision Therapy

First of all, talking about

1. Optical Therapy

It could be done by the following methods:-
  1. Refractive errors
  2. Anomalies of accommodation
  3. Strabismus
  4. Method of Correction

Having a detailed study of Refractive errors that are further divided into three types:-

• Hypermetropia

It is mainly called as long-sightedness. In this case, the light rays that are coming from infinity point are focused behind the retina, it occurs when accommodation is at rest.

• Myopia

It is mainly called short-sightedness. In this light rays coming from infinity are focused in front of the retina , it is when accommodation is at rest

• Astigmatism

In this type of refraction is not the same at all different.

Now talking mainly about Anomalies of Accommodation.

In this, we study that leads to( paralysis of accommodation)

Strabismus

Talking about strabismus, it is a strange kind of defect in which eyes do not seem to be similar. In this, you have to face such defects, and it is further of two types:-
  • Accommodative Esotropia -:. Esotropia is mainly caused due to excessive abnormal accommodation.
  • Intermittent Exotopia-: If we talk about Exotropia , it manifests at a certain point of time only.

Method of:

  • Spectacle glass
  • Contact lenses
  • Laser refractive therapy
  • Corneal refractive therapy


2. Medical Therapy

It includes a total of four methods which are mentioned below:
  1. Topical instillation into the conjunctival Sac
  2. Systemic administration
  3. Periocular injection
  4.  intraocular injection
Topical instillation into the conjunctival Sac:
They could be dispensed in the form of -
: Eye drops, ointments, Gel, soft contact lenses.


Eye drops:

Especially they are used during the day time. When we use eye drops they have immediate action. As if eyes get red due to entering of any insect or soil particles, then these eyes drops serve the best purpose of cleansing them and protecting them from any kind of irritation.


Ointments:

Ointments are usually suitably applied during the night time or more conveniently saying during bed time .As , they are mainly applied to the outer areas where they do not cause much harm but they must only be applied at internal organs or internally after proper prescriptions of a doctor .


Gels:-

Gels are also used for the protection of eyes


Soft contact lenses:

Soft contact lenses are also used for the protection of the eyes As they are much easier to apply and are handled easily ..One thing that must be kept in mind these lenses must always be kept away from germs and they are much more transparent so they need to be protected and must always be kept safely.

Periocular injection:

  • It further also has its sub types they are -:Subconjunctival injection and Subtenon Injection .
  • Subconjunctival injection:- It helps in moving large size of molecules.
  • Subtenon injection :- It is much better than subconjunctival injection . Anterior subtenon is used to dispense steroids.


3. Surgical Therapy:

By the name it is clear it is related to surgeries ..we are just talking about eye therapies so it was one of the convenient methods. First method is the method for Surgery of lid:
Sometimes these deformities are visible on the eyelids as in some cases it is much sewer and in some cases it is present on the upper lid which causes irritation.They may be:- 
  • Incomplete closure of eyelid
  • Ectropian
  • Ptosis

Secondly, it is Surgery of Conjunctiva-:
Conjunctiva is a clear, thin surface which covers the front surface of the eye .These are very delicate parts of the eye ..

Two methods included in it are-:

  1. Pterygium
  2. Conjunctival cysts

Some more surgeries included are as follows :
  • Surgery of cornea :-They are done as in keratoplasty
  • Surgery of Sclera:- They are done as in scleral buckling
  • Surgery of Cataract:- Sometimes cases of cataract are also more swere .In this case SICs (Small In vision Cataract Surgery) could be done.
  • Surgery of Vitreous:-It can be done by Vitrectomy. Vitrectomy is a surgery to remove some or all of the vitreous humour.
  • Surgery of Retina:- If in any case or by any thing retina break is there then . Photocoagulation is done. If Scleral buckling is there then silicon band is mainly used.

4. Laser Therapy

LASER ( Light Amplification By Stimulated Emission Of Radiation) It is the mechanism for emitting electromagnetic radiation through the process of stimulated emission.

Properties of laser:-
  • Monochromatic
  • Coherence
  • No scattering


Laser used in Ophthalmology

▪ Photocoagulation:- coagulation means (clotting)

The coagulation of tissue using a laser which produces light in the visible green wavelength(lambda) i.e selectively absorbed by haemoglobin , in order to seal off bleeding blood vessels.

Further discussing about Cryotherapy:-

It means to produce tissue injury by application of intense cold (-40°C to 100°C)

Cryo unit mainly uses freon, nitrous oxide or carbon dioxide gas as a cooling agent.

It mainly Aimed at decreasing inflammation , promoting vasoconstriction and when extreme temperatures are used they are helpful in destroying cells by crystallizing the cytosol.

5. Vision Therapy 

Vision therapy is just like physical therapy , that enhances or protects or develops our good visual system that includes the parts of the eyes and brain that help in controlling the vision. Vision problems are mainly corrected by vision therapies. When we are reading we would face problems .

It may include lenses, prisms etc . for our eyes protection and correction.
  •  It’s also called orthoptics , eye training or exercises.
  • It helps in correcting the eye movement.

So, these are the therapies which help in the protection, care of the eyes .
