Cataract and short / long Sightedness

Macula

Small central area in the retina that contains special light-sensitive cells and allows us to see fine details clearly.

Optic nerve

Connects the eye to the brain and carries the electrical impulses formed by the retina to the visual cortex of the brain.

Vitreous

Clear, jelly-like substance that fills the middle of the eye.

Bulging Eyes or Proptosis

Occurs when one or both eyes protrude from the eye sockets due to space taking lesions such as swelling of the muscles, fat, and tissue behind the eye.

CMV Retinitis

Serious infection of the retina that often affects people with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and that may also affect people with other immune Issuess.

Crossed eyes (or Strabismus)

Occur when a person’s eyes are not able to align on the same point at the same time, and appear to be misaligned or pointed in different directions.

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)

Caused by fluid accumulation in the macula. Patients with DME typically experience blurred vision which can be severe.

Glaucoma

Build-up of fluid in the eye creates pressure, damaging the optic nerve.

Ocular hypertension

Increase in pressure in the eye that is above the range considered normal.

Retinal Detachment

when the retina detaches, light sensitive membrane in the back of the eye becomes separated from the nerve tissue and blood supply underneath it.
