The oculoplastics is responsible for the pathologies and other aesthetic or functional problems affecting the structures surrounding the eye: orbit, ...

Retinopathy

Retinopathy is the common name of any non-inflammatory disease of the retina, the innermost layer of the eyeball responsible for receiving and sending images of the eye to the brain. That is why the term encompasses a range of conditions, the most common and known diabetic retinopathy, which occurs due to elevated blood glucose levels in these patients. The symptoms are not evident during the early stages of this type of retinopathy, which can lead to vision loss, so it is important that diabetics undergo regular eye examinations. Its main treatment is photocoagulation, laser surgery to repair abnormal blood vessels that have been created in the retina. Finally, in the case of blood that has entered into the vitreous humor, a vitrectomy is used, a type of surgery used only if the bleeding has been very generous. ...

Tearing

Tearing or watery eyes is excessive tearing, which is generated when the duct that drains tears into the nose is clogged or malfunctioning. One of the most common causes of tearing is dry eyes. Dryness causes the eyes to produce too many tears and, therefore, excess tearing occurs. Irritation, infection or the growth of eyelashes into the eye may develop watery eyes. Although there are other common causes such as allergies to dust and mold that can cause conjunctivitis or tearing. ...

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a defect or imperfection in the eye curvature of the cornea or in the structure of the lens of the eye, characterized by a different eye refraction between two meridians, which prevents sharp focus objects. The cornea acts as a lens through which light passes that is focused on the retina. So that if the surface of the cornea is irregular in its curvature, astigmatism occurs because the light rays are not refracted properly. Low ( 0.25 diopters less than 1 ), medium (1 diopter less than 3 ) and high ( greater than or equal to 3 diopters ): According grades three types are classified. ...

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, or surgery circles, is a surgical procedure to correct the defects of the eyelids, and sagging and excess skin or the appearance of bags. Through this intervention eyelid surgery, bags and eye edges, removed and rearranged excess skin, muscle of the eyelids, both above and below tightens and localized fat is extracted to remove the bags that form around eye. With eyelid surgery is improved and rejuvenates the appearance and expression of that area of ​​the face, correcting the defects of the eyelids which give a tired and aged appearance to the face. ...

Blepharospasm

Blepharospasm is an involuntary and repetitive contraction of the orbicularis (circular located around the eye), which causes abnormal movements of the eyelids. This results in various visual disturbances (uncontrollable blinking, forced closing of the eyes, decreased vision), and abnormal movements of neck, head or mouth only disappear during sleep (facial dystonia). It is one of the most common eye diseases caused by side effects of some medications, neurological disorders in the central nervous system or a lack of lubrication of the ocular surface (which causes increased activity of the eyelid to distribute poor tear). Treatment includes eye protection sunglasses, application of lubricating drops and supply of botulinum toxin to prevent the orbicular muscles contract. ...

Diabetic Retinopathy

  Diabetic retinopathy involves an ocular disorder caused by diabetes, which is caused by damage to blood vessels of the retina. This defect often causes leakage of fluid or blood in the eye, and if the disease progresses important visual disturbances such as blurred vision proliferation occur. The best way to prevent this disorder is to control diabetes (using insulin or other medications), a periodic eye exam (every one to two years), and exercising and maintaining a healthy diet to prevent the occurrence of the diabetes. When the disorder is in an advanced stage it should be treated by applying argon laser of existing lesions in order to prevent loss of vision. ...

Droppy eyelid (Ptosis)

Ptosis is the fall of the eyelid as a result of relaxation of the muscles that hold it. This is one of the most common eyelid malpositions, and can occur in patients of all ages either muscle weakness as desanclaje the tendon of the muscle. With regard to its causes, there are numerous, from injuries to neurological factors. They all cause difficulty in vision, so it is necessary to surgically intervene in order to repair the tendon or muscle shortening, as the case of that question. Various techniques exist for these interventions will depend on the condition of each patient eye. ...

Exophthalmos or bulging eyes is the projection of the eyeball outward, may be one or both eyes. Usually associated with hyperthyroidism and can become very serious if you get to compress the optic nerve. ...

Intraocular Lenses

Intraocular lenses, also known as IOLs, are transparent artificial lenses used to replace the natural lens of the eyes when they are damaged, either by cataracts, nearsightedness or other eye diseases. In people with vision blurred vision due to damage to your natural lens, which is responsible for receiving the light rays with which the images are obtained, replacing it with an intraocular lens patient returns to a correct view . Normally, they are made with flexible and pliable material and are the same size as the original. The intraocular lens is generally implanted in the eye in cataract surgery to replace the natural lens. ...

Myopia

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness and hipometropía, is an ocular abnormality resulting focus vision on distant objects because of a dysfunction in the retina. Thus, although the view is normal at close range, as you look away, they are gradually blurring the images. There are many degrees of myopia, high myopia being which exceeds the 6.5 diopters. The most commonly used for correcting this ailment resources are glasses and contact lenses, but increasingly patients are operated by laser surgery, the application of which depends on the characteristics of each eye there. This intervention consists of modifying the surface of the cornea correcting the diopter affected. Finally, in the most severe myopia, the placement of intraocular lenses, which function is the same as the outer lenses but located within the eye and permanently is possible. ...

Pigmented retinitis

Retinitis pigmentosa is considered a serious eye condition caused most common hereditary retinal degeneration. Progressive causes decreased vision due to the death of photoreceptors, eye retina cells. So it can end up causing blindness. Its first symptoms are lack of capacity to adapt to the dark nocturna- blindness and decreased visual field, causing tunnel vision. As the disease progresses, symptoms worsen, so it is important to know the development of the disease in close relatives to know how it will affect the patient. Although there is currently no specific treatment for this disease, consumption of vitamins, minerals and other ingredients may help slow its evolution. In addition, vision therapy is also advised, conducting exercises monitored by an ophthalmologist to improve the visual conditions of the patient. ...

Presbyopia

Presbyopia, also known as farsightedness, is a common condition caused by aging of the eye lens, which appears especially from 40 to 45 years. More specifically, it is a lens accommodation, one of the most important parts of the eye to correct vision, and which is responsible for focusing images on the retina so we can see the sharp objects. Therefore presbyopia causes a distorted view of nearby objects, affecting close up view. This condition can be corrected with the use of glasses or contact lenses and surgery. The latter will depend on the patient's age, the state of your lens and eye defect have. Also, there are two techniques for this operation: the use of lasers, and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens placement, in which an artificial lens inside the eye is placed. ...

Retina detachment

Retinal detachment occurs when separating the outer membrane of the retina (called the retinal pigment epithelium) of the inner layer (sensory retina). This detachment can be caused due to various reasons such as strong myopia or degenerative atrophic processes. Both conditions may be responsible for these layers are separated and that the fluid between the retina and transferred both to accumulate on the bottom. Consequently, in the detached retina segment blindness it occurs. Two of the most crucial signs that may alert the patient that has suffered a detached retina are viewing flashing lights and floaters. Treatment for most patients is surgery. ...

Strabismus

Strabismus is a deviation of line of sight of the two eyes, which implies that they are not located in the same direction with respect to the visual axis are not parallel. Thus, while one eye looks towards a particular object, the other goes in another direction. This is a visual and aesthetic problem. Being a deviation occurs at an early age is crucial that action be taken as quickly as possible, to avoid resulting in other ailments. To treat this disorder there are multiple techniques like alternating shutter each eye patch, use of special glasses, toxin injection to temporarily paralyze muscles or surgery. This is recommended only in extreme cases and is to avoid eye strain by strengthening or weakening, as appropriate, of certain eye muscles. ...

Thyroid eye disease

Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune disease in which the cells that protect us from infections or other aggressive agents act defectively, attacking different organs or tissues of the body such as the thyroid and eyes. An inflammation of the thyroid gland resulting in the production of hormones out of control (hyperthyroidism) and is manifested by an inflammation of the eye or increased pressure behind them occurs. This can lead to protruding eyes (proptosis), misalignment of the eyes (strabismus) and dysfunctions in the eyelids that in severe cases visual disturbances occur. The snuff and stress are risk factors for developing hyperthyroidism. Treatment includes endocrine control during ocular disease, steroid application or, in more severe cases, surgery newspaper. ...

Vision problems

Vision problems encompass a host of pathologies. The most common are refractive comprising: the nearsightedness or myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. Its causes may be genetically different, due to aging or other diseases such as macular degeneration caused by diabetes. ...
