NEVER LET EYE DISEASES BLUR YOUR HAPPINESS

What Happens In General Opthalmology

General ophthalmology involves the routine examination, diagnosis, and treatment of common eye and vision problems for people of all ages. During a general ophthalmology visit, eye health is evaluated through vision testing, eye pressure measurement, and examination of the front and back of the eye. It helps in identifying refractive errors that may require glasses, as well as detecting conditions such as dry eyes, infections, allergies, and inflammation. General ophthalmology also plays an important role in screening for eye diseases like cataract, glaucoma, and diabetes-related eye changes at an early stage. The focus is on preventive care, timely treatment, and maintaining overall eye health to ensure clear and comfortable vision.

Causes Of Opthalmology

Refractive errors

Occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, leading to blurred vision such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

Age- Related changes

As people grow older, natural changes in the eye can affect vision, including reduced focusing ability, clouding of the lens, or increased eye pressure.

Eye Infections

Caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, infections can lead to redness, pain, discharge, and temporary or permanent vision problems if untreated.

Environmental Factors

Exposure to dust, smoke, pollution, or harsh sunlight can irritate the eyes and contribute to long-term eye damage.

Comprehensive Care

A comprehensive eye examination is a complete evaluation of eye health and vision. It begins with checking visual clarity to assess how well a person can see at different distances. Eye pressure is measured to screen for conditions like glaucoma. The doctors at gobind eye care examines the front part of the eye, including the eyelids, cornea, and lens, to detect infections, dryness, or cataract. The back of the eye, including the retina and optic nerve, is carefully evaluated to identify early signs of diabetes-related changes, retinal disorders, or nerve damage. Eye alignment and movements are also assessed to detect squint or muscle imbalance. This examination helps diagnose eye problems at an early stage, even before symptoms appear. Based on the findings, appropriate treatment or further care is planned to protect vision and maintain long-term eye health.

Vision Correction

Vision correction is used to treat refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and age-related near vision problems. Accurate vision testing determines the correct lens power needed. Properly prescribed glasses or contact lenses improve visual clarity and reduce eye strain. Clear vision helps in daily activities such as reading, driving, and screen use. Corrective lenses also prevent headaches and discomfort caused by poor eyesight. Regular follow-ups ensure the prescription remains accurate. Vision correction significantly improves quality of life. It is a safe and effective way to manage common vision problems.

More than 80% of vision problems are preventable or treatable if detected early.

Blinking reduces by almost 50% while using screens, leading to dry eyes.
