Common Diseases of The Eye
Skipper Eye Q International is dedicated to providing expert care for a wide range of common diseases of the eye, helping patients maintain optimal eye health and prevent vision loss. With modern diagnostic tools and advanced treatment options, the clinic addresses the most prevalent eye conditions that affect people of all ages.
1. Cataracts
Cataracts are one of the most common eye diseases, particularly among older adults. They occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or dimmed vision. Over time, untreated cataracts can cause significant vision impairment. At Skipper Eye Q, cataract surgeries are performed using the latest techniques like phacoemulsification, ensuring a quick recovery and restored vision with the implantation of an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
2. Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually due to high intraocular pressure. It is often referred to as the "silent thief of sight" because it typically progresses without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. Early detection is critical in managing glaucoma, as the condition can lead to permanent blindness. Skipper Eye Q offers comprehensive glaucoma screening, early diagnosis, and advanced treatments, including medication, laser therapy, and surgery, to prevent further vision damage.
3. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. It affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. There are two forms of AMD: dry and wet. While the dry form progresses slowly, the wet form can cause rapid vision loss. Skipper Eye Q provides advanced treatments for both forms of AMD, including anti-VEGF injections and laser therapy to slow progression and preserve vision.
4. Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems and potential blindness if left untreated. Regular eye check-ups are crucial for diabetic patients to monitor the health of their retina. At Skipper Eye Q, specialized retinal imaging and treatments such as laser photocoagulation and injections are offered to manage this condition effectively.
5. Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. Symptoms include irritation, redness, and a gritty sensation in the eyes. Skipper Eye Q provides personalized treatment plans for dry eye syndrome, including prescription eye drops, lifestyle modifications, and advanced therapies like punctal plugs or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy.
6. Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. It can be caused by infections, allergies, or irritants. Skipper Eye Q offers effective treatments for all forms of conjunctivitis, including antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-allergy medications to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.
