Lasik is a very commonly performed procedure today, with every adult wanting to undergo the procedure when he or she wants to get rid of their spectacles and contact lenses, to be able to see clearly with their naked eyes again. A few years ago, not many people willingly underwent the procedure because they were too scared to mess with their eyes. But, with the advancement in technology that has brought up safe procedures, and the success rate that has been associated with Lasik, more and more individuals are opting for the procedure today. Nevertheless, even though the procedure has proven to be completely safe with almost zero side-effects (unless in the rarest of cases), it is always advisable to undergo the procedure when you are being operated with only a reliable and experienced surgeon.

Our eyes are one of the most precious sensory organs of our body, with the retina being its most important tissue lining the back of the eyeballs, which is responsible for converting the light coming in into nerve signals that are sent to the brain to be able to see objects. The retina is thus in charge of helping us see objects in various lighting conditions, may it be day or night, clear or foggy, by making the required adjustments in the eye. So, you can imagine how terrible it can be if the retina in your eye gets damaged!

Refractive error and cataracts are two most common eye problems that we see, with refractive error starting to create problems from a very young age, and cataracts coming on after an age of around 60. Although this is not definite; refractive error may come in the late adult stage, and younger adults may get cataracts too. But, going with the general way things work, almost every individual who suffers from a refractive error in the teens or adulthood goes in for a Lasik surgery to get rid of his spectacles and contact lenses. Then, when he grows older, he starts suffering from cataracts, which is why he wishes to undergo a cataract surgery too. But here, the question that arises is whether he can undergo a cataract surgery after he has undergone a Lasik procedure. If you are one such confused individual, you are at the right place to clear off your doubt.

Squint is the condition of the eyes in which the muscles of the eye are weak, which is why the eyeball is forced to focus in a different direction, while the vision of the health eye is focused on a central straight path. Generally, squint is seen in only one eye of an individual. This means that one of the eyes performs absolutely fine, with the other eye being deviated from its normal position. This means that the affected eye will look upwards, downwards, inwards, or outwards, but not on the central focal path. And, it is only rare that both the eyes of an individual will suffer from the condition. Whatever the condition, and whether one or both eyes are affected, there is nothing to worry, as this problem is easily curable.

Squint, more commonly known as the misalignment of the eyes to the layman, is one of the most common eye disorders seen across the globe. It affects the coordination between both the eyes, which is necessary for achieving clear binocular vision. There are six muscles in each eye that maintains such coordination, by having both our eyes looking at the same object together, making our eyes centered. But, in squint, one or more of these muscles don’t work as required, thus having both eyes looking in different directions. either both the eyes could be disoriented from the center, or one may look straight, while the other may look elsewhere.

When your vision gets unclear, you may not be able to see things clearly. Then, you may say that your vision has become blurred. You will say you need to have your eyes checked to see where your eyes have gone wrong; and one of the most common outcomes of the problem would be that you would have a refractive error, which would be treated by prescribed eyeglasses. But, there would be times when you may feel that you are having a cloudy-like appearance in your eyes. Cloud-like formations would be blocking your vision. But, in such a situation, you shouldn’t say that you are having a blurry vision; instead, you must say that you are having a blurry vision. People generally use the words cloudy vision and blurry vision interchangeable, while in fact both the terms are actually different from each other.
