Squint generally begins in childhood, which if treated quickly and early can eliminate or at least manage the condition. Thus, when squint is seen in adults, it should be understood that it is the result of progressive untreated squint from childhood. However, this is not always the case. There could be rare instances where the individual may not be having squint in childhood, but may have developed the condition in adulthood due to an eye injury or head trauma. Approximately 4% of adults today suffer from squint, most of them related to accidents, injuries, and medical illnesses.

Cataracts is a disorder that affects most of the elderly citizens in the world. And, while this is such a common disorder, there is no medication or eye drop that can treat the condition. The only guaranteed solution to cataracts is surgery, which involves the surgical removal of the cloudy natural lens of the eye; replacing it with an artificial transparent lens known as the intraocular lens, or IOL in short.

Vision is one of the most important things in our lives. None of us can imagine what we’ll go through if we lose our vision! And, for a good vision, we need healthy eyes. Obviously, vision deteriorates as we age, but we can always take certain steps to preserve our good vision for longer. There are many things that we can do such as exercising our eyes, not straining them for too long, and avoiding over-exposure to digital screens, but one very important thing that we have heard ever since our teachers taught us in school is that we need to eat healthy. While our teachers always told us to eat green leafy vegetables and carrots to help with good vision, there is actually a whole long list of foods that can do good for our eyes.

Cataract surgery is a very common procedure that is being performed across the globe to help cataract patients see clearly after a very safe and comfortable operation. It generally takes a few days to recover from the pain and discomfort caused after the surgery, after which one can get back to his normal everyday routines. But, the complete recovery and healing of vision takes around 8 weeks. This is why it is suggested that you put any strenuous activity on hold for a few weeks. You could begin with light necessary activities after a week of your surgery, but keep your vigorous activities like work-outs and exercises at bay. Not doing so, and returning to exercising too soon after the surgery can increase the possible complications related to the procedure, which may have you to deal with a lot of problems for the rest of your lives.

Retina is the third inner coat of the eye, which is responsible for creating a picture of the image you see when the focused light hits it, and sending it to the brain through the optic nerve, to make vision possible. Any problem in the retina can cause serious problems like retinal tears, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, which may result in vision loss, and thus blindness. This is why it is very important to take care of the retina, and resolve even the slightest issue seen to avoid vision degradation.

Our eyes are one of the most important parts of our body without which we can’t imagine living for even a day! We rely so much on our eyesight that we’ll just be handicapped without it. But, in everyday life, we don’t realize its importance as we take our eyesight for granted. It is only when we start having issues with our eyes that we run around to get them treated at the earliest. When our eyes get blurred, red, watery, or itchy, we want to rush to a doctor to get our eyes checked. But, why not take proper care of the eyes in the first place so that we don’t have to approach an eye doctor for a treatment?

Strabismus, or squint in layman terms, is a condition in which both the eyes point in different directions. The defect could be in one or both the eyes. Either both the eyes could be pointing inwards or outwards, or one eye could be normal, while the other would be pointing elsewhere.

Ageing brings a lot of differences within the body. The most basic problems that we all have to go through as we age include wrinkling skin, graying hair, and body aches. But, there is one other thing too that most of us have to encounter, and that is eye problems. There are a number of eye conditions that are linked to ageing, with the most basic one being presbyopia, which is nothing but long-sightedness that causes blurred vision, which makes it difficult for one to read or see objects that are at a close distance. While this is a very common age-related issue that can be treated with the help of prescribed glasses, there are many other problems that are considered a little more severe. These include cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. All these issues, if encountered, can be cured by nothing other than a surgery!
