Pterygium refers to a condition of the eye caused by the abnormal growth of conjunctiva; a dense growth of tissue across the cornea. It basically grows from the nasal side of Sclera. The main causes of Pterygium are either too much exposure to sunlight i.e the UV rays, or the environmental irritants like dust, wind or even low humidity. At Vista Eye we offer services which deal with this disease under the supervision and care of our experts and specialists in the field.

It is observed since the disease is caused by environmental irritants; it is most commonly found in people who live around the equator. Plus it is more common in men than in women. There are many simple preventive measures which our experts offer to avoid Pterygium, some of which include wearing sun glasses, use of brimmed hats and artificial tears. Hence protective measures on the sea should also be taken by wearing protective eye wear so that the UV rays from the sun could be avoided. As in the extreme cases the Pterygium can even grow completely across the front of the eye ball which may cause subsequent loss to the vision.

Since Pterygium is a benign growth it doesn’t always require a surgery but only in extreme cases when it covers the pupils obstructing the vision. A definite treatment of it could only be achieved through surgery which shall require monitoring to avoid it later in life. At Vista Eye the surgery might at the maximum take 10 minutes which is performed under an anesthetic to ensure comfort of the patient. However there might occur redness or irritation in the eye for which our experts at Vista Eye will give you proper antibiotic ointment and a patch for the eye to be worn overnight. Most of our patients have been able to resume normal activities or work the very next day!

The characteristic damage of the Optic nerve which eventually leads to a blind eye if left untreated is called Glaucoma. It is commonly termed as the ‘silent thief of eye’ as the symptoms only occur when the disease is quite advanced. Once the vision is lost, it is not possible to regain it but treatment could be done to prevent further damage of the eye. Our Specialists at Vista Eye not only are trained for correction and treatment of Glaucoma but also they are experts in identification of these diseases at an early stage which results in prevention of significant eye loss of our valued patients.

The eye disease- Glaucoma

We at Vista Eye ensure that cases of Glaucoma are handled on top priority basis considering the significance of the results. We offer services for treatment of both the kinds of Glaucoma, the open angle glaucoma and closed angle glaucoma.

Our experts at Vista Eye believe glaucoma has nothing to do with any vitamin deficiencies; hence oral supplementation is not the treatment. Our Eye Specialists at Vista Eye have state of the art equipments and devices which are used in the detection and eradication of glaucoma. However our specialists at Vista Eye do believe that patients already suffering from glaucoma should avoid caffeine as it increases the intraocular pressure in the effected eye.

Our experts at Vista Eye stress the fact that glaucoma can be treated but it is not 100% curable. Our Vista Eye Specialists again and again stress on an eye pressure check for glaucoma, from as early as an age of 35. The visual field test shall detect peripheral vision loss. However an early detection can prevent and slow further damage to the eye caused by glaucoma. Low vision aids of top quality and technology are provided by Vista Eye Specialists which shall improve the vision of the glaucoma affected eye.
