Ophthalmology


Mercan Hospital's Department of Ophthalmology provides the complete spectrum of services for diagnosing and treating eye conditions and vision issues. Modern diagnostic tools enable the department's specialists to perform diagnostics as accurately as possible and to provide an effective course of therapy while taking into consideration each patient's unique needs and preferences.

STRABISMUS

Both children and adults can develop the disorder strabismus.

Treatment:

It is a broad-spectrum illness having the following traits:

It's a surgical procedure.
It can be fixed with just a pair of glasses.
It may be connected to amblyopia or not (lazy eye).
It develops as a result of ocular muscle paralysis.

CATARACT

Loss of transparency in the lens, which is situated behind the pupil, is one of the disease's symptoms. Neither eye drops nor glasses can treat cataracts. An operation is a possible course of treatment.


You could also have cataract if you have any of these concerns:

-Altering the quantity of corrective glasses often and having poor vision despite wearing glasses
-Despite wearing glasses, I have poor vision.
-Color vision and yellowness
-Reduced nighttime vision and low light


Since a cataract grows and matures over time, individuals might not notice their vision loss as it gradually worsens.

The tools and materials used for the operation should be carefully chosen since cataract surgery is a specialist procedure that necessitates the use of microsurgical methods.

Local anesthetic is typically used to numb the eye before the surgeries procedure is used to separate and remove the opaque native lens and replace it with FDA-approved synthetic lenses. Trifocal - Smart Lenses that correct both nearsightedness and farsightedness can be utilized, depending on the patient's preferences.

Children with eye diseases

Certain eye problems start in childhood, but if they are not detected early on, they cannot be cured. Therefore, it's crucial for kids to get frequent eye exams. Every kid should get an eye exam, but especially those who are 1 year old, 3 to 4 years old, or in the preschool years.

Children who have high-number corrective lenses, strabismus, or amblyopia in the family should see an ophthalmologist very away.




On the same day that the cataract surgery is completed, patients are released. Due to the danger of infection, both eyes are not surgically treated at the same time.
