Eye Diseases
Eye diseases are a branch of medicine that includes the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up processes of diseases that affect vision and negatively affect eye health. Private Jimer Hospital Eye Diseases Department offers comprehensive health services with advanced technology devices and expert staff to protect eye health and eliminate vision problems. Since eye health directly affects the quality of life of individuals, regular eye check-ups and early diagnosis are of great importance.
What Diseases Does the Eye Diseases Department Deal With?
The eye diseases department deals with the diagnosis and treatment of many different disorders that affect vision and eye health. The most common eye diseases include:
- **Glaucoma (Eye Pressure)**: Glaucoma, which occurs when the optic nerve is damaged as a result of increased intraocular pressure, may not show symptoms in the early stages, but if left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. Medications and surgical methods are used in the treatment of glaucoma.
- **Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigmatism**: These refractive errors caused by structural disorders of the eye cause blurred vision. These defects can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses or laser treatment.
- **Retinal Diseases**: Retinal diseases such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration are serious conditions that can cause vision loss. Laser treatment, drug injections and surgical methods are used in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases.
- **Dry Eye**: Dry eyes, which occurs as a result of insufficient tear production or evaporation of tears, manifests itself with symptoms such as burning, stinging and redness in the eyes. Dry eyes can be controlled with tear drops and other treatment methods.
- **Strabism**: Strabismus, which is the condition in which the eyes cannot be aligned parallel, can cause visual impairment and aesthetic problems. Glasses, exercises and surgical methods are used in the treatment of strabismus.
- **Keratoconus**: Keratoconus, which is characterized by the thinning and sharpening of the corneal layer, causes blurred vision. While contact lens treatment can be applied in the early stage, corneal transplantation may be required in the later stage.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Methods Applied in Eye Diseases
Many different methods are used in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. Private Jimer Hospital Eye Diseases Department offers accurate and rapid diagnosis services to our patients using modern diagnostic devices and technologies:
- **Eye Examination**: An eye examination performed to examine visual acuity, eye pressure and intraocular structures in detail allows eye diseases to be detected at an early stage.
- **Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)**: OCT, which provides detailed imaging of the retina and optic nerve, is an advanced imaging method used in the diagnosis of retinal diseases and glaucoma.
- **Ultrasonography**: Ultrasonography is used to evaluate intraocular and posterior segment structures. This method is especially helpful in the diagnosis of conditions such as cataracts and retinal detachment.
- **Laser Treatment**: Laser treatment is a frequently used method in the treatment of eye diseases. Laser applications are preferred in the treatment of glaucoma, retinal tears and refractive errors.
- **Surgical Interventions**: Surgical interventions such as cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery and strabismus correction surgery are used in the treatment of eye diseases. These surgeries help patients regain their vision.
Suggestions for Protecting Eye Health
It is important to take some precautions to protect eye health, improve quality of life and help prevent eye diseases. Here are some suggestions for protecting eye health:
- **Regular Eye Examination**: It is important to have regular eye examinations to protect eye health. Especially for individuals over the age of 40, regular check-ups are essential for early diagnosis of diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts.
- **Balanced Nutrition**: A diet rich in vitamins A, C and E and omega-3 fatty acids should be preferred for eye health. Foods such as carrots, spinach, fish and citrus fruits are beneficial for eye health.
- **Protecting Eyes from Harmful Rays**: It is important to use sunglasses to protect against the harmful UV rays of the sun. In addition, it is recommended that individuals who spend long periods of time in front of the screen use glasses with blue light filters.
- **Be Careful When Using Digital Screens**: Prolonged exposure to computer and phone screens can cause eye fatigue and dryness. Adhering to the 20-20-20 rule (looking 20 meters away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes) when working in front of a screen can help protect your eyes.
- **Avoid Smoking**: Smoking can increase the risk of eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Therefore, avoiding smoking is important for eye health.
