I have a little crust on one eyelid that comes and goes without ever fully silmo bangkok healing. What should I do?

This condition could be the expression of a small epithelioma, that is a skin tumor which, if not completely removed, can grow both externally and deeply in a progressive way. It is necessary to undergo an eye examination to ascertain the nature of the neoformation.
What exactly are the exams that an ophthalmologist does?

The eye examination always begins with the determination of the visual capacity and any necessary correction to obtain the silmo bangkok best possible vision, both far and near.

Subsequently, the slit lamp examination of the anterior segment of the eye (cornea, conjunctiva, anterior chamber and crystalline) and of the appendages (eyelids, orbit, lacrimal ducts) is carried out; pupillary reflexes are evaluated; if necessary, color vision and stereoscopic function are investigated.

Ocular motility and convergence capacity are investigated.

Subsequently, the intraocular pressure is measured by applanation (more precise and accurate system than the measurement by blowing) after administration of anesthetic eye drops;

  • The last silmo bangkok phase consists in the instillation of mydriatic eye drops that dilate the pupil and allow the complete and accurate examination of the ocular fundus (or fundus oculi) which takes place through a special lens that is positioned in front of the patient’s eye;
  • with the fundus oculi it is possible to see the retina, both central (macula) and peripheral;
  • the vessels (characteristic signs of arterial hypertension may be highlighted); the optic nerve.

In the event of problems affecting one or more components of the visual system, the ophthalmologist may deem it necessary to perform other tests or procedures that may be feasible directly in the office or may require a silmo bangkok hospital.

During the day I see well, but in the evening, when I drive, I seem to see little. It’s normal?

Blurred vision in low light conditions can be a sign of a badly corrected or incorrect refractive defect, or of the lack of the ability to compensate for a defect that we have always had but which until recently did not give any problems. In extremely rare cases, the loss of vision in the dark can be caused by degenerative diseases of the peripheral retina.

I’m tired of wearing glasses and I’m thinking about refractive surgery. I have read about various types of intervention. Which is the safest? What are the differences? Is the correction permanent or after a few years I might need to do it again?

during-the-day-i-see-well-but-in-the-evening-when-i-drive-i-seem-to-see-little-its-normalThe indication for a refractive surgery and the choice of the type of surgery depend on many factors ranging from the age of the patient to the result of a whole series of tests to which it is necessary to undergo just to ensure that the eye is in degree to be operated on and above all what is the most suitable intervention for that eye and that refractive problem.

Each patient and each case must therefore be carefully and individually evaluated; in expert hands and with a good selection of patients it is in fact possible to significantly reduce the risks of complications associated with this type of intervention.

  • Usually the intervention is definitive; however, the refractive defect must be stable; otherwise the result will most likely be partial and will require revision.
  • I know that for some years laser surgery has also been done for presbyopia. Are they reliable?
  • There is still very little case history in this regard.

A friend of mine nearly went blind after refractive surgery … is it worth the risk?

There are absolutely no surgical procedures that are completely free from the risk of complications; the choice of whether or not to undergo refractive surgery is therefore closely linked to the motivations of the individual patient, as is the case for all interventions whose indication is not absolute (life-saving interventions). That said, a scrupulous preoperative evaluation and reliance on highly specialized facilities greatly reduces the risk of complications.
