Cataract

Cataracts are among the leading causes of vision loss in the Philippines and the world. Doctors at Asian Eye Institute can help patients restore their eyesight.

Providing Comprehensive Eye Care to Cataract Patients in the Philippines

At Asian Eye Institute, you can expect comprehensive care tailored to your needs as a cataract patient. We have eye care professionals who specialize in helping people with cataracts, especially those already losing their vision. Our advanced facilities and technologies will be used for diagnosis and treatment.

What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts are a common eye problem in which the eye’s natural lens becomes clouded. It usually develops with age, but other factors can also cause it. Depending on the severity, it can result in partial to total vision impairment as the clouded lenses obstruct the passage of light to the retina.

How Do You Treat Cataracts?

Without proper treatment, this condition can cause patients to lose their eyesight, which can only be reversed through surgery. During the operation, the clouded lens will be removed and replaced with artificial intraocular lenses. The procedure is incredibly safe and fast, with a high chance of success.

Genetic Eye Conditions

As the name suggests, genetic eye conditions result from abnormalities in an individual’s genes. They are often inherited from parents and can affect various parts of the eye. Some of them can lead to vision impairment or even blindness. A few notable examples are retinitis pigmentosa and glaucoma.

Pediatric and Adult Strabismus

Strabismus is a misalignment of the eyes, often caused by underlying eye conditions or external factors. It can be present in children (pediatric strabismus), but it can also develop later in life (adult strabismus). Left untreated, it can result in double vision, eye strain, headaches, and other symptoms.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of permanent blindness in the Philippines and the world. It refers to a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, crucial for transmitting visual information to the brain. The disease can be categorized into two main types: open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma.

Retina and Vitreous Diseases

Retina and vitreous diseases refer to a range of conditions affecting the back portion of the eye that captures light and transmits signals (retina) and the gel-like substance within the eye (vitreous). A few well-known examples are retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.

Cornea and External Diseases

Cornea and external eye diseases refer to a group of conditions that affect the cornea (the transparent front part of the eye) and its surrounding structures. Some common conditions are pterygium, dry eye, keratoconus, corneal abrasion, and pink eye. Proper treatment is necessary to prevent them from worsening.

Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome is quite common. It is characterized by the insufficient production of tears, leading to discomfort and potential vision problems. Tears keep your eyes moist and wash away dust, reducing the risk of eye infection. Its symptoms include eye dryness and redness, sometimes accompanied by a burning or itching sensation. In other cases, they lead to sensitivity to light and even blurred vision.
