The digital setup provides the comfort of home and flexibility of time. However, it also has some negative effects, especially on the health of an individual and health of the eye. These digital screens emit a significant amount of blue light than any other colour. Blue light usually has a short wavelength which can damage the soft tissues of the human eye. Digital screens, such as computers, laptops, smartphone and tablets can cause fatigue and eye strain. Effect of blue light on eyes Our body is designed uniquely in context to the sleep-wake cycle. A hormone present in our body named melatonin controls our sleep-wake cycle. The sleep-wake cycle is a process that keeps you awake during the day and makes you rest by sleep during the night. Blue light potentially causes sleepless nights and daytime fatigue. The p

Contoura Vision Bladeless LASIK - Lasikindia

  CONTOURA Vision   is the latest US-FDA approved   LASIK   technology available for   laser vision correction   and Ojas Eye Hospital is proud to be one of the first few in Western Maharashtra to offer this new technology to its trusted patients.   CONTOURA Vision   uses the most advanced mapping technology ( Allegro TOPOLYSER VARIO) to map the unique contour of the surface of your cornea. The scanning procedure analyses up to 22,000 elevation points on each eye to create a unique vision profile for you. This creates a highly detailed picture scanning microscopic peaks and valleys that can be smoothed out by the advance laser system with a personalized ablation pattern. So   Contoura Vision   not only removes the specs number but also corrects the corneal irregularities giving much sharper visual outcome and lesser night vision difficulties compared to any other   LASIK or SMILE . Are You a Candidate for Topography-guided LASIK? Topography-Guided LASIK  is especially helpful to patien

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) - Retinaindia

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding disease caused by abnormal development of retinal blood vessels in premature infants. Infants weighing about 2¾ pounds (1250 grams) or less and are born before 31 weeks of gestation are more likely to be affected by ROP. Retina of the eye is the innermost layer, that receives light and turns it into visual information that is sent to the brain. In Premature babies, the blood vessels that feed the retina haven’t finished growing, and get disturbed growth pattern due to premature birth. When ROP is severe, it can cause retinal detachment and possible blindness. Smaller a baby at birth, more likely chances are that baby will develop ROP. This disorder affects mostly both eyes and is the most common cause of vision loss in childhood and can lead to lifelong vision impairment and blindness. How common is ROP? With recent advances in neonatal care, premature babies are saved and not all premature infants develop ROP. Out of 20 millio

Is it possible to undergo Cataract surgery after LASIK - Ojaseyehospital

  In short, answer is yes. In this article we will try to elaborate about Cataract surgery and LASIK, so that you can understand how they are separate and interlinked. Our eye is an asymmetrical globe having a dimension of about an inch in diameter and is protected by bony socket called the orbit. It is surrounded by muscles for the eye movement. It consist of Conjunctiva(a thin layer of tissue that covers the entire front of your eye, except for the cornea), Cornea (clear transparent front part of the eye and of a dome shape), Sclera(white portion of the eye), Iris(the colored part) and Pupil(the black circular opening in the iris). Eye lens lies behind the iris and pupil. Light enters through pupil and the lens projects it onto the inside lining of the eye(equipped with special light-sensing cells) called the retina. It converts light into electrical impulses which are carried by your optic nerve to the brain. What is Lasik? LASIK(Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) is a type of r
