Laser Vision Correction at Dar Al Oyoun

Laser Vision Correction may help selected patients reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Available techniques may include:

• LASIK.

• Femto LASIK.

• PRK.

• Other refractive procedures depending on corneal measurements and patient suitability.

The appropriate technique is selected only after a complete eye and corneal assessment.

LASIK at Dar Al Oyoun

LASIK – Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis is one of the most widely used procedures for refractive vision correction.

It may be used in selected patients with:

• Myopia.

• Hyperopia.

• Astigmatism.

The procedure reshapes the cornea to improve how light is focused onto the retina.

Femto LASIK

Femto LASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap rather than a conventional mechanical blade.

Suitability depends on factors such as:

• Corneal thickness.

• Corneal shape.

• Refractive error.

• Stability of prescription.

• Ocular surface health.

PRK

Photorefractive Keratectomy – PRK is a surface laser vision correction procedure performed without creating a corneal flap.

It may be considered for selected patients who are not ideal candidates for conventional LASIK.

Who Is a Good Candidate for LASIK?

Preoperative evaluation may include:

• Age.

• Stability of glasses prescription.

• Corneal thickness.

• Corneal shape.

• Presence of keratoconus.

• Dry eye status.

• Retinal health.

• Degree of myopia or hyperopia.

• General medical conditions that may affect the eye.

Tests Before LASIK

Pre-LASIK assessment may include:

• Visual acuity.

• Refraction.

• Corneal Topography.

• Corneal Tomography.

• Pachymetry.

• Intraocular pressure.

• Retinal examination.

• Ocular surface assessment.

• Dry eye evaluation.

These tests help determine whether laser vision correction is safe and appropriate.

Is LASIK Suitable for Everyone?

No.

LASIK may not be suitable in cases involving:

• Irregular corneal shape.

• Keratoconus.

• Insufficient corneal thickness.

• Unstable prescription.

• Certain eye diseases.

• Some systemic medical conditions.

Alternative refractive options may be considered when appropriate.

Cataract Treatment at Dar Al Oyoun

Cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy.

Symptoms may include:

• Blurred vision.

• Reduced night vision.

• Glare around lights.

• Frequent prescription changes.

• Difficulty reading or driving.

Cataract Surgery

Modern cataract surgery commonly uses Phacoemulsification, where the cloudy lens is removed through a small incision and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens.

Intraocular Lenses After Cataract Surgery

Lens selection depends on:

• Eye measurements.

• Refractive status.

• Degree of astigmatism.

• Daily visual needs.

• Retinal condition.

• Optic nerve status.

Options may include:

• Monofocal IOLs.

• Toric IOLs.

• Multifocal lenses in selected cases.

• Extended-range lenses in selected patients.

Does Every Cataract Need Surgery?

Not immediately.

Surgery is generally considered when cataract begins to interfere with vision and daily activities.

There is no eye drop that restores a significantly clouded natural lens to normal transparency, so visually significant cataract is treated surgically.

Retina Services at Dar Al Oyoun

Retinal disorders can affect central or peripheral vision and may require medical, laser, injection, or surgical treatment.

Conditions may include:

• Diabetic retinopathy.

• Retinal detachment.

• Vitreous hemorrhage.

• Macular disorders.

• Macular hole.

• Epiretinal membrane.

• Retinal vascular occlusion.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels of the retina.

Advanced disease may cause:

• Blurred vision.

• Floaters.

• Reduced vision.

• Vitreous hemorrhage.

Early stages may produce few or no symptoms, making regular retinal examinations important for diabetic patients.

OCT Retina Scan

Optical Coherence Tomography – OCT produces detailed cross-sectional images of the retina.

It may be used in conditions such as:

• Diabetic Macular Edema.

• Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

• Macular Hole.

• Epiretinal Membrane.

• Selected optic nerve disorders.

Intravitreal Eye Injections

Intravitreal Injection is used to deliver medication directly into the eye for selected retinal diseases.

Anti-VEGF medications may be used for conditions such as:

• Diabetic Macular Edema.

• Selected forms of macular degeneration.

• Macular edema following retinal vein occlusion.

The medication and treatment schedule depend on the diagnosis and response.

Retinal Detachment

Retinal Detachment requires urgent ophthalmic assessment.

Symptoms may include:

• Sudden flashes of light.

• Sudden increase in floaters.

• A curtain or shadow in the visual field.

• Sudden loss of vision.

Treatment depends on the type, size, and location of the detachment.

Vitrectomy

Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure involving the vitreous and retina.

It may be used for:

• Vitreous hemorrhage.

• Retinal detachment.

• Selected complications of diabetic retinopathy.

• Macular hole.

• Epiretinal membrane.

• Selected eye injuries.

Corneal Services at Dar Al Oyoun

The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye.

Changes in its shape, thickness, or clarity can significantly affect vision.

Conditions may include:

• Keratoconus.

• Corneal scars.

• Corneal dystrophies.

• Dry eye.

• Corneal infection.

• Problems following previous eye surgery.

Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a progressive condition in which the cornea becomes thinner and develops an abnormal cone-like shape.

It may cause:

• Irregular astigmatism.

• Frequent prescription changes.

• Blurred vision.

• Reduced visual quality.

• Difficulty achieving clear vision with glasses in advanced cases.

Keratoconus Tests

Important investigations may include:

• Corneal Topography.

• Corneal Tomography.

• Pachymetry.

These tests help assess:

• Corneal shape.

• Degree of steepening.

• Corneal thickness.

• Disease progression.

Corneal Cross-Linking

Corneal Cross-Linking – CXL may be used in selected patients with progressive keratoconus.

The aim is to strengthen the corneal structure and reduce further progression.

Suitability depends on:

• Patient age.

• Corneal thickness.

• Disease severity.

• Evidence of progression.

Glaucoma Treatment at Dar Al Oyoun

Glaucoma refers to a group of conditions that can cause progressive optic nerve damage.

It is often associated with elevated eye pressure, although glaucoma can occur with pressures that are not markedly high.

Glaucoma Tests

Assessment may include:

• Intraocular pressure measurement.

• Optic nerve examination.

• OCT of the optic nerve.

• Visual Field Testing.

• Corneal thickness measurement.

• Gonioscopy when indicated.

Glaucoma Treatment

Treatment may include:

• Pressure-lowering eye drops.

• Laser procedures.

• Surgery in selected cases.

The goal is to protect the optic nerve and reduce the risk of further visual loss.

Pediatric Ophthalmology at Dar Al Oyoun

Children require specialized eye assessment because some conditions can interfere with normal visual development.

Common problems include:

• Refractive errors.

• Strabismus.

• Amblyopia.

• Congenital eye conditions.

Treatment depends on the cause and age of the patient.

Strabismus Treatment

Options may include:

• Glasses.

• Amblyopia treatment.

Amblyopia

Amblyopia – Lazy Eye occurs when vision does not develop normally in one eye during childhood.

It may result from:

• Significant difference in refractive error between the two eyes.

• Strabismus.

• Visual obstruction.

• Selected congenital eye conditions.

Early diagnosis and treatment are important for visual development.

Eye Trauma and Emergency Assessment

Urgent ophthalmic evaluation is important in symptoms such as:

• Sudden loss of vision.

• Direct eye trauma.

• Foreign body in the eye.

• Chemical burn.
