Find out more about the different eye treatments offered by a retina eye clinic

Ophthalmologists nowadays can treat patients with major eye conditions such as retinal refraction, macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and more, by using a number of modern techniques and innovative equipment. Naturally, speciality eye care is offered at specialist facilities such as a retina eye clinic.

A retina eye clinic offers various laser procedures by highly competent ophthalmologists, to patients who qualify for a particular treatment such as laser eye surgery. In fact, it is now possible to successfully treat most serious eye conditions with laser, since laser technology has evolved significantly over the last few years.

Due to an eye condition that their spectacles or contact lenses are unable to address adequately, some people find it very challenging to engage in a particular pastime or sport. Glasses are certainly not a panacea for all eye issues, and in some cases, the problem could be very serious. However, you need to meet specific prerequisites, which can only be established by a competent and experienced ophthalmologist, to quality for refractive surgery - which would eventually render you fully independent of glasses or contact lenses.

For example, if someone only requires glasses or contact lenses for reading but still has good distance vision, their lens still serves its purpose and therefore, it is probably not the best time to think about a lens replacement procedure.

There are many reasons why it is important to have your eyes regularly examined by an eye expert or to visit a retinal eye clinic at least once a year but preventing major eye diseases or disorders and potential blindness, should be your main driving force. After all, you only have one set of eyes, and no amount of surgery or laser treatment can prevent lifelong blindness if you do not take proper care of your eyes.

Whether they seek complete independence from contact lenses or glasses or have a serious eye condition that is impairing their vision, more and more patients nowadays are receiving laser treatment for their eye conditions at a renowned retina eye clinic where all surgical procedures are performed or led by trained and experienced ophthalmologists.

Some retina clinics in London offer extensive diagnostic and effective treatment for a wide range of eye diseases and disorders, including glaucoma - a serious eye condition that, if not detected and treated early on, can result in permanent blindness.

Other treatments that are available from some eye clinics in London, are Vitreolysis treatment, which is a laser procedure used to successfully resolve issues with ‘floaters’ in the eye. This non-invasive, painless vitreous laser treatment (known as vitreolysis) can offer much-needed relief to patients who suffer from the visual disturbances that are caused by floaters.

One important thing to keep in mind is that you may have the best eye specialist in the world with the most advanced technology at their disposal, but if you do not regularly visit your eye doctor for a proper eye examination where problems can be identified and treated at an early stage, there is nothing you can do to change the outcome.

People with a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, cataracts or glaucoma should visit a specialist eye doctor at least once a year, but keep in mind that as one gets older, your eyesight also deteriorates, so even if you are healthy otherwise, it is advised that you see an optometrist at least every two years to have your eyes examined.

To conclude, you should never overlook or disregard any eye problems, and always make sure you get the best eye care when seeking treatment at a medical facility like a retina eye clinic. If you are willing to do your part, serious eye conditions can be effectively treated.
