November is Diabetic Eye Disease Month

November is Diabetic Eye Disease Month

November is recognized as Diabetic Eye Disease Month, dedicated to raising awareness about this serious condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Diabetic eye disease refers to a group of eye problems that can occur as a result of diabetes, including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma.

Understanding Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common form of diabetic eye disease and occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina. Over time, this can lead to vision loss or even blindness if left untreated. Diabetic macular edema, on the other hand, involves swelling in the macula, which is responsible for central vision.

Cataracts are another common complication of diabetes, where clouding occurs in the lens of the eye. This can cause blurred vision and difficulty seeing clearly. Lastly, glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve and can result in peripheral vision loss.

Understanding Diabetic Eye Disease

Importance of Early Detection

One of the key messages during Diabetic Eye Disease Month is the importance of early detection. Regular eye exams are crucial for individuals with diabetes to monitor their eye health and catch any potential issues before they progress. By detecting diabetic eye disease at an early stage, treatment options may be more effective in preventing further damage.

Managing Diabetes for Healthy Eyes

In addition to regular eye exams, managing diabetes effectively plays a significant role in maintaining healthy eyes. Keeping blood sugar levels within a target range through proper diet, exercise, medication (if prescribed), and regular monitoring can help minimize the risk of developing diabetic eye disease.

It's also essential to maintain good overall health by adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes eating nutritious meals, staying physically active, getting enough sleep, managing stress levels effectively, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol consumption.

Managing Diabetes for Healthy Eyes

Spread Awareness

During Diabetic Eye Disease Month, it's crucial to spread awareness about the importance of eye health for individuals with diabetes. By sharing information, resources, and personal experiences, we can encourage others to prioritize regular eye exams and take steps towards better managing their diabetes.

Remember, early detection and proactive management are key to preventing vision loss associated with diabetic eye disease. Let's work together to ensure that everyone with diabetes has access to the necessary care and support for healthy eyes.

If you or someone you know has diabetes, make sure to schedule a comprehensive eye exam today. Your eyesight is worth it!

Here is the message of our Lead consultant Professor Dr. Zia Ul Mazhry

"Diabetic retinopathy is a scientific term that means damage to the retina caused by leaky vessels of new vessel formation on the retina. Early detection is the key to damage control and devising a treatment plan. Moreover, by managing diabetes, you can reduce the progression of this disease affecting your eyesight. Patients having a high risk of diabetic retinopathy should know that regular examination and follow-up by a qualified eye specialist is the only way to timely diagnoses of this blinding disease. The sooner the diagnosis is established, the better custom treatment plan can be materialized."

Conclusion

Diabetic Eye Disease Month serves as a reminder of the potential risks that individuals with diabetes face when it comes to their vision. By understanding the different types of diabetic eye disease, emphasizing early detection, and managing diabetes effectively, we can help reduce the impact of this condition on people's lives. Let's join forces in spreading awareness and ensuring that everyone receives the necessary care for healthy eyes.

Limbal Dermoid

A 12-year-old boy presented to us with history of swelling in his right eye since birth and difficulty in vision for the last 2-3 years. The swelling was soft, localised, elevated, opaque, yellow-white mass located on the inferior temporal limbus at 7-8’o clock, there were fine hair present on the surface of swelling. Cycloplegic auto-refraction of the patient showed SPH +3.25 with CYL +5.00 at 118 degrees in right eye and SPH +1.25 with CYL +2.50 at 91 degrees. The patient had significant astigmatism in his right eye. Rest of the clinical examination of the patient was normal including anterior segment examination and retinal examination. The diagnosis of Limbal Dermoid was subsequently made and patient was advised excision.

Limbal dermoids are benign tumors that are choristomas (normal tissue at an abnormal site). Dermoid contains hair, adipose tissue, and squamous epithelium, presence of these findings is almost always pathognomic. Limbal dermoids are usually not inherited, however familial presentation of limbal dermoids in association with systemic disorders, such as Goldenhar syndrome is well known. Other associated ocular abnormalities include colobomata of the eyelids, lacrimal anomalies, scleral and corneal staphylomata, aniridia, and microphthalmia. Limbal dermoids can cause cosmetic disfigurement along with pressure symptoms on cornea leading to astigmatism and amblyopia in younger children. Prognosis generally is favorable and diagnosis is clinical.

The treatment approach for limbal dermoids may involve various methods depending on the specific case. These can include regular removal of irritating cilia, using topical lubrication to prevent foreign body sensation, or opting for surgical excision if the dermoid causes significant cosmetic disfigurement or vision interference.

Surgical intervention should be considered when the potential benefits, such as improved vision or cosmetic appearance, outweigh the risks associated with scar formation or surgical complications. The decision to proceed with surgery should be carefully evaluated, taking into account the individual patient's needs and circumstances.

Limbal Dermoid in a 12 years old patient, note the fine hairs on the surface and surface keratinization.

Is Too Much Screen Time Harming Children’s Vision?

Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan and the American Academy of Ophthalmology help parents separate facts from fiction.

As children spend more time tethered to screens, there is increasing concern about potential harm to their visual development. Ophthalmologists – physicians who specialize in medical and surgical eye care – are seeing a marked increase in children with dry eye and eye strain from too much screen time. But does digital eyestrain cause lasting damage? Should your child use reading glasses or computer glasses? As you send your kids back to school this month for more time with screens and books, Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan and the American Academy of Ophthalmology are arming parents with the facts, so they can make informed choices about their children’s eye health.

It’s a fact that there is a worldwide epidemic of myopia, also known as nearsightedness. Since 1971, the incidence of nearsightedness in the US nearly doubled, to 42 percent. In Asia, up to 90 percent of teenagers and adults are nearsighted. Clearly, something is going on. But scientists can’t agree on exactly what.

A new study appearing in Ophthalmology, the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, offers further evidence that at least part of the worldwide increase in nearsightedness has to do with near work activities; not just screens but also traditional books. And, that spending time outdoors—especially in early childhood—can slow the progression of nearsightedness. It remains unclear whether the rise in nearsightedness is due to focusing on phones all the time, to light interacting with our circadian rhythms to influence eye growth or none of the above.

Digital Strain

Digital Strain

While scientists look for a definitive answer, there is no doubt that most computer users experience digital eyestrain. Kids are no different from adults when it comes to digital eyestrain. They can experience dry eye, eye strain, headaches, and blurry vision, too. While symptoms are typically temporary, they may be frequent and persistent.

But this doesn’t mean they need a prescription for computer glasses or that they have developed an eye condition of middle-age that requires reading glasses, as some suggest. It also doesn’t mean that blue light coming from computer screens is damaging their eyes. It means they need to take more frequent breaks. This is because we don’t blink as often while using computers and other digital devices. Extended reading, writing, or other intensive work can also cause eye strain. Ophthalmologists recommend taking a 20-second break from near work every 20 minutes.

Here are 10 tips to help protect your child’s eyes from computer eyestrain

Here are 10 tips to help protect your child’s eyes from computer eyestrain:

• Set a kitchen timer or a smart device timer to remind them.
• Alternate reading an e-book with a real book and encourage kids to look up and out the window every two chapters

20-20-20 Rule

• After completing a level in a video game, look out the window for 20 seconds.
• Pre-mark books with a paperclip every few chapters to remind your child to look up. On an e-book, use the “bookmark” function for the same effect.
• Avoid using a computer outside or in brightly lit areas, as the glare on the screen can create strain.
• Adjust the brightness and contrast of your computer screen so that it feels comfortable for you.
• Use good posture when using a computer and when reading.

Encourage your child to hold digital media farther away, 18 to 24 inches is ideal.

• Encourage your child to hold digital media farther away, 18 to 24 inches is ideal.
• Create a distraction that causes your child to look up every now and then.
• Remind them to blink when watching a screen.

“I prefer to teach kids better habits, instead of supplying them a crutch like reading glasses to enable them to consume even more media,” said K. David Epley, M.D., clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “If you run too far and your legs start hurting, you stop. Likewise, if you’ve been reading too long or watching videos too long, and your eyes start hurting, you should stop.”

Here is the message from our lead consultant Professor Dr. Zia Ul Mazhry,

"Your child’s vision is critical and even more critical is protecting it during everyday activities. Eye injuries occur most commonly during outdoor sports or athletics. The parents and guardians need to pay close attention as a caregiver. If the kids are left alone, will often opt to not wear protective eyewear when playing sports, let alone a helmet, due to a number of reasons. Therefore, it’s up to you to ensure your child’s eyes and vision are kept safe."

How to Pick the Best Sunglasses to Protect Your Eyes

Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan and the American Academy of Ophthalmology offer seven tips for choosing sunglasses that protect against the sun's damaging UV rays

ایکویٹی آئی سنٹر لاہور پاکستان اور امریکن اکیڈمی آف اوفتھلمولوجی دھوپ کے چشموں کے انتخاب کے لئے سات تدابیر پیش کرتی ہے جو سورج کی نقصان دہ یووی کرنوں سے بچاتا ہے

Sunglasses aren't an optional summertime accessory, they're an essential prescription for eye health. Long-term exposure to the sun without proper protection can increase the risk of eye disease, including cataracts, growths in the eye, and eye cancer. As summer gets underway, Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology share seven essential tips for buying the best sunglasses to protect your eyes.

دھوپ کے چشمے موسم گرما کے وقت اختیاری لوازمات نہیں ہیں ، وہ آنکھوں کی صحت کے لیے ایک ضروری نسخہ ہیں۔ مناسب حفاظت کے بغیر دھوپ میں طویل مدتی نمائش سے آنکھوں کے مرض کا خطرہ بڑھ سکتا ہے ، بشمول سفید موتیا ، آنکھ میں نمو اور آنکھ کا کینسر۔ جیسے جیسے موسم گرما کا آغاز ہورہا ہے ، ایکیوئٹی آئی سنٹر لاہور پاکستان اور امریکن اکیڈمی آف اوفتھلمولوجی آپ کی آنکھوں کی حفاظت کے لیے بہترین دھوپ کے چشمے خریدنے کے لئے سات ضروری نکات شیئر کررہی ہے۔

Choose sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation.

Labels can sometimes be confusing. Some indicate sunglasses offer 100 percent protection from UVA/UVB radiation, others offer 100 percent UV 400 protection. Rest assured, both will block 100 percent of the sun's harmful radiation.

Doubt the UV protection label?

Take your sunglasses to an optical shop or an ophthalmologist’s office. Most have a UV light meter that can test the UV-blocking ability of sunglasses.

Buy oversized.

The more coverage from sunglasses, the less sun damage inflicted on the eyes. Consider buying oversized glasses or wraparound-style glasses, which help cut down on UV entering the eye from the side.

Don't be fooled by the color.

While dark lenses may look cool, they do not block more UV rays.

You don't need to pass on cheap sunglasses.

Sunglasses don't have to cost a lot of money to provide adequate eye protection. Less expensive pairs marked as 100 percent UV-blocking can be just as effective as pricier options.

Don't forget the kids.

Children are just as susceptible to the sun's harmful rays as adults. Start them on healthy habits early.

Consider polarized lenses.

Polarization reduces glare coming off reflective surfaces like water or pavement. This does not offer more protection from the sun but can make activities like driving or being on the water safer or more enjoyable.

Even short-term exposure can damage the eyes. Sun reflecting off water can cause a painful sunburn called photokeratitis on the front part of the eye. It causes redness, blurry vision, sensitivity to bright light, and, in rare cases, even temporary vision loss.

"Think of sunglasses as sunscreen for your eyes," said Dianna Seldomridge, MD, clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. "Your eyes need protection from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays just like your skin. Make sure your eyes are protected year-round. Harmful UV rays are present even on cloudy days."

آپ کی آنکھوں کو بھی آپ کی جلد کی طرح سورج کی نقصان دہ الٹرا وائلٹ شعاعوں سے تحفظ کی ضرورت ہے۔ اس بات کو یقینی بنائیں کہ آپ کی آنکھیں سال بھر محفوظ رہیں۔ نقصان دہ الٹرا وائلٹ سورج کی کرنیں ابر آلود دنوں میں بھی موجود رہتی ہیں۔

Here is the message from our lead consultant Professor Dr. Zia Ul Mazhry,

" Life without eyes is not easy, take care of them. Your eyes are your most important tools – Protect them! You and Your kids need to wear eye-protective glasses because the eyes are vulnerable to any type of UV damage."

آنکھوں کے بغیر زندگی آسان نہیں ہے ، ان کا خیال رکھنا چاہیے۔ آپ کی آنکھیں آپ کے سب سے اہم اوزار ہیں – ان کی حفاظت کریں! آپ کو اور آپ کے بچوں کو آنکھوں کے حفاظتی چشمے پہننے کی ضرورت ہے کسی بھی طرح کی بالائے بنفشی شعاعیں آنکھوں کو نقصان پہنچا سکتی ہیں۔

Healthy Vision Awareness Month

The Health Exam You Didn’t Know You Needed

Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan and the American Academy of Ophthalmology say blindness is often preventable with regular exams

If you’re like most Americans surveyed in a recent Harris Poll, you probably thought you would notice a change in your vision if you had an eye disease. The fact is some of the leading causes of blindness—such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy—can begin without any symptoms. That’s why Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan and the American Academy of Ophthalmology urge all healthy adults to get an eye exam at age 40, even if their vision seems fine. Early signs of disease and changes in vision may start to happen at this age.

“Even if you think you have 20/20 vision, set up a time to get your eyes checked. It may save your sight,” said Dianna Seldomridge, M.D., clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Here is the message of our lead consultant Professor Zia Ul Mazhry

There is a saying"Eyes are the windows to the soul".Healthy Vision is one of the best blessings of Almighty Allah at any given age. To protect your vision by quitting smoking, eating healthy foods, and having a regular comprehensive eye examination.

ایک کہاوت ہے "آنکھیں روح کی کھڑکیاں ہیں" ۔ درست بینائی کسی بھی عمر میں اللہ تعالٰی کی دی ہوئی بہترین نعمت ہے۔ لہذا تمباکو نوشی چھوڑ کر ، صحت مند غذائیں کھا کر اور آنکھوں کا باقاعدگی سے معائنہ کر وا کر اپنی نظر کی حفاظت کریں۔

5 Steps to Lower Your Risk of Eye Disease

• Know your family history

Certain eye diseases can be inherited. If you have a close relative with macular degeneration, you have a 50 per cent chance of developing this condition. A family history of glaucoma increases your glaucoma risk by four to nine times. Talk to family members about their eye conditions. It can help you and your ophthalmologist evaluate your risk.

آنکھوں کی بعض بیماریاں وراثت میں مل سکتی ہیں۔ اگر آپ کسی میکولر انحطاط کے مریض کے ساتھ قریبی رشتہ ہے تو ، آپ میں بھی اس بیماری کے پیدا ہونے کا 50 فیصد امکان ہے۔ اگر آپ کے خاندان میں کسی کو گلوکوما ہے تو آپ کی آنکھوں میں گلوکوما کے خطرے کو چار سے نو گنا بڑھاتا ہے۔ کنبہ کے افراد سے ان کی آنکھوں کے حالات کے بارے میں بات کریں۔ اس سے آپ اور آپ کے امراض چشم کو آپ کی آنکھوں میں ہونے والی بیماری کےخطرے کا اندازہ کرنے میں مدد مل سکتی ہے۔

• Eat healthy foods

A diet low in fat and rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, benefits the entire body, including the eyes. Eye-healthy food choices include citrus fruits, vegetable oils, nuts, whole grains, dark green leafy vegetables, and cold-water fish.

چربی کی کم مقدار اور پھل ، سبزیاں ، اور سالم گندم سے بھرپور غذا ، آنکھوں سمیت پورے جسم کو فائدہ پہنچاتی ہے۔ آنکھوں سےمتعلق صحت مند کھانے کے انتخاب میں کھٹ مٹھے رسیلے پھل ، سبزیوں کا تیل ، گری دار میوے ، سالم گندم ، گہری سبز پتی دار سبزیاں ، اور ٹھنڈے پانی کی مچھلیاں شامل ہیں۔

• Stop smoking

Smoking increases the risk for eye diseases such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Smoking also raises the risk for cardiovascular diseases which can indirectly influence your eye health. Tobacco smoke, including second-hand smoke, also worsens dry eyes.

تمباکو نوشی سے آنکھوں کی بیماریوں جیسے سفید موتیا اور عمر سے وابستہ میکولر انحطاط کا خطرہ بڑھ جاتا ہے۔ تمباکو نوشی سے دل کی بیماریوں کا خطرہ بھی بڑھ جاتا ہے جو آپ کی آنکھوں کی صحت کو بالواسطہ اثر انداز کر سکتا ہے۔ تمباکو کا دھواں ، آنکھوں کو بھی خشک کردیتا ہے۔

• Wear sunglasses

Exposure to ultraviolet UV light raises the risk of eye diseases, including cataracts, fleshy growths on the eye, and cancer. Always wear a hat and sunglasses with 100 per cent UV protection while outdoors.

“An eye exam doesn’t just check how well you can see, it evaluates the overall health of your eyes,” said Rebecca J. Taylor, M.D., clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “The Academy encourages everyone, particularly if you’re over age 40, to get regular eye care. By making the vision a priority, we can help protect our sight as we age.”

Sports Eye Safety Awareness Month

Sports Eye Safety Awareness Month

Ophthalmologists Urge Eye Protection for Recreational and Professional Sports

New research shows that about 30,000 people in the U.S. go to emergency departments each year with sports-related eye injuries, a substantially higher estimate than previously reported. This April during Sports Eye Safety Month, Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan and the American Academy of Ophthalmology remind the public that the right protective eyewear is the best defence against eye injury.

Three sports accounted for almost half of all trips to the emergency room: basketball, baseball, and air/paintball guns. Sports-related injuries can range from corneal abrasions and bruises on the lids to more serious, vision-threatening internal injuries, such as retinal detachment and internal bleeding.

Ophthalmologists — physicians who specialize in medical and surgical eye care — continue to remind the public that most sports-related eye injuries are avoidable.

Here are some tips for both the professional athlete and the little league star to stay safe:

Tips to stay safe

Wear the right eye protection

For basketball, racquet sports, soccer and field hockey, wear protection with shatterproof polycarbonate lenses.

Wear the right eye protection

Put your helmet on

For baseball, ice hockey and lacrosse, wear a helmet with a polycarbonate face mask or wire shield.

Know the standards

Choose eye protection that meets the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. See the Academy’s protective eyewear article for more details.

Throw out old gear

Eye protection should be replaced when damaged or yellowed with age. Wear and tear may cause them to become weak and lose effectiveness.

Glasses won’t cut it

Regular prescription glasses may shatter when hit by flying objects. If you wear glasses, try sports goggles on top to protect your eyes and your frames.

did you know?

“I’ve treated many patients with eye trauma because of an unintentional blow to the face,” said Rahul N. Khurana, M.D., clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “Athletes often engage in these seemingly safe, yet rugged, high-impact sports with zero awareness about the potential risk factors. This is why eye protection is critical and can greatly reduce the number of emergency room visits treated each year.”

Here is the message from our lead consultant Professor Dr Zia Ul Mazhry,

" Protection of your eyes from eye injury is your own hands mostly. The most important thing you can do to protect your vision at work is to always wear appropriate protective eyewear, which can prevent more than 90 per cent of serious eye injuries."

آنکھوں کی چوٹ سے آپ کی آنکھوں کا تحفظ زیادہ تر آپ کے اپنے ہاتھ میں ہے۔ کام کے دوران اپنی نظر کی حفاظت کے لئے سب سے اہم چیز یہ ہے کہ آپ ہمیشہ مناسب حفاظتی چشمہ پہنیں ، جو آنکھوں کی 90 فیصد سے زیادہ چوٹوں کو روک سکتا ہے۔
