Applanation Tonometry

Applanation Tonometry is a widely used diagnostic procedure that measures intraocular pressure (IOP)—the fluid pressure inside the eye. Monitoring IOP is crucial for diagnosing and managing glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Accurate measurement of eye pressure helps detect abnormalities early and allows for timely intervention to prevent vision loss.

This procedure is based on the principle that the pressure within the eye can be determined by measuring the force required to flatten a specific area of the cornea. It is considered the gold standard for IOP measurement due to its precision and reliability.

Applications of Applanation Tonometry

Applanation Tonometry is essential for:

• Glaucoma Screening: Detecting elevated intraocular pressure, a major risk factor for glaucoma.
• Glaucoma Management: Monitoring IOP regularly to assess the effectiveness of treatments, such as medications, laser therapy, or surgery.
• Ocular Hypertension: Identifying elevated IOP in individuals who may be at risk of developing glaucoma.
• Post-Surgical Monitoring: Ensuring normal eye pressure following ocular surgeries.

Topography

Topography is an advanced diagnostic procedure that maps the surface of the cornea, providing detailed, three-dimensional images of its curvature. This is essential for diagnosing conditions like corneal irregularities, astigmatism, and vision problems related to the eye's shape. It is especially important for patients considering refractive surgeries such as LASIK, as it helps tailor the procedure to the unique shape of their cornea. The procedure works by analyzing light reflections from the corneal surface, creating an accurate map crucial for treatment planning.

Applications of Corneal Topography

Corneal topography is essential for:

• Diagnosing Corneal Disorders: Identifying conditions like keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, and astigmatism.
• Pre-Surgical Assessment: Evaluating the cornea’s shape before refractive surgeries like LASIK to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
• Monitoring Disease Progression: Tracking changes in corneal shape in patients with keratoconus or after eye surgery.
• Custom Contact Lens Fitting: Assisting in the fitting of custom contact lenses for patients with irregular corneas or vision issues.

The Corneal Topography Procedure at Desai Eye Hospital

At Desai Eye Hospital, corneal topography is performed with precision using the latest technology to ensure accurate and detailed measurements:

• Preparation: The eye is cleaned, and the patient is comfortably seated in front of the topographer machine.
• Mapping: The patient is asked to look at a target light while the topographer scans the cornea’s surface. This process is quick and non-invasive.
• Results and Diagnosis: The machine generates a detailed map of the cornea, which is analyzed by our expert ophthalmologists to provide insights into any irregularities or conditions.

Supra-Tarsal Injection

A Supra-Tarsal Injection is an advanced procedure used to deliver medication directly into the area above the tarsal plate of the eyelid, targeting specific eye conditions. This technique is commonly used to treat various ocular inflammatory conditions, including allergic conjunctivitis, uveitis, and other inflammatory diseases of the eye. Administering the medication directly to the site of inflammation, provides fast and effective relief, reducing symptoms and improving eye health.

Applications of Supra-Tarsal Injection

Supra-tarsal injection is commonly used for:

• Allergic Conjunctivitis: To reduce inflammation and allergic reactions in the eye.
• Uveitis: To manage inflammation of the uvea and prevent complications that could lead to vision loss.
• Ocular Inflammatory Conditions: Treating a variety of inflammatory diseases affecting the anterior or posterior segments of the eye.
• Post-Surgical Inflammation: Used to control inflammation after eye surgeries such as cataract surgery or corneal transplants.

The Supra-Tarsal Injection Procedure at Desai Eye Hospital

At Desai Eye Hospital, the Supra-Tarsal Injection procedure is performed with precision and patient comfort in mind:

1. Preparation: The area around the eye is cleaned, and a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
2. Injection: The ophthalmologist carefully injects the medication into the supra-tarsal space, just above the tarsal plate, using a fine needle. The injection is quick, with minimal discomfort.
3. Post-Procedure Care: After the injection, patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure in the eye, which typically resolves quickly. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor progress and ensure the medication is working effectively.

YAG Procedures

YAG (Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet) laser procedures are advanced, non-invasive treatments used to manage eye conditions like cataracts and glaucoma. These procedures effectively improve vision and alleviate symptoms by precisely targeting and treating specific areas of the eye with minimal discomfort. Common applications include capsulotomy for post-cataract surgery patients and trabeculoplasty for glaucoma management. YAG laser treatments offer rapid recovery, making them a reliable option for enhancing eye health and quality of life.

Applications of YAG Procedures

YAG laser procedures are essential for:

• Capsulotomy: Treating posterior capsule opacification (PCO) that may develop after cataract surgery.
• Glaucoma Treatment: Reducing eye pressure by improving the drainage of fluid in the eye, especially in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
• Peripheral Iridotomy: Creating a small hole in the iris to treat angle-closure glaucoma, allowing for proper fluid flow within the eye.
• Vitreolysis: Addressing floaters in the vitreous by breaking them up with the laser, improving vision in some patients.

The YAG Procedure at Desai Eye Hospital

At Desai Eye Hospital, YAG procedures are performed with precision and care to ensure the best results and patient comfort:

1. Preparation: The eye is numbed with topical anesthetic drops, ensuring comfort throughout the procedure.
2. Laser Application: Using a focused YAG laser, the ophthalmologist targets the specific area of the eye requiring treatment, whether it’s the posterior capsule, drainage angle, or iris.
3. Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is minimally invasive, and most patients experience little to no discomfort during the process.
4. Results and Follow-Up: The results are immediate, with many patients experiencing an improvement in symptoms or vision. Follow-up care is provided to monitor progress and ensure optimal outcomes.
