Glaucoma Treatment in Kolkata: Check These FAQs On Diet and Glaucoma

In general, it is important to have a varied and healthy diet for maintaining good eye health.  But those who are at the risk of developing glaucoma must include certain foods in their diet. It has been found that leafy green vegetable intake helps in reducing risk of developing glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. Those who are diagnosed with the disease can ease symptoms and slow progression by eating the right diet. 

In this blog, our experienced doctors answer some of the most frequently asked questions on diet and glaucoma: 

Question 1: Does your diet affect glaucoma?

Certain fruits and vegetables that have higher vitamin A and C can help either reduce glaucoma risk or reduce glaucoma related damage. Antioxidants present in certain fruits and vegetables reduce the oxidative stress that is associated with damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma. 

Question 2: What to eat when you have glaucoma?

1. Brightly colored fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables brightly colored ones like sweet potatoes, spinach, melons, bell peppers, and berries are good sources of vitamins A, C, and antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin. They together protect against oxidative stress, which is linked to the optic nerve.

2. Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables:  Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, collards, and lettuce and cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower and brussels sprouts are good sources of vitamin A and C which help in improving the blood flow and regulating pressure inside the eye. 

3. Low-fat dairy products: Dairy foods such as milk and cheese are good for eye health. However, glaucoma patients should go for low-fat versions. 

Question 3: What foods should glaucoma patients avoid?

Those who have glaucoma should avoid having food items that are loaded with trans fatty acids which are linked with high cholesterol levels. High blood pressure means more damage to blood vessels in the body. This damage can occur in the eyes and can further damage the optic nerve. Any damage to this optic nerve is irreversible and therefore, glaucoma patients should avoid eating following items 

1. Food items laden with sugar such as cookies, cakes and donuts 

2. Fried items 

Question 4: Is caffeine bad for you if you have glaucoma?

Caffeine increases the eye pressure. While consuming a cup (or even two) of coffee every day is still fine, glaucoma patients should avoid drinking copious amounts of coffee. 

Question 5: Can drinking water lower eye pressure?

Staying hydrated is good for not just eye health but overall health. But when it comes to glaucoma, patients should not chug a lot of water at one go. They should sip water throughout the day as having too much  at one go can lead to elevated eye pressure.

Glaucoma cannot be cured. The lost vision caused due to it cannot be restored. As damage to the optic nerve cannot be reversed, the aim of the glaucoma treatment is to reduce further damage to the optic nerve. If detected early, a combination of laser treatment, eye drops and medication can be used to treat it.

What should glaucoma patients avoid?

Glaucoma is a group of progressive optic neuropathies that damage the eye’s optic nerve which can result in vision loss and blindness. Visual problems are often a late symptom of glaucoma when the disease is already very advanced. However, with early detection and treatment, you can protect your eyesight from deteriorating. Glaucoma can occur in any population, however, those most at risk include people who 

  • are aged 40 and above
  • have diabetes 
  • have a family history of glaucoma 
  • have eye injuries

Here is a useful read on the risk factors for glaucoma.

Treating patients with glaucoma – glaucoma treatment in Kolkata 

The damage caused by glaucoma is irreversible but with regular eye exams and the right treatment, you can reduce the risk of glaucoma worsening at a rapid rate over time. Once detected, there are different types of treatment options for glaucoma patients. In addition to prescription eye drops, medication, laser treatment and surgery, there are several lifestyle factors that can help you manage the symptoms.

What should glaucoma patients avoid? 

1. Avoid activities that increase eye pressure:

It is recommended for patients with glaucoma to have an active lifestyle. However exercises such as bungee jumping or inverted yoga poses that put the head below the heart may cause an increase in the intraocular pressure- hence they should be avoided. You can do brisk walking and regular exercise at a moderate pace – as they can lower eye pressure. If you lift heavy weights, ask a qualified trainer to show you how to breathe properly during the exercise. 

Note: A study found that when glaucoma patients performed head-down yoga poses, the IOP rose within one minute of doing each pose.

2. Avoid unhealthy foods:

The following food items can raise intraocular pressure and can damage the optic nerve – hence, it is important for you to reduce their consumption: 

  • Trans-fats raise your “bad” cholesterol and also lower your “good” cholesterol. A diet laden with trans fats can damage blood vessels which can harm the optic nerve. Avoid food items high in trans-fats such as cakes, cookies, biscuits, rolls, french fries, and fried chicken. 
  • Saturated fats such as butter, cheese, coconut oil, biscuits, sausages, bacon, and fatty cuts of meat cause the Body Mass Index (BMI) to increase. A high BMI is associated with high intraocular. 

Note: Instead of food items high on trans-fats and saturated fats, choose foods rich in complex carbohydrates such as oats, legumes, brown rice, whole grain pasta, broccoli, leafy greens, apples and berries. They take longer to digest and cause the blood sugar levels to rise slowly which is important because fluctuations in blood sugar levels in those with glaucoma can cause IOP to increase. 

3. Avoid sleeping with your eye against the pillow

If you are suffering from glaucoma, sleep in the right position. Do not sleep in a position where your eyes are against the pillow or your arms.

Guide To Recovery after LASIK surgery

LASIK eye surgery is one of the most common eye surgeries that help people suffering from refractive errors such as nearsightedness and farsightedness reduce dependence on eyeglasses or contact lenses. Many patients experience improved vision immediately after the surgery. There are no bandages or stitches required after LASIK surgery. It is a minimally-invasive surgery with no pain or scars. Post-surgery you may feel mild discomfort, that too for the first few hours. If you are planning to undergo LASIK eye surgery and wondering what is the recovery period and what precautions must be taken, you will find this post useful.  

glaucoma treatment

What happens during the LASIK surgery?

LASIK surgery is performed under local anaesthesia. The eye surgeon reshapes the cornea to improve your vision. During surgery, the cornea flap is painlessly removed and the corneal tissue is reshaped. The flap is again placed back in place. At the end of the surgery, an eye shield is placed on the operated eye to protect it. The surgery is performed under 20 minutes for each eye but preoperative and post-operative procedures may take a few hours. 

 

Recovery time 

 

The recovery time after LASIK eye surgery usually takes 6 weeks to 9 months. It varies from one patient to another. Your eye surgeon will closely monitor your progress at your follow-up appointments. For many patients, resuming normal activities is not an issue. However, there are a few things that need to be kept in mind: 

 

  • Getting back in the driver’s seat: Though an outpatient procedure, you cannot drive on the day of surgery. You will have to arrange for someone to drive you home. After the surgery, you will be asked to come for follow-up appointments. Till then, you should not drive at all. Once your doctor gives you a go-ahead, you can drive. It is, however, recommended, that at least in the first few days, you should stick to driving short distances. Be careful while driving at night. 

 

  • Avoid screen time: You should completely avoid smartphones, computers, e-readers, TV and other screens at least 24 hours after surgery. At home, you should avoid sitting in rooms with bright lights. As part of the standard aftercare routine, you should take two days off from work. . You should also avoid reading a book as it would strain your eyes. The more you are away from digital screens, the quicker and smoother your recovery will go. Before you start using electronic devices again, it’s recommended that you gradually ease back into using them. Exposure to digital screens can cause the eyes to dry so, keep lubricating the eyes with eye drops prescribed by your doctor. 

 

  • Skip swimming for a few days: It is generally recommended swimming is safe after 3-4 weeks of LASIK eye surgery. Bacteria present in water can cause allergies. Even after 3 to 4 weeks, wear protective swimming goggles to protect the eyes. As your eyes are more prone to irritation and allergies for a few weeks after the LASIK surgery, it is, therefore, advisable to avoid swimming, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and hotbed as they are sources of infection. 

 

  • Refrain from strenuous exercise: LASIK eye surgery is beneficial for sports persons and athletes, as it helps them to see better. But when you are recovering from LASIK eye surgery, your eyes are a  little more sensitive than usual. It is, therefore, necessary to avoid strenuous exercises and contact sports. Refrain from exercising and playing a sport for a while. Getting sweat under the lenses of the eyes can result in complications that prolong the recovery time. At least for a week, you should not engage in strenuous exercise or sport. If you wish to return to strenuous activities, take your eye surgeon’s permission. 

 

  • Be careful with travelling: LASIK eye surgery might impact your travel plans. For the day of the treatment, it’s advised not to travel. When going back home from the eye hospital, make sure you avoid crowded public transport. It’s best to postpone your long travel plans that may entail long flying hours. Following your follow-up appointment and your doctor tells you that you are suitable to fly. As the airplane cabin is very dry, lubricating your eyes with eye drops can help keep your eyes moist and comfortable. 

 

  • No eye makeup  for the first week: It’s important not to wear any makeup for the first 24 hours. This includes concealer and foundation and eye makeup such as eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara. If face makeup gets into the eyes, they increase the risk of infection or complication. You can use face makeup after your follow-up appointment with the eye doctor. Even if the eye doctor says you can use face makeup, make sure that it does not get very close to your eye.

 

  • Alcohol and surgery do not go well together: Avoid drinking  alcohol the day before the surgery  and for 24 hours afterwards. Drinking alcohol can make you feel dehydrated, which may add to complications.  Avoid alcohol for the first few days after the surgery. If your eye doctor gives you a go-ahead to drink, limit consumption to one or two drinks maximum. But remember to stay hydrated to avoid the dehydrating effect of alcohol. 

 

Precautions for the first 24 hours 

  • For the first few hours, your vision can be a little foggy or blurry. Keep your eyes closed and well-rested during this time.
  • Avoid activities that are strenuous. 
  • To prevent eye strain, avoid all screens. Anything that requires intensive use of your eyes should be avoided. 
  • It’s advised to take a bath instead of a shower. Prevent soap and water from entering your eyes.
  • Stick to your eye drop routine. 
  • Avoid rubbing your eyes and get relief using the lubricant drops instead.
  • Avoid alcohol.

 

The day after surgery 

  • The day after your treatment, visit the eye hospital for a follow-up appointment. Your eye surgeon will check everything is going smoothly. He or she will tell you whether you can resume day-to-day activities.
  • Do not drive to the eye hospital. Arrange someone to take you to the hospital. You can take a taxi but avoid taking crowded public transport.  
  • Watch TV if the eye doctor allows you to. Use the lubricating eye drops provided to prevent dry eyes. If you are planning to step out, wear the proper eyewear. 
  • You can take a shower but avoid soap from entering the eyes. 

 

Day 3 

  • By now, your eye has regained much of its strength. You can engage in light exercises such as walking, jogging and stationary cycling. 
  • While exercising, make sure that the sweat doesn’t get into your  eyes. Also, avoid rubbing or touching the eyes.
  • If your eye doctor has cleared you for driving, take extra care especially when driving at night. Your doctor may prescribe temporary glasses for the first few months as the vision settles down.

 

Week 2

  • Now, you can engage in sports such as swimming, tennis, squash and biking. It is advisable to wear appropriate eyewear.
  • Avoid high-impact sports where your eyes are at the risk of getting hurt. 
  • You can wear eye makeup. Make sure that you don’t share makeup with somebody else. 
  • If you are unsure about certain activities, ask your eye doctor. 

 

After 3 months 

  • If you are experiencing dry eye symptoms, tell your eye doctor so that you can manage them with eye drops. 
  • Keep all the follow-up appointments with your eye doctor. 

 

Some problems that you may face after LASIK surgery : 

 

  • Dry eyes: Of all the temporary effects of LASIK, dry eye is the most common. This is one of the reasons most patients are prescribed lubricating eye drops. If you experience dry eye symptoms,  inform your eye doctor. To manage your dry eyes symptoms, avoid sitting in an air-conditioned room or using a screen for prolonged periods of time. 

 

  • Light sensitivity: Many patients experience light sensitivity and this normally reduces within one or two days. Avoid harsh lighting. Wear sunglasses if you are planning to step out. 

 

  • Blurred vision: You may experience blurred vision after the procedure, but this goes away as your vision gets stable. 

 

  • Halos and starbursts: You may see  halos and starbursts especially in low-light conditions and at night. If you are driving at night, be careful about halos and starbursts around lights. These halos and starbursts disappear over the first few weeks.

Ocular Melanoma: 10 Important Things to Know

Cancer can develop in any part of the body, including the eyes. Among several types of eye cancers, Ocular Melanoma is one of the most serious ones. Ocular Melanoma occurs when cancer develops in the melanin, the cells that produce pigment in the iris.

Here are a few of the important things to know about Ocular Melanoma:

1) Ocular Melanoma is common in adults

Your risk of Ocular Melanoma increases as you age. If you fall under the age group of 50 and above, it’s important to visit an eye doctor every year. Our team of eye specialists at Disha Eye Hospitals, one of the top eye hospitals in Kolkata, use advanced medical tools and technology for precise diagnosis and treatment. Book an appointment online at http://www.dishaeye.org/organic/.

Also, another important reason to visit an eye doctor every year is Ocular Melanoma causes little or no symptoms during the early stages, and, therefore, usually goes undetected until it worsens.

Ocular melanoma 10 important things to know

2) Look out for a dark spot in the eyes

As Ocular Melanoma develops and starts progressing, it can cause a dark spot to develop in the iris or the conjunctiva, the front white part of the eyes. If the development of a dark spot is accompanied by a change in the shape of the pupils, it could be an indication of eye cancer. Make sure not to neglect the symptoms and instead consult with an eye doctor.

3) Prolonged exposure to sunlight increases Ocular Melanoma risk

While you may enjoy basking in the sun, you are putting yourself at the risk of Ocular Melanoma. This is because prolonged exposure to UV (ultraviolet) rays increases the risk of eye cancer.  Take proper safety precaution by wearing a pair of sunglasses when spending time outdoors. Choose a pair of sunglasses that has UVA and UVB protection.

4) A major risk factor of Glaucoma

As Ocular Melanoma progresses, it can increase the risk of a vision-threatening eye complication called Glaucoma. The eye complication occurs when the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) increases.

If the progression of Ocular Melanoma leads to the onset of Glaucoma, you may experience several symptoms such as persisting eye pain, blurriness in vision, and seeing halos around the light.

5) Ocular Melanoma can spread to other parts of the body

One of the main reasons why Ocular Melanoma is a highly serious eye complication is the fact that the eye cancer can spread to other parts of the body, including the skin, bones, lungs, and liver. When any type of cancer spreads to other parts of the body, the process is called metastasis.

6) Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome increases your Ocular Melanoma risk

If you have Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome, you stand at an increased risk of Ocular Melanoma. Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome is an inherited skin disorder that causes abnormal moles. The skin disorder also increases the risk of Melanoma of the skin.

7) Radiation is one of the most common treatment options

Although Ocular Melanoma is a serious form of eye cancer, it can be successfully treated.  Radiation is one of the commonly-preferred treatment options; it involves deteriorating the cancerous tumour by exposing it to radioactive particles. This treatment can take 4 to 5 days.

8) Laser treatment is another effective option

Another way to successfully treat Ocular Melanoma is by using laser treatment.  Eye specialists choose this treatment option if the cancerous tumour in your eye is small. The treatment involves using a precisely-targeted infrared light to kill the tumour. Eye doctor adjusts the intensity of the infrared light in such a way that it can kill the cancer cells without causing damage to other parts of the affected eye.

9) Exercise regularly to reduce your risk of Ocular Melanoma

Physical inactivity is one of the general risk factors of cancer. Exercising regularly is a good way to reduce your risk of Ocular Melanoma. Depending on your age, you may choose low to moderate-intensity exercises such as jogging, running, swimming, and brisk walking.

If you are suffering from another health complication, make sure to consult with your eye doctor and plan your exercise regime accordingly.

10) Maintain a healthy and balanced diet

Although eating regime and Ocular Melanoma may not have a direct correlation, keeping your eyes healthy by eating a nutritious diet is a good way to reduce your risk of eye cancer.

Common Eye Injuries at Home, Prevention, And Treatment

From a general perspective, a home is fairly a safe place. But this is not entirely true when it comes to eye injuries as you stand at an equal risk of injuring your eyes as when you’re spending time outdoors.

Eye injuries are medical emergencies and need to be addressed with proper medical care. If you have suffered a physical eye injury, it’s crucial to visit an eye doctor as promptly as you can. To get the right treatment for your eyes, visit Disha Eye Hospitals, a well-known eye hospital in West Bengal. Book an appointment online at http://www.dishaeye.org/organic/.

Common Eye Injuries at Home, Prevention, And Treatment

Here are a few of the common types of physical eye injuries that occur at home:

1) Eye trauma:-

Trauma is one of the common types of household-related eye injuries.  It is also one of the most serious types of physical eye injuries. Falls are a common reason for eye trauma at homes. Improperly arranged rugs, carpets, tangled up electrical cords, and slippery floors are a few of the common causes of falls.

Physical activity and dexterity toys such as guns, powerful ball shooters, frisbees, and juggling clubs account for a significant number of eye injury cases.

2) Cuts:–

Common household objects may seem safe, but with improper use, they increase the risk of serious cuts on the eyes. It’s important to use these common household objects with precaution to avoid eye injuries: knives, scissors, stationery, toys with sharp edges, multi-function tools, nail cutters, keys, and bottle openers.

3) Chemical burns:-  

Chemical burns are a serious form of eye injuries. You stand at the risk of chemical burns in the eyes when using  certain chemical solutions such as cleaning liquids, pesticides, and detergents when doing household chores.

To ensure proper safety, make sure to keep these chemical solutions away from the eyes. Also, when using such chemical solutions, avoid working too quickly as doing so increases the risk of spills and splatters.

Preventing eye injuries at home

Eye injuries are preventable accidents. At home, taking certain precautions goes a long way in minimising the risk of accidental eye injuries. Here are a few of the necessary precautions to take:

1) Wear safety eyeglasses:-

Taking eye safety precautions as simple as wearing a pair of protective eyeglasses helps you significantly reduce the risk of accidental eye injuries. Make it a rule in your home for everybody to wear protective eyeglasses when playing outdoor sports, doing gardening work, and spending time in the garage/workshop.

2) Install handrails on staircases

Staircases are undoubtedly one of the biggest risk areas for falls in your home.  One simple way to improve safety in staircases is to install sturdy and non-slipping handrails. Wooden handrails are a good option as they allow a firm grip. Also, make sure to install proper lighting in staircases to reduce the risk of falls.

3) Keep your power and hand tools in good condition

Damaged/faulty power and hand tools not only slow you down in completing your chores but can also cause eye injuries. Make sure to keep all your utility tools in good condition. In case you have faulty tools, either repair them or replace them with new ones.

4) Get rid of toys that have jagged edges

Although toys are your kids’ best companion, they can cause serious eye injuries. Avoid buying toys that have sharp edges. It helps to be mindful about buying toys for your kids as per the age manufacturers’ recommendations.

Eye injury treatment

There are certain do’s and don’ts to follow after you’ve met an accidental eye injury. Follow these safety and treatment tips to properly address different types of eye injuries:

1) Avoid rubbing the eyes

Whether you have suffered a chemical burn, a trauma, or a cut to the eyes, make sure not to rub the eyes, even if you have the urge to. In the case of chemical burns, rubbing the eyes can cause the chemical to go deep into the eyes. Rubbing the eyes can also make cuts and trauma worse.

2) Rinse with water

If you have suffered a chemical burn in your eyes, rinse the affected eye with water to flush the chemical out. Rinsing with water is a good option if a small foreign particle gets stuck in your eyes.

Seek medical help if you’ve suffered from an eye injury

An eye doctor is the best person to address the right treatment for your eye injury. Make sure not to avoid eye injuries as they can lead to complications such as vision blurriness and eye infection.

Why You Should Go for Routine Eye Check Ups?

 

Why you should go for routine eye check ups?
Getting an annual eye exam is a crucial part of ensuring good eye health for yourself and your loved ones. The benefits of regular eye checkups go beyond preventing eye-related complication as it also helps in diagnosis underlying health conditions at early stages. This way, you can start early treatments and lower the risks of complications.

Consult best eye specialists in Kolkata

Book an appointment at Disha Eye Hospital to get a comprehensive eye exam from one of the best eye specialists in Kolkata. Visit http://www.dishaeye.org/appointment to book your appointment online.

Here are some of the important reasons for getting regular eye checkups:

1) Diagnosis of diabetes:

Blurry vision is usually one of the first warning signs of high blood sugar levels. When your body doesn’t produce enough insulin that helps break down sugar in the body, the blood vessels swell up. This swelling can cause the fluid to leak into the lens of your eye, making it difficult for eyes to focus. An early comprehensive eye exam conducted can not only lead to early detection of diabetes, but the eye doctor diabetes specialist can help you manage diabetes better.

2) Diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy:-

Diabetic retinopathy, as its name implies, is one of the complications of diabetes. As discussed above, diabetes causes damage to the blood vessels in the eyes, causing them to leak and swell. This can also cause the eyes to grow new, weak blood vessels which leak blood in the vitreous gel of the eye and lead to vision blurriness. The bleeding can form scars over time and detach the retina from the eye.

The only way to detect the presence of diabetic retinopathy during early stages is through a comprehensive eye exam. This is because the eye disease does not cause any symptom during the initial stages. The eye doctor may conduct various eye tests, including a dilated eye exam (for a detailed examination of the eyes), and optical coherence tomography (to examine retina) to confirm the presence of the eye complication.

3) Keep your children’s eyes healthy:-

There’s no doubt that good vision helps your children learn better at school. However, children these days spend longer time using phones, tablets, and laptops which can take a toll on their vision.

The best way to ensure your children have a good vision is by taking them to annual eye checkups. The eye doctor can diagnose if your children have a refractive error and can suggest treatments and visual aids such as eyeglasses and contact lens accordingly.

4) Diagnosis of glaucoma:-

Glaucoma, apart from being one of the leading causes of vision loss, is also one of the most common eye complications. Glaucoma occurs when the passages in the eyes clog and prevent eye fluids from draining. As a result, the eye fluids accumulate and increase intraocular pressure in the eyes. This. in turn, causes damage to the retina and optic nerve, and leads to vision impairment.

By visiting an eye doctor every year, you can get the eye complication detected at early stages. As such, you can start early treatment to lower the risks of complications. To detect the presence of glaucoma, an eye doctor may perform several eye tests, including tonometry (for measuring pressure in the eyes), ophthalmoscopy (to examine the topic nerve), and perimetry (to examine the field of vision).

5) Diagnosis of cataracts:-

Common in older adults, cataracts is one of the most serious eye complications and leads to permanent vision loss. The eye complication occurs when protein builds up in the lens of the eyes and start forming clumps. As such, the protein build-up clouds the lens and obstruct light from fully entering into the retina.

Apart from older age, diabetes, family history of the eye disease, and physical injury to the eyes can also increase the risk of cataracts. During your annual eye exam, your eye doctor can detect early cataract symptoms such as abnormal changes in the lens area, nearsightedness, double vision, and sensitivity to glare. To confirm the presence of the eye disease, your eye doctor may conduct the three important tests, including visual acuity test, retinal exam, and slit-lamp exam.
