When to Consult an Eye Specialist

Individuals go see an eye specialist only if they experience blurry vision, and that is unsafe. You need to consult an eye specialist if you start experiencing constant blurry vision, night blindness, headaches due to eye strain, dryness, watery eyes, and conjunctivitis. Sudden change in vision, eye pain, or sensitivity to light should never be ignored.

In children, squinting after reading, closeness to computers and televisions, or even rubbing the eyes repeatedly, could indicate loss of vision. Older people, particularly with diabetic retinopathy or hypertension, should see their eye specialists often for diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.

Types of Eye Care Professionals

Eye care in Pakistan is being conducted by various kinds of specialists. Ophthalmologists are physicians who can diagnose and treat disease, conduct surgery, and prescribe or fit spectacles. Optometrists are capable of performing tests of vision, prescribing spectacles for correction, and identifying defects of eyes but cannot perform any operation on them. Opticians can fit and supply glasses and lenses but do not participate in diagnosis and treatment.

Knowing whom to consult for your specific issue is important. For example, you’d see an ophthalmologist for cataracts or retinal disease, but an optometrist may handle a routine vision exam or prescription adjustment.

Common Eye Conditions Treated in Pakistan

Eye specialists in Pakistan encounter all kinds of eye problems every day. Refractive issues like short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism are the most prevalent ones. Eye strain due to excessive use of visual displays is prevalent among giant populations, most of whom live in urban centres.

Glaucoma and cataract are also very common in old people. Diabetic retinopathy is also a serious condition among diabetic patients that, if neglected at the right time, can lead to blindness. Conjunctivitis (red eye), corneal ulcers, macular degeneration, and allergies are also very common among kids and adults.

State-of-the-art Diagnostic Equipment Handled by Experts

The clinics now in Pakistan, particularly the large hospitals and private clinics, have advanced diagnostic equipment. Some of them are slit-lamp biomicroscopes to view the anterior segment of the eye, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to view the retina, fundus cameras to capture high-quality photos, and visual field analyzers.

They make precise diagnosis of eye disorders such as macular degeneration and glaucoma at an early stage and follow them regularly. In surgeries such as LASIK and cataract, high-tech equipment offers greater precision and better recovery rates.

Eye Care for Kids – Eye Care for Children

Children need their eyes to be checked at an earlier age, particularly in cases of eye disease in family history or for any problem with their vision. Pediatric ophthalmologists in Pakistan are also professionally well trained for dealing with amblyopia (lazy eye), squint (strabismus), birth cataract, and refractory problems. Any children's problem of vision, if detected at early stages, can be completely removed by treatment, glasses, or minor procedures. Follow-ups on regular intervals also avoid learning and development of your child being compromised by reason of uncorrected vision problems.

Geriatric Eye Care – An Increasing Need

With an increasing ratio of elderly people in Pakistan, geriatric eye care also becomes important. Older individuals have more chances of developing age-related ocular ailments such as presbyopia (problem of near vision), cataract, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. These require follow-up and sporadic surgery.

Geriatric-care-trained ophthalmologists have a knowledge of problems specific to older patients and perform as well as prescribe surgical and nonsurgical care. There are now hospitals that have geriatric clinics that take care of eye diseases with associated medical illness specifically for older adults.
