Estrabismo

Stravism is a visual problem that makes the eyes are not properly aligned and point in different directions. An eye can look forward, while the other turns in, outward, up or down. The turn of the eye can be consistent or can come and go. The correct alignment can exchange or alternate from one eye to the other.

Strabismus is presented in 4% of the children of Mexico.

The condition can be developed in the future. It may be present in families, however, many people with strabismus do not have relatives with this condition.

To better understand this condition, it must be understood that six different muscles surround each eye and work & ldquo; as a team “ This allows both eyes to focus on the same object.

In someone with strabismus, these muscles do not work together. Consequently, one eye looks at an object, while the other eye flips into a different direction and looks at another object.

When that happens, two different images are sent to the brain: one from each eye. This confuses the brain. In children, the brain can learn to ignore (delete) image from the weakest eye.

If strabismus is not treated, the eye that the brain ignores will never see well. This loss of vision is called amblyopia; It also receives the name of & ldquo; Lazy Eye “ Sometimes, the lazy eye is first presented and causes strabismus.

In most children with strabismus, the cause is unknown. In more than half of these cases, the problem is present at birth or shortly after. This is called congenital stroper.

What is the cataract?

A cataract is an opacity of the lens (crystalline) of the eye, which is normally clear and transparent;It can be compared to a window that frosts with ice or ldquo; empaña “with steam.

What is an intraocular lens?

An intraocular lens is an implant type of biocompatible material (acrylic or silicone), which can replace the natural lens of the optical system: the crystalline or complement its diopter power.

What type of lenses exist?

At present, there are different types of intraocular lenses, which can be classified:

According to the place of the implant: can be an earlier camera, Sulcus and rear camera.

As replaced or not to the lens can be:

Pseudophakical lenses, those who replace the lens when implanted in the capsular bag.

Fachic lenses, those who complement the dioptric power of the crystalline, when implanted anterior or posterior boot of the eye.

According to its optical characteristics: can be monofocal, which correct remote refractive defect, demeaning the patient frame lenses to correct the presbyopia; multifocal, which correct refractive defects from distant and close remote, without needing the patient frame lenses in the postoperative period in most cases; Tonic, corrects the refractive defect of astigmatism, can be monofocal or multifocal.

as simulated the function of the lens: can be accommodated, which simulate the fancy of the crystalline mechanically; o Pseudoacomodative, are those that simulate the function of the crystalline optically by their difpratory surfacesRefractive surfaces.

According to the type of material: can be rigid, employed in cataract extracapsular extraction surgery; Or folding, employees in Facoemulsification Surgery.

Pterigion

Pterigression is an abnormal growth of the subconjunctival connective tissue, it can also be defined as a triangular fiberbase tissue sheet that invades the cornea. It is commonly called & ldquo; fleshyness “ Among the general public, since they observe it as a red layer that covers the white part (overwheller) and transparent (cornea) of the eye.

Pterigression can be presented in patients with a family history, as well as in people who live in warm climates and are constantly exposed to sunlight (people who work or live in coastal areas). Some factors that can influence the inflammation of it are: excessive exposure to allergens (solvents and industrial chemicals) as well as exposure to harsh environmental conditions (dust, heat, dryness and smoke), both conditions propitiated alteration of the lacrimal film, Generating a chronic inflammatory circle.

Clinically the patient may refer sensation of burning or foreign body, red or congestive eye, as well as a decrease in visual acuity if the pterygium compromises the visual axis.

The diagnosis is made through ophthalmological clinical evaluation, since there may be other alterations that resemble the pterygium; As for example, the pinguécula among others. The best way to make a differential diagnosis is through the evaluation by biomicroscopy, since details can be observed through the microscope that at the naked eye are not evident.

Treatment is surgical, and is indicated by cosmetic reasons (patient request) or when there is a commitment of the visual axis. The technique varies from an ophthalmologist surgeon to another, however, the technique that the highest success rate has described, is the cleavage of the pterygium with free conjunctiva or amniotic membrane, said surgery is ambulatory and a week a week to ten days of Rest according to the degree of recovery of each patient.

As a prevention for those who live or work in coastal areas or in warm climates, it is recommended to routinely use polarized sunglasses with UV protection, wing hats, as well as constant lubrication according to the recommendation of treatment doctor.

Diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a condition of the retina that occurs in patients with diabetes mellitus (both type 1 and type 2) after several years of suffering from the disease, and especially when the disease is not well controlled. The importance of diabetic retinopathy lies in that it is one of the main causes of irreversible blindness, and that can be prevented by taking appropriate precautions and applying treatment opportunely.

One of the problems with diabetic retinopathy is that when it is in its early stages, it does not cause any symptoms, and patients may realize that they have it already when it is in advanced phases. That is the reason why every diabetic patient should be subjected to an eye-bottom review by an ophthalmologist at least once each year, and if alterations are detected in the retina, more frequent revisions have to be made.
.
Diabetic retinopathy occurs because elevated levels of glucose (sugar) in blood gradually cause harm to the blood vessels of the retina, in such a way that after several years they are very affected, making the circulation in The retina is very deteriorated.

When the circulation of the retina is deteriorated, its cells suffer from lack of oxygen. This is a problem because the cells of the retina require a lot of oxygen to be able to perform their function properly, so when they lack oxygen, they start "complaining “ (Do not really complain, but produce a substance called VEGF). This substance causes blood vessels to increase their permeability; That is, these blood vessels begin to escape substances that normal vessels should not let out, which produces accumulation of fluid in the retina (something known as macular edema), which can cause the patient to leave the vision.
.
If this situation continues for a long time, the retina continues to suffer from the lack of oxygen, and follows & ldquo; complaining “, in such a way that they begin to produce new blood vessels whose intention is good: bring more oxygen to the retina than You need it.

however, these new blood vessels are defective and these are those who cause the serious complications of diabetic retinopathy: they can break and cause hemorrhage in vitreous humor, or they can form membranes strongly adhered to the retina, which over time They contract and cause detachments of the retina, and eventually blindness.

As already mentioned before, every diabetic patient must be explored by an ophthalmologist once a year, in order to look for data on diabetic retinopathy. If there are mild or moderate data of diabetic retinopathy, the eye bottom revisions should be made with greater frequency (every 4-6 months).

If macular edema is observed that causes low vision to the patient, it must be treated, either by applying laser, or the application of medications injected inside the eye, or the combination of both.

When new blood vessels are already observed (what is known as proliferative diabetic retinopathy), it is necessary to apply photocoagulation with laser to the entire retina (except the central region), to prevent complications of vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment.

If the patient has a vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment that threatens the central area of vision, the patient may need to be subjected to surgery called Vitrectomy.

If diabetic retinopathy is detected, and if necessary, it is about time, the patient has high possibilities to keep a useful vision for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that it exists in some people the wrong idea that in a patient who has diabetes mellitus type 2, which for a long time was controlled with oral medications, but now requires insulin, insulin is going to be blinded . This concept is totally erroneous, given that what is blinded by the patient are the years of being diabetic with very bad control. Insulin is precisely what is going to have blood glucose levels control, and therefore the advance of diabetic retinopathy is freed.
