Each of your eyes has a small blind spot in the back of the retina where the optic nerve attaches. You don’t notice the hole in your vision because your eyes work together to fill in each other’s blind spot.

As per a study out of #China, single-field non-mydriatic funds photography is inadequate to detect diabetic retinopathy. bit.ly/2YnCeAr #Diabetes #Diabetic #Retinopathy #Retina #FundusCamera #Screening

Have you ever wondered just how multifocal contact lenses work? To explain this scientific feat, let’s begin by discussing multifocal glasses.

Treatment for such an anomaly involves surgical removal of the mass. This occurs in conjunction with preventing recurrences by inhibiting collagen synthesis and fibroblast proliferation.

Corneal keloids can appear at any age, and vary in sizes. They may present as a single nodule, or go so far as to cover the entire stroma.

A "Corneal Keloid” is an extremely rare term; less than 100 cases have been documented since its first appearance in 1865! The term describes a epi-corneal lesion made up of fibrous tissue, collagen fibrils and glycoprotein.

These patients will obviously require frequent and regular visits to the eye clinic for close monitoring. bit.ly/2PR8Tvj #DME #Diabetes #Retinopathy #Treatment

A study indicates patients with diabetic macular edema with good vision need not have treatment initiated at diagnosis. Treatment can be given only if their vision starts to show signs of decline. bit.ly/2PR8Tvj #DME #Diabetes #Retinopathy #Treatment
