It can seem impossible to keep every part of your body covered and protected from the elements during winter. Just like your hands need gloves and snow boots to keep your feet toasty, there are things you can do to keep your eyes healthy during the winter as well.

Whether your child will attend school virtually or in person this year, we all have back-to-school shopping lists. Your list might include school supplies, new clothes, and even a haircut, but does it include an eye exam? Specialists at the vision eye centre believe it should.

We spend hours staring at screens, be it our laptops, smartphones, or tablets, to get things done at work, catch up on entertainment, or stay connected. It's a part of our daily lives in this digital age, but prolonged screen time does lead to a common problem: blurry vision.

The most common misunderstanding about eye examinations is that they’re only used to determine how strong corrective lenses need to be. However, there is much more to an eye exam than just checking your eyesight. When you visit an eye hospital to get your eyes checked by an expert, they’ll look at more than just the surface level of your vision.

The world of ophthalmology has seen a paradigm shift due to various technological developments that have fundamentally altered the field of vision correction. One such advancement is laser surgery for eyes, which has completely changed how we correct vision issues by employing different kinds of lasers to either completely replace or drastically minimise the need for glasses or contacts.

A cornea transplant also called corneal transplantation or keratoplasty is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced by a donated corneal tissue.

Keratoconus is an eye disease that causes the cornea - a smooth dome-shaped layer covering the eyeball - to become progressively thin, distorting and protruding into the shape of a cone.

Strabismus, also known as squint, is a condition where both your eyes do not look together in the same direction. So, if one of your eyes looks straight ahead, the other turns to point inwards, outwards, upwards or downwards.

One of the most common eye problems is cataracts. This condition occurs when the natural eye lens becomes cloudy, making vision blurry. Conventional cataract surgery involving phacoemulsification has been around for a considerable time now and provides extremely good visual outcomes and patient satisfaction. But technology is always evolving and innovation helps find ways to improve further upon what already exists.
