Consultation of the best doctors"},"content":{"rendered":"

Ophthalmology is a science that investigates and treats diseases of the eyeball, eyelids, lacrimal organs, conjunctiva and the surrounding fat and bone tissue (eye socket). To do this, ophthalmologists test visual acuity using special tables.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Specialist consultation<\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n

At the first consultation, the ophthalmologist will listen to the patient's complaints about vision, and then conduct an examination: he will check the visual acuity, intraocular pressure and eye fundus. If necessary, they will recommend further examinations and consultations with therapists, neurologists, endocrinologists, etc. Then he will prescribe treatment. <\/span><\/h4>\n

If the specialist identifies a disease or disorder, then in some cases he will select glasses for the patient, in other cases he will prescribe medication. In cases of trauma, glaucoma, cataracts, severe myopia or hyperopia, sometimes only surgery can help.<\/span><\/h4>\n

 Today, people experience high levels of visual stress in school and even earlier, which increases the prevalence of eye diseases. <\/span><\/h4>\n

To keep your eyes healthy, detect pathologies and prescribe timely treatment, you need to regularly check your eyesight once a year.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Common eye diseases:<\/b><\/h3>\n

Blepharitis<\/span><\/i> - is a condition in which the eyelids become inflamed. The eyelids become red, irritated and thickened. This is caused by infection or dermatitis (seborrheic eczema).<\/span><\/h4>\n

Contact dermatitis<\/span><\/i> is inflammation of the skin of the eyelid, causing itching. It occurs more often after using a new type of product (soap, cosmetics) due to an allergic reaction. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Thermal damage<\/span><\/i> - prolonged sun exposure due to exposure of the eyes to ultraviolet rays can cause thermal damage or burns to the eyes. If there is no improvement after 24 hours, a doctor should be consulted. <\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/span>Conjunctivitis<\/span><\/i> is an inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by infection. In conjunctivitis, the eyes itch, the eyelids stick together, and pus accumulates in the corners of the eyes. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Dry eyes<\/span><\/i> - redness and discomfort in the eyes. A very common condition in patients of different ages, associated with frequent exposure to televisions, computers and devices. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Barley<\/span><\/i> - acute inflammation of the sebum of the eye. The first sign of barley is a bumpy thickening of the eyelid. Barley is caused by the same bacteria that cause blepharitis. <\/span><\/h4>\n

In Swiss clinics, projection equipment is used instead of outdated visual acuity tables, and electronic phoroptera are replacing simple diopter glasses. Ophthalmologists scan the visual system with fixation of the smallest features and distortions with the help of a unique device.<\/span><\/h4>\n
