Toric lens implants for patients with corneal astigmatism

Astigmatism is a condition when the cornea, the front part of the eye, is like a rugby ball rather than a sphere. Toric lenses can correct astigmatism in the prescription. When a patient has a significant degree of astigmatism, a toric lens would be beneficial to help spectacle independence after surgery. Toric lenses are recommended for patients with corneal astigmatism to improve the quality of vision after surgery. Mr Ellabban offers toric lenses for all patients having corneal astigmatism.

Catarat surgery and types of lens replacement

Cataracts are a very common eye condition causing the lens of the eye to become cloudy. If left untreated, it can lead to blindness. In his latest video interview, renowned ophthalmologist Mr Abdallah Ellabban offers his expert insight into this condition. 0:00 What is a cataract? 1:20 How does a cataract form? 2:38 What are the risk factors for catarct development? 3:21 How is a cataract treated? 5:22 What are the types of replacement lenses? 7:55 When should I start to consider cataract surgery? 8:42 What is the success rate of cataract surgery? 9:37 When can I drive after cataract surgery?

Ozurdex Implant Intravitreal Eye injection for Treatment of Retinal Oedema and Inflammation

Ozurdex is a tiny implant that slowly releases corticosteroid medication. It is injected directly into the back of the eye with minimal systemic absorption. It will dissolve naturally and will not need to be removed. It reduces inflammation in the retina, which may improve visual acuity. Once injected, the implant dissolves slowly and releases a corticosteroid medication called dexamethasone. Ozurdex eye injection is approved to treat 3 conditions: Diabetic macular oedema (DM0). Macular oedema (swelling of the macula) following branch or central retinal vein occlusion. Noninfectious uveitis (an inflammatory disease of the uvea) affecting the back segment of the eye.

Retinal Surgery: Internal limiting membrane (ILM) peel in Macular hole surgery

Internal limiting membrane (ILM) is a thin layer on the inner surface of the retina. ILM peeling is a surgical technique commonly used to treat macular holes. Researchers found that peeling the of ILM increases the chance for the macular hole to close after the surgery and improves visual recovery.

Retinal Surgery: removal of an epiretinal membrane (scar tissue on the surface of the retina)

Some patients may develop scar tissue on the surface of the retina called Epiretinal membrane or ERM. The membrane often builds up slowly over time and may contract to cause wrinkling of the retinal surface leading to distortion of vision. The scar tissue can be removed via a surgery called “vitrectomy” which involves removing the gel inside the eye using very small instruments. Then the membrane is peeled off the retina with the aid of fine micro-forceps. When the membrane is removed by surgery, you will usually notice an improvement in vision, particularly in the quality of vision. This usually takes a few weeks to months to reach the final improvement as the retina heals after the surgery. You will be followed with the aid of retinal scans to monitor the healing process and restoration of the retinal layers.
