Glaucoma (eye pressure) is an insidious disease that leads to progressive weakening of the optic nerve and loss of visual field due to increased intraocular pressure, resulting in blindness if not treated.

It is recommended that people over the age of 40 undergo a detailed eye examination once a year.

Will I Use Glasses After Cataract Surgery?
During cataract surgery, the lens placed in the eye can be adjusted to see far or near clearly. Thus, if the eye of the operated person is reset for distance, he can see the distance clearly without glasses, but he must use glasses for near. If the eye is made nearsighted with the lens inserted in the surgery, that person will be able to see near without glasses, but the need for glasses for distance will arise. If a multifocal lens is preferred, myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism problems can be solved with a single lens.

I am constantly working with the computer. Will My Eyes Deteriorate?
Looking at the computer screen does not actually cause a refractive error. Working at the computer for a long time in people with refractive errors can cause fatigue, eye, and headache. Wearing appropriate glasses will resolve these problems. During a careful look at the screen, the number of blinks decreases, which causes the surface of the eye to dry out. In cases where the ambient humidity decreases, the rate of evaporation of tears increases in air-conditioned environments such as offices. In order to prevent drying of the eye surface, we should increase the number of blinks and work by taking breaks.
The top of the computer screen should not exceed eye level. In this way, your eye will be in a slightly downward-facing position during the study, which will reduce the surface of the eye where your tears can evaporate by keeping your lid gap slightly narrow.
I'm Diabetic, Will There Be Any Problems With My Eyes?
Diabetes (Diabetes) may affect the vessels and cause bleeding in the retina (nerve) layer of the eye. The more diabetics pay attention to their metabolic controls (FBG below 20 mg, hypertension control, total lipid, and cholesterol within normal limits), the longer they delay the destruction of the vessels. Diabetics should undergo a detailed eye examination once a year. If bleeding has started in the retinal layer, these controls should be done more frequently.
