1- Keratoconus (ker-uh-toe-KOH-nus) occurs when your cornea — the clear, dome-shaped front surface of your eye — thins and gradually bulges outward into a cone shape. A cone-shaped cornea causes blurred vision and may cause sensitivity to light and glare 2- In most people who have keratoconus, both eyes are eventually affected, although not always to the same extent. ... With severe keratoconus, the stretched collagen fibers can lead to severe scarring. If the back of the cornea tears, it can swell and take many months for the swelling to go away 3- Currently there is no cure for keratoconus. It is a lifelong eye disease. Thankfully, however, most cases of keratoconus can be successfully managed. For mild to moderate keratoconus, scleral contact lenses made of advanced rigid gas permeable lens materials typically are the treatment of choice

1- Low Vision Aids are devices designed to help people with poor vision read and see. Examples include standing and hand-held magnifiers, strong magnifying reading glasses, loupes, and small telescopes. ... Often prescribed by an eye doctor, these devices are different from your normal eyesight 2- What are the causes of low vision? Some of the most common causes of low vision include age-related macular degeneration, diabetes, and glaucoma. Low vision may also result from cancer of the eye, albinism, brain injury, or inherited disorders of the eye including retinitis pigmentosa 3- Can low vision be corrected? It's a loss of sight that can't be corrected with prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Low vision doesn't include complete blindness, because you will have some sight left. It can be treated or offset, however, with vision aids like magnifying glasses

1- A prosthetic eye can help improve the appearance of people who have lost an eye to injury or disease. It's commonly called a "glass eye" or "fake eye." It's not really an eye, but a shell that covers the structures in the eye socket 2-H ow does a fake eye work? Instead, a prosthetic eye includes a porous round implant that's inserted into the eye socket and covered with eye tissue called conjunctiva. A thin, curved, glossy painted acrylic disk made to look like a natural eye — complete with an iris, pupil, white, and even blood vessels — is slipped onto the implant 3- How often does a prosthetic eye need to be replaced? How often should I replace my prosthetic eye? The integrity of the materials of a prosthetic eye made at Ocular Prosthetics, Inc. will last for at least ten years. However, most people will need a replacement at approximately 3-5 years due to the settlement of soft tissue in the eye socket

# color vision disorder # *Sight is the most important sense. 90% of all information is received by sight, 5% by hearing, 2% by touch, 2% by taste and 1% by smell. * Poor information received due to color blindness slows down or even prevents comprehension. This slows down reactions and generally reduces a person's quality of life * 8% of men and 0.5% of women have color vision deficiency (CVD), also known as color blindness. * There are approximately 32.6 million men infected in the United States, Japan and Western Europe. * Children with color vision deficiency often struggle in their classroom activities such as learning colors, understanding color-coded graphs and maps, etc. * In addition, they may be exposed to ridicule and embarrassment due to their inability to perform these simple tasks. The normal human eye sees three colours: red, green, and blue. * All other colors are the result of mixing varying amounts of red, green and blue. When a person suffers from a lack of color vision, he has a problem seeing one or more of the three primary colors. # color vision correction Use corrective lenses for every type of red-green vision deficiency, including the most severe Protanopy (complete lack of red cones) and Deuteranopy (total lack of green cones). *Color enhancement glasses enhance the patient's color vision. Which improves his ability to see colors and their gradations, which were not known to him before. * All correction lenses are used during the test. The patient and the optometrist will select the most effective lenses to provide the best visual color vision. *Plano, bifocal and multifocal lenses are available. * Lenses can be shaped to fit any frame. # Where can you get glasses? * Make an appointment for the optometrist, "Amer Salama" * For more information, please email us at Whatsapp 00962779344759 or contact us 00962796669196
