Pugita Sa Mata: What Is It Like To Live With Pterygium in the Eye?

Pterygium is an eye condition characterized by the appearance of fleshy and triangular tissue on the side of the eye. The growth typically extends from the sclera (the white part of the eye) to the cornea (the transparent and bulging area that covers the iris and pupil). 

In the Philippines, pterygium is called “pugita sa mata,” possibly because its triangle shape vaguely resembles the marine animal. Pterygium can look very alarming, but it is not a dangerous condition. In many cases, people can leave the growth as is without experiencing any problems. However, there are also instances when it must be removed surgically.

Asian Eye Institute is here to provide ways to manage pterygium in the eye. By consulting our doctors, you will be more informed about your condition, so you can decide better if you want to remove it or not. If you wish to speak with our specialists, you only have to schedule an appointment through our online channels or mobile and landline numbers. Our staff members will be more than happy to assist you.

Expert Tips for Gentle Care of Your Ortho-K Lenses

Orthokeratology or ortho-k is a modern approach to correcting refractive errors, particularly myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Many patients favor it because of its noninvasiveness and affordability compared to surgical solutions.

It is done to temporarily reshape the cornea and help those with refractive errors see clearly without prescription lenses. Patients will have to wear special ortho-k lenses at night when they sleep, and their cornea will be reshaped during this period. When they wake up, they will take off the lenses, but they will not experience blurry vision or other signs of refractive errors.

If you still experience irritation and other eye-related concerns that might stem from using your ortho-k lenses, consult your doctor as soon as possible. At Asian Eye Institute, we provide convenient ways for you to speak with our ophthalmologists and orthokeratology specialists. Contact our team today for more information regarding our services.

A Comprehensive Guide to PRK Eye Surgery in the Philippines

When it comes to improving vision, there have been many breakthroughs over the years that helped people see clearly again. Of course, eyeglasses and contact lenses are still some of the most common vision correction methods, and they remain popular because they are affordable, effective, and easy to use. But over the years, several remarkable improvements in eye care have emerged; surgical procedures are now available for people who want to bid farewell to their visual aids permanently.

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) surgery is designed to adjust the shape of the cornea to correct refractive errors. It is also a laser-based surgery that has gained widespread recognition because of how effective and safe it is in enhancing patients’ eyesight. 

PRK eye surgery is available to patients in the Philippines who want to correct their refractive errors permanently. It is a safe and effective procedure, and we offer it here at Asian Eye Institute.

Spotting Eye Problems in Children

Asian Eye Institute Pediatric Ophthalmologist and Adult Strabismus Specialist Dr. Norman Fajardo shares that symptoms of eye problems in children vary. “Children don’t usually complain if they can’t see clearly. They think it’s normal, so we really advise parents to be observant of their children’s behaviour and to bring their children for regular comprehensive eye exams.”

Aside from refractive errors, children can also develop other eye problems, including lazy eye (the brain ignores the images from the eye, so they cannot see clearly even if they wear eyeglasses or contact lenses); strabismus (misaligned eyes, more commonly known as pagkaduling and pagkabanlag), glaucoma (abnormally high eye pressure that may lead to permanent blindness) and cataract (clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye that may also lead to...Read more
