The Batfam as Medical Specialties

bruce wayne is an anaesthetist: you might say, “but, lonelynpc, bruce wayne would be a paediatrician,” to which i would say, "no". this man can pay attention to 1000 things at once. he’s writing in the anaesthetic record while listening to the monitors, singing his favourite song and listening out for close. he knows exactly what the patient's heart rate, sats, etc are from sound alone. he can recognise the most minute changes in the monitor’s sounds and will know exactly what it is that’s dropping or increasing without looking up. if he's standing up, you know there's something to be worried about. (brings cakes in from alfred for his team every day, don't @ me)

dick grayson is a trauma surgeon: this is because i am afraid of him and i am afraid of trauma surgeons. he’s terrifying and he works fast. he's an inexpressible comfort to people in his care, he regularly gets flowers or chocolates from families and patients. he’s lovely outside of work but at work, jfc can you stop glaring at me over the drapes? (also treats his entire team to dinner at the end of every month)

jason todd is a paediatric surgeon: i don’t wanna hear it. he definitely pimps his students, interns and residents for sport but the second he’s around his patients? he's "doctor jay". he’s got stickers in every pocket, fun scrub caps, a dragon stephoscope cover, a jelly finger monster on the end of his penlight and an endless supply of teddy bear tegaderms. he's got toy stephoscopes and teddy bears in his pockets at all times to give to the kids. he puts a bandage, wristband, hospital gown, mask and hairnet on patient's toys before they wake up as well.

barbara gordon is a cardiothoracic surgeon: she’s serious, intimidating and calculating. people look at her and wither. she’s yelling at interns for talking, pimping her med students about everything including her surgical playlist. you get a question wrong? “do some research. i’ll ask you again when i see you next,” and she will not forget so you better do that research. she's strict with patients because she cares and gets so excited when she sees/hears improvement.

tim drake is a radiologist: he’s glued to that damn screen and pounding back black coffee. he’s seeing the problem before you even know there is one. “oh, you don’t see that tiny hairline fracture with your novice eyes? you're pathetic, get out of my way. i’m getting you an ophthalmology consult.”

stephanie brown is an orthopedic surgeon: she’s a jock. i can’t explain it. she is a jock. she’s blasting the most absurdly mixed playlist, singing along and wearing her space suit and lead. she's fun and can tell you the exact injury and the severity just by hearing the mechanism of injury. no filter though smh, she'll tell her intern that they should get their back looked at after seeing their posture.

duke thomas is a neurosurgeon: can’t explain it but he is. he’s got the lights out and that headlamp on, nobody talk to him, he’s Looking™, did somebody breathe? who did that? own up so i can kick you out, you should be ashamed of yourself and your family.

cassandra cain is a general practitioner: i think she’d love being a general practitioner (family medicine). she’d like having regular patients, she'd like the variety and the payoff. alternatively, i'd say she'd like pallative care and providing comfort in end-of-life care.

damian wayne is an ob/gyn: look, let’s be real, he’s probably a vet but in human medicine? ob/gyn. he chews out residents but he also chews out partners in the room for being annoying during delivery. he has a chaperone with him 24/7 and will kick all non-essential personnel out of the room during an exam. also has mastered the old "oh, could you go sign the discharge forms at reception?" to get a partner out of the room so he can ask if the patient is safe going home.

A quick guide on what different titles mean in my posts

(Since education AND healthcare systems vary around the world).

Medical Student (4.5-5 years)

You can get into medical school straight out of high school. College degrees do exist, but they are not the norm, not for medicine, and not for any career, tbh.

You fist 2-3 years are mostly theory. Calculus, chemistry, biology, anatomy, histology, embriology, physiology, pathology, physiopathology, microbiology, pharmacology…. That period end with semiology, and you get a Bachelor’s Degree in Medical Science.

Then, for the next 2 years, you have your clinicals, in which you spend half of the day in the hospital, with patients, and half the day in class, but definitely more focused on patient care and management.

Med student in clinicals = baby of the team (most of the time).

When you finish, you get your Academic Degree, Licenciate in Medicine.

Medical Intern (1.5-2 years)

No longer a student, you are now in your professional practice. Although you are technically still in med school in your university, you can say goodbye to classes, since you’re now a worker.

Probably bottom of the food chain, and probably does all the paperwork that nobody wants to do, but it’s a period where you gain a lot of independence and knowledge through work.

When you finish, you get your Professional Title, Médico Cirujano, but also need to pass a national test (EUNACOM) in order to be able to work.

Once you are a Doctor, you can work with that, or you can specialize.

Resident Doctor

A doctor, who is both working and studying towards a specialty.

Staff

Doctor who is on charge of a team. Tends to be an specialist.

Other titles that may cause confusion:

CNA: I use CNA to refer to TENS (Técnico de Enfermería de Nivel Superior). Technical degree (2.5 years). Takes care of patient’s basic needs, vital signs, may administer non-prescription medications.

Scrub tech: An specialized TENS. Takes care of the surgical instrumental and the sterile field in the OR.

Other TENS specializations: (that aren’t shared with other workers) Ambulance paramedic, anesthesia tech, trauma tech (takes care of plasters).

Medical Technologist: University degree (5Y). In charge of handling the machines and advanced technology equipment. They have 5 sub-specialties: ENT, ophthalmology, morphophysiopathology, blood bank and radiology.

Kinesiologist: University degree (5Y). They encapsulate both Physical Therapy and Respiratory Therapy.

Midwife: University Degree (5Y). Kind of like L&D nurses. Also in charge of reproductive health (i.e inserts IUDs, tests for STIs). Can assist births without a doctor if uncomplicated.

Other professionals that may not need further explanation:

Nurse.

Nutritionist.

Speech therapy.

Occupational therapy.

Progressive Retinal Atrophy in cat.

The cat was presented with gradual blindness over several months. After trying several hospitals with unsatisfactory results, they finally reached me.

I used the indirect ophthalmoscope technique with a 20D aspheric lens (no I did not buy from Volk.) and a focal light source (Incandescent ophthalmology pen light) to obtain the view at the back of the eyeball, where the retina is located. Producing an image taken as shown above.

This image clearly shows the hyper-reflection of the fundus, indicative of retinal degeneration. It also shows the blood vessels had become very faint. I was unable to get a good image of the optic disk, it is just slightly out of frame at the top right (where you can see the faint blood vessel leading to) (also image the lens is showing is upside down.)

(I could make another post about how to take a fundic photograph without a fundus camera, it's difficult and produces a somewhat poor quality image as shown above, but it's better than nothing.)

For comparison, here is the normal feline fundus

image credit : https://veteriankey.com/retina-choroid-sclera/

note the lower reflection of the tapetum (yellow-green background). The light doesn't try to blind you, because the layer of retina was in between you and the tapetum. If the retina degenerates, it become more transparent and the light reflecting shines right back at your face.

note2 blood vessels in the fundus should look thick as shown in this example, not near-non-existence like my patient above.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for Progressive Retinal Atrophy. There is no clear cause either, as we've ruled out the possible toxicity. This disease will often spring upon us without any reason. Genetics is one of the possible explanation, but I cannot prove it, as the cat was of a mixed breed.

The cat was already well adjusted to the owner's household. I gave some recommendations for blind cat environmental care, and assured them the condition was not painful, and there is no additional danger other that the cat will continue to be more blind as time goes by.

The owner was happy with the visit.

It seems, some cases are more about healing the owner's anxiety than the animal's illness. I was not able to produce any better cure than any of the previous hospital's visit, but knowing what's going on, what to expect and what to do goes a long way for a pet parent who loves their furball family member with all their hearts.

Note

since you are a med student(if i remenber correctly) what is your favourite part of it?

Oh my god, everything. Genuinely. I have grown to like this so much.

Ok so for a little background, I study in the Balkans, and the regime of medical studies there is you go to a highschool, any highschool, then you apply for uni and you go to a uni 6 years pass all relevant exams then a license exam and you're a doctor. Which is relevant because first 3 of those 6 years are academic years (theoretical exams, not any touch with the patient) and the last 3 are pent on clinical subjects, rotating on internal medicine and surgery and neurology and psychiatry and dermatology and forensic medicine and ophthalmology and radiology and *lists 300 other things*

So the first 3 years I couldn't wait for it to be over. Genuinely. I wanted to do real medicine stuff and COVID was in full swing and it all was so goddamn hard! But now I'm on year 5 and I love this all so much you have no idea

Now I love everything. I love when I anseer a professor's question correctly. I love when we smile and a patient smiles back, I love when we look at scans and notice the right thing in the right moment, I love wearing scrubs. I love the sweet old women and funny old men who are always the most eager to let you do a check-up because you kids have to learn from somewhere. I love when I pass an exam barely enough that I go phew, I almost failed that but one less! We pushed through! I loved rotating bones in my arms. I loved touching a human heart, a human brain, and then having an existential crisis later. I loved when the first autopsy I did I went back home and cried because I was so overwhelmed with the notion that this grandma was a human with so many stories to tell and I felt so grateful to her, in a way, and to the 9 people who donated their remains so we could have learned on them years earlier. I love psychiatry, a lot, and I loved attending additional classes that I didn't have to attend just for the nicest professor in the world to discuss with us how it is to work in prison. I love the pauses for coffee with my colleagues. And the first time we were carrying newborn little baby up to the neonatology department and spent an hour watching the nurses make little bundles off of them and how 15 of them in two rows were all sleeping at the same time (can u believe. Crazy I know). I loved when we spent hours in the basements of the big clinical centres in the rain just listening to our professor explain radiology to us. And when I held a dying patient's hand while we did a last check-up and the doctor then led us all into a room and held the most tearful, most important, lesson on end-of-life care. I loved every time we went into an operating room. And I loved every little encouragement I got from doctors and nurses and fellow students around me.

Long answer, I'm so sorry 😭❤️ there's too much things I wanted to say

#thank you for the ask op! ❤️#asks #❤️❤️❤️

Rheumatoid Arthritis:

Refer to rheumatologist.

●Nonpharmacologic measures – Nonpharmacologic measures, such as patient education, psychosocial interventions, and physical and occupational therapy, should be used in addition to drug therapy. Other medical interventions that are important in the comprehensive management of RA in all stages of disease include cardiovascular risk reduction and immunizations to decrease the risk of complications of drug therapies.

●Initiation of DMARD therapy soon after RA diagnosis – We suggest that all patients diagnosed with RA be started on disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy as soon as possible following diagnosis, rather than using antiinflammatory drugs alone, such as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and glucocorticoids (Grade 2C). Better outcomes are achieved by early compared with delayed intervention with DMARDs.

●Tight control of disease activity – Tight control treatment strategies to "treat to target" are associated with improved radiographic and functional outcomes compared with less aggressive approaches. Such strategies involve reassessment of disease activity on a regularly planned basis with the use of quantitative composite measures and adjustment of treatment regimens to quickly achieve and maintain control of disease activity if targeted treatment goals (remission or low disease activity) have not been achieved. (

●Pretreatment evaluation – Laboratory testing prior to therapy should include a complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), aminotransferases, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine. Patients receiving hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) should have a baseline ophthalmologic examination, and most patients who will receive a biologic agent or Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor should be tested for latent tuberculosis (TB) infection. Screening for hepatitis B and C should be performed in all patients. Some patients may require antiviral treatment prior to initiating DMARD or immunosuppressive therapy, depending upon their level of risk for hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation.

●Adjunctive use of antiinflammatory agents – We use antiinflammatory drugs, including NSAIDs and glucocorticoids, as bridging therapies to rapidly achieve control of inflammation until DMARDs are sufficiently effective. Some patients may benefit from longer-term therapy with low doses of glucocorticoids.

●Drug therapy for flares – RA has natural exacerbations (also known as flares) and reductions of continuing disease activity. The severity of the flare and background drug therapy influence the choice of therapies. Patients who require multiple treatment courses with glucocorticoids for recurrent disease flares and whose medication doses have been increased to the maximally tolerated or acceptable level should be treated as patients with sustained disease activity. Such patients require modifications of their baseline drug therapies.

●Monitoring – The monitoring that we perform on a regular basis includes testing that is specific to evaluation of the safety of the drugs being; periodic assessments of disease activity with composite measures; monitoring for extraarticular manifestations of RA, other disease complications, and joint injury; and functional assessment.

●Other factors affecting target and choice of therapy – Other factors in RA management that may influence the target or choice of therapy include the disabilities or functional limitations important to a given patient, progressive joint injury, comorbidities, and the presence of adverse prognostic factors.

Osteoarthritis

General principles – General principles of osteoarthritis (OA) management include providing continuous care that is tailored to the patient according to individual needs, goals, and values and should be patient-centered. Treatment can be optimized by OA and self-management education, establishing treatment goals, and periodic monitoring.

●Monitoring and assessment – The management of OA should include a holistic assessment which considers the global needs of the patient. Patient preferences for certain types of therapies should also be assessed, as compliance and outcomes can be compromised if the care plan does not meet the patient's preferences and beliefs.

●Overview of management – The goals of OA management are to minimize pain, optimize function, and beneficially modify the process of joint damage. The primary aim of clinicians should include targeting modifiable risk factors. Due to the modest effects of the individual treatment options, a combination of therapeutic approaches is commonly used in practice and should prioritize therapies that are safer.

●Nonpharmacologic therapy – Nonpharmacologic interventions are the mainstay of OA management and should be tried first, followed by or in concert with medications to relieve pain when necessary. Nonpharmacologic therapies including weight management and exercises, braces and foot orthoses for patients suitable to these interventions, education, and use of assistive devices when required.

●Pharmacologic therapy – The main medications used in the pharmacologic management of OA include oral and topical nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Other options include topical capsaicin, duloxetine, and intraarticular glucocorticoids. Our general approach to pharmacotherapy is described below.

•In patients with one or a few joints affected, especially knee and/or hand OA, we initiate pharmacotherapy with topical NSAIDs due to their similar efficacy compared with oral NSAIDs and their better safety profile.

•We use oral NSAIDs in patients with inadequate symptom relief with topical NSAIDs, patients with symptomatic OA in multiple joints, and/or patients with hip OA. We use the lowest dose required to control the patient's symptoms on an as-needed basis.

•We use duloxetine for patients with OA in multiple joints and concomitant comorbidities that may contraindicate oral NSAIDs and for patients with knee OA who have not responded satisfactorily to other interventions.

•Topical capsaicin is an option when one or a few joints are involved and other interventions are ineffective or contraindicated; however, its use may be limited by common local side effects.

•We do not routinely use intraarticular glucocorticoid injections due to the short duration of its effects (ie, approximately four weeks).

•We avoid prescribing opioids due to their overall small effects on pain over placebo and potential side effects (eg, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness), especially for long-term use and in the older adult population.

•We do not routinely recommend nutritional supplements such as glucosamine, chondroitin, vitamin D, diacerein, avocado soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), and fish oil due to a lack of clear evidence demonstrating a clinically important benefit from these supplements. Other nutritional supplements of interest that may have small effects on symptoms include curcumin (active ingredient of turmeric) and/or Boswellia serrata, but the data are limited.

●Role of surgery – Surgical treatment is dominated by total joint replacement, which is highly effective in patients with advanced knee and hip OA when conservative therapies have failed to provide adequate pain relief.

●Factors affecting response to therapy – The discordance of radiographic findings to pain supports the notion that the mechanisms of pain are complex and likely multifactorial. The placebo effect is also known to impact response to therapy.

●Prognosis – Although there is great variability among individuals and among different phenotypes of OA, courses of pain and physical functioning have been found to be predominantly stable, without substantial improvement or deterioration of symptoms over time.

COVID-19 Vaccines, 20,000 New Eye Disorders Are Reported

These experimental vaccines are designed to cause inflammation throughout the body, by reprogramming human cells to produce inflammatory spike proteins that are derived from the bio-weapon itself. Eye damage is merely a symptom of this inflammation, a sign of more serious problems to come with capillaries and autoimmune issues. The inflammatory conditions caused by the vaccines provide a new revenue stream for various industries within the medical system, including ophthalmology.

With mounting evidence of eye injury post-vaccination, ophthalmologists are ethically obligated to denounce these covid-19 vaccines. The vaccines are causing acute eye injuries at scale and are an underlying cause of inflammation for future eye disorders and other health problems. However, ophthalmologists are not properly trained to recognize, diagnose and report vaccine injury.

When the U.S. FDA issued Emergency Use Authorization for these experimental ‘vaccines’, they did not mention eye disorders specifically. In their fact sheet, they warn, “additional adverse reactions, some of which may be serious, may become apparent with more widespread use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.”

In the UK’s Yellow Card System, vaccine-induced eye damage includes 4,616 cases of severe eye pain, 3,839 cases of blurred vision, 1,808 cases of light intolerance, and 559 cases of double vision. These issues were not prevalent until the vaccine was used. Some of the eye issues are mild but could be a sign of more serious issues within the cardiovascular or nervous systems. There were 768 cases of eye irritation, 731 cases of itchy eyes, 788 cases of ocular hyperemia, 459 cases of eye strain, 400 cases of dry eye, and 653 cases of increased lacrimation.

More serious issues of swelling were documented as well, including swelling around the eye (366 incidences), swelling of the eyelid (360 incidences) eyelid oedema (298) conjunctival haemorrhage or breakage of a small eye vessel (236), periorbital oedema (171), and eye haemorrhage (169). The swelling can be indicative of more serious cerebral, spinal, and/or cardiovascular issues. Blood clots and nervous system disorders are a commonly reported adverse event. The eye disorders provide a window of opportunity to understand just how severe the inflammation is. Ophthalmologists are able to identify early signs of vaccine-induced brain swelling, cardiovascular issues and stroke to help patients seek emergency care before the patient becomes another casualty to these horrid vaccines.

One 33-year-old pilot had severe migraines and sudden vision problems following the Pfizer vaccine. The pain migrated down the back of his neck toward the bottom of his skull. The pain lasted for several days and was accompanied by dizziness, nausea, disorientation, confusion, uncontrollable shaking, and tingling in his toes and fingers. He was ultimately evaluated by doctors. The Pfizer COVID vaccine had increased the pressure in his spinal cord and brain stem, rupturing his left inner ear, and damaging his eyesight.

Lets us understand what happens ahead...

Lasik Eye Surgery

Why is LASIK Surgery deployed?

LASIK is a safe and effective surgery for correcting nearsightedness and farsightedness. It uses a laser to reshape the cornea so that people can see better with no glasses or contact lenses.

Who Is a Good Candidate for LASIK Surgery?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best candidate for LASIK surgery will vary depending on individual factors such as eye health and vision history. However, some of the most common reasons why people may choose to have LASIK surgery are because they suffer from nearsightedness or farsightedness (a condition in which a person can see things close but not distant), or due to concerns about their ability to wear contact lenses long term. If you think that you might be a good candidate for LASIK surgery, it's important

What to Expect With LASIK Surgery

There are many factors that should be considered before undergoing LASIK surgery, such as your age and eye health. However, some of the most important things to know about LASIK include:

How well does the LASIK procedure work?

About 95% of patients who have undergone Lasik report excellent visual results. These individuals generally see a significant improvement in their vision, with reduced or eliminated nearsightedness and farsightedness. Some people experience minor post-operative complications related to dry eyes or glare but these are typically mild and temporary. Many patients also say that

Cataract Surgery or Cataract Treatment

It is a surgical procedure that restores vision by removing the cataract lens from your eye. There are many excellent ophthalmologists in Delhi who can treat cataracts and provide you with stunning restored vision. Here is a list of some of the best eye surgeons in Delhi:

Dr Chirag Mittal – One of India’s most renowned ophthalmologists, has treated thousands of patients over his near 20-year career. He is well-known for his skillful cataract surgery and provides superb results to all his patients.

What are cataracts?

A cataract is a cloudy lens. The lens is positioned behind the colored part of your eye (iris). The lens focuses light that passes into your eye, producing clear, sharp images on the retina — the light-sensitive membrane in the eye that functions like the film in a camera.

As you age, the lenses in your eyes become less flexible, less transparent and thicker. Age-related and other medical conditions cause proteins and fibers within the lenses to break down and clump together, clouding the lenses.

As the cataract continues to develop, the clouding becomes denser. A cataract scatters and blocks the light as it passes through the lens, preventing a sharply defined image from reaching your retina. As a result, your vision becomes blurred.

Cataracts generally develop in both eyes, but not always at the same rate. The cataract in one eye may be more advanced than the other, causing a difference in vision between eyes.

It is generally advised to use eye drops to lubricate your eyes. Please discuss with your eye specialist about which drops to use and how frequently.

What are the types of cataracts?

There are different types of cataracts, which can affect any part of the eye. They can be congenital (present from birth), acquired (caused by an injury or disease), or result from age-related changes in the lens.

Cataract types include:

Cataracts affecting the center of the lens (nuclear cataracts). A nuclear cataract may at first cause more nearsightedness or even a temporary improvement in your reading vision. But with time, the lens gradually turns more densely yellow and further clouds your vision.

As the cataract slowly progresses, the lens may even turn brown. Advanced yellowing or browning of the lens can lead to difficulty distinguishing between shades of color.

Cataracts that affect the edges of the lens (cortical cataracts). A cortical cataract begins as whitish, wedge-shaped opacities or streaks on the outer edge of the lens cortex. As it slowly progresses, the streaks extend to the center and interfere with light passing through the center of the lens.

Cataracts that affect the back of the lens (posterior subcapsular cataracts). A posterior subcapsular cataract starts as a small, opaque area that usually forms near the back of the lens, right in the path of light. A posterior subcapsular cataract often interferes with your reading vision, reduces your vision in bright light, and causes glare or halos around lights at night. These types of cataracts tend to progress faster than other types do.

Cataracts you're born with (congenital cataracts). Some people are born with cataracts or develop them during childhood. These cataracts may be genetic, or associated with an intrauterine infection or trauma.

These cataracts may also be due to certain conditions, such as myotonic dystrophy, galactosemia, neurofibromatosis type 2 or rubella. Congenital cataracts don't always affect vision, but if they do, they're usually removed soon after detection.

What are the symptoms of cataracts?

Signs and symptoms (watch out for symptoms in your family) of cataracts include:

Clouded, blurred or dim vision

Increasing difficulty with vision at night

Sensitivity to light and glare

Need for brighter light for reading and other activities

Seeing "halos" around lights

Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription

Fading or yellowing of colors

Double vision in a single eye

How can I prevent cataracts?

There is no one definitive answer, but some tips to help prevent cataracts include living a healthy lifestyle and avoiding smoking, excessive drinking, and using sunscreens that contain harmful chemicals. Additionally, getting regular eye exams is an important step in maintaining your vision health. If you are experiencing any symptoms or difficulty seeing clearly, contact your doctor for consultation on the best way to protect your eyesight.

What’s the treatment for cataracts?

There is no one-size-fits all answer to this question as the best eye surgeries for cataract correction will vary depending on the type of cataract and your specific medical needs. However, some common treatments for cataracts include laser surgery, contact lens removal, and intraocular lens implants.

Dr. Chirag Mittal at AMVision Eye Care is renowned eye specialist in Delhi, and can provide best evaluation and options for long term relief from cataracts. He can be contacted at AMVision Eye and Child Care, Delhi.

GLAUCOMA

What is Glaucoma and which is the best place to get Eye Surgery done?

There is no definitive answer to this question as glaucoma can be caused by many different factors, such as age, family history, eye health and other medical conditions. That said, some of the best eye surgeons in Delhi who specialize in treating glaucoma are likely to include specialists at AMVision Eye Care, Laxmi Nagar, Delhi amongst others.

SQUINTS

What are Squints?

A squint is a narrowing of the visual field that can be caused by an obstruction in one or both eyes. Squints (one of the most troublesome eye problems) normally go away on their own after a few weeks, but they can occasionally lead to vision problems.

Preparing for squint surgery?

If you are considering squint surgery, then it is important to find an eye surgeon who has experience and expertise in this area. There are a number of factors to consider when selecting the best eye surgeon for your particular case, including location, experience, qualifications and prices. If you are in Delhi:

Dr Chirag Mittal - Dr Mittal is a well-known ophthalmologist with years of experience in treating vision problems. He operates out of AMVision Eye and Child Care in New Delhi and offers a full range of services related to squint surgery.

What happens during squint surgery?

During squint surgery, an incision is made in the patient's skin above their eye and a small window is created. The surgeon then uses a special instrument to remove excess tissue on either side of the pupil (the black part of your eye). This allows light to enter directly into the eye, which often improves vision.

After squint surgery

After the squint surgery people may notice improvement in their vision. There are many eye surgeons available in Delhi with different experience and qualifications.

Some of the best eye surgeons in Delhi include:

- Dr Chirag Mittal, an ophthalmologist based out of Laxmi Nagar in Delhi is one of the top eye surgery specialists in India having a vast experience over more than two decades. He has performed operations for cataract, glaucoma and other eyes related problems amongst others.

How Are Cornea Problems Diagnosed?

The cornea is a thin and clear membrane that covers the front of your eye. When something goes wrong with it, your doctor may diagnose a cornea problem by performing an eye exam and testing for vision problems.

Refractive surgery

This is the most popular ophthalmology procedure in India. Patients from all over the country travel to Delhi for refractive surgery, as surgeries here are considered of excellent quality. Some of the best eye surgeons in Delhi are:

1) Dr. Chirag Mittal

2) Dr. Sanjay Kumar Sharma

3) Dr. Sandeep Khanna

Eye muscle surgery

One of the common surgeries performed on the eye is surgery to correct muscle problems in the eye. The surgeon uses a small scalpel or laser to cut and remove part of the bulging, irregularly shaped muscles that cause vision problems.

The best surgeons in Delhi specialize in this type of surgery. They may also perform other eye surgeries, such as cataract removal and glaucoma treatment.

Questions:

Why Does My Eye Twitch?

Medical Retina and Your Vision: Exploring Key Treatments and Procedures

The health of our eyes is a cornerstone of our well-being, and the importance of vision cannot be overstated. Our ability to see affects everything we do, from our daily tasks to how we interact with the world. Unfortunately, many individuals face challenges related to retinal conditions that can impair vision. While some may be born with retinal issues, others develop them over time due to age, diseases, or lifestyle choices. This is where Medical Retina specialists come into play, offering cutting-edge treatments and procedures to protect and restore vision. We’ll explore the essential role of Medical Retina in maintaining and restoring vision, particularly focusing on the advanced care provided at Amanat Eye Hospital, one of the leading facilities for eye health in Islamabad. As the Best Eye Hospital in Islamabad, Amanat Eye Hospital is dedicated to providing top-tier medical retina care and vision treatment, helping patients manage and overcome various retinal disorders.

What is Medical Retina?

Medical Retina refers to the branch of ophthalmology that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases affecting the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina plays a crucial role in vision by converting light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation. Any disruption or damage to the retina can severely affect vision, leading to conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and more.

Medical retina specialists are experts in diagnosing and treating these conditions using medical and laser therapies. Unlike surgical retina specialists, medical retina experts primarily focus on non-surgical treatments, including the use of injections, laser therapy, and other innovative medical interventions to manage retinal diseases.

At Amanat Eye Hospital, the Medical Retina department is staffed by highly trained specialists who offer personalized care using the latest technologies and treatments to help patients maintain and improve their vision.

Common Retinal Conditions Treated by Medical Retina Specialists

Several retinal conditions are commonly treated under the field of medical retina. These conditions can affect individuals of all ages, and early detection is essential to prevent permanent vision loss. Some of the most prevalent retinal diseases treated by medical retina specialists include:

1. Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common causes of blindness in adults and is a direct result of poorly controlled diabetes. High blood sugar levels over time can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to swelling, leakage, and bleeding. This condition progresses in stages, and without early intervention, it can lead to significant vision impairment.

Medical retina specialists at Amanat Eye Hospital use advanced diagnostic tools to detect diabetic retinopathy in its early stages. Treatments such as laser therapy, intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) medications, and corticosteroids can help manage the disease and preserve vision.

2. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a condition that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. AMD leads to a gradual decline in central vision, which can make activities like reading, driving, and recognizing faces difficult. There are two types of AMD: dry and wet.

Wet AMD is more aggressive and can cause rapid vision loss due to abnormal blood vessel growth beneath the retina. Fortunately, wet AMD can be treated with anti-VEGF injections, which are administered directly into the eye to stop the growth of these abnormal blood vessels.

Amanat Eye Hospital’s Medical Retina department offers the latest treatments for both dry and wet AMD, helping patients manage the condition and maintain their vision for as long as possible.

3. Retinal Vein Occlusion

Retinal vein occlusion occurs when one of the veins that carry blood away from the retina becomes blocked. This can lead to swelling, bleeding, and a decrease in vision. There are two types of retinal vein occlusion: central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

Treatment for retinal vein occlusion typically includes injections of anti-VEGF medications or corticosteroids, which help reduce swelling and prevent further damage. In some cases, laser therapy may be used to treat areas of the retina that have been affected by the blockage.

4. Macular Edema

Macular edema refers to the accumulation of fluid in the macula, the central area of the retina, leading to swelling and blurry central vision. It is often a complication of diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and other retinal conditions. Macular edema can also be treated with intravitreal injections and laser therapy, both of which help reduce the swelling and improve vision.

5. Retinal Tears and Detachments

While retinal tears and detachments often require surgical intervention, medical retina specialists are essential in the early detection and management of these conditions. Retinal tears can be caused by trauma or the natural aging process, and if left untreated, they can lead to a retinal detachment, which is a medical emergency. In some cases, laser therapy can be used to seal retinal tears before a detachment occurs.

Treatment Procedures in Medical Retina

Medical retina specialists use various techniques to treat retinal diseases. Some of the most common and advanced procedures include:

1. Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is one of the most widely used treatments in medical retina. It involves using a focused laser beam to treat retinal conditions by either sealing leaking blood vessels or creating small burns to prevent abnormal growths. Laser treatments can be used to treat diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and macular edema.

2. Intravitreal Injections

Intravitreal injections are used to deliver medication directly into the vitreous, the gel-like substance in the eye. These injections are most commonly used for conditions like wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion. Anti-VEGF injections, such as Lucentis and Eylea, are often used to prevent abnormal blood vessel growth, while corticosteroid injections can reduce inflammation and swelling.

3. Vitrectomy (Surgical Procedure)

While medical retina is focused on non-surgical treatments, certain conditions, such as severe retinal detachment or macular hole, may require surgery. A vitrectomy is a procedure where the vitreous gel is removed from the eye to provide better access to the retina for treatment. While vitrectomy is a surgical procedure, it is often recommended when medical treatments alone are insufficient to restore or maintain vision.

4. OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) Imaging

OCT is an advanced imaging technique that allows medical retina specialists to obtain detailed, cross-sectional images of the retina. This helps in diagnosing various retinal conditions, including macular edema, AMD, and diabetic retinopathy, and monitoring the progress of treatment. OCT is an essential tool in the early detection and ongoing management of retinal diseases.
