Diabetic eye disease
Diabetes is the most common cause of vision loss in the working age population in the developed world, and it is very common in the EGYPT. A wide variety of problems occur in diabetes that need different types of treatment. This may require laser to the retina to stop blood vessels growing, injections into the eye to stop blood vessels leaking, or surgery to remove scar tissue or fix retinal detachments. We, at VISICARE, can also perform all of the aforementioned treatments.
Retinal detachment
Although not common the effects of retinal detachment can be devastating. Treatment will vary depending on the extent and type of retinal detachment. This may include just laser treatment, injecting a bubble of gas into the eye, placing a buckle around the eye or removing the vitreous jelly and undertaking a major retinal reconstruction. Again VISICAREis able to manage every sort of detachment.
Macular degeneration
This is overall the most common cause of poor eyesight in the worldwide. It usually occurs in the elderly but may be seen in people as young as 50. At visicare we are able to offer a comprehensive diagnostic service and treat the retina where this is possible. It does regrettably remain the case that many eyes cannot be treated, yet there are some that respond very well to laser, injections or occasionally even surgery. All proven treatments are available at VISICARE.
