How to choose an eye doctor?

January 3rd, 2010

Millions of people have vision problems, some of which have no telltale signs and may cause permanent vision loss if not treated in time. So it’s very important to have a good eye doctor for your eye care. Eye doctors can not only detect your visual acuity but also detect many things that you can’t, such as fluid pressure, blood pressure, and even diabetes, high cholesterol and brain tumors.

There are two kinds of eye doctors: optometrists and ophthalmologists. So the first step in choosing an eye doctor is to make sure which kind of eye doctor is suitable for you. An optometrist is an eye doctor who has earned the doctor of optometry degree after completing a four-year college degree program in the sciences and a four-year post-graduate training in optometry school. This kind of eye doctors can examine your eye’s vision and health problems, and prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct refractive errors. In recent years, some optometrists are also licensed to provide low vision care and vision therapy. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor specializes in eye and vision care. This kind of eye doctors get more education than optometrists, besides eight years in medical school, they also have a year of internship and a minimum of three years residency in hospital. Although ophthalmologists can do all the work that optometrists do, they spend more time in diagnosing and treating disease, prescribing medications and performing eye surgery. Besides these two kinds of eye doctors, there is an optician. An optician is not an eye doctor, but he/she can use the prescriptions written by an eye doctor to fit eyeglasses or contact lenses for you.

Finally, if your eyes are healthy, you may find a friendly, competent and caring eye doctor, either an ophthalmologist or an optometrist, who is recommended by your friends or family members.

Definition of legal blindness

October 29th, 2009

Blindness is an important health care issue that exacts both economic and social costs. It is easy to understand that blindness is a vision problem of lacking visual perception due to physiological or neurological factors. Blindness is a kind of vision loss. The most common eye disease causes of blindness including: cataracts, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Besides, abnormalities, injuries, genetic defects and certain chemicals may also lead to blindness.

In order to determine which people may need special assistance because of their visual disabilities, various governmental jurisdictions have formulated complex definitions for legal blindness. In 1934, the American Medical Association (AMA) adopted the following definition of legal blindness: central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with corrective glasses or the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angular distance no greater than 20 degrees in the better eye. And now, blindness is defined according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and North American criteria for the better-seeing eye. The WHO divide vision problems into five levels: moderate low vision, severe low vision, profound vision loss (central visual acuity from 20/500 to 20/1000 or visual field < 10 degrees), near total vision loss, and total vision loss in which clinically recorded is “no light perception”(NLP). The last three levels are defined as blindness. Note that low vision does not meet criteria for a definition of blindness. While North American and most of Europe still uses the previous definition by AMA since 1934.

Blind people with undamaged eyes may still use light in order to keep the 24-hour light and dark cycle.

A couple of options for eye care vision

October 9th, 2009

Whether your eyesight was born with disorder, or got deteriorated due to improper use of eyes, you may want to find ways to improve your eye care vision. Modern advancement of technology offers a variety of options to get your eye care vision done.

The natural way of eye care vision improvement is eye exercises. Eye exercises have been existed for more than a century, though there is still no precisely scientific evidence showing the effectiveness of this natural therapy for your eye care vision. But this mechanism is easily understandable that any exercises do good to health of the body, so do the eye exercises.

Wearing eyeglasses is the most widely-used method of eye care and vision enhancement. The conception of wearing glasses has been changed from viewing as stigma in the early years to the present fashion statement and a piece of facial aesthetic jewelry. Of course eyeglasses can be only be used to rectify those correctable refractive errors like myopia and hyperopia. For those patients of low vision which arises from old-aged diseases, glasses couldn’t help to much. Low vision glasses can help only a little. While most old low vision patients use hand-held low vision optical magnifier of different strength for different works.

Contact lenses are the new alternate in the recent 50 years for achieving eye care and clearer vision. Contact lenses are popular among those who don’t want to be bothered by the glasses, and want to show the natural beauty of their faces. Some opticians believe that prolonged wear of contact lenses will trigger eye infections which will further complicate the eye care and vision errors.

Lasik surgery s believed to be the most modern technology in the eye care and vision sphere. This surgery corrects your eye care and vision problems permanently, and let you be free from any vision correction gears. Though laser surgery is thought to be safe, there exist some side effects as per reports in the media, and it is reported that some people are not suitable for the surgery due to their personal medical status.

So many options provide us full freedom of eye care vision protection. As one person only has one pair of eyes, any efforts towards the vision protection will be more than worthwhile.
