Ophthalmic Freebie

Glaucoma accounts for 10% of blindness in the U.S. But because there often are no warning symptoms, half of the nearly 3 million Americans with glaucoma go undiagnosed until it is too late.

If you lack health insurance, you may be eligible for a free eye exam through the Eye Care America program of the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Aphakia

Aphakia is a condition resulting from cataract removal. Aphakic contact lenses replace the heavy, thick glasses used after cataract removal and provide superior vision. Today aphakic lenses are used when an intraocular lens (IOL) implant is not inserted in the eye at the time of cataract removal. This is usually the case with infants and small children that need cataract surgery.

 

Aphakia

 

 

When a patient is aphakic in one eye and has a normal lens in the other, clear eyesight with both eyes can only be achieved by wearing a contact lens in the operated eye.
