Eye enlargement operations

 Sometimes, with the loss of skin elasticity, we notice the drooping of the cheeks on both sides of the face due to gravity and the loss of nutrients necessary for the freshness of the skin, the lack of collagen and elastin formation elements necessary for skin elasticity, and exposure to aging factors that are often overlooked.  The most important of these is constant exposure to sunlight without using sunscreen or not taking antioxidants, whether they are available in foods or some medicinal supplements.  As a result of drooping the cheeks, the eyelids droop with them, leading to signs of aging and narrowing of the eyes.

Argon laser

In ophthalmology, argon laser technology is used to perform a type of treatment called photocoagulation. Photocoagulation is a treatment technique based on the use of a strong light source with predetermined wavelengths for tissue coagulation, where the target tissue absorbs light energy that turns into thermal energy, so this type of laser belongs to what is known as a thermal laser. When the target tissue temperature exceeds 65 ° C, the nature of its proteins changes, and the so-called coagulated necrosis appears. With the question of Dr. Muhammad Hantira - Honorary Assistant Professor - Department of Ophthalmology - Umm Al-Qura University - Saudi Arabia Explain that the effectiveness of photocoagulation depends on how the light beam penetrates into the eye contour and how it is absorbed by the target tissue - the light is first absorbed by the tissues that contain melanin, xanthophyll pigment, and hemoglobin. The effectiveness of the photocoagulation zone depends on the intensity, duration and size of the light stroke used. As Dr. Hantira explained: Photocoagulation is treated with local anesthesia with a special contact lens suitable for the type of treatment and the eye area to be treated. The argon laser technology is indicated for the following conditions: • Glaucoma for iridectomy and trabeculoplasty. • Vascular diseases of the retina, especially in diabetic retinopathy, where optical coagulation is of critical importance to prevent disease progression and blindness. • Photocoagulation is also used in deep vein thrombosis and aneurysm processes. • Cases of retinal vasculitis • In all clinical cases that may lead to retinal ischemia, which can lead to what may in turn cause serious intraocular complications. • In cases of vitreous haemorrhage and retinal detachment. • Degenerative diseases in the peripheral retina and the presence of holes or tears at the level of the retina may lead to retinal detachment if not treated - and the argon laser is very important for its prevention. • Diseases of the placenta, such as tumors, tumors of the blood vessels and lymph membranes. With us, you are in safe hands, and we wish you a speedy recovery In ophthalmology, argon laser technology is used to perform a type of treatment called photocoagulation.  Photocoagulation is a treatment technique based on the use of a strong light source with predetermined wavelengths for tissue coagulation, where the target tissue absorbs light energy that turns into thermal energy, so this type of laser belongs to what is known as a thermal laser.

Squint

 is a visual disorder that affects one or both eyes, and this condition occurs when the external muscles of the eye are inconsistent in movement or if there is a much weaker eye than the other eye.  Therefore, the squint is a condition resulting from the lack of focus of light correctly on the retina due to the inconsistency of the two images of the eye that reached the brain and the part responsible for vision, and this makes vision blurry and blurred, or it may lead to a complete loss of vision in the weak eye.
