If you wake up with blurry, foggy vision in the morning that slowly clears as the day goes on, it’s not just “sleepy eyes.”

This can be a sign of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy.

In this condition, the innermost layer of the cornea (called the endothelium) doesn’t work properly. These cells normally pump excess fluid out of the cornea to keep it clear. Over time, they slowly reduce in number, allowing fluid to build up.

At night, when your eyes are closed, evaporation decreases and fluid accumulates in the cornea. This causes corneal swelling, which is why vision feels hazy or foggy on waking. As the day progresses and your eyes stay open, evaporation improves and vision often clears temporarily.

Don’t ignore morning blur. Early diagnosis helps manage symptoms and protect long-term vision.

If this sounds familiar, an eye check can make all the difference. 👁️

Before compliments, I check if the cornea is clear.
If the lens is healthy.
If the eye pressure is normal.
If the retina is safe and seeing the way it should.

Beautiful eyes mean nothing if vision is slowly getting damaged inside.
And the truth is, many serious eye problems don’t hurt, don’t look obvious, and don’t give early warnings.

That’s why regular eye check-ups matter.
Not just to see well today — but to protect your sight for years to come.

Because clear vision, comfort, and eye health will always matter more than how eyes look. 👁️✨

High fever seizures in infants don’t just affect the body — they can affect the brain.
And when the part of the brain responsible for vision is involved, the eyes may appear perfectly normal, yet vision can still be severely affected. This is known as cortical visual impairment (CVI).

That’s what makes it dangerous.
No pain. No redness. No obvious eye problem.
Just missed milestones — not following light, not fixing gaze, not recognising faces.

Early eye and neurological evaluation is critical.
While some damage may be permanent, early intervention, vision stimulation, and therapy can significantly improve how a child uses their remaining vision.

If your child has a history of:
• Febrile seizures
• Birth complications
• Delayed visual response
• Poor eye contact

Please don’t wait hoping things will “improve with time.”
Time matters. Early action matters more.

In your 20s, eye damage doesn’t announce itself loudly.
It whispers. And most people ignore it.

Lash serums. Waterproof mascara. Heavy eye makeup. Untreated facial rosacea.
They look harmless. They’re trending. Everyone’s using them.

But here’s what happens quietly over time 👇
• Lash serums can inflame eyelid glands
• Waterproof makeup clogs oil glands
• Cream shadows > dry powders for sensitive lids
• Facial rosacea can slowly turn into ocular rosacea
• Dryness, burning, redness become your new normal

And one day you’re sitting in an eye clinic saying,
“Doctor, my eyes always feel irritated… I don’t know why.”

Eye care in your 20s isn’t about fear.
It’s about prevention.

Because eyes don’t regenerate.
And trends change faster than damage heals.

Listen to your eye doctor early.
Your future eyes will thank you. 👁️

This patient came to me with a complaint most people overlook — the eye wasn’t closing completely.
No severe pain. No dramatic redness. Just constant exposure.

This condition is called Lagophthalmos — where the eyelids cannot close fully. It can occur due to facial nerve weakness, eyelid scarring, bulging eyes, previous eye surgeries, or even during sleep (nocturnal lagophthalmos).

When the eye stays partially open, the surface dries out. Over time, this can lead to corneal damage, infections, irritation, and even permanent vision loss if not treated on time.

Using advanced imaging like OPTOS, we can examine the eye thoroughly and decide the right treatment — whether it’s lubrication, protection, or surgical correction.

If you or someone you know sleeps with their eyes open, has difficulty closing an eye, or experiences constant dryness — don’t ignore it.
Early diagnosis makes all the difference.

Most people panic the moment they hear the words “injection in the eye.”
I get it. It sounds scary. But here’s the honest truth — this injection is often the reason people don’t lose their vision.

Conditions like diabetic retinopathy and wet AMD cause bleeding and swelling inside the retina, the most sensitive part of your eye. This damage happens quietly. No pain. No warning. And if left untreated, the vision loss can be sudden and permanent.

That’s where anti-VEGF injections come in.
These medicines are delivered directly into the eye, exactly where the problem is. They stop the abnormal bleeding, reduce fluid buildup, and protect the healthy retinal tissue. The procedure itself takes only a few minutes and is done under sterile conditions. Most patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable it actually is.

What truly puts vision at risk is delay — waiting out of fear, ignoring symptoms, or skipping follow-ups. Retina damage doesn’t reverse on its own. Once vision is lost, it often cannot be fully recovered.

If your ophthalmologist has advised eye injections, it’s not optional care — it’s vision-saving treatment. A few seconds today can protect years of sight ahead.

Don’t fear the injection.
Fear what happens when bleeding inside the eye is left untreated.

👁️ Early treatment saves vision. Regular retina check-ups matter.

Here’s the hard truth.

Many anti-itch or “redness relief” eye drops contain steroids. They give quick relief, so people keep using them without realizing the damage happening inside the eye. Long-term, unsupervised use can lead to cataract, glaucoma, infections, and permanent vision loss.

That blur you’re noticing now isn’t sudden. It’s the result of years of silent damage.

Eye drops are medicines. Not cosmetics. Not daily comfort products.
If your eyes itch often, the real problem could be allergy, dry eye, lid issues, or infection — and each needs a different treatment.

Never use any eye drop continuously without an ophthalmologist’s advice.
And if you’ve been using one for months or years, please get your eyes checked immediately.

Your eyes don’t get a second chance. Treat them with respect. 👁️

Most people think cataract is an “old age problem” that suddenly appears one day.
That’s not how it works.

A cataract grows slowly and silently.
First, the vision feels slightly dull.
Then lights start to glare at night.
Colors lose their sharpness.
Reading becomes difficult.
And gradually, even familiar faces look unclear.

By the time many patients come to us, the cataract has already become dense — making surgery more challenging than it needed to be.

This visual shows exactly how a cataract progresses inside the eye — from a clear lens to a cloudy, hardened one.
The process is gradual, painless, and easy to ignore. That’s why regular eye examinations are critical, especially if you are:
• Above 40
• Diabetic
• Using steroids long-term
• Experiencing night glare or blurred vision

The good news?
Cataract surgery today is safe, quick, and highly precise with modern technology. Early diagnosis means smoother surgery and faster visual recovery.

Don’t wait until vision drops drastically.
If your eyesight feels even slightly “off,” get it checked.

Clear vision isn’t luck — it’s timely care.

As an ophthalmologist, nothing compares to this moment ✨
When a patient looks up after surgery and says, “Doctor, I can see everything clearly,” my heart fills with pure joy and gratitude.
Restoring vision isn’t just a procedure it’s giving back confidence, independence, and a brighter world. 👁️💙

Most people don’t realise this, but the tiny oil glands along your eyelids decide how clear your vision stays through the day.
When these glands get blocked, the tears evaporate too fast. Your eyes feel heavy, gritty, watery, and the vision goes soft or hazy.
That’s Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and it’s one of the most ignored causes of dry, tired eyes.

The worst part?
Most people keep increasing their screen breaks, switching eye drops, or blaming weak eyesight… while the real reason is sitting quietly on their eyelids.

The good news: you can fix it before it becomes chronic.

Here’s what helps:
• Warm compresses to melt the trapped oil
• Gentle eyelid massage
• Daily lid hygiene
• Omega-3 rich diet
• Avoiding rubbing your eyes
• Using the right lubricating drops
• And if it’s severe, in-clinic gland cleaning

If you often feel:
✔ Blurry vision by the end of the day
✔ Burning or stinging
✔ Sticky eyelids
✔ Stringy discharge
✔ Excessive tearing
✔ Eye heaviness after screens

…your oil glands are sending you a warning.

Healthy glands = stable tears = clear vision.

Take care of them now, so your eyes don’t pay for it later.

If you’ve been thinking about getting rid of your glasses, you should know this first: there isn’t one “best” procedure. There are different ways to correct your number, and the right choice depends on your eyes, your cornea, your age and how stable your prescription is.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common options we use in practice:
1. PRK
Great for people with thinner corneas. No flap is created. Recovery is slower but results are solid and long-term.
2. Contoura Vision
A customised laser treatment that maps thousands of points on your cornea. Designed for sharper, more precise vision.
3. Femto LASIK
A bladeless version of LASIK. Very safe, very comfortable, quick healing.
4. SMILE / SILK
Small-incision laser procedures. No flap, minimal dryness, fast recovery. Works well for many higher powers too.
5. ICL (Implantable Contact Lens)
Perfect for people with very high numbers, thin corneas, or dry eyes. A lens is placed inside the eye without removing anything. Clear, stable vision.
6. Clear Lens Exchange
Best when you’re above 45–50 with early cataract changes or numbers that keep fluctuating. Your natural lens is replaced with a new artificial lens to give you sharp vision without glasses.

Every eye is different. What suits your friend may not suit you.
A proper corneal scan, retina check and tear film analysis is the only way to know which procedure is safe for your eyes.

If you’re thinking of ditching your glasses, get evaluated instead of guessing. Your vision is too valuable for shortcuts.
