The Eyes are the Windows to the Soul
For centuries, the literary world and artists alike have used the metaphor โwindows to the soulโ to indicate how important the eye is to the rest of the body. It is described as a first point of contact, as it were. There are even Biblical references which relates to the importance of the eye: Acts 26, verse 18: โTo open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to lightโ.
When a patient arrives with a certain problem, the eye is a treasure trove of wealth to be examined. Within it, the eyes hold opportunities and clues for the practitioners in the medical science to detect and successfully diagnose illnesses. When using technology, an Ophthalmologist (Eye specialist) can visualize the retina with clarity. The retina is the inner, thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye. This can be done using a split lamp with specialized lenses, a retinal camera or even doing an OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography). When a change on the retina is observed, further tests can be done in cases where Diabetes, Hypertension and High Cholesterol are suspected. There are certain marks that are left of the retina by parasitic infections such as Toxoplasmosis, Toxocara and even Malaria.
The eye is so revealing, even the use of certain medications can leave their mark on the retina. Some of these include steroids, anti-malaria medicines as well as medicines that treat heart conditions.
