When Eye Twitching Means More: Unmasking Hemifacial Spasm Author: Kritika Gautam Optometrist Dr Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital Eye twitching is frequently brought on by stress, eye strain, and fatigue, particularly in relation to the muscles and nerves in the face. These twitches are temporary that last for some time and resolve on their own without any medical intervention. However, persistent, and severe twitching indicates underlying conditions that can be misdiagnosed with regular twitches. One such condition is Hemifacial Spasm.

Body Mass Index and Eye Pressure: Unveiling the Hidden Connection Author: Nistha Thapa B. Optom Student Acharya Institute of Allied Health Sciences Intraocular pressure (IOP) is an important element in the development and progression of glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. Elevated IOP is the primary modifiable risk factor for glaucoma, however, the effect of systemic variables such as Body Mass Index (BMI) on IOP is still under investigation. This blog investigates the link between BMI and IOP, using findings from recent studies.

Diving Deeper: Why Our Eyes Are Not Meant for The Deep Blue? Authors: Vivek Suganthan R Assistant Professor Dr Aiswaryah Radhakrishnan Associate Professor SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre Our fascination with the underwater world is undeniable. But for humans, venturing beneath the waves comes with a significant visual hurdle. Our eyes, perfectly tuned for the terrestrial environment, struggle to function underwater due to fundamental differences in how light travels. The crux of the issue lies in refraction. The cornea, responsible for two-thirds of our eye's focusing power on the air, loses its dominance underwater.

The Eye-Epilepsy Connection: Jeavons Syndrome Author: Sejal R Singh Research Optometrist Sankara Nethralaya Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition where clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain occasionally send incorrect signals, leading to seizures.  Jeavons syndrome, or epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EMA), is a childhood idiopathic generalised epilepsy. It is distinguished by three main symptoms: photosensitivity, eye-closure-induced seizures, eyelid myoclonia with or without absences, and EEG paroxysms.
