Most #cataracts form as a result of natural aging but multiple health factors can increase risk including vitrectomy, a surgical procedure on the #retina. Our #client Nacuity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is developing an #oxidativestress therapy to slow #cataract progression in patients undergoing vitrectomy.

After cataract surgery, many patients find their distant vision significantly improved and may not need glasses for far distances. However, depending on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) used, some may still require reading glasses for close-up tasks. The specific IOL chosen can influence the overall need for glasses, with options like multifocal or accommodative lenses potentially reducing dependence on both distance and reading glasses. For personalized advice and the best IOL options, visit our ophthalmologists at Jehangir Hospital. #JehangirHospital #WeAddCare #PatientFirst #LiveHealthy #PatientCare #cataractsurgery #intraocularlens #readingglasses #multifocal #ophthalmologists

🔍 Exploring Surgery 101: Understanding Cholangiogram 📸 Ever wondered how surgeons get an intricate view of your bile ducts during surgery? Enter the intraoperative cholangiogram! 🌟 Unlike traditional X-rays, which capture static images, a cholangiogram offers a dynamic, real-time video of your bile ducts. It's like having a live feed of what's happening inside your body as the surgery progresses. 🎥 Key Components: - Left and Right Hepatic Ducts - Common Hepatic Duct - Cystic Duct - Common Bile Duct - Pancreatic Duct Knowing the normal measurements is crucial: - Common Bile Duct Diameter: 5-8mm (increases by 1mm per decade) - Pancreatic Duct Diameter: 2-4mm Next time you hear about a cholangiogram, you'll understand why it's a game-changer in surgical precision and patient care! 💡 #Surgery101 #Cholangiogram #MedicalInnovation #bilestone #laproscopy #cholelithiasis #lapchole

It's amazing to see how modern technology is revolutionizing patient care! 👁️ Today, we can significantly enhance visual quality even in complex cases, such as when #cataracts coexist with #keratoconus. In this case, the patient underwent cornea regularization using an excimer laser and corneal cross-linking and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. After two surgeries and a year of recovery, the patient achieved an impressive vision without glasses of 80% and the vision with glasses achieved 125%, also marking a significant improvement in visual quality. 👁️ #EyeCare #VisionImprovement #MedicalAdvancements #PatientSuccess #CataractSurgery #Keratoconus #ExcimerLaser #FemtosecondLaser #ELZA #Zürich #Schweiz #Switzerland

One of the most crucial aspects of cataract surgery preparation is obtaining accurate measurements of the eye. These measurements are crucial for calculating the power of the intraocular lens (IOL) to be implanted during cataract surgery, ensuring optimal visual outcomes for every patient. At Nexus Eyecare, obtaining accurate measurements of the eyes to try and reduce your reliance on glasses after cataract surgery is our aim. These measurements include the length of the eye and corneal curvature. Factors such as dry eyes can cause distortion and result in more reliance on glasses postoperatively. Having the eye well prepared for IOL measurements is really important. At Nexus Eyecare we have introduced a complimentary cataract preparation pack, including eyedrops to be used prior to your eye measurements. Visit us at Nexus Eyecare to discuss how we can improve your vision.
