If you suffer from dry eyes, red eyes or conjunctivitis, make an urgent appointment to consult your eye doctor.

There are an estimated 40,000 sports and recreation-related eye injuries each year
and the majority of them happen to children.
Over 50% of people over the age of 60, and quite a few who are even younger than that, suffer from cataracts or cloudy lenses inside their eyes.
Cataracts interfere with activities like reading, gardening, golfing, and night driving can be difficult.
Cataract sufferers may also be troubled by bothersome glares, halos around lights, and even monocular double vision.

Is this your vision?
The best cataract surgeons in Dubai can attest that over 50% of people over the age of 60, and quite a few even younger than that, suffer from cataracts. When cataracts form, activities like reading, gardening, golfing, or driving become difficult.
Cataract sufferers are usually troubled by bothersome glares, halos around lights, or even monocular double vision.
As the cataract worsens, eyeglass prescriptions may be needed more frequently even if the prescriptions were stable for several years.
A cataract is the natural lens inside the eye that became cloudy or discoloured. The clarity of light passing through the eye’s lens to the retina is thus disturbed and the image sent to the brain is dull and blurred.
Although they can occur in young people, most cataracts are a normal part of aging.
As we mature, gradual changes occur to the focusing lens inside the eye. Prior to young adulthood the lens is soft, flexible and clear. At about age 45 the lens begins to harden, change color and may turn cloudy, usually resulting in the need for reading glasses or bifocals.
As we continue to mature, the lens continue to change. Blurring and glare can get worse until stronger glasses no longer help and a cataract operation in Dubai is required to provide clear vision again.
How can cataracts be treated?
– Stronger eyeglasses.
Up to a point, stronger eyeglass prescriptions can adjust for vision changes due to cataracts. Eventually, the only effective treatment of a cataract is the surgical removal of the clouded lens.
The lens opacity cannot be cleared by eye drops, medication, eye exercises or laser treatment.
Modern cataract surgery in Dubai is one of the most successful operations performed all around the world.
Cataract surgery is also the most common eye surgical procedure done in the world today.
– Cataract Surgery
Your cataract will be removed with an advanced technique called phacoemulcification, or small incision cataract surgery.
After applying a local anesthetic, the cataract surgery doctor in Dubai will make a ‘stair-stepped’ incision of about 3-4 mm on the side of the front part of the eye. The cataract is then broken or emulsified into microscopic particles using high energy sound waves. It will then be gently suctioned from the eye.
To compensate for the removal of the eye’s natural lens, a calculated intra-ocular lens (IOL) is implanted into the eye. After using this special ‘stair-stepped’; incision, you may receive one, several or even no stitches. This type of incision is mostly self-sealing, stronger, heals faster and remains tightly sealed by the natural outward pressure within your eye.
Everyone heals somewhat differently, but many patients report improvement in their vision almost immediately after their cataract surgery in the UAE. Most patients return to their normal work and lifestyle within a day or two or even a week.
Many patients experience vision that is actually better than before they developed cataracts. Once the cataract is removed, however, some patients may experience clouding again of a thin tissue called a capsule or “bag” that holds the IOL. In most cases, a laser is used to open the clouded capsule and restore clear vision painlessly.
