Globally, Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the third most common cause of ‘legal’ blindness (WHO 2002) whilst in most western countries it is by far the commonest cause of blindness. Macular degeneration usually manifests after 50 years of age. With the rapid rise in the geriatric age group, which is the at risk group, the disorder could take epidemic proportions and become a major public health consideration.

Sight is our most precious sense enabling us to enjoy the beauty of the world in which we live. Blindness has been recognized as an important public health problem in India, a country that is now home to a billion inhabitants. A nationwide survey, undertaken in 1999-2001, revealed the prevalence of blindness to be 8.5%. Over 60% of blindness has been attributed to cataract alone.
For centuries, developing cataract doomed a person to blindness. Today modern microsurgical techniques utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, lenses and surgical material, allow people to enjoy good, clear vision after their cataracts have been removed. We at Shreya Eye Centre believe that giving up favorite activities and suffering through years of poor vision due to cataract is no longer an inevitable part of the ageing process. Our centre is dedicated to provide the best possible care to patients suffering from cataract.

What is ‘Low Vision’?
A person is said to have ‘Low Vision’, if he or she has a significant visual handicap in spite of treatment and best correction with standard eyeglasses or contact lenses. ‘Low Vision’ should not be confused with blindness. People with ‘Low Vision’ have a significant visual handicap but they also have significant residual vision. The residual vision may be insufficient to meet the patient’s routine needs. But a good percentage of these patients have some degree of usable vision, which can be utilized for their day to day work using special aids or devices. If properly motivated, these patients can potentially benefit with the use of special aids or devices called ‘Low Vision Aids’

What Is Uveitis?
Uveitis (pronounced U’VE-I’TIS) means “inflammation of the uveal tract”, or the middle layer of the eye. It is an immunologically mediated reaction in the uveal tract leading to its inflammation. It is important to clarify that there is no infection in uveitis. Uveitis may be an isolated problem or may be associated with inflammation in other parts of the body. It may be a single episode in some patients while in others it may have a tendency to be chronic and recurrent. We therefore thoroughly investigate a patient of uveitis to find a possible cause for this inflammation and its prognosis. To understand about uveitis and its seriousness, it may also be helpful to know the basic anatomy of this tissue of the eye.
