About Dr Ashwini Karanjgaonkar, Best Ophthalmologist in Mahim

Healthy adults should get a comprehensive eye exam every 1 to 2 years, depending on age, health history, and whether they wear corrective lenses. While routine eye exams help update your prescription, they are also critical for catching early signs of silent degenerative diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.

You can know if you have cataracts by watching for gradual vision changes, like clouded or blurry vision. Colours may appear faded, and there may be increased glare or halos around lights, especially when driving at night. Cataracts also cause your prescription to change frequently in a short period.

Diabetic eye disease can be treated effectively, but it cannot be cured. Treatments for diabetic eye disease aim to stop the disease from progressing, preserve your current vision, and, if possible, even restore lost vision. Diabetic eye disease treatment involves eye injections, laser therapy, and Vitrectomy surgery (for advanced cases where there is severe bleeding in the eye or retinal scarring).

Flashes and floaters are common visual symptoms. Floaters may appear as tiny dots, threads, or cobweb-like shadows drifting across your vision, while flashes can look like brief sparks or streaks of light.

Although often harmless, a sudden increase in floaters or flashes may indicate a retinal problem that requires immediate eye examination.

Squint, or strabismus, is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned and may look in different directions. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward.

It can affect both children and adults and may impact vision development and depth perception if left untreated. Treatment options include glasses, exercises, or surgery depending on the condition.

A cataract is a gradual clouding of the natural lens inside the eye, leading to blurred or dim vision. Common symptoms include difficulty reading, glare from lights, faded colors, and poor night vision.

Cataracts usually develop with age but can be effectively treated with a safe and advanced surgical procedure to restore clear vision.

Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. It usually develops slowly and may not show early symptoms, which is why it is often called the “silent thief of sight.”

Regular eye check-ups are important for early detection and timely treatment to help prevent permanent vision loss.
