Cataract is a condition characterized by the clouding and loss of elasticity of the eye's lens - usually a result of the natural aging process of the lens, hence many suffer from it in their later years (typically after 60 years of age). These changes interfere with the formation of a clear and sharp image, affecting the quality of vision.
Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, is a common disease that affects the optic nerve, whose prevalence increases with age: at the age of 80, it affects about 10% of the population. Often, people suffering from glaucoma are unaware of the problem, as it usually progresses without symptoms.
Good news for glaucoma patients come from the Meir Medical Center of Clalit Health Services, ever since the glaucoma specialist Dr. Avner Belkin started working at the hospital. The focus is on new, minimally invasive surgeries that prevent vision deterioration.
Dr. Avner Belkin operates on glaucoma - a condition that can lead to vision loss - without stitches and with a faster and easier recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Glaucoma is a common disease that can lead to irreversible vision loss. It is caused by the death of optic nerve cells, usually due to high intraocular pressure. What is the prevalence of glaucoma and how is it diagnosed? What treatment methods exist and what are the chances of preserving vision in the long term? Dr. Avner Belkin, head of the glaucoma service at Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba, explains.
