Myopia can make your world blurry!
You may sometimes find it difficult to read things that are at a little
distance from you! The condition is identified as myopia in medical terms and
should never be taken casually, being a progressive disorder. Myopia can be
referred to as a nearsightedness is generally expressed with the symptoms like
squinting, eye strain, headaches that may lead to blurry central vision. The
condition can be very common and generally be managed with the help of contact
lenses or glasses. Although myopia, if not cured or managed within initial time
frame, the pathological myopia may lead to degenerative Eye Disorders, such as
retinal detachment or glaucoma.
Unfortunately,
more and more people are being affected by the nearsightedness and the reason
behind it is not well proved. Many eye doctors answer that it might have something
to do with eye fatigue from computer use and other extended near vision tasks,
coupled with a genetic predisposition for myopia. Myopia occurs when the
eyeball is too long, in comparison to the focusing power of the cornea and lens
of the eye. This causes light rays to focus at a point in front of the retina, rather than directly on its surface. Nearsightedness
also can be caused by the cornea and/or lens being too curved for the length of the
eyeball. In some cases, myopia is due to a combination of these factors.
Myopia
can be exhibited in a very young age for individuals with genetic
predisposition. A pathological myopia
can be referred to as a condition with very high myopia, showing signs and
symptoms of degenerative changes at the back of your eye; leading to the
eyesight reduction. Some of the degenerative conditions that are related to
myopia can be listed as follows:
Retinal
Atrophy
The
over stretching of retina can cause it to be thinner, leading to the retinal
atrophy. The areas of retina that have been thinned down can affect the
structural as well as functional integrity of eye due to major cellular loss.
The condition can be judged with pale look of the retina and visibly apparent
blood vessels behind the retina. If the condition is ignored for a longer
period of time, it may lead to blind patches or sight loss.
Lattice
Regeneration
Lattice
regeneration can be attributed to the thinning of certain parts of the retina,
preferably at the edge; the cause of which is yet to be identified. Some
specialists think it to be because of dryness or harmful sunrays, and hence
offer laser therapy and/or cryotherapy in order to prevent further progression
to retinal detachment.
New
Blood vessel formation
In
some people new blood vessels can grow underneath the retina, generally
referred to as neovascularization. It is to be noted that these vessels are
very tiny as well as fragile that are susceptible to the leakage; causing
retinal damage and swelling.
The traditional treatment
approach is not successful in reversing the damage to the tissue; but with the
great progress in the field of stem cells, it is now possible to bring back the
normal vision using easy and natural process.
Stem cells are the naive cells of the body, which are
able to differentiate into many types of cells if directed through proper
channel. Thus, stem cells isolated from your own tissues such as bone marrow or
adipose tissues can be channelized to be corneal cells, photoreceptor cells,
optic nerves, muscle cells etc. in the eye to regain its normal function back.
Patients suffering from different eye related ailments are
treated by implanting stem cells through retro bulbar or other effective mode
to obtain maximum recovery. Advancells is excited by the prodigious prospects
of stem cells in treating various diseases; hence we are constantly updating
our knowledge and technology to suit unique specifications of each patient. Our
principle objective has always been a cessation of disease progress and easing
the quality of life to a considerable extent. We are always pledged to deliver
safe treatment pattern, by offering "Autologous stem cells from your own
Bone Marrow/Adipose Tissue"
