Doctor Wong has been consulting in Melbourne as an eye doctor for over 10 years, providing general ophthalmology treatment for adults and children, and specialized treatment for squints. Dr Wong is a specialist in strabismus or squint surgery, as well as a general ophthalmologist for both adult and pediatric patients. Generally, squint treatment requires specialized eye muscle surgery, though there are cases where medication, vision therapy or vision aids are used. Strabismus surgery is a normal procedure and most patients will see a significant improvement in the alignment of their eyes behind surgery. The eye is never removed to perform strabismus surgery and neither is the eyeball cut open. Cataract surgery is a normal procedure and most patients will see a important improvement in the alignment of their eyes behind surgery. The cost of cataract surgery varies from one doctor to the following it also depends on the type of procedure and intraocular lens you and your cataract surgeon decide is best for your needs. The orthoptist will then test your vision and eye muscles with various tests, as required. The visual field is the complete area of vision that is seen out of each eye, including the corners (peripheral vision). A peripheral vision test can be conducted simply by the doctor through gradually moving an object toward the patient’s center of vision from above, below, left, and right. This exam allows the doctor to see areas at the fore of the eye: including the eyelids, conjunctiva, iris, lens, sclera, and cornea. Eye conditions include all conditions of the visual pathways, including the eye, brain, and areas surrounding the eye. Cataracts can be caused by eye injury, eye diseases and even some medication, but the majority of cataracts are simply a result of aging. Fresh cataract surgery involves the removal of the diseased cataract through a small incision, and a replacement lens being inserted. Chalazion is a cyst in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a blocked gland, usually on the upper eyelid. Symptoms typically include a redness in the white of the eye, greater tear production, a release from the eyes, itchy eyes, light sensitivity and blurry vision. Dry eyes is a condition where the eyes do not bear sufficient lubricating tears. With amblyopia, however, one image is not as appropriate as the other which leads the brain to Cavour one image above the other. The macular is an area at the back of the eye (retina) where light is focused. There are six muscles to oversee the movement of each eyeball. Neuroophthalmologic disorders may also involve dysfunction of the central pathways that control and integrate eye movement and vision. A squint is frequently a result of poor coordination between the muscles controlling the eyes, either due to a disorder of the muscle(s) or sometimes a problem of the brain controlling the eyes. With children it is urgent to get a squint treated as soon as possible as it will affect development of vision permanently. Double vision is typically the result of the eye muscles not active properly ravage to the eye muscles or nerves prevents both eyes focusing simulteously on the target.
