What Are Vision Impairments?

Vision impairments are conditions where the eye cannot focus light properly, resulting in blurred or unclear images. These issues affect quality of life but are highly treatable with accurate diagnosis and modern solutions. At Op. Dr. Yıldız Acar Ebcim’s clinic, we offer cutting-edge treatments to help restore your vision and comfort.

Types and Causes

• Myopia (Nearsightedness): Clear near vision, blurry distance vision. Caused by an elongated eyeball or curved cornea.
• Hypermetropia (Farsightedness): Clear distant vision, difficulty seeing close-up. Caused by short eyeball or flat cornea.
• Astigmatism: Blurred vision due to irregular lens or corneal shape.
• Presbyopia: Age-related near vision loss due to loss of lens flexibility.
• Cataracts: Clouding of the eye’s lens due to aging or UV exposure.
• Glaucoma: Increased eye pressure that can damage the optic nerve.

Symptoms

• Blurred or double vision
• Faded colors
• Night vision problems
• Sensitivity to light and glare
• Narrowed visual field
• Eye strain and headaches

Treatment Methods

• 1. Glasses & Contact Lenses: Most common method for refractive errors
• 2. Refractive Surgery: Includes LASIK, PRK, LASEK, and SMILE to reshape the cornea
• 3. ICL (Implantable Contact Lenses): Ideal for high-degree myopia/hypermetropia
• 4. Specialized Laser Treatments: Toric lasers for astigmatism, multifocal lasers for presbyopia
• 5. Cataract Surgery: Lens replacement with artificial intraocular lens (IOL)
