What are the ophthalmology progress?
Ophthalmology has made much progress in recent years through numerous advances that have allowed us to decrease the eyesight of people. From all of these you have to separate the medications that are injected in intraocular manner and that allow you to treat many diseases that needed surgery before. These types of treatments are a big leap in the treatment of retinal diseases.
One of the biggest steps forward with regard to the surgery has also occurred through the invention of various types of lasers that help many interventions. An interesting case is that of the femtosecond laser that is part of refractive surgery for some years and which is improving very surgery for cataracts.
What are the results of these advances?
These advances, also together with others, have made sure that today the surgery has become more and more precise and the incisions are smaller and smaller. Furthermore, the visual results are changing, thus favoring a shorter postoperative recovery for patients. In any case, however, not be forgotten that the first weapon to good treatment is the knowledge and professionalism of doctors.
There are other possible progress?
Another key to the future is the genetic research to discover the molecular basis of each eye disease, including possible genetic therapies. These therapies represent in a few years the development of drugs intraocular slow release. These are the immediate results that we have been until now, but if we must make further progress must also think about the prevention of these diseases.
How to promote prevention?
Research and prevention are the two major challenges in this area. For this reason foundations were created in Spain promoting the research of specialists in eye care. Through these foundations it is thus possible to work for the prevention, so as to inform people about what is needed to fight certain diseases of the eyes, or at least to delay or to improve their prognosis.
Why the healthy habits and regular check are the two great messages of preventive policy. This information must be disclosed to all, especially to those at risk.
