More About Dr Steyn

Eye Conditions

Cataract

A cataract is an opacification of the lens in the eye. This leads to a progressive decline in vision. People with cataracts often feel as if they are looking through a dirty window.

Pterygium

A pterygium is a growth on the surface of the eye. It starts on the white part (sclera) of the eye, and eventually grows over the clear part (cornea) of the eye. A pterygium can cause problems in various ways.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a condition in which high pressure inside the eye progressively damages the optic nerve. The optic nerve sends the visual signal from the eye to the brain and damage to the nerve leads to visual loss.

Age Related Macular Degeneration

Age related macular degeneration, also known as AMD, is a condition in which there are deposits in the fine vision area of the eye. There are two major types of AMD: wet and dry.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes can affect the eye is various ways, but diabetic retinopathy is the most important as it can lead to blindness. In diabetic retinopathy, the small blood vessels of the retina is damaged and this leads to either leakage, blockage or new vessel growth; all of which can lead to visual loss and blindness.

Strabismus/Squint

Strabismus is the name given to eyes that are not straight. In strabismus one or both of the eyes may turn and not look straight ahead.
