Your eyes can tell more than your story… they can also tell a lot about your HEALTH.

Docs can assess a lot about your overall health by just examining your eyes and literally pinpoint the discomfort you may be feeling before you reveal it to the doc yourself.

For example, sometimes you may sleep well and your eyes may be white and clear, BUT you may feel a tingly sensation right after you wake up. This may be because you have some very subtle punctate erosions on the surface of your cornea that you need to get checked out and treated. 

Don’t turn a blind eye to any pain or irritation you may be feeling in your eyes!

Once you’re up and at it, normal blinking will spread your natural tear over the surface of the eye, reducing dryness and discomfort. However, you would deffo require proper medical attention and treatment to heal the condition. The treatment for such a condition would not only include eye lubricants, but a referral to experts.

Some of these classical associations are diabetes and hypertension. The eye doctor can tell how good or bad your sugar or blood pressure control has been, just by looking inside that little window called the pupil. 

Well trained and expert docs at Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai will not only give you appropriate advice for your eyes but also refer you to the right doctor, in order to have a comprehensive approach to your problem.

Examples of common associations:

• If you suffer a sudden drop in your vision and you are diagnosed with vascular occlusion in your retina, you could find you have high cholesterol and other cardiovascular conditions
• If the whites of your eyes get yellow, this may be a sign of liver problems
• If your eyes are red, painful and your vision is impaired and you are diagnosed with a condition called uveitis, this could be because of rheumatic diseases
• Itchy red eyes can be due to flare-ups of certain skin conditions, like atopic dermatitis or rosacea

Guess what? The hospital now offers a wide range of eyewear and vision care products including prescription eyeglasses and advanced contact lenses for both children and adults.
