Dr. Hazem El Hamzawy helps assess and treat a number of conditions related to cataract, glaucoma, and the anterior segment. The doctor determines the suitable plan after medical examination.
Cataract usually appears as blurred vision, difficulty with night vision, or a gradual change in vision quality. Medical examination helps determine the degree of lens opacity and whether follow-up or surgery is needed.
Some cataract cases require more accurate assessment, especially if they are accompanied by other eye problems or previous medical history. The doctor determines the suitable plan according to the lens condition, eye pressure, and overall eye health.
Glaucoma is one of the conditions that may affect the optic nerve over time, and it often requires regular follow-up of eye pressure, optic nerve examination, and visual field testing. The doctor determines the treatment or follow-up plan after examination.
Some glaucoma cases may require surgical intervention or modern devices according to the severity of the condition and the eye’s response to treatment. The suitable option is determined after a comprehensive assessment.
In some cases, cataract may occur together with high eye pressure or glaucoma. In this situation, the patient needs specialized assessment to determine whether the condition requires one procedure or a gradual treatment plan.
The doctor’s experience may include assessing cases that require intraocular lens implantation, whether in cataract cases or some special cases that require choosing the suitable lens type after examination.
The anterior segment includes the cornea, lens, and iris. Some cases may need specialized assessment when the problem affects vision, eye comfort, or surgical outcomes.
Phaco is one of the techniques used in cataract removal by breaking up the opaque lens and removing it, then implanting an intraocular lens when needed. The doctor determines whether this technique is suitable for each case after examination.
Medical note: The suitable treatment cannot be determined based on symptoms alone. The doctor determines the plan after examination and medical assessment.
