Conditions

The following information is only meant to serve as a rough guide. For more detailed information specific to your condition, please consult Dr Deepa Taranath on your next visit. Click the cards below to read more about each condition.

  • Pediatrics

Paediatric Ophthalmology

Specialized care for diagnosing and managing various eye conditions and vision issues in children.

Paediatric ophthalmology is a specialised area in ophthalmology that aims to diagnose and manage the various eye conditions and vision issues in children. Unlike the mature visual pathway of an adult, a child’s visual pathway continues to develop until they are about 7-8 years old. It is therefore important that possible disruptions to this development be detected and managed early so as to optimise the child’s visual potential.

  • Pediatrics

Amblyopia

Reduced vision in one or both eyes due to abnormal development of the visual pathway.

Amblyopia is a term used for the reduced vision in one or both eyes due to abnormal development of the visual pathway. If not diagnosed and treated early, it can be a cause of permanent visual impairment in children or later as an adult. Common causes for amblyopia include: refractive errors, strabismus, and ocular pathology. Treatment may involve patching therapy or atropine penalisation.
  • Pediatrics

Myopia Control

Treatment to slow the progression of shortsightedness in children.

Strabismus refers to a misalignment of the eyes where one does not appear straight when looking at an image. The misaligned eye may appear to drift inwards, outwards, up or even downwards. Treatment options include conservative management with prisms or orthoptic exercises, Botox, or eye muscle surgery.
  • Pediatrics

Hemifacial Spasms and Blepharospasms

Persistent, involuntary contraction of facial muscles or chronic eyelid twitching.

Hemifacial spasm describes the persistent, involuntary contraction of facial muscles on one side of the face; similarly, blepharospasm pertains to chronic eyelid twitching. One possible treatment is Botox injections into affected muscles, which usually last between 3-4 months.
  • Pediatrics
  • Adults

Cataract

Clouding of the natural lens causing increasingly blurry vision.

A cataract occurs when the natural lens in the eye becomes cloudy, causing vision to become increasingly blurry. The only definitive treatment for cataract is surgery, which involves extracting the cataract from the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens implant.

  • Pediatrics
  • Adults

Pterygium

Benign, fleshy growth across the clear part of the eye.

Pterygium is the benign, fleshy growth across the clear part of the eye, known as the conjunctiva. It is commonly associated with UV exposure, windy environments, and age. The only definitive treatment involves surgical excision with conjunctival autograft.

  • Pediatrics
  • Adults

Genetic Eye Diseases

Inherited conditions affecting different parts of the eyes.

There are a number of inherited or genetic conditions that can affect different parts of the eyes. Some affect the front of the eye, others affect the photoreceptors at the back of the eyes, and there are also hereditary optic nerve disorders.
  • Pediatrics
  • Adults

Eyelid Issues

Various conditions affecting the eyelids and surrounding areas.

There are various conditions that can affect the eyelids including ptosis (droopy eyelids), ectropion/entropion (eyelid turning out or in), and other eyelid malpositions that may require surgical correction.
  • Pediatrics
  • Adults

Strabismus

Misalignment of the eyes where one eye does not appear straight.

Strabismus refers to a misalignment of the eyes where one does not appear straight when looking at an image. The misaligned eye may appear to drift inwards, outwards, up or even downwards. Treatment options include conservative management with prisms or orthoptic exercises, Botox, or eye muscle surgery.
  • Adults

General Ophthalmology

Comprehensive eye care for various conditions requiring ongoing management.

There are a number of eye conditions that may impact vision and require continual management and monitoring. These may include glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic eye diseases and uveitis. You may also need ongoing eye monitoring if you are being managed on certain long-term medications.
