Conditions Dr. Galal Swilem Helps Evaluate and Treat

Dr. Galal Swilem helps evaluate and follow up several conditions related to cataract and glaucoma, and the doctor determines the suitable plan after examination.

Cataract

Cataract may cause gradual blurred vision or difficulty seeing clearly, especially while reading or driving. A medical examination helps evaluate how much it affects vision and determine the suitable next step.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma requires careful follow-up of eye pressure and the optic nerve condition, because the suitable plan differs according to examination results and the stage of the condition.

High Eye Pressure

Some patients may need eye pressure measurement and additional examinations to assess the possibility of a glaucoma-related issue or the need for regular follow-up.

Blurred Vision and Reduced Visual Clarity

Blurred vision may be related to several causes, including cataract or other eye problems. Examination helps understand the cause and determine the suitable procedure.

Eye Examination Before Determining the Plan

An eye examination helps assess the lens, eye pressure, and the general condition of the eye, especially when there are persistent symptoms, chronic diseases, or a family history of glaucoma.

Medical note: The suitable treatment cannot be determined based on symptoms alone. The doctor determines the plan after examination and medical evaluation.
