This document discusses various treatment techniques for visual impairment. It outlines considering factors like the degree of impairment and patient's health and development. Potential treatments include cataract surgery to replace clouded lenses, controlling diabetes to prevent worsening retinopathy, and using magnification systems or prisms. For glaucoma, eye drop medications containing prostaglandin analogues are prescribed. Overall prevention through healthy habits is emphasized to keep eyes functioning well into the future.

Usually an artificial lens is placed within the eye as a replacement of the damaged and clouded lens. This, more often than not restores vision. Control of diabetes – This prevents progression of diabetic retinopathy and resulting visual impairment to some extent. Magnification systems – This is achieved using appropriate lens, reading telescopes or surgical systems etc. Hand magnifiers may also be offered. For improvement of visual fields prisms and mirror systems may be prescribed. Glaucoma – medications in eye drops are prescribed to control glaucoma. These may contain drugs like Latanoprost, tafluprost, travoprost which are prostaglandin analogues. conclusion One of the most important organ in our body is our eye.We took it for granted because it is functioning correctilly in the present.But we have no guarante that our eyes will continue to function correctilly in the future.The good news is we are not victims that we don't have control over what happens to our eyes.The key is on our hands.So we should do eveything we can to keep our eyes healthy and appliying methods I have listed in the section four will help a lot.Finally I going to finish by this saying: prevention is better than cure.
