Perennial water shedding from eyes is no longer incurable. It was considered that there is no cure for this complaint.
This defect arises due to not functioning of the canals of tears in the eyes.
Earlier, it was thought that the canals of tears, which open in nose and throat are not formed right from the beginning.
Dr.Mohammed Javeed Ali, the international famous Dacryologist and consultant of LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad found out that these canals don’t disappear from the eyes of the patients who suffer from continuous tear shedding. Such canals are present in the eyes of such patients but they are not open.
Dr.Javeed Ali has denoted this defect. He has also offered explanation for it to the medical world.
Dr.Javeed Ali has not only detected this defect, he has found out its treatment also.
In this connection, his research article has been published in British Medical Journal LANCET.
This defect is called “incomplete punctal canalization– the EM and IM variations”.
Talking to staff reporter of Siasat, Dr.Javeed Ali told that eyes of some patients seem to be full of tears always because water coming out of eyes doesn’t get a way to go out. A healthy eye has canals for tears which open in the inner portion of nose and throat. Whenever, there are tears in the eyes of a person, they pass through these canals and reach the throat.
There are some persons whose eyes are always full of tears, due to which they see the things blurred. When water is in excess it flows from the eyes.
So, far eye specialists used to think that this defect is due to non-availability of canals.
He told that it is not so. There are canals but due to incomplete growth they are not seen, due to which the hole on the surface of the eye gets closed. He told that it is now possible to detect this defect. It could be set right by a simple surgery.
He told that by clearing the surface of these canals, the hole could be opened by which the complaint of shedding tears continuously could be put to an end.
He told that LV Prasad Eye Institute has designed a special apparatus for performing this surgery. He told that such patients used to lead their lives with this defect.
He is the only expert in the entire world for this kind of surgery. Last month, he treated the speaker of Bangladesh Parliament Mr.Shoukat Ali.
Dr.Javeed Ali is also an expert in facial plastic surgery. Since it is prohibited in Islam, he doesn’t pay attention to it.
Dr.Javeed Ali is also the specialist of eye cancer.
He became famous in the early age of 34 years. He is busy in research of the eye problems.
