The global advertising market is oversaturated with poor quality \u201ceye health\u201d products.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisers often claim that their miracle drugs are able to cure serious chronic diseases, and that advice from an eye doctor is not needed at all. The popular quote &#8220;<strong>Self-medication can be harmful to your health<\/strong>&#8221; is not paid due attention, lost in the face of bright advertising images.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are the Risks Posed to Patients?<\/h2>\n<p>To save money and avoid eye surgery, many people are looking for miracle drugs, but those do not only fail to cure, but lead to visual impairment. Often, such drugs are completely unfamiliar to medical practitioners, and sometimes they are not even medicinal products.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not want to hurt or even lose your vision, refrain from buying the dietary supplements which have not been approved by practicing ophthalmologists.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Defend Ourselves against the Manipulation of Advertising?<\/h2>\n<p>First of all, we should remember that there is no cure for all diseases! And that advertising can be a form of brainwashing, but drug commercials rob patients making them pay twice. Instilling a false feeling of recovery, psychological and emotional manipulation to make a customer self-medicate and harmful influence on the already suffering psyche &#8211; this is the risk those people put themselves at who run to a drugstore after watching a commercial, without consulting their eye doctor first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are two types of eye diseases:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Those which can be treated with medication or with other non-surgical medical procedures;<\/li>\n<li>Those for which surgery is the only option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The age-related diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts require surgery. It is impossible to cure them with medicines, and the sooner a patient turns to a qualified ophthalmologist for help, the greater the chance is that there will be no complications after the surgery.<\/p>\n<h2>Do not self-treat your eyes!<\/h2>\n<p>Eye diseases are diverse in terms of quantity and symptoms. So,  <strong>only an ophthalmologist can make an accurate diagnosis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Okomedikas Clinic`s eye specialists have extensive experience in treating a wide variety of eye diseases using high-precision equipment, which allows them to establish the most accurate diagnosis and perform complex eye surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>At our Clinic you can have <a href=\"\/uslugi\/konsultaciya-i-diagnostika\/\">a comprehensive, contactless eye examination<\/a> individual treatment plan.<br \/>\nTake care of your eyes today and be healthy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an eye disease which damages the central, most important part of the retina &#8211; the macula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3537,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"class_list":["post-5133","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<title>Self-Medication in Ophthalmology -
