Diagnosis involves a physical examination, imaging tests (ultrasound or CT scan), and blood tests to confirm inflammation.

The S. IgA Test measures Immunoglobulin A levels to assess immune function and diagnose immune disorders.

No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm, which is then analyzed for IgA levels.

Low levels may suggest an IgA deficiency or other immune system disorders.

Results are typically available within a few hours to one day, depending on the lab’s processing time.

Ophthalmologists treat a wide range of conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and refractive errors like nearsightedness and farsightedness.

Adults should have a comprehensive eye exam at least once every two years, or more frequently if advised by your eye doctor based on your age, health, and risk factors.

Signs include blurred vision, difficulty seeing objects up close or far away, frequent headaches, eye strain, and squinting.

An eye exam involves tests for visual acuity, assessment of eye muscle function, pupil response, and examination of the retina and optic nerve. It may include dilation to allow a better view of the back of the eye.

Regular eye exams, maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, protecting your eyes from UV rays with sunglasses, and avoiding smoking can help reduce the risk of eye diseases.
