Silmänsisäisen

Silmänsisäisen is a Finnish term that translates to "intraocular" in English. It refers to something located within the eyeball. This adjective is commonly used in ophthalmology to describe conditions, procedures, or structures that pertain to the interior of the eye.

For instance, "silmänsisäisen paineen" refers to intraocular pressure, the fluid pressure within the eye. High intraocular pressure is a key risk factor for glaucoma. "Silmänsisäisen leikkauksen" means intraocular surgery, which includes procedures performed inside the eyeball, such as cataract surgery or retinal surgery. Another example is "silmänsisäisen linssin," referring to an intraocular lens (IOL), an artificial lens implanted in the eye, typically during cataract surgery to restore vision. The term can also be used to describe pathologies, such as "silmänsisäinen tulehdus" or endophthalmitis, an inflammation or infection within the eyeball. Understanding "silmänsäisen" is crucial for comprehending various eye conditions and treatments.
