EYE RELATED PROBLEMS
1. Presbyopia
Loss of the ability to clearly see close objects or small print.
You may not notice any change until after age 40.
Presbyopia is often corrected with reading glasses.
2. Floaters
These are tiny spots or specks that float across the field of vision, noticed in a lighted environment. If you notice a sudden change in the type or number of spots or flashes you see, visit your eye doctor as soon as possible.
3. Dry eyes
This condition develops when tear glands cannot make enough tears or produce poor quality tears.
Surgery may be needed in more serious cases of dry eyes.
4. Tearing
Having too many tears can come from being sensitive to light, wind, or temperature changes.
Tearing may also mean that you have a more serious problem, such as an eye infection or a blocked tear duct.
5. Cataracts
Cataracts are cloudy areas that cover part of or the entire lens.
Cataracts often form slowly, causing no pain, redness or tearing in the eye.
Some stay small do not alter eyesight. If they become large or thick, can usually be removed by surgery.
6. Glaucoma
It occurs when the normal flow of the watery fluid between the cornea and the lens of the eye is blocked.
This can lead to permanent vision loss. Glaucoma is less commonly caused by other factors such as injury, or eye infection.
Because most people with glaucoma have no early symptoms or pain.
7. Retinal disorders
Retinal disorders interrupt this transfer of images.
Early diagnosis and treatment of these conditions is important to maintain vision.
8. Conjunctivitis
Here the tissue that lines the eyelids and covers the cornea becomes inflamed.
Sometimes called “pink eye” or “red eye." It can cause redness, itching, burning & tearing.
Conjunctivitis occurs in all age groups and can be caused by infection, exposure or allergies.
9. Corneal diseases
Cornea helps to focus light that enters the eye.
Disease, infection, injury, and exposure to toxic agents can damage the cornea causing eye redness, watery eyes or a halo effect.
Treatments include making adjustments to the eyeglass prescription, using medicated eye drops, or having surgery.
10. Eyelid problems
The eyelids protect the eye, distribute tears, & limit the amount of light entering the eye.
Pain, itching, tearing, & sensitivity to light are common symptoms of eyelid problems.
Other problems may include drooping eyelids, blinking spasms.
Eyelid problems often can be treated with medication or surgery.
