Description:
- There are various eye disorders that can affect the health and function of the eyes. Here are a few common eye disorders:
- Refractive Errors: These include conditions like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and presbyopia. These disorders affect the ability of the eye to focus properly, resulting in blurred vision.
- Cataracts: Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurry or foggy vision. It is often associated with aging but can also result from certain medical conditions, medications, or eye injuries.
- Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually due to high pressure within the eye. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss.
- Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): AMD is a progressive condition that affects the macula, the central part of the retina. It can cause a gradual loss of central vision, which can make it difficult to read or recognize faces.
- Diabetic Retinopathy: It is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. Over time, these blood vessels may leak or become blocked, leading to vision problems or even blindness.
- Dry Eye Syndrome: This condition occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. It can cause discomfort, redness, and blurred vision.
