Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Difficulty seeing close objects clearly.
Astigmatism: Blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea or lens.
Presbyopia: An age-related condition where the lens of the eye loses its flexibility, making it difficult to focus on close objects, typically occurring around age 40 or older.
Cataracts: Clouding of the lens inside the eye, leading to blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and difficulty seeing at night. Cataracts commonly occur with aging but can also develop due to injury, certain medications, or other health conditions.
Glaucoma: A group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure within the eye. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss or blindness.
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD): A progressive condition affecting the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. AMD can cause blurred or distorted vision, leading to difficulty with tasks such as reading and driving.
Diabetic Retinopathy: A complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. It can cause vision loss, ranging from mild blurriness to complete blindness, if left untreated.
Dry Eye Syndrome: A condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, irritation, and discomfort.
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): Inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the white part of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids. Symptoms may include redness, itching, discharge, and tearing.
Strabismus: A condition where the eyes do not align properly, causing one eye to look in a different direction than the other.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Reduced vision in one eye due to abnormal visual development during childhood, often occurring when one eye is weaker than the other or there is a misalignment of the eyes.
Retinal Detachment: A medical emergency where the retina pulls away from its normal position, leading to vision loss if not promptly treated.
It's essential to seek professional medical advice if you experience any eye problems or changes in vision to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Regular eye exams are also crucial for maintaining eye health and detecting any issues early.
