Eye Conditions
The human eye is amazing; it acts as our "window" to the outside world and is how we primarily process our experiences. It is made up of numerous microscopic structures that work together to enable us to view the environment around us, and it is also extremely sensitive and intricate. Over time, problems could develop that could affect your vision. These ailments range from simple ones like conjunctivitis (pink eye) to serious ones like cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. Only a few of the most common types of eye illness are listed below. For more, see the sidebar.
AMD
For people 65 and older, age-related macular degeneration is the most frequent cause of legal blindness. The macula, the sensitive central region of the retina responsible for fine vision (reading, driving, identifying faces), color perception, and facial recognition, is impacted by this disorder.
Cataracts
When the natural lens of your eye becomes hazy over time, a cataract develops. Your vision can become cloudy, fuzzy, or less vibrant as a result of this. Surgery is a very effective way to treat cataracts, allowing patients to regain their quality of life after a quick and easy procedure.
Diabetic Retinopathy
The most frequent cause of vision loss in people with diabetes and the main factor contributing to vision impairment and blindness in working-age adults is diabetic retinopathy. Between 40 and 45 percent of people with diabetes already have diabetic retinopathy to some extent.
Glaucoma
Since it frequently has no symptoms in its early stages, glaucoma is frequently characterized to as "the silent thief of sight." In fact, about 50% of people with glaucoma are unaware they have it. Although glaucoma usually results in irreversible visual loss, if the condition is treated early enough, vision loss can be avoided.
