A cataract is when the lens of your eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurry and hazy vision. If you are experiencing these symptoms, consider seeing your optometrist.
Glaucoma is when the fluid pressure in your eye builds up. This increase in eye pressure will push against your optic nerve and damage them. As these nerves die, blind spots will develop in your vision.
Dry eyes are a common condition when your eyes are unable to produce enough tears to lubricate your eyes. Chronic dry eyes may lead to damage to the eyes.
Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that causes vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetes. If you have diabetes, or have a family history, it is important to get an eye exam at least once a year.
As people age, the skin and muscles of the eyelids stretch and weaken, potentially leading to an obstruction of vision. Ptosis could also be a side effect after certain surgeries.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is when the retina is damaged. This damage leads to the loss of central vision and ability to see fine details. It can develop into a serious issue if untreated.
