There are numerous eye diseases that can affect the health and function of the eyes. Some common eye diseases include;
Cataracts: A condition where the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, resulting in blurry vision and sensitivity to light.
Glaucoma: A condition that damages the optic nerve and can cause vision loss, often due to increased pressure within the eye.
Macular degeneration: A condition that affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. This can cause a loss of vision in the center of the visual field.
Diabetic retinopathy: A condition that affects people with diabetes, causing damage to the blood vessels in the retina, which can lead to vision loss.
Retinal detachment: A condition where the retina pulls away from the layer of blood vessels that supply it with oxygen and nutrients, which can result in blindness if left untreated.
Conjunctivitis: An infection or inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids.
Dry eye syndrome: A condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort, irritation, and blurred vision.
Blepharitis: An inflammation of the eyelids that can cause itching, redness, and swelling.
It’s important to visit an eye doctor regularly for checkups and to promptly seek medical attention if you experience any changes in your vision or eye health.
