Introduction to Common Eye Disorders and Diseases Eye disorders and diseases are a prevalent health concern affecting millions of people worldwide. While some conditions are mild and treatable, others can lead to vision loss or even blindness. This presentation will provide an overview of the most common eye disorders and diseases, their causes, symptoms, and treatments.
Cataracts Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness globally, characterized by the clouding of the eye's natural lens. The condition usually affects older people, but it can occur in younger individuals due to an injury, prolonged steroid use, or certain medical conditions. Symptoms include blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, and sensitivity to light. Treatment involves surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial one.
Glaucoma Glaucoma is a progressive disease that damages the optic nerve, leading to vision loss and blindness. The condition is often caused by high pressure inside the eye, but it can also result from poor blood flow to the optic nerve. Symptoms are usually not noticeable until the disease has advanced. Treatment involves lowering the intraocular pressure through medication, laser surgery, or traditional surgery.
Diabetic Retinopathy Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that damages the blood vessels in the retina. The condition can cause blurry vision, floaters, and even blindness. People with diabetes are at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy, particularly those who have had the disease for a long time or who struggle to manage their blood sugar levels. Treatment options include laser surgery or medication injections to reduce swelling and prevent further damage.
Dry Eye Syndrome Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or produce poor-quality tears, leading to discomfort, redness, and a burning sensation. Environmental factors such as dry air, wind, and screen time can worsen the symptoms. Treatment options include artificial tears, prescription eye drops, and lifestyle changes such as avoiding air conditioning, wearing sunglasses, and taking breaks from screen time. www.neohospital.com
