Eye Conditions
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition that affects the optic nerve, responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a common eye condition that affects the macula.
CONJUNCTIVITIS (Pink Eye)
Conjunctivitis, commonly referred to as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, transparent tissue that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inner surface of the eyelids. It can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, allergies, or irritants.
Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition where the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, separates from its normal position. This separation can disrupt the blood supply and cause permanent vision loss if not promptly treated.
Cataracts
Cataracts are a common age-related eye condition characterized by the clouding of the natural lens of the eye. This clouding can cause blurry vision, difficulty seeing in low light conditions, sensitivity to glare, and a noticeable decrease in color perception. Cataracts can develop slowly over time, affecting one or both eyes.
Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common eye condition characterized by insufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a potentially serious eye condition that develops as a complication of diabetes. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.
Uveitis
Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea — the middle layer of the eye that includes the iris (the coloured part of the eye), the ciliary body, and the choroid. Because these structures supply blood to important parts of the eye, inflammation can cause serious damage if left untreated. Uveitis can affect one or both eyes and may be acute (sudden) or chronic (long-lasting and recurrent).
