Some eye problems are minor and short-lived. But others can cause permanent vision loss .
Common eye problems include:
- Refractive errors
- Cataracts: When the lens becomes cloudy
- Optic nerve disorders, including glaucoma
- Retinal diseases: Problems with the nerve layer at the back of the eye
- Macular degeneration: Disease that destroys the central focus of vision
- Eye problems associated with diabetes
- Conjunctivitis: Infection of the conjunctiva
Your best defense is to get regular checkups, because eye diseases don’t always have symptoms. Early detection and early treatment can prevent blindness. If you have sudden vision changes, blurry vision, or see flashes of light, seek help from an eye specialist right away. Other symptoms that require prompt attention are pain, double vision, watery discharge from the eye, and swelling
