Experiencing eye disorders is a shared aspect of the human experience, ranging from minor irritations to more complex conditions requiring specialised attention. Regular eye screenings are essential for early detection, especially since many eye problems may not display early symptoms.
Characterised by optic nerve damage due to elevated pressure, glaucoma can lead to vision impairment and, in severe cases, blindness. Routine eye screenings are crucial, given that early-stage glaucoma often exhibits no symptoms. Those over 60 or with a family history face higher risks.
Astigmatism is a prevalent yet sometimes inconspicuous condition resulting from an irregularly shaped cornea, leading to blurred or distorted vision. Mild cases may go unnoticed, while prescription lenses or contacts can manage more severe instances.
Diabetic retinopathy affects individuals with diabetes and may lack early warning signs, potentially resulting in total vision loss. Elevated blood sugar levels can damage the small blood vessels in the retina, emphasising the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and annual eye tests for early detection.
Common among the elderly, age-related macular degeneration is a top cause of partial vision loss. While it doesn't lead to total blindness, AMD can significantly compromise central vision. Regular eye tests are crucial, especially since early stages are often symptom-free.
Prevalent discomfort stemming from insufficient moisture production by tear glands, dry eye symptoms include a parched sensation, eye irritation, redness, and blurry vision. Consultation with an optometrist is advised for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan to prevent potential corneal damage.
Common in the ageing population and those with specific health conditions, cataracts exhibit symptoms such as blurred vision and reduced night vision. Surgical intervention may be necessary if cataracts interfere with daily activities.
