Common Eye Conditions and Eye Diseases
Many people go through their entire lives without knowing that they have an eye condition, since their view of the world is their “normal”. Even the most common eye conditions have symptoms that range in severity, which means that while many symptoms can be noticeable from childhood, others can go undetected for years.
If you fear that something is wrong, here are some common eye conditions that your optometrist may consider:
Refractive Errors
Refractive errors are incredibly common. They can be seen in nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Individuals with refractive issues may experience difficulty seeing objects or reading from various distances. We create special lenses to cater to these conditions and improve our clients’ vision.
Macular Degeneration
It’s a given that our eyesight will not stay the same for our entire lives. Our eyes begin to deteriorate as we age, which may lead to conditions like Macular Degeneration. This causes damage to an individual’s central vision, which is the part of our eyes that contributes the most to our sight.
Diabetic Retinopathy
This eye condition is a complication that comes with diabetes. It causes gradual blindness over time and is most common in adults. Having diabetic retinopathy can cause your eyes to change prescription much faster than the average person. This can be detected in its early stages through Optomap Retinal Imaging or other eye exams.
Glaucoma
This condition is not truly one condition, but a collection of conditions that damage the optic nerve. Glaucoma moves gradually and often causes partial vision failure before leading to full blindness.
To identify common eye conditions before they become a serious issue, you will need to see an optometrist for regular exams.
