EYE CARE
TOP CAUSES OF EYE PROBLEMS
Most people have eye problems at one time or another. Some are
minor and will go away on their own, or are easy to treat at home.
Others need a special care.
Whether your vision isn’t what it used to be, or never was that great,
there are things you can do to get your eye health back on track.
See if any of these common problems sound familiar. And always you can contact SMOOTH NATURAL CLINIC if your symptoms are really bad or don’t clear up within a few days.
Cataracts
Cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens and is the leading cause of
blindness/vision loss worldwide. Cataracts can occur at any age because
of a variety of causes, and can be present at birth.
Light passes through it to your retina -- the back of your eye where
images are processed. When you have a cataract, light can't get through
it easily. The result: You can't see as well and may notice glare or a
halo around lights at night.
Cataracts often form slowly. They don't cause symptoms like pain, redness, or tearing in the eye.
Glaucoma
Your eye is like a tire: Some pressure inside it is normal and
safe. But levels that are too high can damage your optic nerve. Glaucoma
is the name for a group of diseases that cause this condition.
A common form is primary open angle glaucoma. Most people who have it
don’t have early symptoms or pain. So it's important to keep up with
your regular eye exams.
It doesn’t happen often, but glaucoma can be caused by:
Colorblindness
When you can’t see certain colors, or can’t tell the difference between
them (usually reds and greens), you may be colorblind. It happens when
the color cells in your eye (the doctor will call them cone cells) are
absent or don’t work.
When it’s most severe, you can only see in shades of gray, but this is
rare. Most people who have it are born with it, but you can get it later
in life from certain drugs and diseases. Your doctor can tell you
what’s to blame. Men are much more likely to be born with it than women.
Your eye doctor can diagnose it with a simple test. There’s no treatment
if you’re born with it, but special contacts and glasses can help some
people tell the difference between certain colors.
Retinal Disorders
The retina is a thin lining on the back of your eye that is made up of
cells that collect images and pass them on to your brain. Retinal
disorders can damage the retinal cells andblock this transfer. There are
different types:
Age-related macular degeneration refers to a breakdown of a small portion of the retina called the macula.
Diabetic retinopathy is damage to the blood vessels in your retina caused by diabetes.
Retinal detachment happens when the retina separates from the layer underneath.
It’s important to get an early diagnosis and have these conditions treated.
Conjunctivitis (Pinkeye)
In this condition, tissue that lines the back of your eyelids and covers
your sclera gets inflamed. It can cause redness, itching, burning,
tearing, discharge, or a feeling that something is in your eye.
People of all ages can get it. Causes include infection, exposure to chemicals and irritants, or allergies.
Wash your hands often to lower your chance of getting it.
Corneal Diseases
The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped "window" at the front of your eye.
It helps to focus the light that comes in. Disease, infection, injury,
and exposure to toxins can damage it. Signs include:
Eyestrain
Anyone who reads for hours, works at a computer, or drives long
distances knows about this one. It happens when you overuse your eyes.
They get tired and need to rest, just like any other part of your body.
If your eyes feel strained, give them some time off. If they’re still
weary after a few days, check with your doctor to make sure it isn’t
another problem.
Lazy Eye
Lazy eye, or amblyopia, happens when one eye doesn’t develop properly.
Vision is weaker in that eye, and it tends to move “lazily” around while
the other eye stays put. It’s found in infants, children, and adults,
and rarely affects both eyes. Treatment needs to be sought immediately
for infants and children.
Lifelong vision problems can be avoided if a lazy eye is detected and
treated during early childhood. Treatment includes corrective glasses or
contact lenses and using a patch or other strategies to make a child
use the lazy eye.
Cross Eyes (Strabismus) and Nystagmus
If your eyes aren’t lined up with each other when you look at something,
you could have strabismus. You might also hear it called crossed eyes
or walleye.
This problem won’t go away on its own. Sometimes you can go to vision
therapy with an eye doctor to help strengthen the weak eye muscles.
Often, you’ll likely need to get an ophthalmologist, or eye surgeon
specialist, to correct it surgically.You’ll need to get an
ophthalmologist, or eye specialist, to correct it.
With nystagmus, the eye moves or "jiggles" all the time on its own.
Dry Eyes
This happens when your eyes can't make enough good-quality tears. You
might feel like something is in your eye or like it’s burning. Rarely,
in severe cases, extreme dryness can lead to some loss of vision.
If your dry eye problem is chronic, you may have dry eye disease.
Eye Floaters
These are tiny spots or specks that float across your field of vision.
Most people notice them in well-lit rooms or outdoors on a bright day.
Floaters are usually normal, but they sometimes can be a sign of a more
serious eye problem, like retinal detachment. That’s when the retina at
the back of your eye separates from the layer underneath. When this
happens, you might also see light flashes along with the floaters or a
dark shadow come across the edge of your sight.
Presbyopia
This happens when you lose the ability, despite good distance vision, to clearly see close objects and small print.
After age 40 or so, you may have to hold a book or other reading
material farther away from your eyes to make it easier to read. Sort of
like your arms are too short.
Uveitis
This is the name for a group of diseases that cause inflammation of the
uvea. That’s the middle layer of the eye that contains most of the blood
vessels.
These diseases can destroy eye tissue, and even cause eye loss. People
of all ages can have it. Symptoms may go away quickly or last for a long
time.
People with immune system conditions like AIDS, rheumatoid arthritis, or
ulcerative colitis may be more likely to have uveitis. Symptoms may
include:
Blurred vision, Eye pain, Eye redness and Light sensitivity.
