Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
is the physical disturbance of the center of the retina called the macula.
Bulging Eyes: Bulging eyes, or proptosis, occurs when one or both eyes
protrude from the eye sockets due to space taking lesions such as swelling of
the muscles, fat, and tissue behind the eye.
Cataracts: Cataracts are a degenerative form of eye disease in which the
lens gradually becomes opaque and vision mists over.
Cataracts in Babies: In rare cases, children develop cataracts in the
first few years of their lives.
CMV Retinitis: CMV Retinitis is a serious infection of the retina that
often affects people with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and that
may also affect people with other immune disorders.
Color Blindness: Color blindness is not actually blindness in the true
sense but rather is a color vision deficiency—people who are affected by it simply
do not agree with most other people about color matching.
Crossed Eyes (Strabismus): Crossed eyes (or strabismus) occur when a
person's eyes are not able to align on the same point at the same time, and
appear to be misaligned or pointed in different directions.
Diabetic Macular Edema: Diabetic Macular Edema, DME, is caused by fluid
accumulation in the macula. Patients with DME typically experience blurred
vision which can be severe.
Eye Floaters and Eye Flashes: Floaters are small specks or clouds that
move across your field of vision—especially when you are looking at a bright,
plain background, like a blank wall or a cloudless blue sky.
Glaucoma:Glaucoma occurs when a build-up of fluid in the eye creates
pressure, damaging the optic nerve.
Keratoconus: When the cornea in the front of the eye, which normally is
round, becomes thin and cone shaped.
Lazy Eye: Commonly known as lazy eye, amblyopia is poor vision in an eye
that does not receive adequate use during early childhood.
Low Vision: Whenever ordinary glasses or contact lenses don't produce
clear vision, you are considered to have low vision.
Ocular Hypertension: Ocular hypertension is an increase in pressure in
the eye that is above the range considered normal.
Retinal Detachment: When the retina detaches, light sensitive membrane
in the back of the eye becomes separated from the nerve tissue and blood supply
underneath it.
Uveitis: Uveitis is the inflammation of the inside the eye, specifically
affecting one or more of the three parts of the eye that make up the uvea.
