*COMMON EYE PROBLEMS*

• Myopia or Nearsightedness – Here near objects are seen more clearly than objects that are far. Objects in the distance appear blurry and out of focus.

 * Hyperobia or far- sightedness : Here distant objects may be seen more clearly than objects that are near.
*Astigmatism : This is caused by an error in the shape of the cornea
which causes blurry, fuzzy, or distorted vision.

*Presbyopia: This is long-sightedness caused by loss of elasticity of the lens of the eye, occurring typically in middle and old age.

• Glaucoma – Poor vision in the dark, difficulties in peripheral vision. If ignored can result in sudden or gradual blindness. Anyone can develop glaucoma. Any one over age 60, can develop glaucoma.

• Cataract – Cloudiness above the eye lens which is indicated by the presence of halos around lights. People become very sensitive to glare. Poor vision both during the day and also the night. The risk of cataract  increases as one gets older. Other risk factors for cataract include: Certain diseases such as diabetes, personal behavior such as smoking and alcohol use, the environment such as prolonged exposure to sunlight

• Macular degeneration – Blurred, distorted and poor central vision causing blindness in people who are above 60 years of age. Age-related macular degeneration  usually occurs in people who are age 50 and older. As people get older, the risk increases with smoking .

• Floaters – There’s a possibility of detach of retina. People experience drifting of certain particles in the eye.

* Diabetic eye disease: This  refers to a group of eye problems that people with diabetes may face as a complication of diabetes. People with diabetes are at risk for diabetic retinopathy, cataract and glaucoma. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause of blindness . It is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina.The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.

• Optic neuritis – Optical nerve becomes inflamed due to some type of infection or disease like multiple sclerosis.

• Detached retina – Sense of blockage in vision, floater particles or light flashes in the field of your vision.

• Temporal arteritis – This is caused due to the inflammation of arteries that supply blood to the optic nerve. Call or whatsapp us on +2348023432141 for your order
