Macular Degeneration
Is caused by the deterioration of the central portion of the retina, the inside back layer of the eye that records the images we see and sends them via the optic nerve from the eye to the brain.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye leading to a decrease in vision. It can affect one or both eyes. Often it develops slowly. Symptoms may include faded colors, blurry vision, halos around light, trouble with bright lights, and trouble seeing at night.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. A major risk factor is increased pressure in the eye. The disorders can be roughly divided into two main categories: “open-angle” and “closed-angle” (or “angle closure”) glaucoma.
Diabetic Retinopathy
also known as diabetic eye disease, is when damage occurs to the retina due to diabetes. It can eventually lead to blindness.
Crossed Eyes
Esotropia is a form of strabismus, or “squint,” in which one or both eyes turns inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a “cross-eyed” appearance.
Retinal Detachment
Is a disorder of the eye in which the retina peels away from its underlying layer of support tissue.
