Common eye problems include cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration, each with symptoms like blurry vision and difficulty seeing in low light.
Many people experience eye problems, especially as they get older. Here are some common eye issues and their symptoms:
Cataracts: This is when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. It can cause blurry vision and make it hard to see at night.
Glaucoma: This condition damages the optic nerve, often due to high pressure in the eye. It can lead to vision loss, starting with the peripheral vision.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): This affects the macula, the part of the eye that helps you see fine details. It can cause blurry vision and make it hard to see things in the center of your vision.
Drug-Induced Ocular Disorders: Some medications can cause eye problems. Symptoms might include dry eyes, redness, or changes in vision.
These conditions are more common in older adults and can significantly impact daily life. Regular eye check-ups can help catch these problems early, making treatment more effective.
