eye disorders

Eye disorders are conditions that affect vision or eye health, caused by issues with the eye’s structures or nerves. Common disorders include nearsightedness (difficulty seeing distant objects), farsightedness (trouble with close objects), and astigmatism (blurred vision due to irregular curvature). Cataracts cloud the lens, impairing vision, especially with age. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve often due to high eye pressure, risking blindness if untreated. Conditions like macular degeneration affect the central retina, decreasing sharpness. Many disorders can be managed with glasses, medication, or surgery, emphasizing the importance of regular eye exams for maintaining eye health.
