Ocular Disease

Ocular disease refers to any condition that affects the health and function of the eyes. These diseases can impact vision, cause discomfort, or lead to blindness if left untreated. Common ocular diseases include glaucoma, which damages the optic nerve; age-related macular degeneration, affecting central vision; diabetic retinopathy, related to diabetes damage to retinal blood vessels; and cataracts, clouding of the eye’s lens. Many eye conditions have specific symptoms and require professional diagnosis and treatment. Maintaining eye health through regular check-ups, proper eye protection, and managing overall health can help prevent or reduce the impact of ocular diseases.
