Eye Disease

A number of eye problems are minor and transitory, while a few could bring a permanent loss of vision. Some of the common eye problems or diseases include cataracts with clouded lenses, glaucoma that indicates damage to the optic nerve due to excessive pressure in the eye, conjunctivitis (also called pink eye), and retinal disorders that are related to the nerve layer at the back of the eye. The most effective prevention would be to get regular checkups done, as an eye disease does not generally have symptoms that could be noticed. An early detection and its subsequent treatment would prove beneficial and prevent loss of vision. Signs like pain, double vision, inflammation and fluid from the eye should be quickly remedied.
