Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, causing blurry vision, faded colors, and difficulty seeing at night. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide but are easily treatable with surgery, which replaces the cloudy lens with an artificial one.
Chemical Burns (Skin/Eyes)
Burns caused by contact with corrosive chemicals including acids, alkalis, and other industrial chemicals. Eye involvement can cause permanent vision loss.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually due to abnormally high pressure in the eye. It is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. Glaucoma often has no early symptoms, making regular eye exams crucial for early detection.
LASIK / Vision Correction Surgery
LASIK is an elective laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contacts. It is one of the most commonly performed elective surgeries worldwide.
Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss in people over 50, affecting the central part of the retina (macula). Dry AMD is more common and progresses slowly; wet AMD is less common but more aggressive, causing rapid vision loss without treatment.
Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment is a medical emergency where the retina pulls away from its normal position at the back of the eye. Without prompt treatment, it can cause permanent vision loss. Symptoms include sudden flashes of light, floaters, and a curtain-like shadow over vision.
