Click on the eye diseases and see how they could change the way you view the world.
CLEAR VISION
GLAUCOMA | This is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve and may cause vision loss or blindness. Many forms of glaucoma have no warning signs and the effects are gradual, so you may not even notice. |
CATARACTS | This condition occurs when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and causes blurry vision. In some cases, surgery is needed to help correct vision once cataracts have developed. |
MACULAR DEGENERATION | As you age the small center portion of the retina, the macula, can begin to deteriorate. There are two types of macular degeneration—dry and wet. Central vision loss could be attributed to macular degeneration. |

DIABETIC RETINOPATHY | This condition occurs as a complication of diabetes when blood vessels in the retina become swollen or leak when blood sugar levels are too high. In severe cases, new blood vessels can form and create scar tissue that damages vision. |

Eye diseases can change the way you see what's around you. Do you ever wonder how someone you know is viewing the world? Are you curious about what you might experience should you develop an eye condition?
