Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss or blindness. It is often associated with increased pressure in the eye and can be treated with medication or surgery.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that can cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss. It is important for people with diabetes to have regular eye exams to monitor for this condition.
Cataracts
Cataracts are a common age-related condition that causes clouding of the lens in the eye, leading to vision loss. They can be treated with surgery to replace the cloudy lens with an artificial one.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a progressive condition that affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. It can lead to a loss of sharp, detailed vision and can be treated with medication or laser therapy.
Retinal Detachment
This is my diagnosis. Retinal detachment occurs when the retina becomes separated from the underlying tissue, leading to vision loss. It is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.
Trauma
Eye injuries, such as those caused by accidents or sports, can cause vision loss or impairment. Treatment depends on the severity of the injury and may include surgery or other interventions.
