Ocular rosacea
Ocular rosacea is inflammation that causes redness, burning and itching of the eyes. It often develops in people who have rosacea, a chronic skin condition that affects the face. Sometimes the first indication that you may later acquire the facial type of rosacea is ocular (eye) rosacea. Most adults with ocular rosacea are between the […]
Macular telangiectasia
A condition known as macular telangiectasia (MacTel) that affects the macula results in loss of central vision. When the tiny blood arteries near the fovea have issues, MacTel develops. For tasks like reading, the fovea in the macula’s center provides the clearest central vision. There are two varieties of MacTel, Type 1 and Type 2, […]
Macular pucker
Macular pucker, also known as epiretinal membrane, develops when your macula develops creases, wrinkles, or bulges. To function effectively, the macula must be flat against the back of your eye. Your central vision is impacted when the macula wrinkles or bulges. Things can appear wavy when you have macular pucker, and you could struggle to […]
Ocular lymphoma
Cellular alterations in some persons may make them more likely to develop eye cancer. One type of cancer that can affect the eye is lymphoma. Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) is one kind of eye cancer. Both the retina and the vitreous within the eye are capable of developing PIOL. The optic nerve in the back of […]
Lattice degeneration
Lattice degeneration is a thinning of the retina that happens over time. Lattice degeneration affects 1 in 10 people, or about 10% of the population. Clear vision depends on a healthy retina, yet most people with this issue never experience any symptoms or visual loss. Retinal detachment from lattice degeneration is extremely uncommon. Those who […]
High eye pressure
Increased intraocular pressure can result in a variety of eye-related issues as well as serious conditions like glaucoma. This increased pressure has the potential to harm the optic nerve, resulting in serious vision issues and eventual blindness. Because of this, it is crucial to keep the eye pressure within a normal range. Ocular hypertension, also […]
Giant cell arteritis
An inflammation (swelling) of the arteries, the blood channels that transfer blood away from the heart, is known as giant cell arteritis (GCA). The blood flow via arteries is decreased when they swell. The arteries in the arms, upper body, and neck are impacted by GCA. Because it affects the head, it is also known […]
Filamentary keratitis
A persistent condition known as filamentary keratitis causes adherent filaments of mucus and corneal epithelium to form on the corneal surface. The mucous and degenerated epithelial cells that make up filaments are linked to the ocular surface at one end. On the anterior surface of the cornea, filaments appear as tiny, gelatinous strands that might […]
Eye twitch
An eye twitch is an uncontrollable eyelid or eye muscle spasm or movement. Your physician may diagnose it as blepharospasm. Your upper eyelid is more likely to experience it. Every few seconds, and usually only for a minute or two, the lid moves. Eye twitches can be found in three different kinds. Small eyelid twitches […]
Eye Dominance
The tendency to prefer visual information from one eye to the other is known as ocular dominance and is sometimes referred to as eye preference or eyedness. It is comparable to the laterality of right- or left-handedness, although the dominant eye’s side and the dominant hand’s side are not necessarily the same. This is due […]
