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 […]
Drusen
Under the retina are yellow deposits called drusen. Lipids and proteins make up Drusen. Drusen probably do not lead to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, drusen can be a symptom of AMD and increase a person’s chance of developing it. Drusen come in several forms. Small drusen may not cause vision problems for a long time, if […]
Dacryoadenitis
Lacrimal gland (tear glands) inflammation is known as dacryoadenitis. Behind the upper outer corner of each of your eyes is a lacrimal gland. They function as a component of your tear system and produce tears. Each gland is roughly the size of an almond. One of your lacrimal glands will swell if something irritates it. […]
Cytomegalovirus Retinitis
Cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMV retinitis) is a dander viral eye infection of the retina which affects the eyes. The light-sensing nerve layer that lines the back of the eye is known as the retina. Most frequently, those with compromised immune systems develop CMV retinitis. Floaters and blurred vision may slowly start to appear as CMV retinitis symptoms […]
Cerebrospinal Fluid (Cfs)
Your brain and spinal cord have a surrounding protective layer of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF contains nutrients that your brain can use. The CSF layer also supports and cushions your brain and spinal cord from sudden movements. A grape in a jar would experience a similar effect as the brain. The grape will be bruised […]
Arcus Senilis
Having a white, blue, or gray crescent-shaped (arc) of lipid (fatty) deposits that wraps around the outer corners of the cornea of the eye condition known as corneal arcus. The curve may round the cornea completely, creating a ring. During your eye checkup, an ophthalmologist can spot a corneal arcus. Your iris and pupil are […]
Albinism
An albino person’s body has difficulty producing a pigment known as melanin. The substance in the body called pigment is what produces colour. People who have albinism have less or no pigment in their skin, hair, or eyes. There are two basic kinds of albinism, both of which result in low vision and other vision […]
Band Keratopathy
A condition known as band keratopathy damages the cornea, the transparent, dome-shaped structure on the front of the eye. Band keratopathy is characterised by a linear band of calcium deposits across the cornea. The deposition has a dirty, whitish-gray appearance. Calcium deposits can be seen on the cornea between the open and exposed portions between […]
