Cataracts are a common age condition where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision; surgical removal and replacement with an artificial lens effectively restore clarity.
Glaucoma is an eye disease characterized by increased intraocular pressure, damaging the optic nerve and potentially causing vision loss; early detection and care are crucial for preventing blindness.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry, often due to the eyeball being too long; corrective lenses or surgery help focus images onto the retina.
