Common Problems in Human Eye

Eye Problems

1. Lazy Eye:
Lazy eye (amblyopia) happens when an eye doesn’t develop properly. Vision tends to get weaker in that eye and then moves “lazily” around while the other eye stays normal. Lazy eye can be found in infants, children and adults, but rarely affects both eyes.
2. Cross Eyes and Nystagmus:
Strabismus is a case where your eyes aren’t lined up with each other when you look at something. It is also said to be called crossed eyes or wall-eye.
Such a problem doesn’t go away on its own. You’ll need an eye specialist to correct it.
3. Color Blindness:
When you lack the ability to see certain colors, or can’t differentiate between them (usually reds and greens), you are most likely to be color blind. It happens when the color cells in your eye are absent or don’t work.
4. Floaters:
Floaters are tiny spots that float across your field of vision. It is usually noticed by most people in well-lit rooms or outdoors on a bright day.
Floaters are quite normal, but sometimes they can also be a sign of a critical eye problem, like retinal detachment. Retinal detachment is when the retina at the back of your eye separates the layer underneath
5. Glaucoma:
When too much pressure is applied to the eyes, it can cause critical damage to your optic nerve. This kind of condition is caused by a group of diseases called Glaucoma.
6. Retinal Disorders:
The blockage of the retina, that is a thin lining located behind the eyes and made up of cells in charge of collecting and passing images to the brain.
