Common eye diseases include age-related macular degeneration, amblyopia, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, and glaucoma. Over time, tissue damage in different parts of the eye can lead to clouded, blurry, distorted, or reduced vision in one or both eyes, as well as other symptoms of irritation and discomfort, depending on the condition. These problems can be age-related, but some may also develop due to underlying conditions like diabetes, and treatments range from corrective lenses and medicated eye drops to injections or surgery, depending on the condition and its severity.
Lifestyle factors, such as eating healthy foods, limiting screen time, wearing sunglasses, and getting regular checkups, may help protect your eye health and prevent many eye problems.
