Eye disorders and problems

Eye disorders are quite common, and many can be managed with proper treatment. If you have ongoing issues with your vision, it's important to consult a doctor or eye specialist.

What are the symptoms?

Common eye disorders and problems include: 

  • Eye infection: This often affects the conjunctiva and leads to symptoms such as redness, pain, and discharge, which may cause the eyelids to stick together in the morning. 
  • Irritable eyes: Itchy, sore, watery, or red eyes, often triggered by allergies like hay fever. 
  • Dry eyes: Burning, itchy, or tired eyes, light sensitivity, or blurred vision, typically due to prolonged computer use or dry mucous membranes associated with menopause or Sjögren’s syndrome. 
  • Glaucoma: Gradual loss of vision, especially peripheral vision, caused by increased eye pressure that can damage the optic nerve.
