Diseases and Disorders
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the physical disturbance of the center of the retina called the macula.
Bulging Eyes
Bulging eyes, or proptosis, occurs when one or both eyes protrude from the eye sockets due to space taking lesions such as swelling of the muscles, fat, and tissue behind the eye.
Cataracts
Cataracts are a degenerative form of eye disease in which the lens gradually becomes opaque and vision mists over.
Cataracts In Babies
In rare cases, children develop cataracts in the first few years of their lives.
CMV Retinitis
CMV Retinitis is a serious infection of the retina that often affects people with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and that may also affect people with other immune disorders.
Colour blindness
Colour blindness is not actually blindness in the true sense but rather is a colour vision deficiency—people who are affected by it simply do not agree with most other people about colour matching.
Crossed eyes (Strabismus)
Crossed eyes (or strabismus) occur when a person's eyes are not able to align on the same point at the same time, and appear to be misaligned or pointed in different directions.
Diabetic Macular Oedema
Diabetic Macular Oedema, is caused by fluid accumulation in the macula. Patients typically experience blurred vision which can be severe.
Eye Floaters and Eye Flashes
Floaters are small specks or clouds that move across your field of vision—especially when you are looking at a bright, plain background, like a blank wall or a cloudless blue sky.
Eyelid Twitching
Sometimes your eyelid simply twitches.
Lazy Eye
Commonly known as lazy eye, amblyopia is poor vision in an eye that does not receive adequate use during early childhood.
Low Vision
Whenever ordinary glasses or contact lenses don't produce clear vision, you are considered to have low vision.
