Common Eye Problems
BACKGROUND
The eye is like a fluid filled ball, containing the:
• | Conjunctiva and sclera — the outer white part of the eyeball. |
• | Cornea — the clear front opening which lets the light in. |
• | Iris — the colored ring that determines the color of our eyes and how much light gets in. |
• | The lens inside the eye (just behind the cornea and iris) which allows us to focus. A cataract is when the lens gets cloudy. |
• | Retina — the nerve layer in the back of the eyeball which captures the images we see and sends them to the brain via the optic nerve. |
• | Macula — a special area of the retina used for reading and fine detail. |
• | Vitreous humor — clear, gelatinous substance filling the central cavity of the eye. This is like the eyes' circulatory system to bring in nutrients and wash out toxins. |
Common eye problems include (see each for individual treatments):
• | Conjunctivitis — where the whites of the eye(s) become red and uncomfortable. |
• | Cataracts — where the lens gets cloudy. |
• | Eye Floaters — seeing spots. |
• | Vision Loss — in 1 eye. |
• | Macular Degeneration. |
• | Glaucoma — elevated eye pressure. |
