Everyone, at some point, will encounter an eye condition. While some may be mild and need minimal attention, others can be intricate and require specialised care. Early signs of eye problems aren’t always evident, emphasising the importance of regular eye assessments.
This is linked to optic nerve damage due to increased eye pressure. If overlooked, it can progress to vision impairment or total blindness. Early detection is challenging, as symptoms like blind spots and reduced peripheral vision manifest later. Individuals over 60 or with a family history are more prone to glaucoma.
Primarily affecting those with chronic diabetes, diabetic retinopathy often goes unnoticed initially. Progression can result in vision loss. Elevated blood pressure levels damage retinal blood vessels, causing them to leak and/or bleed. Maintaining diabetic control through lifestyle choices and yearly eye checks is crucial.

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is widespread among older adults, significantly impacting central vision, although not leading to total blindness. This progressive ailment can be asymptomatic initially. But consult an optometrist promptly if you observe blurry vision or distorted lines.
This common condition stems from inadequate tear production, causing symptoms like dryness, stinging, redness, and blurry vision. Generally, eye drops provide relief. However, early diagnosis prevents potential corneal damage.
Predominantly seen in older adults, cataracts can also be linked to diabetes, obesity, and smoking. Indicators include blurred vision, poor night vision, and light halos. If they impede daily tasks, surgical intervention might be needed.
