Refractive Error And Correction

Refractive error means that the shape of your eye does not bend light correctly, resulting in a blurred image. The main types of refractive errors are myopia (nearsightedness), hypermetropia (farsightedness), presbyopia (loss of near vision with age), and astigmatism. It can be corrected by spectacles, contact lenses or by the surgery.

Entropion and Ectropion

Entropion is a condition in which the eyelid is turned inward (inverted), causing the eyelashes to rub against the eyeball. Ectropion is a condition in which the eyelid is turned outward (everted) so that its edge does not touch the eye. The both can be corrected by minor surgical procedure

Strabismus

Squint is a condition where the eyes point in different directions. One eye may turn inwards, outwards, upwards or downwards while the other eye may look differently. In early condition it can be corrected by spectacles or exercise but in secondary stage it will be corrected by surgery.

Conjuctivitis

Conjunctivitis is an inflammation or swelling of the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is the thin transparent layer of tissue that lines the inner surface of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. Often called "pink eye," conjunctivitis is a common eye disease, especially in children.

Usually self-diagnosable

Symptoms include redness, itching and tearing of the eyes. It can also lead to discharge or crusting around the eyes.

People may experience: Pain areas: in the eyes

Eyes: redness, irritation, redness of eyelid, discharge, dryness, itchiness, puffy eyes, swollen lining of the eye, or watery eyes.

Nasal: congestion, runny nose, or sneezing

Also common: sensitivity to light

Treatment consists of self-care: It's important to stop wearing contact lenses whilst affected by conjunctivitis. It often resolves on its own, but treatment can speed the recovery process. Allergic conjunctivitis can be treated with antihistamines. Bacterial conjunctivitis can be treated with antibiotic eye drops.
