Dry Eyes
Dry eyes affect many people and can be caused by factors ranging from environmental to medication use, eyelid problems or improper tear production. Those who experience red irritated eyes, sensitivity to light, eye fatigue and burning eyes may have fallen victim to dry eyes. For relief from this condition, it is important to seek help from a doctor. They will often recommend a prescription eye drop to keep the eye lubricated. Another option is an insert that can be placed in the eye, this releases a lubrication into the eye.
Pink Eye/Conjunctivitis
Pink Eye and Conjunctivitis can be very painful for those afflicted. This can be caused by allergies, chemicals, fumes, dry eyes, viral or bacterial infections. The first sign of the condition is when the membrane that lines the surface of the eye and eyelid swells and becomes red. This is caused by irritation. Due to Pink eye being a viral infection, it is not easy to get rid of. Prevention is easy, to combat it is important to regularly wash hands and not to share personal items, especially ones that touch the face or eyes.
Cataracts
Cataracts can be caused by age, diabetes, long term use of medications, and eye trauma. Many adults over the age of 60 are affected by this condition. Symptoms can present themselves in ways like cloudy vision, difficulty seeing at night, sensitivity to light or glares.
