Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition after age 60 that affects central vision and can make reading, driving, and recognising faces difficult.

Blepharitis

Blepharitis is a common inflammation of the eyelids that causes redness, irritation, burning, and crusting around the eyelashes. Symptoms may be chronic and often require ongoing care.

Blurry Vision

Blurry vision is unclear or unfocused eyesight that may be temporary and mild or a sign of an underlying eye or retinal condition requiring medical evaluation.

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a condition in which fluid accumulates under the retina, causing a serious (fluid-filled) detachment and vision loss.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition caused by diabetes that damages retinal blood vessels and can lead to vision loss if not detected and treated early.

Floaters & Flashes

Floaters and flashes are common visual symptoms often related to age-related changes in the vitreous. While usually harmless, they can sometimes signal retinal tears or detachment.

Glaucoma: An Optic Nerve Disease

Glaucoma is an optic nerve disease that can lead to permanent vision loss. It often develops silently, so routine eye exams are important for early detection and treatment.

Macular Edema

Macular edema is swelling caused by fluid buildup in the macula, the central part of the retina, and can lead to blurred or distorted central vision.

Macular Holes

A macular hole is a small opening in the macula, which is the central part of the retina, that can cause blurred or distorted central vision and may worsen over time without treatment.

Narrow Angles

“Anatomically narrow angles” is a term used to describe the shape of the drainage angle of the anterior chamber of the eye.

Retinal Detachment

A retinal detachment occurs when a retinal tear progresses and completely detaches from the retina.

Retinal Tears

Retinal tears occur when the clear gel inside your eyeball changes shape. This is a common occurrence that happens with the natural aging process.

Retinal Vein Occlusions

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a vascular disorder of the retina and is the second leading cause of blindness, behind diabetic retinopathy.

Retinitis Pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of rare, genetic disorders that involve a breakdown and loss of cells in the retina—which is the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye.

Severe Dry Eye

Severe dry eye occurs when the eyes don’t produce enough tears or the tear film evaporates too quickly, leading to burning, irritation, fluctuating vision, and surface inflammation.

Thyroid Eye Disease

Thyroid eye disease is an inflammatory autoimmune condition most often associated with Graves’ disease, which can cause bulging eyes, irritation, double vision, and pressure-related discomfort, sometimes affecting vision.

Vision Loss

Many health conditions, illnesses, and injuries can lead to sudden vision loss
