What Are the Common Eye Diseases?
Disease description:
Due to occupational exposure, the workplace I frequent has relatively high levels of irritating gases, and I’ve recently been experiencing frequent eye problems. Could you please tell me what the common ophthalmic diseases are?

Ophthalmology encompasses a wide variety of common diseases, which can be broadly categorized as follows:
1. **Refractive Errors**: Including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
2. **Lens Disorders**: Characterized by lens opacification, such as cataracts.
3. **Retinal Diseases**: Including retinal artery occlusion, retinal vein occlusion, retinal detachment, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and retinitis pigmentosa.
4. **Optic Nerve Disorders**: Such as optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy, and optic nerve contusion.
5. **Ocular Autoimmune Diseases**: Including uveitis, iridocyclitis, and scleritis.
We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
