Dr. Wang Shuai
Common eye diseases mainly include the following:
1. Refractive errors: such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, which present as blurred vision and require correction with glasses or surgery.
2. Inflammatory conditions: such as conjunctivitis and keratitis, often caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergies, with symptoms including redness, swelling, pain, and increased eye discharge.
3. Glaucoma: a group of diseases characterized by elevated intraocular pressure, which can lead to vision loss or even blindness; timely medical or surgical treatment is required.
4. Cataracts: visual impairment caused by decreased transparency of the lens; surgery may be considered when daily activities are affected.
5. Dry eye syndrome: caused by insufficient tear production or poor tear quality, leading to dry eyes; symptoms can be relieved by improving environmental conditions or using medication.
These conditions require proper diagnosis and treatment based on individual circumstances. It is recommended to seek prompt medical attention if experiencing any eye discomfort.
