8) Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) - Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an infection or inflammation of the conjunctiva -
the thin, protective membrane that covers the surface of the eyeball and inner surface of the eyelids.
Caused by bacteria, viruses, allergens and other irritants like smoke and dust, pink eye is highly contagious
and is usually accompanied by redness in the white of the eye and increased tearing and/or discharge.
While many minor cases improve within two weeks, some can develop into serious corneal inflammation and threaten sight.
If you conjunctivitis, visit your eye care provider for an examination and treatment.
09) Diabetic Eye Disease -"Diabetic eye disease" is a general term for a group of eye problems that can result from having
type 1 or type 2 diabetes, including diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma.
Often there are no symptoms in the early stages of diabetic eye disease, so it is important that you don't wait for
symptoms to appear before having a comprehensive eye exam. Early detection and treatment of diabetic eye disease
will dramatically reduce your chances of sustaining permanent vision loss.
10) Glaucoma -Often called "the silent thief of sight," glaucoma is an increase in the intraocular pressure of the eyes,
which causes damage to the optic nerve with no signs or symptoms in the early stages of the disease. If left untreated,
glaucoma can lead to a decrease in peripheral vision and eventually blindness.
While there is no cure for glaucoma, there are medications and surgery available that can help halt further vision loss.
Early detection and regular eye exams are vital to slowing the progress of the disease.
11) Macular Degeneration -Macular degeneration is a chronic, progressive disease that gradually destroys sharp central vision due to a deterioration
of the macula, a tiny spot in the central portion of your retina comprised of millions of light-sensing cells. Because it
is so commonly associated with aging, it is also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). There are two forms of
AMD called "dry," most common and with no known treatment, and "wet," less common and treated with laser procedures.
Genetic testing is now available to help identify those most likely to develop "wet" macular degeneration.
In most cases, reversing damage caused by AMD is not possible, but supplements, protection from sunlight,
eating a balanced diet and quitting smoking can reduce the risk and progression of macular degeneration.
For suggestions, speak with your local optometrist.
12) Astigmatism -
13) Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
14) Myopia (Nearsightedness)
15) Presbyopia (Aging Eyes) -Our client practices offer a number of cutting-edge vision care services and products. Our practices have the
experience and equipment necessary to diagnose and often treat the eye diseases detailed above, as well as many
other eye diseases.
Regular Eye Exams Make a Difference
Keeping up with regular eye exams is about more than just being able to update your glasses prescription regularly.
The eye doctor can also check for the early indicators of retinal detachment and treat it before it can worsen and
lead to vision loss. In between eye exams, keep protecting your eyes with UV-blocking sunglasses and keep them strong
with healthy food and an active lifestyle!
A lot changes as we get older, including our eyesight.
As we age, we should be vigilant in watching for signs of age-related vision loss, because early diagnosis is critical
in preventing many sight-threatening conditions from progressing. We want our patients to be as informed as possible
so that they can minimize their risks. We also want them to be prepared for the more benign ways their eyesight can change!
People have been using vision-correcting tools of some kind since as early as 60 A.D.
Roman philosopher Seneca from that time used a glass globe of water to magnify the text he was reading,
and Emperor Nero couldn’t see gladiator fights very well without his magnifying emerald. We’re glad we don’t
have to rely on these kinds of imprecise and antiquated tools, but it’s fascinating to see how vision correction
has gotten to where it is now, and the long, winding road it took to get there.
Corrective Lenses Over the Centuries
It would take almost a thousand years after those emeralds and globes of water until lenses would actually be manufactured
to help with reading. It was monks in 10th century Europe who came up with the idea to polish domes of transparent quartz,
which they called “reading stones.” They needed these to be able to see clearly enough to do the fine details in their
illuminated calligraphy.
After that, it took another couple of centuries before anyone had the idea to put a couple of reading stones into frames so
that they would be wearable. A Florentian named Salvino D’Armati was credited with the invention of spectacles, but scholars
are skeptical that this man actually existed, so the identity of the real inventor is unknown.
Glasses: From Status Symbol to Commonplace
The earliest wearable spectacles were only made out of very expensive materials, like crystal.
This put them out of reach of most people, but they became a status symbol for the wealthy.
Once the printing press came along in 1440, literacy rates skyrocketed, and with them, so did the demand
for reading glasses. The preferred material switched from crystal to glass, making them much more affordable.
Over-the-Ear Frames and Prescription Lenses
Even then, glasses weren’t like they are today. They were designed to perch on the nose or be held while in use,
and there was only so much glass blowers could do to customize lens thickness and shape for people with different
refractive errors. Glasses only became hands-free in the 1700s with the addition of the temples to extend over the ears.
Benjamin Franklin contributed by inventing bifocals, and around the same time, hinges were introduced so that glasses could be
folded and stored in a pocket. Eye doctors were getting better and better at tailoring lenses to patients’ specific needs,
with cylindrical spectacles coming along in the early 1800s to correct astigmatism, but it wasn’t until 1862 that Dutch eye
doctor Herman Snellen invented the “big E” chart that standardized vision correction.
Modern Glasses
Nowadays, we get to enjoy the benefits of two thousand years of improvements to vision correction.
We can choose from a range of materials depending on our individual situations, we can have protective
lens coatings to make them even more effective and durable, and we can choose from countless frame styles
and colors to suit our personalities. If you’re in need of a new pair of glasses, just let us know and we can help!
Not all vision problems can be corrected by wearing glasses or contacts.
When vision is so poor that corrective lenses aren’t enough, we call it visual impairment.
It’s important for everyone to be aware of the vision problems that fall into this umbrella,
because whether they affect us personally or not, we should be informed and ready to help those who do struggle with them.
