Schedule an appointment at Primary Eyecare Group today. What are the most common ocular diseases? There is a large range of eye diseases and conditions. But the most common include glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Glaucoma Glaucoma is an eye disease resulting in increased pressure inside the eye. This increased pressure can lead to vision loss and impairment. While glaucoma is considered a progressive eye disease, there are treatments that can slow the progression of the disease. Cataracts A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s internal lens structures. The cataract blocks light, making it difficult to see, and can get worse over time. In the early stages, you may be able to improve your vision with corrective lenses. When your vision is seriously impaired, you may need to consider surgery. Diabetic Retinopathy Diabetes affects all of your bodily systems and organs, and including your eyes. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common type of diabetic eye disease. With diabetic retinopathy, the blood vessels in the retina do not sense light as they normally would because they are constricted or damaged. People who have diabetes are also more prone to cataracts and glaucoma. Only your optometrist can detect eye diseases at an early stage when there is a better chance to develop an effective disease management plan. Schedule an appointment at Primary Eyecare Group today.
