Refractive errors | Conditions like Amblyopia, Myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopia (farsightedness) affect the clarity of vision and require corrective measures such as glasses, contact lenses. |
Cataracts | Clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to blurry vision and eventual vision loss if left untreated. Cataract surgery is commonly performed to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial one. |
Glaucoma | It is a condition where the pressure inside the eye increases, often damaging the optic nerve. It's more common in individuals over 35-40 years old.
