1. DISORDERS OF EYE

2. Introduction to Eye
Disorders
•Eye disorders refer to any
condition that affects the normal
function of the eye, leading to
vision problems or discomfort.-
These disorders can be caused by
a variety of factors, including
genetics, age, injury, and
underlying health conditions.

3. Refractive Errors
• Refractive errors are the most common
type of eye disorder and include
conditions such as nearsightedness,
farsightedness, and astigmatism.
• These errors occur when the shape of the
eye prevents light from focusing properly
on the retina, leading to blurred vision.

4. Cataracts
• Cataracts are a common age-related
eye disorder that causes clouding of
the eye's lens, leading to blurry
vision and difficulty seeing in low
light.
• Surgery is often required to remove
cataracts and restore clear vision.

5. Glaucoma
•Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders
that cause damage to the optic
nerve, usually due to increased
pressure within the eye.
• If left untreated, glaucoma can
lead to permanent vision
loss.

6. Age-related Macular Degeneration
(AMD)
• AMD is a progressive eye disorder
that affects the macula, the central
part of the retina responsible for
sharp, central vision.
• Symptoms of AMD include blurred or
distorted vision, and there is
currently no cure for the condition.

7. Diabetic Retinopathy
• Diabetic retinopathy is a
complication of diabetes that
affects the blood vessels in the
retina, leading to vision loss.
• Proper management of diabetes
through medication and lifestyle
changes can help prevent or slow the
progression of diabetic retinopathy

8. Dry Eye Syndrome
• Dry eye syndrome is a common eye
disorder that occurs when the eyes
do not produce enough tears or when
tears evaporate too quickly.
• Symptoms of dry eye syndrome include
redness, irritation, and a gritty
sensation in the eyes.

9. Retinal Detachment
• Retinal detachment is a serious eye
disorder that occurs when the retina
pulls away from its normal position
at the back of the eye.
• Symptoms of retinal detachment
include flashes of light, floaters
in the field of vision, and a
curtain-like shadow over part of the
visual field.

10. Color Blindness
• Color blindness is a genetic eye
disorder that affects a person's
ability to distinguish between
certain colors.
• Most cases of color blindness are
mild and do not significantly impact
daily life, but severe cases may
require special accommodations

11. Prevention and
Treatment
• Regular eye exams, proper nutrition,
and protective eyewear can help
prevent many eye disorders.
• Treatment options for eye disorders
vary depending on the specific
condition but may include
medications, surgery, or corrective
lenses.
