B
  • Brow PtosisDrooping of the eyebrow due to aging, nerve damage, or muscle weakness, which can affect vision and facial appearance.
C
  • CataractA painless condition of the eye that manifests as a clouding of the eye’s lens and clinically obstructs the passage of light to the retina. Cataracts usually develop gradually.
  • Corneal Diseases A group of conditions that affect your cornea, including keratitis, corneal dystrophy and corneal ectasia. Causes range from genetic mutations to eye injuries.
D
  • DermatochalasisExcess, loose skin on the eyelids, often due to aging, that may impair vision or cause a tired appearance.
  • Diabetic RetinopathyA disease in which the small blood vessels in the retina (the back, inner layer of the eye that captures light and sends the signals to the optic nerve) are slowly damaged, causing them to swell and leak fluid.
  • Dry Eye SyndromeDry eye syndrome occurs due to reduced tear production, poor quality tears or excessive tear evaporation. It can cause eye discomfort and poor vision, and lead to other eye diseases.
E
  • Eye CareOphthalmology is the branch of medicine dealing with the structure, functions and diseases of the eye.
  • Eye Floaters, Flashes or Retinal DetachmentRetinal detachment occurs when the retina is pulled away from the back of the eye where it normally resides. It will cause blindness if not immediately treated. Symptoms include floaters, flashes and blurry vision.
  • Eyelid Irritation & InfectionsThe eyelid can be the site of infectious and inflammatory conditions called blepharitis, resulting in irritation, mattering, itching, red eyelids and dry eyes.
  • Eyelid PtosisDrooping of the upper eyelid due to muscle weakness, nerve damage, or aging, which can affect vision and facial symmetry.
  • Eyelid Skin CancerAbnormal growth of cancerous cells on the eyelid, most commonly basal cell carcinoma, often caused by sun exposure. It can lead to tissue damage, distortion of the eyelid, and potential vision impairment if untreated.
G
  • GlaucomaA group of eye diseases that result in damage to the optic nerve, which is located in the back of the eye and is responsible for carrying information from the eye to the brain.
H
  • Hereditary Eye DiseasesInherited eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinal degeneration and eye malformations.
K
L
  • Lower Eyelid BagsPuffiness or swelling beneath the eyes, often caused by aging, fluid retention, genetics or lifestyle factors like lack of sleep.
M
  • Macular DegenerationCauses loss in the center of the field of vision.
  • Malpositioned EyelidsAbnormally positioned eyelids due to conditions like entropion (inward turning) or ectropion (outward turning), which can cause irritation, dryness or vision problems.
O
  • OphthalmologyA branch of medicine that deals with diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders
  • Optic Nerve DiseaseA set of diseases that disrupt the normal function of the eye.
  • Orbital Diseases & TumorsTumors that emerge within the eye socket or form in adjacent sources, such as the eyelid, paranasal (the space that surrounds the nasal cavity), sinus or intracranial compartment.
  • Orbital FracturesBreaks in the bones surrounding the eye, usually caused by trauma. They can lead to pain, swelling, double vision and in severe cases, eye movement restriction or sunken appearance.
  • Orbital TumorsOrbital tumors are abnormal growths in the eye socket, which can be benign or malignant. They may cause bulging of the eye, vision changes, pain, or difficulty moving the eye.
R
  • Refractive ErrorsA defect in the shape of the eye that causes improper bending of the light, resulting in blurred or fuzzy vision.
  • Retinal DetachmentWhen it the retina is detached from the layer of blood vessels that provide it with oxygen, the retina may deteriorate, causing loss of vision in the affected eye.
T
  • Tear Duct DisordersTear duct disorders are conditions that affect tear drainage, such as blockages or infections, leading to excessive tearing, irritation or recurrent infections.
  • Thyroid Eye DiseaseAlso called Graves’ eye disease or Graves’ orbitopathy, this is an autoimmune condition that affects the tissues and muscles around the eye. Can occur in up to 50% of people with thyroid disorders.
  • Thyroid OrbitopathyAlso called thyroid eye disease, Graves’ eye disease or Graves’ orbitopathy, this is an autoimmune condition that affects the tissues and muscles around the eye. Can occur in up to 50% of people with thyroid disorders.
U
  • Uveal MelanomaUveal melanoma is the most common form of eye cancer, and is often found during regular eye exams; however, symptoms are sometimes hard to detect.
