Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic
Retinopathy is a complication brought on by diabetes where the retina, the
lightsensitive tissue that lines the inner surface of the eye, is damaged.
Diabetes causes abnormal changes in the body’s blood sugar levels. High levels
of blood sugar can alter the blood flow to the body’s organs, including the
eyes.
Dyslexia
Dyslexia
is a learning disability that makes reading, writing, spelling and sometimes
speaking difficult. It is caused by an impairment of the brain’s ability to
translate images received from the eyes or sounds received from the ears into
understandable language. Dyslexia is not an intellectual disability, since
dyslexia and IQ are not interrelated.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma
is an eye condition in which the optic nerve is damaged, causing vision loss.
The optic nerve is located at the back of the eye and transmits the images we
see to the brain for interpretation. Glaucoma results in progressive damage to
the optic nerve, which almost always begins with a subtle loss of peripheral
(side) vision.
Graves' Disease
Graves’
Disease is an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is overactive,
producing high levels of thyroid hormones. These high levels of thyroid hormones
are referred to as hyperthyroidism. In a small percentage of people with Graves’
Disease, the fat and muscle behind the eyes are also affected, causing various
symptoms.
Keratoconus
Keratoconus
is a progressive eye condition in which the cornea of the eye thins and begins
to bulge into a cone-like shape. The cornea is the transparent front part of the
eye that covers the iris, pupil and anterior chamber. Together with the eye’s
lens, the cornea reflects light. The cornea is responsible for approximately
two-thirds of the eye’s total optical power.
