Eye Health

Blurred vision, persistent dryness, floaters, and increased light sensitivity are among the most frequently reported symptoms prompting ophthalmic consultation. Common underlying causes include refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Treatment approaches range from corrective lenses and prescription eye drops to laser procedures and surgical interventions depending on severity. Comprehensive eye examinations are recommended every one to two years for adults, with more frequent screening advised for individuals over 60 or those with diabetes. Prompt medical evaluation is critical when sudden vision changes, eye pain, or new-onset flashes occur, as these may signal retinal detachment or acute glaucoma.
