Protecting your eyesight is one of the most important things you can do to help maintain your quality of life. Some type of sight-threatening eye problem affects one in six adults age 45 and older. And the risk for vision loss only increases with age. Since the leading causes of blindness and low vision are primarily age-related diseases such as macular degeneration, cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, protecting your eyesight as you age is an essential part of your health care.

Common Eye Problems

Some eye problems are minor and don't last long. But some can lead to a permanent loss of vision.

Common eye problems include

• Refractive errors - The eye normally creates a clear image because the cornea and lens bend (refract) incoming light rays to focus them on the retina. The shape of the cornea is fixed, but the lens changes shape to focus on objects at various distances from the eye. By becoming more rounded, the lens allows near objects to be focused. By becoming flatter, the lens allows objects farther away to be focused. When the cornea and lens cannot focus the image of an object sharply on the retina, it is called a refractive error.

• Cataracts - Cataracts typically form as the tissues within the lens in the eye break down and form clumps. These clumps cause “clouded” areas on the eye, which in turn impair eyesight.

• Glaucoma - Glaucoma is a serious disease affecting the optic nerve.  Over time, the fluid in the eye begins to flow too slowly or stops flowing completely, the pressure inside the eye grows and blood vessels that feed the retina and optic nerve are damaged, causing vision loss and blindness.

• Retinal disorders - problems with the nerve layer at the back of the eye.

• Macular degeneration -  Macular degeneration is the slow deterioration of the cells in the macula, (the macula, iabout the size of a pencil eraser, is a tiny, yellowish area near the centre of the retina that allows you to clearly distinguish fine detail.) which affects your central vision, the vision you use for reading, writing, driving, and identifying faces. In some people, macular degeneration  advances so slowly that it will have little effect on their vision as they age. But in others, the disease progresses faster and may lead to a loss of vision in one or both eyes.

• Diabetic eye problems - Diabetic Retinopathy is a disease of the retina. The retina is the layer of the eye that is directly in the back of the eye. The retina sends the images that are seen to the brain. Diabetic Retinopathy affects the blood vessels in the eye causing them to weaken, which can lead to blood and liquids leaking into the retina.

• Conjunctivitis - an infection also known as pinkeye.
