Cataract

A cataract is a common condition in which the normally transparent crystalline lens in the eye becomes cloudy. This scatters the light and prevents clear images from reaching the retina at the back of the eye, resulting in reduced vision and glare. Cataracts can develop in one or both eyes.

2

Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration or Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) occurs when the macular is damaged, leading to the progressive loss of central vision. Peripheral vision remains intact.

It is usually related to aging, and the majority of patients with AMD are over 50 years old. 

3

Glaucoma

The front part of the eye is filled with a clear fluid, called intraocular fluid or aqueous humour. It is produced by the ciliary body and passes out of the eye through the eyes drainage system. The production, flow and drainage of this fluid is continuous, maintaining a steady pressure in the eye, called intraocular pressure.

4

Amblyopia 

A lazy eye, also known as Amblyopia, is when the vision in one eye doesn’t develop properly in childhood. This means that your child can see less clearly out of one eye and relies more on the other, 'better seeing' eye.

5

Blocked Tear Duct

Watery eyes in young children are often caused by a problem with the tear drainage system (nasolacrimal system) of the eye.

The most common cause of a nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a membrane blocking the nasolacrimal duct. 

6

Congenital Cataract

A congenital cataract is cloudiness in the lens of the eye that is present at birth or develops shortly after birth. About 2-3 babies in 10,000 are affected by congenital cataract. Cataracts can affect the vision in different ways depending on multiple factors.

Glasses

Children may need glasses for several reasons. Glasses may play an important role in ensuring normal development of vision. The main reasons a child may need glasses are:

  • To provide better vision, so that a child may function better in their environment

  • To help straighten the eyes when an eye turn is present

  • To help strengthen the vision of a weak eye

8

Chalazion

A chalazion, also known as a meibomian cyst is a lump in the eyelid caused by a blocked meibomian gland. It is a common condition affecting the eyelid. They are usually painless, round pea sized lumps that can become infected. They often vary in size and may disappear then reappear several times before settling down.

A chalazion is not contagious, and eye sight is not affected.

9

Blepharitis

Blepharitis is chronic inflammation affecting the edges of the eyelids.

The inflammation is caused by bacterial infection of the eyelashes and/or blockage of the Meibomian (oil) glands. It can lead to build up of deposits on the skin and the eyelashes, leaving your eyes feeling gritty, sore and red with scaly deposits on the eye lid margins (edges).​

Blepharitis is not contagious.
