That's simply when you can't or can't see distant objects. The cause is not yet determined, but it is possible that the eyes have to work too much.

Subject: Your risk of getting sick will be higher if your father or mother is nearsighted.

Solution: Wear glasses or contact lenses. Can also be permanently cured by laser surgery. However, only result with specific objects. In addition, NeuroVision measures - a series of computer-based interactive exercises can also lower myopia levels.

2- Retinal disease

Getting sick: There are two particularly serious retinal problems: separation of the retina and reticular membranes. When the retina is removed from the outer layers of the eye, vision weakens or disappears completely.

The cause of retinal detachment is that the liquid spills into holes or tears in the retina, separating it from the lower layers. Swollen black spots and bright spots are symptoms of the disease.

When the eyes see a dark shadow, vision is blurry or blind, the disease has come to an end. Diabetes mellitus is a result of diabetes destroying tiny blood vessels inside the retina, leading to blindness.

Subjects: Women with ophthalmic surgery or a family with a history of retinopathy and severe nearsighted women are more likely to have retinal detachment. Lattice disease can only happen to people with diabetes.

Solution: Surgery, using cold stone for healing or laser photocoagulation is used to treat retinal detachment. Laser photocoagulation and common vitrectomy surgery are used in the treatment of nets due to diabetes.

3-Glaucoma

Getting sick: Often occurs when there is an increase in fluid pressure in the eyeball, destroying the optic nerve, which can lead to blindness. The main reason is due to an imbalance between the production and withdrawal of fluid in the eyeball.

There are 2 types of glaucoma : Open angle and closed angle. Open-angle glaucoma has no symptoms until the disease has reached its final stage. In contrast, people with closed-angle glaucoma may experience eye pain, redness, headache, nausea and vomiting, open eyesight or aura when viewed.

Objects: Middle-aged or old people.

Solution: Eye drops or pill, surgery or laser projection.

4- Punch your eyes

Getting sick: It is when the lens of the eye is cloudy, preventing light from entering the eye and therefore affecting the eyesight. This is the result of aging, frequent exposure to ultraviolet rays, long-term use of drugs and other diseases.

The most basic symptom is due to blurred vision and can not be improved despite the increased use of all kinds of glasses or nearness.

Subjects: Often women over 55 years of age are more susceptible to disease, but young people should not be subjective.

Solution: Surgical Phacoemulsication can be permanently cured.

5- The disease is related to the thyroid gland

Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is a thyroid eye disease responsible for controlling the body's metabolism. Patients (TED) often see dizziness, protruding eyeballs, swollen eyelids and blurred vision or a double vision. Sometimes, red eyes, watery eyes and a feeling of pleasure in the eyes will also appear.

Subjects: Women are more susceptible to disease than men.

Solution: Surgery reduces pressure to reduce eyeball. Surgery makes squinting to cure a double vision and surgery to remove eyelids to reduce swelling and cure dizziness.

When should I have an eye exam?

Ocular: Women aged 40 or over in high risk areas should have regular eye examinations, especially if the family has a history of glaucoma.

Cataract : Eye exams take steroids for a long time and your blurred vision cannot be treated with glasses.

Myopia : Get an eye exam at least once a year.

Thyroid eye disease: Eye exams should be done if you have thyroid disease.

Retinopathy: Regular eye exams if you are nearsighted or have diabetes.
