Be aware of increasingly common eye problems
Almost all the people in the world are facing some or the other kind of eye problem in their lifetime. Some of these problems are really mild and temporary and go away on their own or are easily treated at home. There are however some problems that are considered major and require specialized care from an Opthalmologist.
Major reasons causing eye problems :
• Allergy
• Eye stress
• Infection
• Irritating Chemicals
• Vitamin Deficiency
• Genetical Disorder
• Cataract
• Glaucoma
• Xeropthalmia (Extreme vitamin A deficiency)
In a few cases, the mild symptoms go away in just a few days on their own or by some home remedies. But if there is prolonged severe eye pain, sudden vision change or vision loss or any eye trauma then one should get in touch with an eye specialist or Opthalmologist.
Opthalmologists are the doctors who specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of eyes. Opthalmologists are the doctors who specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of eyes. They are highly qualified, trained and certified to perform various eye surgical procedures.
Along with Opthalmologists, many Eye Care Units also have Optometrists and Opticians.
