Eye Problems 

Eye Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, and consistency within the eye's vitreous humour, which is the thick fluid or gel that fills the eye. Eye floaters symptoms are spots, threads, or fragments, which float slowly in the field of vision.

They are more visible when lying supine or when looking at a blank surface or monochromatic space, such as the sky on a clear day. Floaters are common, and do not cause serious problems for most people.

Floaters are not dangerous, but can be very irritating in those severe cases in which the spots are constantly floating or drifting. In most cases no medical eye floaters treatment is recommended.

There are many eye diseases that can affect the eye with differing levels of severity. A list of eye diseases that are most common includes glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), astigmatism and cataracts.

These eye conditions can range from minor to severe in different patients. AMD and cataracts are more common in elderly patients.

The best eye disease treatment and prevention is to have regular checkups so that your doctor can spot the signs of an eye disease early and do an eye disease diagnosis. Treatment for eye diseases can range from prescription drops to complicated surgeries.

Once an eye doctor has diagnosed a specific eye problem, more specific treatment options can be explored. 

Eye conditions and eye disorders are very common. For example, eyes can become tired, sore or dry. You can suffer from watery eyes, floaters, twitching eyes and headaches.

Some eye conditions, according to the Better Health Channel, can result from using computers or watching television for long periods of time.

This type of eye strain can be prevented and treated by taking frequent breaks, blinking frequently and looking at objects at different distances.

Symptoms of eye conditions include blurred vision, eye pain, double vision, headaches, and altered eye movements. 

Conjunctivitis, or “pink eye” is the most common type of eye infection. It is usually a viral infection, but can sometimes be a bacterial eye infection. Eye infections causes include viral infection, bacterial infections, allergies, other irritants and dryness.

Eye infections are often contagious and usually passed from person to person, but also through contaminated objects. In most cases, eye infections can be treated and cured in 2-5 days with prescription medications.

Complications of eye infections are uncommon, but may include retinal damage and scars that may obscure vision.
