A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. It which disrupts light passing through the pupil to the back of the eye. A cataract leads to diminished sight and eventually to blindness if untreated. Cataract may be caused by aging, medical conditions (such as diabetes), long-term use of medications, or genetics.
Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), occurs when the macula deteriorates. Macular degeneration comes in two types - wet and dry. AMD occurs when the small central portion of the retina, known as the macula, deteriorates. Unfortunately, there is no treatment for the dry form of macular degeneration.
Floaters are spots that move through your field of vision. They come in different sizes and shapes, such as cobwebs, specks, and strands. Flashes are often caused by pulling on the retina by the vitreous (gel-like substance inside the eye). Most floaters and flashes do not need treatment. However, if dilated exam reveals that the retina is torn or detachment, treatment is needed to prevent permanent loss of vision.
Amblyopia is a common condition (affecting about 2 or 3 out of 100 children) that occurs when vision is reduced due to the brain and eye not working together normally. This occurs despite glasses or contact lenses if needed. Sometimes this is referred to as a "lazy eye". Usually one eye is affected, but amblyopia in both eyes takes place also.
