Common Causes of Eyesight Loss
There are several causes of Eyesight Loss that have different effects according to the type of Eyesight Disorder you might have.
Some of the common symptoms of Loss of Vision include difficulty in judging depth of steps, inability to read standard size print such as the time on the watch, recognizing faces, and Poor Night Vision. Some people may experience Blurry Vision while other may not be able to focus on near objects. Among the most common causes of Eyesight Loss are:
Macular Degeneration leads to loss of vision in the center of the eye where reading, writing, recognizing colors, and daylight vision may become difficult. Macular Degeneration usually occurs with age where the ocular muscles tend to weaken. Glaucoma is another eye condition that causes eyesight loss. The most common symptom is difficulty in judging steps and a staircase or a pavement. Glaucoma could be due to hereditary factors, which is common among individuals of African and Asian origin. A detached retina can result in eyesight loss caused by the damage to The Retina. Shortsighted people and middle-aged individuals are at a greater risk of developing a detached retina. The retina is attached to the inner eye. A hole or tear in the retina can cause fluid to leak through, causing the retina to become detached. People with a detached retina experience blurred and dim vision since the retina is unable to form a clear picture from incoming light rays.
Cataracts are another cause for eyesight loss. Blurred vision, Double Vision, and sensitivity to light and glare are some of the common Symptoms of Cataracts. In some cases, a person may not be able to distinguish colors correctly. A Cataract is a clouding of the lens at the back of the eye. Cloudiness may appear in more than one region at the back of the eye, causing light rays to split up as they enter the eye, thereby causing double vision. Cataracts usually occur with age, which is usually treated with surgery. However, some Cataracts are present at birth and need to be treated accordingly.
While these are Eyesight Disorders that cause vision loss, there are other causes that can be easily avoided. For example, constant staring at a television or Computer Screen can cause impaired vision. These activities are a strain on the eyes and have the potential to cause permanent damage to the eyes. The eyes may be tiny but they do have plenty of muscles that need to be strengthened with the help of simple Eyesight Exercises. If your eyes feel tired after watching TV, it is due to strain on the ocular muscles. It is important to take several breaks and rest your eyes for a few minutes, when watching TV, reading a book, or staring at a computer screen. Don’t end up doing something that keeps your eyes focused in one place. Make sure you focus on a variety of objects at varying distances. With Eyesight Exercises you can Rebuild Your Vision and prevent further vision loss as well.
