Refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia or "eyestrain") occur when the optical elements of the eye do not focus light on the retina and therefore generate a blurred visual image.

They can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

Eye redness or irritation can be due to different causes, some simple such as dry eyes and others that can put your vision at risk such as intraocular inflammations or infections in the cornea.

It is a disorder that affects the small blood vessels of the retina of both eyes associated with poor metabolic control in patients with Diabetes Mellitus, if not treated it can cause irreversible loss of vision or even blindness.

Some symptoms in more advanced stages are: blurred vision, bleeding inside the eye, red or black spots "floating" in the vision.

It is a group of eye disorders that cause damage to the optic nerve causing loss of vision and blindness. The damage is irreversible and is generally associated with elevated eye pressure. Glaucoma generally does not cause discomfort and as peripheral vision progresses it is gradually lost. When it is not treated and is in more advanced stages, there is a total and irreversible loss of vision.

Condition that affects the area of finest vision in the retina in which some residues (drusen) of the eye's metabolism are deposited instead of being eliminated.

The macula is responsible for central vision and fine detail vision, therefore, when affected, it can interfere with activities of daily life such as seeing people's faces, reading, writing, driving, etc.

When the retina is detached, the vision becomes blurred and it is noticeable as a spot that grows and obscures the visual field.

Retinal detachment is a very serious problem that, if not treated in time, can cause blindness.

Most of these injuries are not dangerous, but they can endanger vision if the foreign body penetrates the interior of the eye or if the wound that caused it becomes infected.

Color blindness occurs when we have a problem with the pigments of cells located in the retina called cones, which serve to perceive color and results in the inability to see some colors in a normal way.

They represent the leading cause of reversible blindness worldwide. Cataracts are currently treated with surgery, in most cases, with a good visual prognosis.
