Common Adult Eye Conditions

Cataracts

Cataract is a cloudiness or loss of transparency of the lens in the eye. In most cases, cataracts cause blurring of vision, glare and decreased contrast under low lighting conditions and at night.

When a cataract starts causing problems with clear and comfortable vision, it may be appropriate to consider surgical removal and replacement with an artificial (intraocular) lens.

Pterygium

A pterygium is a fleshy, triangular overgrowth of the conjunctiva, the thin clear membrane on the eye’s surface. This eye condition is relatively common – around one in every 100 Australians will develop a pterygium at some point in their lives.

Strabismus

Strabismus is a common condition in which the eyes appear to be misaligned and point in different directions. Also known as lazy or crossed eyes, people with strabismus find that their eye/s turn inward, outward, upward or downward. While strabismus can occur at any age, it is most common in infants and young children, although up to four in every 100 adults also have the condition.

Macula Degeneration

Macular degeneration is the name given to a group of eye diseases that affect the retina. Commonly referred to as age-related macular degeneration, this disease typically develops with age and is the leading cause of vision loss in people aged over 50.

Macular degeneration causes progressive loss of central vision, making it difficult to read, drive, see faces and perform activities that require detailed vision. The disease does not cause total blindness, as the peripheral and side vision remains intact.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is the name given to a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, which delivers information from the eye to the brain. This damage is usually the result of abnormally high pressure in the eyes.

If left untreated, glaucoma first causes peripheral vision loss and can eventually lead to complete blindness. Glaucoma often has no warning signs, and you may not notice a change in vision until the disease is at an advanced stage. Rather, 50 percent of people with glaucoma are unaware that they have the disease.
