Common eye diseases- some common eye diseases include cataract, Glaucoma and retinal disorders. With cataracts the vision becomes blurry and you have poor night vision, double vision, glare and prescriptions which change rapidly. Glaucoma is damage to the optical nerve which is caused by pressure or fluid in the eye and is commonly found in people over the age of 60, people with a family history and African Americans over the age of 40. Retinal disorders are serious conditions and may lead to permanent loss of vision.

Treating eye infections such as conjunctivitis- Conjunctivitis is an eye infection caused by the same bacteria and virus that cause the common cold. There are many caused for this infection and treatment methods vary according to the cause. Conjunctivitis caused by a virus will usually go away on its own, whereas that caused by bacteria needs anti biotic drops to clear the infection. These drops need to be inserted directly into the eye several times a day for many days.

The treatment plan for conjunctivitis also needs to include a plan to prevent the infection from spreading. Conjunctivitis is highly contagious and can spread from one eye to another or to other family members. Remember to wash hands regularly and not share things that have touched the eye as a means to preventing its spread.

Eye exams and 20/20 vision - Visual acuity is measured in terms of the smallest line a person can read standing 20 feet from the chart. A patient who is twenty feet away and able to read all 20 lines on the chart is said to have a 20/20 vision. Patients who can read the line 40 which is larger are said to have a 20/40 vision which is worse than visual acuity.

A patient with 200/20 vision is not able to read anything except the 200th line. Additionally a person with 200 visions can read the 200 line from 200 feet away.

  1. You mention that conjunctivitis can be both bacterial and viral, which will determine the treatment. How can you tell which type of infection it is? Does the doctor prescribe anti-bacterial drops just in case if he's not sure? http://www.tyreecarrmd.com
