Eye damage

Eye damage can manifest in various ways and impact vision and overall eye health. Common symptoms include impaired vision, pain, redness, and sensitivity to light. Conditions causing eye damage range from trauma, infections, and chronic diseases like diabetes, to neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Specific examples include corneal abrasions, cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Timely diagnosis through eye examinations and imaging techniques like OCT and MRI is crucial. Treatments depend on the underlying cause and may include medications, surgery, or protective measures. Early intervention helps prevent further damage and preserves vision. If you experience any symptoms of eye damage, consult an eye care professional promptly.
