In this article, the doctor will explain about eye disorders to visual impairment. What is the purpose? Of course this is needed so that you can avoid and even treat eye diseases that have already occurred.
Various types of eye disorders
There are various eye diseases that you must know, from the causes to the treatment. Following are the details of eye diseases:1. Ablatio
Ablution is a condition of detachment of the sensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium (RIDE). Most retinal detachments occur as a result of one or more tears or holes in the retina, known as the regmatogen retinal detachment (Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment) which causes eye disorders.Symptoms of ablational eye disease that are often complained of usually objects will appear to hover, there are flashes of light, decreased sharp vision and there is a kind of thin parabolic curtain that rises slowly from the bottom of the eyeball and finally closes.
2. Bufthalmus
This disease is classified as an eye disease with the pressure of the eyeball rising from birth, due to the pressure of the eyeball that rises, the size of the baby's eyeball is very large. This condition disturbs the cornea of the eye.People who are afraid to see the light, develop eyelid disorders, the cornea swells, and the color of the cornea becomes cloudy. Immediately make efforts to reduce the liquid eyeball dam that makes the eyeball pressure increase.
The way to deal with eye disorders is through incision surgery (goniotomy) as soon as possible so that the child's development and visual acuity are not disturbed.
3. Blefaritis
Blefaritis is an inflammation of the eyelids due to excessive oil production, it is not known exactly why oil production can be excessive.Unfortunately the excess oil is near the eyelids which are also often visited by bacteria, the symptoms of blefaritis are red eyes, pain, heat, itching, runny, there are sores on the eyelids and swell. In some cases, eyelash loss occurs.
There are two types of blefaritis, namely anterior blefaritis and posterior blepharitis, the first of which is inflammation of the front outer eyelid, which is where the eyelashes attach.
The cause is staphylococcal bacteria. The second is inflammation of the inner eyelid, the part of the eyelid that is in contact with the eye. The cause is an abnormality in the oil gland.
4. Dacryocystitis
The cause of dacryocystitis is a blockage that occurs in the nasolacrimal duct, the channel that drains tears to the nose, an allergic factor that causes blockages in the channel.As a result of eye disorders, dacryocystitis is an infection around the tear bag that causes pain, red and swollen, can even get pus and the patient has a fever.
Mild infections usually heal quickly even though there is still swelling, while those that are classified as severe can cause redness and thickening above the tear sac. If it continues, pus pusses will form.
5. Endophthalmitis
Endoflatmitis is a disorder of the eye in the form of an infection in the inner lining of the eye, so that the eyeball fester. Symptoms include red eyes, pain, and even vision problems.This one vision disorder usually occurs because the child's eye is pierced by something like a stick or other sharp object. This infection is quite severe, so it must be treated immediately because it can cause blindness.
6. Glaucoma
Glaucoma is characterized by a blurred vision and side view (reduced vision width). Before there is damage to the retina and eye nerves, there is still a chance to get better. If not treated properly, this eye disorder can cause blindness.This is because the fluid channel that comes out of the eyeball is blocked so that the eyeball will enlarge and the eyeball will suppress the nerves of the eye behind the eyeball which ultimately the eye nerve does not get blood flow so the eye nerve will die.
7. Gonoblenorrhoe
This one eye disorder is one of the eye diseases that occur in newborns because their mothers suffer from gonorrhoe. Gonorrhoe can also attack adults by infection by hand or towel.Gonoblenorrhoe symptoms are the baby's eyes are swollen, suppurating, and cannot open. If it is not immediately treated, within 3 weeks the eyeball will rupture and cause permanent blindness.
8. Disorders of the lens of the eye
Other vision disorders are disorders of the lens of the eye. These diseases that affect vision disorders have a variety of types, including:Miopi (can't see objects that are far away),
Hypercopy (can't see objects that are in close proximity),
Presbiopi (physical abnormalities in the lens of the eye which cause difficulty seeing at close range),
Astigmatism (blurred vision both at a distance and at close range),
Amblyopia (the center of vision in one eye is not well developed),
Strabismus (squint eyes),
Astigmatism (the focus of the object being seen splits into two shadows)
9. Iridosiklitis
The cause of iridocyclitis comes from hollow teeth. In the beginning, this visual impairment was characterized by red eyes, but without dirt. Therefore, many underestimate this eye disorder.
Furthermore, accompanied by pain and vision rather disturbed because there are flying black spots. Many consider this disease normal and only treated with over-the-counter drugs.
10. Eye infections
Many types of eye infections, most often infections of the white mucous membranes of the eyes and eyelids (conjunctivitis) or known as red eye disease. There is also what is called Belekan, which is caused by a viral infection, sometimes accompanied by a bacterial infection.This eye disease makes the eyes red, swollen and painful and produces a lot of eye droppings. Symptoms of tendons usually make eyelashes stick together and difficult to open when you wake up because too much dirt is sticky in the lashes.
This one eye disorder usually attacks children and is highly contagious, other infectious diseases namely Bintit caused by bacterial infection of the glands at the base of the lashes and including mild eye disease. Generally it will disappear by itself within one week after pus comes out.
11. Cataracts
Cataract is a type of eye damage or eye disorder that causes the lens of the eye to become webbed and shortsighted, the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and light cannot penetrate it, varying according to its level from slight to total opacity and blocking the path of light.Patients with cataract eye disorders will experience blurred vision, reduced sharpness of vision, contrast sensitivity is also lost. This causes unclear contours, shadow colors, and vision because light is spread by cataracts to the eye.
A contrast sensitivity test must be performed and if lack of contrast sensitivity is seen eating it is recommended to consult with an ophthalmologist to check for eye problems that are being experienced.
That is the full explanation of eye disorders, eye diseases, and each of the causes. May be useful!
