Eyes

Vision is the sense people most fear losing, and many eye conditions are painless until they are advanced. This section covers styes and conjunctivitis, dry eye, cataracts, glaucoma, and the eye complications of diabetes. You will find what causes each one, how an eye exam catches problems before you notice them, and what treatment can do, which is a great deal when the problem is caught early. For the silent conditions, regular eye exams are the whole game. See a doctor urgently for sudden vision loss, eye pain with nausea, flashes of light, or a curtain across your vision.
