Understanding Your Eye Health: Common Conditions and Tips

Maintaining good eye health is crucial for overall well-being. At Eye Health Centres in Calgary, we prioritize educating our patients about common eye conditions and offering tips for maintaining optimal eye health. Here are some insights into common eye conditions and tips for keeping your eyes healthy:

 

• Refractive Errors: Refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism are common eye conditions that can affect vision. These conditions can often be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

​

• Cataracts: Cataracts are a common age-related eye condition that causes clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to blurry vision. Cataract surgery is a safe and effective treatment option to restore clear vision.

​

• Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): AMD is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults. It affects the macula, the central part of the retina, leading to blurry or distorted vision. Early detection and treatment can help slow the progression of AMD.

​

• Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure in the eye. It can lead to vision loss if left untreated. Regular eye exams and early detection are key to managing glaucoma.

​

• Dry Eye Syndrome: Dry eye syndrome occurs when eyes don't produce enough tears or produce poor-quality tears, leading to discomfort and vision problems. Using artificial tears, avoiding air blowing in your eyes, and maintaining proper eye hygiene can help manage dry eye syndrome.

​

• Diabetic Retinopathy: Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes complication that affects the eyes' blood vessels, leading to vision loss. Managing blood sugar levels and regular eye exams are crucial for preventing diabetic retinopathy.

​

• Digital Eye Strain: Spending extended periods looking at digital screens can cause eye strain, dry eyes, and blurry vision. Follow the 20-20-20 rule (take a 20-second break every 20 minutes and look at something 20 feet away) and adjust your screen settings to reduce eye strain.

​

• UV Protection: Protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays is essential for maintaining good eye health. Wear sunglasses that block 100% of UV-A and UV-B rays when outdoors and consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat for added protection.
