Types of Eye Diseases - CSV

Eye diseases encompass a wide range of conditions including refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism), cataracts, glaucoma, and conjunctivitis. These conditions develop due to various factors such as age, genetics, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors. With early detection and appropriate treatment, vision loss from many eye diseases can be prevented. Regular eye examinations and proper knowledge of eye health are the first steps in preventing eye diseases.
