Corneal tear

This condition is usually caused by something sharped that has got into the eye or a hit in the eye with considerable force.

Corneal erosion

The cornea consists of five layers. The outermost layer is the epithelial one. When the epithelial layer is not properly stuck to the layer underneath it, a disease called corneal erosion occurs. If the problem is not constant, it is called periodic erosion of the cornea.

Corneal dystrophy

Corneal dystrophy is characterized with the accumulation of foreign material in one or more of the five layers of the cornea.

Corneal abrasion

Corneal abrasion consists of small scars, scratches or traumas to the cornea.

Conjunctivitis

The conjunctiva in the eye has many small blood vessels and produces a fluid to keep the eye zone moist and protected.

Orbital cellulitis

Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of tissues which can affect eyes and skin.

Branch venous occlusion of the retina

The retina is fed by the blood flow of oxygen and nutrients from the veins. When there is a blockage in the branch veins of the retina, there can be branch veinous occlusion of the retina (BRVO).

Blocked tear ducts

In adults, a nasolacrimal duct blockage can be a result of infection of the eye, swelling, trauma or a tumor.

Anisocoria

Anisocoria is a disease in which the pupils are of different sizes.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a defect in the shape of the cornea of the eye. Usually, the cornea and lense of the eye are smooth and rounded in the same way in all directions so that light can be concentrated on the retina in the back part of the eye.

Bacterial keratitis is an infection of the cornea which causes pain, decreased vision, light sensitivity, tearing or secretion from the eye.
