To maintain good eye health, it is important to follow a balanced diet, wear sunglasses with UV protection, take regular breaks from screens, practice good hygiene with contact lenses, and have regular eye exams.

Common symptoms of cataracts include blurry or cloudy vision, difficulty seeing at night, sensitivity to light, seeing halos around lights, and double vision. Treatment typically involves cataract surgery, in which the cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial one.

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a type of refractive eye surgery that corrects vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Good candidates for LASIK surgery are people with stable vision, healthy corneas, and no other eye health issues.

In LASIK surgery, a thin flap is created on the cornea using a laser, which is then folded back to expose the underlying corneal tissue. The surgeon then reshapes the cornea with a laser to correct vision. The flap is then repositioned, and it adheres naturally without stitches. Recovery is typically quick, with most patients experiencing improved vision within 24 hours and complete healing within a few weeks.

Common retinal conditions include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and retinal tears. Treatment options depend on the specific condition and can range from medication and laser therapy to surgery, such as vitrectomy or retinal detachment surgery.
