Common Eye Problems
Taking care of your eyes is the first step toward preventing vision loss. Here are some of the most common eye problems and what they could mean:
- Conjunctivitis –This condition, also called “pink eye,” is common in children, but adults can get it, too. It can be very contagious. Avoid touching the eye, and try warm compresses and over-the-counter eye drops. If there is no improvement, make an appointment with your eye doctor.
- Itchy, burning eyes – If you notice itchiness, redness, and stinging or burning of the eye and/or eyelids, this could be an annoying condition called blepharitis. Try washing the eye gently and applying warm compresses. If it persists, you could have an eye infection, dry eyes or another condition. Your eye doctor can help you find the best treatment.
- Blurry vision – Many eye conditions can cause blurred vision, including allergies, dry eyes and eye strain. It may also be a sign of a serious eye problem. If you are diabetic and notice any changes in your vision, contact Elmquist Eye Group to discuss the problem.
- Floaters and flashes of light– A few floating spots and specks are normal as we get older. However, a large increase in spots along with bright flashes of light may be a sign of a detached retina. Make an appointment for an eye exam right away.
- Dull colors and blurry images – If colors seem dull and blurry, you may have the early symptoms of Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Schedule an appointment for a dilated eye exam as soon as possible.
- Loss of peripheral vision – A decrease in side-to-side vision may be a sign that you are experiencing the early stages of glaucoma. When detected and treated at an early stage, glaucoma can be controlled, so make an appointment with your Elmquist Eye Group to discuss the treatment options.
