There are many eye sight problems which include blurred vision, blind spots, floaters, halos and other symptoms. In blurred vision, sharpness of vision is lost and it becomes difficult to see small objects. Blind spots in severe form results in blindness.
Changes in vision, blind spots, blurriness, dimness of vision or halos around lights should be examined by a medical professional. These changes may represent an eye injury, eye disease, aging or diabetes which affects many organs in the body. Never ignore vision changes. They may become worse and affect your life. Always take help of a health professional.
Causes of eye sight problems
Following are some of the causes:
- Presbyopia: Difficulty in seeing the objects which are close. This problem can be experienced by people at an early age or mid 40s.
- Glaucoma: Pressure increases in the eye that cause blind spots, poor night vision and loss of vision. It is a major cause of blindness. Glaucoma can happen suddenly or gradually. If it is sudden, have to consult a doctor immediately.
- Cataracts: It is common in elderly people. It results in cloudiness over the lens of the eye, causing poor night vision, sensitivity to glare (bright light) and halos around lights. It eventually affects day time vision.
- Retinal detachment: Floaters, shade sensation or flashes of light across the visual field are some of the symptoms.
Other causes are –
- Macular degeneration
- Diabetic retinopathy.
- Brain tumor.
- Optic neuritis.
- Stroke or TIA.
- Temporal arteries.
- Bleeding in the eye.
- Migraine headaches.
Tips
Following are some of the tips to overcome eye sight problems:
- The best way is relaxation. When you become tensed or stressed you can get a headache. This in turn results in blurred vision. People advise to wear glasses instead of suggesting you to relax. This is how you waste money.
- Exercise also can help you. Doing eye exercises or any part of the body strengthens your eye health.
