The term "eye problems" refers to any issue or condition that affects the eye, its structure, function or vision. This can include a wide range of conditions such as refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism), cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, strabismus, amblyopia or other disorders that can affect the visual system. These conditions may be caused by genetics, injury, disease, aging or environmental factors and can result in symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, flashes and floaters, pain or sensitivity to light. Treatment for eye problems varies depending on the specific condition but may include glasses, contact lenses, medication, surgery or other interventions to improve vision and maintain ocular health.
