Medical Needs

Home / Medical Needs

Myopia

Common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry, while close objects can be seen clearly due to the eyeball’s elongated shape or a steep cornea.

Macular Degeneration

Degeneration of the macula, leading to gradual central vision loss, often associated with aging.

Glaucoma and Optic Nerve Diseases

Increased eye pressure that can damage the optic nerve. Neuroprotection strategies aim to preserve optic nerve function.

Inherited Retinal Diseases

Genetic disorders that lead to progressive vision loss due to abnormalities in the retina.

Blindness

Complete or severe loss of vision, which can be caused by various factors such as eye diseases, injuries, or neurological conditions.
