The eye is one of the most commonly injured organs in our body at a rate of 10%. 1% of all humans experience at least one eye injury in their lifetime.
A macular pucker (also called an epiretinal membrane) that grows on the surface of the retina, particularly the macula, which is the part of your eye responsible for detailed, central vision.
The macula makes up only a small part of the retina, yet it is much more sensitive to detail than the rest of the retina (called the peripheral retina).
The retina—the layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye—is nourished by blood flow, which provides nutrients and oxygen that nerve cells need. When there is a blockage in the veins into the retina, retinal vein occlusion may occur.
The retina is the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. It converts light rays into electrical impulses that travel through the optic nerve to our brain, where they are interpreted as the images we see.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disease that occurs in a small percentage of premature babies where abnormal blood vessels grow on the retina — the light-sensitive layer of cells lining the back of the eye that help us see.
Cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens. When we look at something, light rays travel into our eye through the pupil and are focused through the lens onto the retina, a layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye.
Our eyes need tears to stay healthy and comfortable. If your eyes do not produce enough tears, it is called dry eye. Dry eye is also when your eyes do not make the right type of tears.
Amblyopia is when vision in one or both eyes does not develop properly during childhood. It is sometimes called “lazy eye.” Amblyopia is a common problem in babies and young children.
A stye (also called a hordeolum) is a small, red, painful lump that grows from the base of your eyelash or under the eyelid. Most styes are caused by a bacterial infection.
The eye is one of the most commonly injured organs among all body injuries in general at a rate of 10%. 1% of all humans experience at least one eye injury in their lifetime.
Blepharitis is an inflammatory condition on the edges of both eyelids touching each other. It is manifested by the obstruction of the sebaceous glands at the edges of the cap.
Uveitis is the infection (inflammation) of the internal tissues of the eye surrounded by the transparent cornea and the white colored sclera which are the outermost rigid layers of the eye.
