Glaucoma
Glaucoma occurs when excess fluid builds up and creates pressure in the eye. This pressure damages the optic nerve, which communicates information from the eyes to the brain. There are a few options for Glaucoma patients, consult your doctor to determine the best option for you.
Diabetic Eye Disease
This is a term for a large group of eye problems that result from having Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes. This includes diabetic retinopathy (pictured below), cataracts, and glaucoma.
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
This is an infection/inflammation of the conjunctiva - the thin membrance that protects and covers the surface of the eyeball. Typically, pink eye is caused by bacteria, viruses, allergans, or other irritants (such as dust). Be sure to see your doctor immediately after you being seeing symptoms! This will ensure quick treatment and recovery.
