CATARACT
A cataract is developed when the crystalline lens situated
just behind the pupil that focuses light onto the retina becomes
cloudy. It reduces vision and cause glare from lights and
haziness of images. When a cataract is formed, the incident
light become blocked or scattered, causing blurry images and
poor vision.

PTERYGIUM
A pterigium is a fibro vascular tissue that grows in a triangular
shape over the cornea. The leading edge of this tissue often
displays a fine, reddish-brown iron deposition line. It commonly
occurs on the inner corner of the eye, but also may appear
on the outer corner. It may grow large enough to interfere
with vision.

KERATOCONUS
Keratoconus is an irregular protrusion of the cornea. Cornea
is similar, structurally, to the crystal of a watch. If this
crystal or windowpane is not smooth, the light will not bend
evenly and an irregular image will be formed. Like looking
through a bumpy piece of glass.
Keratoconus is a slowly progressive condition often presenting
in the teen or early twenties with decreased vision or visual
distortion. As this disease progresses, vision will no longer
be correctable with glasses.
The treatment options are: contact lenses wear, Intra Corneal
Rings surgery (INTACS) or corneal transplantation, lamellar
or penetrating.
