Most Common Eye Problems

Our eyes are vulnerable to viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections. Take note, learn about them and other treatable problems including dry eye syndrome and computer vision.

Most of us will experience temporary eye problems from time to time, that which includes itching, blurriness or fatigue which varies during our lifetime years from childhood until we grow old. Most likely, many of these eye problems may perhaps last shortly and will probably end voluntarily on their own without any varied complications. 

However, if a sudden eye problem occurs and will last for more than a couple of days-this then will give you the advance directive to have your eyes checked and be medicated by an eye doctor.

•    Styes - a small bump that may appear inside or outside of the eyelid which is usually caused by infection of the hair follicle of an eyelash or an eyelid oil gland clogged from excess oil, debris or bacteria..

•    Pink Eye/Conjunctivitis - is an inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane known as conjunctiva, the tissue covering the eye and inner surface of the eyelid.

•    Blepharitis - ocular condition characterized by chronic inflammation of the eyelash follicles, along the edge of the eyelid.
