Diseases of the Eye that can effect your Vision

There are several diseases of the eye that can  impair a person's eyesight. Below are a few examples:

1)  Myopia (also known as nearsightedness): This is a condition of the eye whereby its sufferers can see objects nearby with clarity, but objects in the distance appear blurred. It is thought to be caused from an eyeball that is too long or a lens that is too thick. A cornea that is overly curved can also be the root cause of myopia. Most researchers believe that a majority of myopes were not born with the condition but that an over-exposure to television and/or computers forces the eye's focusing muscles to be stressed.

2)  Glaucoma: This disease of the eye eventually leads to loss of side vision and possibly even complete blindness. It is caused by increased fluid pressure within the eye. The chances of developing glaucoma are significantly elevated with age. There are four major types - open angle, congenital, angle closure, and secondary. It effects more than five million people.

3) Amblyopia: Also known as lazy eye. It is, essentially, a vision deficiency caused by visual stimuli failing to properly transmit to the brain via the optic nerve. It often occurs in infants and children and typically only occurs in one eye, although there have been instances when it is found in both. This disease of the eye is most treatable when caught early on.

4)  Myodesopsia (or floaters): This is a relatively common eye condition whereby the sufferer encounters spots. which seem to move around their field of vision. There are several factors believed to be the cause of floaters, one of them being debris which floats within the center of the eye. It occurs quite often when the sufferer feels light headed or is looking into a light background. This eye disorder effects nearly all of the population at one time or another.

At the other end of the spectrum, 20/20 vision is a term used to describe a high level of visual acuity. Some believe that it can be achieved through proper eye care and eye excercises, such as the techniques employed in the Bates Method. The Bates Method states that most vision conditions are caused by eye strain, and can be fixed or avoided completely by using the techniques it sets forth.

The Bates Method, or modern day variations of it, have been known to help with cataracts, glaucoma, myopia and macular degeneration. In conjuction with relaxation techniques, eye exercises, and a proper nutritional plan, the method can help to alleviate or completely do away with a number diseases of the eye.
