List of Eye Diseases

Eye diseases

Eye is the most important organ part in our body. Without eye we can’t see. Human Eyes are important organs that detect light and allow light to enter it and project onto retina, at the rear of the eye, and then send signals along the optic nerve to the visual areas of the brain.

Different kins of eye diseases occurred in our eye. Cataract and glaucoma are two of the most common eye diseases. Sclera, cornea, iris and ciliary body, including scleritis, keratitis, corneal uler, snow blindness – a painful eye disease caused by exposure of bright light, corneal neovascularization, fuchs’ dystrophy, keratocunus, Keratoconjunctivitis sicca – an eye disease usually called dry eyes, iritis, and uveitis.

Other eye diseases are disorders of choroid and retina. Several eye diseases belong to visual disturbances such as amblyopia – an eye disease also called lazy eye, scotoma, color blindness, achromatopsia and nyctalopia.

List of human eye diseases and disorders

Ablepharia - a congenital absence of eyelids (partial or complete).
Ablepsia - Blindness is the condition of lacking visual perception due to physiological or neurological factors.
Achromatopsia - Achromatopsia is a non-progressive and hereditary visual disorder which is characterized by decreased vision, light sensitivity, and the absence of color vision.
Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) - A sight-threatening disease caused by the group of herpesviruses. Acute retinal necrosis was first described in the Japanese literature in 1971 and termed Kirisawa uveitis.
Adie's pupil - Adie's pupil (also referred to as Holmes-Adie syndrome, Adie's tonic pupil or Adie syndrome) is a neurological disorder  in which the ability of the pupil to constrict is impaired, usually in one eye.
Adie's syndrome - Adie syndrome is a neurological disorder which affects the pupil of the eye and the autonomic nervous system.
