To Cure Your Ailing Eye Conditions Choose Laser Corrected Vision Over Bifocals in Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Surrounding Areas

A large percentage of Americans are born with or develop at least one eye condition over the course of their lives. Eye conditions are not limited to myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia and astigmatism, which all alter the way light enters through the lens and reflects on the retina. Many other eye diseases and disorders change the way people see as they get much older.

Macular degeneration, for instance, affects the macula, a small area at the back of the human eye near the optic nerve and in front of the retina. When this starts to deteriorate past the age of fifty, vision is lost in the central field, even though patients can still see in their peripheral vision. This is not to be confused with other eye conditions such as diabetic macular edema or diabetic eye. New technology can correct this problem.

Another eye disease is glaucoma. The pressure within the human eye is perfectly balanced. When the pressure increases, it presses upon the optic nerve and can cause retina detachment. It’s similar to a disc in your back slipping out of place and putting pressure on a nerve that in turn causes a body part to lose all sensation or use.

In addition to the eye conditions mentioned above, the following conditions are now all treatable with laser surgery.

• Astigmatism (eye has two or more curvatures altering light focus)
