Strabismus Management for Healthcare Professionals

Lens conditions, including cataracts, cause blurred vision by disrupting light focus in the eye.

Presbyopia

Age-related loss of near vision caused by reduced lens flexibility, leading to difficulty focusing on close objects, commonly managed with glasses, lenses or other treatments.

Cataracts

Clouding of the natural lens causing blurred vision, glare and reduced clarity, typically developing gradually with age and effectively treated with surgery when needed.

Glaucoma

Optic nerve damage often linked to eye pressure, which can develop without symptoms and lead to gradual vision loss if not detected and managed early.

Retinal and macular diseases affect central vision and visual clarity, often progressing gradually without early symptoms.

Retinal Detachment

A serious condition where the retina separates, causing sudden vision changes and requiring urgent assessment.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

A condition affecting the macula that leads to gradual or sudden central vision loss, impacting tasks such as reading, driving and recognising faces.

Diabetic eye conditions affect the retina due to vascular changes, often progressing silently. Early detection is essential to preserve vision.

Diabetic Macular Oedema (DME)

A diabetes-related condition causing fluid buildup in the macula, affecting central vision and requiring ongoing monitoring and care.

Diabetic Retinopathy

A diabetes-related eye condition affecting the retina that can lead to vision changes and requires regular monitoring.

Conditions affecting the connection between the eye and brain, impacting vision and visual processing.

Optic Neuritis

Inflammation of the optic nerve that can cause sudden vision changes, often requiring prompt assessment to determine the underlying cause.

Papilledema

Swelling of the optic nerve caused by increased pressure in the skull, often requiring prompt evaluation to identify the underlying cause.

Eye conditions in children affecting vision development, often without obvious symptoms.

Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

A condition where vision does not develop properly in one eye during childhood, affecting clarity and requiring early assessment.

Strabismus (Eye Misalignment)

A condition where the eyes do not align properly, affecting visual coordination and requiring assessment to support normal vision development.

Conditions affecting the front surface of the eye, impacting vision clarity and eye comfort.

Keratoconus

A condition where the cornea thins and changes shape, causing distorted vision and requiring ongoing monitoring and care.

Conditions affecting the eyelids and tear system, impacting comfort and eye surface health.

Blepharitis

A common eyelid condition causing irritation, redness and discomfort, often requiring ongoing care to manage symptoms and maintain eye health.

Conditions affecting how the eye focuses light, leading to blurred or distorted vision.

Astigmatism
