As we age, the structure of the proteins that make up the lens of the eye begin to change.
These structural changes in the lens of the eye are often the result of oxidative stress from sunlight exposure and antioxidant depletion.
As the proteins in the lens of the eye change, it causes clouding and distortion of the lens of the eye.
This clouding of the lens of the eye is referred to as a cataract, and eventually leads to a decrease in vision and increase in glare or halos (especially at nighttime).

Glaucoma is a multifactorial disease process with many different sub-categories.
In the simplest sense, glaucoma is an eye disease in which the fluid pressure within the eye is elevated.
This elevated pressure (referred to as intraocular pressure or IOP) can cause damage to the optic nerve.
If glaucoma is left untreated vision loss or even blindness may occur.
Glaucoma is often "silent" meaning early to moderate glaucoma is usually imperceptible and not noticeable.
It is up to eye doctors to diagnose and treat glaucoma before it has a chance to affect vision.

Your body produces tears to keep your eyes comfortable throughout the day.
Dry eye occurs when our tear layer is disrupted and can cause symptoms of irritation, burning, blur, gritty feeling, and watery eyes.
The single most common symptom of dry eyes is watering eyes!
Other symptoms include intermittently (on and off) blurred vision, eye burning, eye stinging, eye heaviness, and eye fatigue.
Dry eyes is often worse at the end of the day but can present at anytime, especially when reading or working on the computer for extended periods of time.

Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) is a disease that affects the retina in the back of your eye.
ARMD causes loss of central vision by damaging the macula, which is the center of the retina.
There are two types of macular degeneration: dry and wet.
The dry type of ARMD is often slowly progressive while the wet type of ARMD can cause vision problems very quickly.
The name "wet" refers to leakage of blood and fluid from damaged blood vessels in the eye.
Early signs of macular degeneration may not be perceptible to you but late symptoms of macular degeneration can include "wavy" appearing lines, cloudy or distorted central vision, more difficulty seeing in low light or nighttime.
