A cataract is when a cloudy and opaque formation forms in the lens of the eye.
In order to see clearly, the lens must be clear, so light can pass through without obstruction.
When cataracts begin to form, this can interfere with normal vision.
Though there are many types of cataracts, most are related to aging.
When significant, the cataract may blur vision and affect the patient's quality of life.
Many patients describe cataracts as though they are looking through a dirty window.
Patients frequently report blurred vision, trouble driving at night and difficulty reading.

When you blink, a clear tear film spreads across the surface of the eye.
Good vision is possible because that film keeps the eyes moist and lubricated.
Dry eye occurs when tear film abnormalities prevent adequate lubrication of the eyes.
Tear film consists of three layers: a mucus layer, an oily layer and a watery layer.
Each layer of tear film serves a very specific purpose.
The oily layer is the outermost layer, and works to reduce evaporation of tears.
The watery layer is what we would normally consider tears.

A pterygium is a growth of tissue that invades the cornea from the conjunctiva.
It can start out small and grow to become large enough to obstruct vision.
It may start out as a pinguecula (link), which is a yellowish growth on the conjunctiva, and grow into a larger, more obstructive pterygium.
These growths on the eye can become swollen and red, or even thick enough to feel as if there is something in the eye.
Some ptergia may grow to interfere with the shape of the cornea and even result in astigmatism.

Ptosis (droopiness) is a common condition that affects the upper eyelid of one or both eyes.
It can be a result of aging, a congenital defect, muscle deformity or neurological disorder.
This condition can occur in patients of all ages, but is most common in older patients, and will likely continue to worsen with age.
Ectropion is a "turning inside out" of the eyelid so the inner eyelid is exposed.
Common causes include aging, sun damage, tumors, burns and the removal of too much skin during upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty).
