Strabismus is the medical term for misalignment of the two eyes that are not straight. It occurs in at least five per cent of the population.

Amblyopia (commonly known as “lazy eye”) happens when the vision in one eye doesn't develop properly in early childhood.

Glaucoma occurs due to damage to the optic nerve. Over time the disease develops into a loss of peripheral (side) vision.

Floaters are dark specks in the form of dots, circles, lines, or cobwebs. Flashing lights can appear as lights going on and off, especially to one side.

Dry eyes happens when your eyes don't produce enough tears, or tears evaporate too quickly.

Diabetic retinopathy occurs when elevated sugar (glucose) levels in your blood cause the blood vessels in the eye to swell and leak in the retina.

Cataracts occur as your lenses naturally harden with age and may turn cloudy. The effect can be like looking through a dirty car windshield.
