Cataracts: Cloudiness over the eye's lens, cause blurring of vision, halos around lights, and sensitivity to glare. [5] It is also the main cause of blindness worldwide.

[32] Because young children typically do not complain of blurry vision, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have yearly vision screening starting at three years old so that unknown refractive errors or other ophthalmic ...

Astigmatism, a disorder that affects how the eyes focus light, can be exacerbated at night. Blurry vision and headaches are symptoms of astigmatism. Why astigmatism causes blurry vision ...
In with-the-rule astigmatism, the eye has too much "plus" cylinder in the horizontal axis relative to the vertical axis (i.e., the eye is too "steep" along the vertical meridian relative to the horizontal meridian). Vertical beams of light focus in front to horizontal beams of light, in the eye.
Here are the 12 best mascaras for sensitive eyes, according to editor testing and two ophthalmologists. Shop our picks for volume, length, definition, and more.
Cyanopsia primarily affects the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, and sometimes the optic nerve, which transmits visual signals to the brain. The retina contains specialized cells called photoreceptors, which are responsible for detecting light and color. In cyanopsia, these photoreceptors, particularly the ones ...
