Corneal abrasions result from a disruption or loss of cells in the top layer of the cornea.\u00a0The cornea is the clear front surface of the eye,\u00a0and part of its job is to focus light, enabling you to see. A healthy cornea is essential for good vision. In addition to disrupting vision, a scratched cornea makes your eye more susceptible to infection.\u00a0Many corneal abrasions aren&#8217;t caused by a noticeable traumatic event, such as getting poked in the eye. Sand, dust and other small particles can cause a corneal abrasion as well, especially if you rub your eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item] [\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Afbeelding &#8211; Hoornvlies zwakte of troebelingen \u2013 Corneal dystrofie&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/eyedoctorcostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/8.-Hoornvlies-zwakte.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade_in&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px|&#8221; module_class=&#8221;hoogte_pag2_tweederij&#8221;] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Kop &#8211; Hoornvlies zwakte of troebelingen \u2013 Corneal dystrofie&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;12&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Corneal dystrophy<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion admin_label=&#8221;Accordeon&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top:-10px;&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243;] [et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Read more&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Corneal dystrophies are a group of genetic, often progressive, eye disorders in which abnormal material often accumulates in the clear (transparent) outer layer of the eye (cornea).

Colors may not appear as bright as they once did.\u00a0When symptoms begin to appear, you may be able to improve your vision for a while using new glasses,magnification, appropriate lighting or other visual aids.Think about surgery when your cataracts have progressed enough to seriously impair your vision and affect your daily life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item] [\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Afbeelding &#8211; Nastaar&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/eyedoctorcostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/10.Nastaar.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade_in&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px|&#8221; module_class=&#8221;hoogte_pag2_derderij&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;height:165px!important;&#8221;] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Kop &#8211; Nastaar&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;12&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Secondary cataract<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion admin_label=&#8221;Accordeon&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top:-10px;&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243;] [et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Read more&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sometimes, people who have their vision successfully restored with cataract surgery\u00a0experience a second decline in their eyesight several weeks or months after their cataract procedure.\u00a0The crystalline lens of the eye is enclosed in a clear membrane called the lens capsule.

Glaucoma usually has few or no initial symptoms.\u00a0In most cases, glaucoma is associated with higher-than-normal pressure inside the eye \u2014 a condition called ocular hypertension.\u00a0But it also can occur when intraocular pressure\u00a0is normal. If untreated or uncontrolled, glaucoma first causes\u00a0<span class=\"s2\">peripheral vision loss<\/span>\u00a0and eventually can lead to blindness.\u00a0The two major categories of glaucoma are open-angle glaucoma and narrow angle glaucoma. The &#8220;angle&#8221; in both cases refers to the drainage angle inside the eye that controls the outflow of the watery fluid (aqueous) that is continually being produced inside the eye.\u00a0If the aqueous can access the drainage angle, the glaucoma is known as open angle glaucoma. If the drainage angle is blocked and the aqueous cannot reach it, the glaucoma is known as narrow angle glaucoma.\u00a0Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness in the world (behind\u00a0<span class=\"s2\">cataracts<\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item] [\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221; transparent_background=&#8221;off&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; inner_shadow=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;off&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f0e7d6&#8243;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;on&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;1195px&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_2=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_2=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_3=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_3=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_4=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_4=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px|&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Afbeelding &#8211; Uveitis&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/eyedoctorcostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/12.Uveitis.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade_in&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px|&#8221; module_class=&#8221;hoogte_pag2_vierderij&#8221;] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Kop &#8211; uveitis&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;12&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;5px|5px|5px|5px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Uveitis<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion admin_label=&#8221;Accordeon&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top:14px;&#8221;] [et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Read more&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea \u2014 the middle layer of the\u00a0<span class=\"s2\">eye<\/span>\u00a0that consists of the iris ciliary body and choroid.\u00a0Uveitis can have many causes, including\u00a0<span class=\"s2\">eye injury<\/span>\u00a0and inflammatory diseases.

But as we age, the vitreous begins to dissolve and liquefy to create a watery center.\u00a0Some undissolved gel particles occasionally will float around in the more liquid center of the vitreous. These particles can take on many shapes and sizes to become what we refer to as &#8220;eye floaters.&#8221;\u00a0You&#8217;ll notice that these spots and eye floaters are particularly pronounced if you gaze at a clear or overcast sky or a computer screen with a white or light-colored background. You won&#8217;t actually be able to see tiny bits of debris floating loose within your eye. Instead, shadows from these floaters are cast on the retina\u00a0as light passes through the eye, and those tiny shadows are what you see.\u00a0Noticing a few floaters from time to time is not a cause for concern. However, if you see a shower of floaters and spots, especially if they are accompanied by flashes of light, you should seek medical attention immediately from an eye care professional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item] [\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Afbeelding &#8211; Netvliesloslating \u2013 Ablatio retinae&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/eyedoctorcostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/14.Netvliesloslating.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade_in&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px|&#8221; module_class=&#8221;hoogte_pag2_vierderij&#8221;] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Kop &#8211; Netvliesloslating \u2013 Ablatio retinae&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;12&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;5px|5px|5px|5px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Retinal detachment\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion admin_label=&#8221;Accordeon&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top:-3px;&#8221;] [et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Read more&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Retinal detachment\u00a0occurs when the thin lining at the back of your eye called the retina begins to pull away from the blood vessels that supply it with oxygen and nutrients.\u00a0The retina lies at the back of your eye and sends signals to the brain, allowing it to see.

Over time, high blood pressure can cause damage to the retina\u2019s blood vessels, limit the retina\u2019s function, and put pressure on the optic nerve, causing vision problems.

Macular edema is often a complication of diabetic retinopathy,\u00a0and is the most common form of vision loss for people with diabetes\u2014particularly if it is left untreated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item] [\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Afbeelding &#8211; Bloedvat afsluiting netvlies&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/eyedoctorcostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/21.Bloedvat-afsluiting-netvlies.png&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade_in&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px|&#8221; module_class=&#8221;hoogte_pag2_zesderij&#8221;] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Kop &#8211; Bloedvat afsluiting netvlies&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;12&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;5px|5px|5px|5px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Retinal vascular occlusion<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion admin_label=&#8221;Accordeon&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top:-30px;&#8221;] [et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Read more&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Retinal vascular occlusion affects the retina, the light- sensitive layer of tissue that lines the back of your eye. The retina is vital for vision. The vascular system includes blood vessels called arteries and veins, which transports blood throughout your body, including your eyes. Your retina requires a constant supply of blood to make sure your cells get enough nutrients and oxygen. Blood also removes the waste your retina produces. However, it\u2019s possible for one of the vessels carrying blood to or from the retina to become blocked or have a blood clot. This is called an occlusion.\u00a0The occlusion can cause blood or other fluids to build up and prevent the retina from properly filtering light. When light is blocked or fluids are present, a sudden loss of vision can occur. The severity of vision loss may depend on where the blockage or clot occurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item] [\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Afbeelding &#8211; Oculaire migraine&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/eyedoctorcostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/22.Migranie.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade_in&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px|&#8221; module_class=&#8221;hoogte_pag2_zesderij&#8221;] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Kop &#8211; Oculaire migraine&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;12&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;5px|5px|5px|5px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Ocular migraine<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion admin_label=&#8221;Accordeon&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#8d6029&#8243; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top:-30px;&#8221;] [et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Read more&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ocular migraines are painless, temporary visual disturbances that can affect one or both eyes.
