Many eye diseases are not curable at this time, but treatment can improve the quality of life for patients and slow the progression of the damage. Here are three examples of eye diseases that are not curable but nevertheless treatable. Patients with these conditions can live full and independent lives.
How do you correct the eye defect?
- Vision problems such as myopia and hyperopia can be corrected with lenses that help focus light on the retina.
- Myopia is corrected with a concave lens, while hyperopia is corrected with a convex lens.
What's the worst eye disease?
1. Glaucoma. Abrupt and severe pain in your eyes and seeing halos can be signs of glaucoma. Glaucoma is an eye condition caused by elevated levels of fluid pressure in the eyes, which can potentially damage the fragile fibers of the optic nerve.
