Many eye diseases are minor and short-lived when treated properly, while some eye problems can lead to a permanent loss of vision. It is imperative to have regular eye check-ups to make sure you have a clean bill of health. Early detection and treatment can prevent significant vision loss.
It is important that you see an eye care professional right away if you experience a sudden change in vision, dimness, eye pressure, or if you see flashes of light. Other symptoms that need quick attention are eye inflammation, eye pain, double vision, and fluid coming from the eye.
These symptoms can be early signs of common eye diseases such as:
Age Related Macular Degeneration
