Introduction:
Eye diseases are very diverse and not all of them can be contagious. If the eye disease is caused by a virus or bacteria it can be contagious, whereas if the cause is allergic it will not be contagious. The way to handle and prevent these kinds of eye diseases is also different, depending on the cause. Here are a variety of eye diseases that you need to know:
To avoid glaucoma due to nerve sensitivity in the conjunctival
muscles in the eye
1) Miopi:
Miopi is someone who cannot see objects at a distance. It usually occurs in students. It can be helped with sunken lensed glasses.
Hypermetropy:
Hypermetropy
is someone who cannot see objects that are close to the eye. Can be helped with convex lenses glasses.
2) Presbyopia:
Presbyopia is someone who cannot see objects that are close or far away. Can be assisted with double-lens glasses. It usually occurs in the elderly. Blindness and blindness means that one cannot see anything at all. Blindness can be caused by heredity, or accident. Farsighted means someone can only see vaguely. Blind and shortsighted people usually "read" with their fingers. This is called Braille.
3)Color blind:
Color blindness is a condition in which a person cannot distinguish colors at all. All that can be seen is black, gray and white. Color blindness is usually a hereditary disease. This means that if someone is color blind, almost certainly their children are also color blind. Cataract Cataract is an eye disease in which the lens of the eye becomes opaque due to thickening of the lens of the eye and occurs in the elderly (elderly). Astigmatism = irregularities in the biased surface of the eye resulting in unfocused light at one point of the retina (yellow spots). Can be assisted with slinder glasses / Refractive surgery. Night blindness Night blindness is an eye disease caused by eyes deficient in vitamin A. Sufferers usually cannot see during the evenings. Conjunctivitis (contagious) Is an eye disease due to irritation or inflammation due to infection in the membrane lining the eyes. Symptoms turn red, have a career, feel pain, itch, blurred vision, and dirt comes out. This disease is contagious and can last for months. Several factors cause it, such as viral or bacterial infections, allergies (dust, powder, wind, feathers or smoke), long-term contact and less clean contact lenses. Infants can experience eye pain, the only different cause is infection due to passing through the birth canal. In infants, this disease is called gonococcal conjunctivitis and in general the eyes of a newborn will be dripped with eye medication or antibiotic ointment to kill the bacteria that causes it.

4) Trachoma (contagious):
Eye infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria that breed in dirty or poorly sanitized environments and can be contagious. This disease often attacks children, especially in developing countries. Have symptoms: reddened eyes, removing dirt, swelling of the eyelids and lymph nodes and the cornea looks cloudy. Handling: Keep tools / objects that have been used by sufferers from others. Antibiotic ointments containing tetracycline and erthromycin will usually be given for a month or more. If not treated immediately can cause the formation of scar tissue in the cornea, causing eyelashes to fold inward and vision problems occur. Surgery may need to be done if deformities occur on the eyelids or cornea. Vernal keratoconjunctivity (KV) Irritation / inflammation of the cornea (clear membrane) due to allergies, causing pain. Having symptoms of red, watery eyes, swollen eyelids, itching, and the presence of eye discharge. CV is a recurring or seasonal inflammation and the sufferer tends to recur, especially in summer. Sometimes there are people with CV who experience damage to a small portion of the cornea, causing acute pain. Handling it in the following ways: Do not touch or rub the eyes because it can cause irritation. Compress eyes with warm water. The doctor will usually give eye drops.
5) Endophthalmitis:
Infection in the inner lining of the eye so that the eyeball is festering. Symptoms of red eyes, pain and even vision problems. This infection is quite severe so it must be treated immediately because it can cause blindness. The cause is usually caused by something's eye piercing. Handling: Antibiotics will usually be given by an ophthalmologist. Surgery is performed to remove the pus from the eyeball. Orbital Cellulitis (SO) Eye disease due to inflammation in the tissue around the eyeball. Symptoms of red eyes, pain, swollen eyelids, bulging and swollen eyeballs, and fever. In children, SO often results from eye injuries, sinus infections or dental infections. The doctor will usually do an x-ray of the teeth and mouth or sinus CT scan to determine the cause. If you don't get treatment right away, the disease can be fatal, such as blindness, brain infection or blood clots in the brain. The following treatments you can do: If the case is classified as mild, antibiotics can be given orally. In severe cases antibiotics will be given through blood vessels or surgery to remove pus or drain the infected sinus.
6) Blepharitis:
Inflammation that occurs in the eyelid due to excessive oil production and comes from the lining of the eye. Having symptoms in the form of red eyes, heat, pain, itching, meaning, there are sores on the eyelids and swollen, even loss of eyelashes. Blepharitis is divided into two types, namely anterior blepharitis (inflammation of the frontal eye, which is attached to the eyelashes, caused by staphylococcal bacteria). And posterior blepharitis (inflammation of the inner eyelid, the eyelid and contact with the eye, caused by abnormalities in the oil glands).
7) Handling:
Diligent cleaning around the eyelids to remove excess oil by using a special cleanser. Antibiotic ointment to kill bacteria.
8) Dacrosystitis:
Eye disease caused by a blockage in the nasolacrimal duct (the channel that tears the nose). Blockage caused by allergies that cause infections around the tear sacs that cause pain, red and swollen, can produce pus and have a fever.
9) Corneal Ulcer (UK):
Infection in the outer cornea and usually occurs due to fungi, viruses, protozoa, or some types of bacteria such as staphylococci, pseudomonas or pneumocukus. Initially it could be due to winding or being stabbed by a foreign object. This disease can occur on the entire surface of the cornea to the inside and back of the cornea. When the disease worsens it can lead to complications of infection in the deeper parts of the cornea, perforation of the cornea (holes occur), iris abnormalities (iris) and eye damage. Having symptoms of red eyes, itching, watering, pain, eye discharge appear, sensitive to light, there are yellowish white pus spots on the cornea, and vision problems. Handling: Tests such as refraction, tear tests, corneal measurements, and pupillary reflex response tests are required. Mild UK levels can be treated with eye drops containing antibiotics, antivirals or antifungals. If severe, surgery may be required for corneal transplantation.
