Its God's most precious gift to us. The worlds only and first natural camera. This camera needs a lot of maintanance and a know how of it. Whether you're gathering information for yourself or a family member, keeping yourself informed is the best way to go. The more you know, the less scary terms, procedures and treatments will be.

Its a known fact that almost 80,000 Americans are blind from glaucoma, and another million are at risk for vision loss because they don't know they have it. This may be case with you or your loved ones. (God bless nothing happens) But still you just can't be too optimistic about it. You have to informed to your yourself and your eyes in good shape.

Some Eye diseases can destroy vision over time and cause you irrepairable loss of vision. Age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and retinitis pigmentosa call for careful follow-up by your eyecare practitioner to prevent as much vision loss as possible. Seeing your eyecare practitioner for regularly scheduled visits increase your chances of early detection and treatment of sight-stealing eye diseases, especially if you have a family history of eye disease.

Conditions such as amblyopia and strabismus should be carefully watched, especially in children. These two frequently go hand-in-hand, and vision in the afflicted eye will deteriorate or be permanently lost if either condition is left untreated.
