This can lead to inflammation, discomfort, double vision, and even changes in appearance. Understanding why Thyroid Eye Disease happens—and how to treat it—is essential to protecting your vision and ensuring long-term eye health.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that primarily affects people over the age of 50. It damages the macula—the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision needed for activities like reading, driving, and recognizing faces. While AMD doesn’t cause complete blindness, it can significantly impact your quality of life if left untreated. Understanding its early signs and knowing how to manage it effectively can help preserve your vision for years to come.

This condition occurs when the conjunctiva — the thin, transparent tissue covering the white of the eye and inside of the eyelids — becomes inflamed or infected. While pink eye is usually not serious, it can spread quickly and cause irritation, making early recognition and treatment important.
