Eye diseases are increasingly common in modern life. In the
age of technology, eyes are often exposed to electronic media, or because of
environmental pollution, eye diseases are increasing.
Eyes are the most sensitive part of human, so without proper
care, eyes will easily get some diseases. The following are the 10 most common
eye diseases according to the statistics of Saigon Eye Hospital.

Corneal ulcers are a fairly common disease in developing
countries. One of the main causes of the disease is the lack of vitamin A in
the daily diet. In addition, hot and humid weather conditions are also the
cause of corneal ulcers. The cornea is the transparent outer layer of the eye.
The cornea is the site that allows light to pass through the eye.
Because it is the outermost layer, the cornea must be in
direct contact with bacteria and dirt, tears help clean the cornea. But if the
level of bacteria exceeds the ability of tears to clean, it will cause corneal
ulcers. Even microscopic injuries caused by rubbing your eyes or contact lenses
can cause corneal ulcers. Corneal ulcers, if left untreated, can even cause
permanent blindness.
Increased intraocular pressure
In glaucoma, the optic nerve is damaged, thus affecting the
eye's ability to see. Glaucoma is very common and is one of the main causes of
permanent blindness. The main cause of glaucoma is an increase in the pressure
of the fluid present in the eye. Glaucoma can happen suddenly with little warning.
So get regular eye exams to avoid glaucoma.

men and women over the age of 50. AMD is a condition in which damage to the
retina leads to severe, partial vision loss that can be severe. cause
