This category reflects the organization of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision. Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes H30-H36 within Chapter VII: Diseases of the eye, adnexa should be included in this category.
The connection between a loss in nerve sensitivity and tear production is also the subject of current research. [ 27 ] Dry eye also occurs or becomes worse after LASIK and other refractive surgeries , in which the corneal nerves which stimulate tear secretion [ 4 ] are cut during the creation of a corneal flap .

It is recommended to use a dark user interface while working at night on the computer. [8] Several browser and OS settings or add-ons exist to darken the user interface. A 2017 randomized controlled trial evaluated macular carotenoid supplements (lutein, zeaxanthin, and mesozeaxanthin) in people with high screen time usage. The supplement group ...

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME): is an eye disease specifically related to diabetes, occurring due to fluid build-up in the retina as a result of sustained high blood glucose levels. It can result in blurred vision and vision loss. [5] Eye floaters and spots: where visible cloud-like images appear to "float" in an individual's field of vision. [6]
Micropsia is a condition affecting human visual perception in which objects are perceived to be smaller than they actually are. Micropsia can be caused by optical factors (such as wearing glasses), by distortion of images in the eye (such as optically, via swelling of the cornea or from changes in the shape of the retina such as from retinal edema, macular degeneration, or central serous ...
Stargardt disease is the most common inherited single-gene retinal disease. [1] In terms of the first description of the disease, [2] it follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, which has been later linked to bi-allelic ABCA4 gene variants (STGD1).
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease that affects the eyes and can lead to vision loss through break down of the central part of the retina called the macula. Degeneration can occur in one eye or both and can be classified as either wet (neovascular) or dry (atrophic).
