Eye Disease

Chronic Eye Conditions in Australia
• Over 13 million people in Australia have one or more long-term eye conditions, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
• Some eye conditions can be genetically or age-related, with certain diseases having a hereditary component.
• To reduce the risk of eye conditions, regular eye tests, a healthy lifestyle, and protective eyewear are recommended.

Eye Strain and Dry Eyes
• Long hours of computer or television use can strain eyes, leading to fatigue and blurred vision.
• Dry environments, like heated or air-conditioned offices, can exacerbate these symptoms.
• To prevent eye strain, take regular breaks, change focus, and blink frequently.
• If symptoms persist, consult an optometrist for treatment suggestions.

Blurry Vision at Night
• Fatigue, refractive errors, mild short-sightedness, and dryness can cause temporary blurriness.
• If blurry vision persists or occurs frequently, it's recommended to have your eyes examined by a professional.
